Kitchen Remolding Soon!



When we moved into our home 9 years ago and I hated our kitchen. I've grown to like it, but can't wait to redo the darn thing. Well, dreams do come true and we are doing it soon. I'm hoping it will be a DIY plus a little help from some professionals. I have picked out the cabinets. We're going with the IKEA ABSTRAKT high gloss kitchen. Over the last two years I've been collecting every photo I've seen online of kitchens I loved. Much my surprise, I'm drawn to modern white kitchens. Next up, which counter top do I choose? My dream would be Carrara Marble, however, this is not a practical choice for our family. I need something way more durable and less likely to stain. I found Caesarstone has a nice faux Carrara called Misty Carrera : 4141. I picked up a sample and found it very gray, I'd like something more white. I also found another nice sample from Zodiaq called Bianco Carrara. I really like this one, I can't wait to find a bigger sample. All of this is so exciting and I'm looking forward to sharing all the fun right here.

How exciting for you! I hope you enjoy your kitchen reno during and after! It pays to be a weekend 'warrior'. Can't wait to see how it turns out .......

I will be following your thread with bated breath as I am on the same path as you-exact same cabs and have looked at the carrara caesarstone but think I might actually go with the Organic White with the 3" overhang, or get some bids on black soapstone. PLEASE post when you decide, I need some guidance!
