Over the last several nights we have met with two different cabinet men about remodeling our kitchen. When we started talking about this project it sounded fun. Doug would like more counter space in the kitchen and I would like more cabinet storage. As we discussed it we also realized that there is some furniture we would like to replace and carpeting in the family room that needs to come out.
Tonight, however, it didn't seem so fun anymore. The salesman that came was supposed to talk us into the project, but he really didn't understand our vision. We want something functional that looks nice and is updated. He wanted to sell us high end cabinets and an island that would make our entrance to the basement limited. As he handed us a rough estimate of the cost of his plan that was double our budget I had lost all interest in the project.
Luckily, last night's meeting was a lot better. Syl had warned us that this cabinet man was a little rough around the edges. I guess he wasn't as polished of a salesman, but he knew his cabinets. He listened to our thoughts, threw in some great ideas and complimented our home several times. I realized why Syl said he was rough, but I sure would rather have him remodeling our home than the salesman tonight. We will wait until next week and get his estimate. Hopefully, it will meet our budget and according to his time frame we would be finished by Thanksgiving!!
