My Dream Kitchen

When we bought our house, one of the first things Dave said was, “The kitchen has to go!” He has hated our kitchen ever since we moved in. We had just finished remodeling our kitchen at our old house and he did a lot of the work on it himself. He was very proud of it and it looked beautiful. So to move into a house with a very old, dark, small kitchen, complete with goose wallpaper, was tough for him. He has been anxious to remodel it since day one and now we are just about ready to start.

One of the biggest changes we want to make is to take down the wall between the kitchen and the living room. It will look wonderful and make it much more spacious.

At the top of my list is completely redoing the cabinets. Right now anything tall, like a syrup bottle, won’t fit. And I can barely reach the top shelf. I’d also love the some of the bottom cabinets to have drawers and others to have sliding shelves.

As for countertops, we keep going back and forth about what kind we like. We are leaning toward Quartz or Granite. I’ve heard great things about both and was excited to see this infographic from Sears Home Services that details the differences and the pros and cons of each.

For the flooring we are going to go with a laminate wood throughout the rest of the house and will put it in the kitchen as well which will make it flow together seamlessly.

We can’t wait to start remodeling and building our dream kitchen and that’s why I was excited to learn that Sears has a number of special offers this month that sound amazing!
