Future Plans

Our latest "project" is a big one--we want to start a kitchen and laundry room remodel.   Actually it is more than just a remodel, it is also an addition.  Our master plan is to turn our current galley kitchen/laundry area into a big open kitchen with an island!!  We have spent lots of time planning out the space, thinking about layout and looking at pictures.  Pretty much our  evenings, if Jason and I are both home, are spent in the office pouring over ideas.  Thank goodness for the website houzz, which has provided us with a lot of inspiration.   Our preliminary draft came back last week....we made some changes and are now waiting for draft #2.   The next step will be permitting (which we have heard can take a LONG time).  Then we will get to do the fun stuff--picking out cabinets, tile and appliances.  I am thinking it is highly unlikely we will break ground before the new year, but we will see how it goes.   I know that will be the un-fun part--dust, drafts, and nowhere to prepare meals or do laundry.   But, it will be all worth it (I think) when we get our new kitchen!
