Great Weekend Planned!

We're meeting with the kitchen planner this weekend. We liked Paul's work on the first floor kitchen last fall so we invited him back to do the second floor kitchen. I have some dramatic ideas but I won't state them now because I want to make sure they're do-able.

We're also installing new carpet in the second floor unit
