Re: What to do about the kitchen?
I'm the wrong person to comment; I hate remodeling, change and the consequent uproar and disruption; lived with the original kitchen for 46 years till I sold the house and moved here. I never felt the need to keep up with the Jones; I cooked just fine in my antiquated kitchen.Re: What to do about the kitchen?
Thanks dandysmom for your reply.--It's the same with me the thought of the disruption and no kitchen for weeks doesn't help me to go for a new kitchen. A revamp would be a lot easier to deal with. I may go with my son's advice to just give it a freshen up and spend the money on something else.Re: What to do about the kitchen?
Rueben, if I were you I would take your Sons advice. My missus had a lovely (to me anyway) real wood kitchen, it was old admittedly but good stuff, she had all the presses and cupboards pulled out to make room for a load of plastic topped rubbish, just to be trendy. The disruption is unreal, plaster dust everywhere, not being able to find things, Men coming in and out of your house all the time, water off, water on, power off etc. chaos everywhere. She is delighted with it now but for how long?. Your kitchen has the very best of stuff and will last a lifetime, think hard before you throw it all out, in a few years time they will all want the old ones back, mark my words.Re: What to do about the kitchen?
I dont like modern kitchens, I like french kitchens with free standing cupboards and open shelves, I havent got one of course and my kitchen needed doing so we just painted the doors Cream and we can paint the walls any colour we like, I am stuck with a red blind but at least that is bright.Re: What to do about the kitchen?
Rueben, I would love a kitchen like yours, the dovetail joints you mentioned did it for me. Ours is a new one, fitted a couple of years ago, it's OK I suppose but lacks character like yours will have. Your son has given you some good advice there.Re: What to do about the kitchen?
One of the doctors in the group I worked for had his kitchen remodeled; it was out of service for about three weeks in midsummer; they had to cook out on the barbecue, eat out or order in. Complete disruption and hub-bub. His disposition wasn't very good to begin with, and he was a horror whilst all this was going on. Your son speaks sense to me .....Re: What to do about the kitchen?
