I’ve been looking at this kitchen remodel like a long race.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Somewhere between the proverbial start line and the first few hundred meters of the swim (picking up the cabinets).<\/em><\/p>\n

I’d say right now, I’m mid bike.\u00a0 Not quite sure if I’m over half way yet, but close.\u00a0 I’m far enough in to feel a little fatigue, but there’s a lot left to go.\u00a0 The process is actually not been too bad, I honestly think that playing “helper” to people who know what they’re doing is the best possible scenario.\u00a0 If it was contractors, I think I would be impatient and antsy (well, MORE impatient and antsy).\u00a0 If we were doing it all ourselves, we would be SO overwhelmed.\u00a0 For example, we’re putting crown molding over the tops of the cabinets to cover up the fact that they’re a little uneven.\u00a0 I would have never thought of that, but I’m happy to help paint and hang it up!<\/p>\n

I was super excited to put together a kitchen exactly how I wanted it until I actually had to put the kitchen together!\u00a0 I had procrastinated picking out a lot of things because a lot of shops are only open when I’m at work and also I think I was a little intimidated.\u00a0 It was stressful (#fwp) because I was thinking about:<\/p>\n
