Kitchen nightmare continues

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52144) • Staten Island, New York 5 Sep 23

Kitchen appliances should be put into the kitchen and installed after all the kitchen cabinetry work is done. That is what I anticipated would happen and so did not postpone our appliance delivery scheduled for August 31st. That...

I need to pick out handles for the kitchen cabinets. The guy sent me pictures to look at but there is nothing there that screams "pick me." Decided to look online on different sites and see if there is anything that may appeal...

On Saturday, most of our kitchen was delivered but it was the wrong color. We were expecting a "winter fun" (color) kitchen but instead we got "white chocolate", which we also had in our samples but did not want. Can you believe...

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52144) • Staten Island, New York 25 Aug 23

I got a call from the kitchen guy yesterday that he is ready to install the kitchen. It will be delivered today and installed tomorrow. I don’t get why it can’t all be done in one day. Even if the delivery people are not the ones...

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52144) • Staten Island, New York 13 Aug 23

We still haven't gotten our countertop for the kitchen. We went to a warehouse to look at the slabs. Initially we went there to look for quartz but we noticed they had granite as well so checked those out too. After looking at...

Not sure which kitchen floor tile to get

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52144) • Staten Island, New York 31 Jul 23

Finally went to look at floor tile for the kitchen. In my mind I was thinking big square tile (24x24 in perhaps) but hubby really wants the big long ones (24x48 in). The guys at the store told us that since our square footage is...

I cleared our everything from the kitchen cabinets and countertop. Thought the contractor may start work today. But he only came to discuss what we want done. He will start work either Friday or Monday. I guess that is good. We...

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52144) • Staten Island, New York 17 Jul 23

Our kitchen remodel is going to start this week. Tomorrow I think. The contractor will move the fridge into the living room, so hopefully we will still be able to use it. When he unhooks the stove from the gas that will be it. We...

This is taking forever

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52144) • Staten Island, New York 9 Apr 23

Right now our kitchen cabinets do not go all the way to the ceiling. That is not good because a lot of grease accumulation occurs on top of the top cabinets, which is hard to get off. We want to remodel the kitchen and put...

Stayed home to get more packing done but that didn't work out as planned.

Marsha @MarshaMusselman (38865) • Midland, Michigan 3 Aug 21

So instead I got a few other things done instead. I finally planted a cone flower that I purchased in June. It's been sitting in a tray and I make sure water is in the tray so the flower had fed itself all this time. The picture...
