My kitchen reno that I thought would last for 3-4 weeks is now in its fifth month. The cabinets went in quickly but I had an issue with my counter which held things up for ages. Then barfy children and life in general got in the way of everything else. Our beautiful backsplash was finally installed last week.
The backsplash has added a new step to the reno though. The colours do not match the existing wall colour, which is Behr’s Salty Tear.
Gunn Family Kitchen Reno {First 3 Days}
I have been in kitchen reno hell for 3 days now.
Only it’s not the reno part that’s hell. It’s the decision part.
My Own Private I Don’t Know.
Granite or quartz?
Hood or over the range microwave?
Reduce the window trim or change the cabinet layout?
Where exactly on the doors do I want the knobs?
And on and on and on......and guess what? I. Don’t. Know.
Tomorrow is the day I have been waiting for. I have lived with the ugliest kitchen ever for five long years. But tomorrow that is all going to change.
We are getting our new kitchen.
