You will know more about whether or not to paint the cabinets after everything else is done.

Judy, you are right. The walls will have to be painted, and that's why I was thinking of having a decorator come in for an hour to tell me if I should paint the cabinets too. Gary does not want them painted but if the decorator says they need it, I think he'll be OK. She also does landscape design and I need some advice what plants to plant in our beds if we ever get out of this drought.

Sounds like a very good plan!

I am going to contact our gardener, and get some landscape advice. They will supply and plant, and I will pay for this. Then, they will maintain it all for me.

Should I do it in the summer, fall, or next spring?

You are wise to take it slow. Painting isn't final. It can be stripped later, but if you did want to go back to wood finish it would probably be easier to replace the doors and stain than to strip and refinish.

If you would like to see the paint finish I suggested you can go to www.designerhomesbyrexhorst.com. In the photo gallery, check out kitchens, image 15 of 48. That's Sherwin Williams Softer Tan with a Van Dyke Brown glaze. The painter has to use the right technique to get it right. Not too heavy, not to light. We have to supervise them when they begin so that they know how we want it to look. It's beautiful when complete and goes well with a granite that has a lot of motion like yours does.

Have fun!!! Hope this helps. I'll try to post some pics of another house where yOu can see it better.

OMG Marilyn! I want Rex to build me my dream home!!! He is an artist extraordinaire! I think I want the home with the columns!

How is Karen?

Gayle, have they begun putting in the counter tops, and so on, yet? I can't wait to see pictures.

The counter tops are in but the backsplash is not done. I'll post some pictures when I get home. I have a few on my iPad, but I don't know how to post pics from my iPad.

They will put in the backsplash on Monday and Tuesday. Then we'll have our stove installed on Wednesday. The only thing we will have left then is painting.
