New Kitchen, Part 3: Cabinets and Faucets

Thought of the Day…Don’t you just love scope creep!

Yesterday, Hubby and I made our first official purchases for your new kitchen and bath. Bath? you ask…

Yep, because we’re also having the floors stripped and refinished, we’re getting the bathroom redone as well because the hard wood floor goes in there, too.

Seems like we’re having scope creep all over the place doesn’t it?! YEP! If you’re unfamiliar with the term scope creep, it is when you have a plan for something and then more things keep getting included… scope creep… it’s becoming a common occurrence with this project! 🙁 and 🙂 Depends on how you look at it. 😉

We’re getting white Shaker style cabinets.

The drawers will be slightly different. Instead all plank as shown above, I think we’ve decided they will be 5-piece like this, but Hubby keeps changing his mind. 🙁 It’s not just me that changes one’s mind! 😉

The only one that he wants as a plank is the top drawer. I’ll let you know when he decides. 😉

Oh yeah, back to our purchases (we haven’t order the cabinets yet; that’s tomorrow). We bought the faucets for both rooms. Totally exciting, eh?

Since we have chosen to do a more vintage look, we’re also getting an oil-rubbed bronze finish for the hardware.

Here is our kitchen faucet…

I don’t remember our kitchen at our old house being so difficult to decide on stuff! Have you ever felt that you can’t decide on something and you keep going in circles?
