(We are going to have to redo our kitchen too, but its a couple of years down the road...thank goodness, it seems like so much work, and money!) Love the black granite you chose. Can't wait to see the cabinets painted!!!<br /><br />Really hope you can join us for the Mood Board Monday party. I had so much trouble narrowing down the art, there is just too much good stuff on etsy!!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05459211820940379244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8295689187964926882.post-7311380864614721872012-02-24T10:17:32.263-08:002012-02-24T10:17:32.263-08:00Before I read your answer I had chosen the last on...Before I read your answer I had chosen the last one so yay!!

When we built our home it came with toffee glazed maple standard but later someone told me that painted cabinets are less expensive-wish I would have known, I'd rather have had white ones. I do like my black granite though, I'm sure you'll love your finished kitchen.Karen https://www.blogger.com/profile/02441070110507014088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8295689187964926882.post-84806838591048809282012-02-22T17:38:36.673-08:002012-02-22T17:38:36.673-08:00I love it!

I call my cabinets white just for simplicity sake, but they're really a cream color. I love our cabinets and I will be sad to leave them one day when we move. The natural light coming in those windows is awesome! And looks like there is a third window to the left of middle. Very nice! Thanks for keeping us updated - I know it's probably a lot of work to figure out logisitics of your kitchen plan and draft up a post - but I guess if it's fresh in your mind it's not so bad. And instant material for the blog too!

I want a certain cream color finish that you can typically only get when purchasing higher end custom cabinetry. That type of cabinetry generally has a four week lead time and I had two days so "in stock" it is :)Ispirato Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01868063799720498291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8295689187964926882.post-49186265896421512902012-02-21T14:42:15.055-08:002012-02-21T14:42:15.055-08:00Michelle you must be so excited!
