The cabinets are already white. Or one of the 10,000 shades of white. I’m just getting new doors. The cabinets themselves are real wood and are in good shape.

LOL. I need to go see more granite tomorrow. I think maybe the granite people have so much business they don’t have to pretend to be polite. The one that had the typhoon bordeaux that was super pretty - I asked for a quote on a backsplash just on one wall. The lady argued with me how much work it was to do, etc. Finally she agreed to do it and email me the quote. And I got the same thing as before - either backsplash everywhere or none at all. She knew what I wanted but didn’t want to expend any energy, apparently.

So I called the place with my 2nd choice. I asked that the slab be cut so that the redder sections are near the stove. No, they can’t do that. If they can use remnants on the smaller counters (the ones on either side of the stove), then they will. This lady was very obnoxious. I pointed out that I’m paying them, yet they get to decide how my kitchen is going to look? The last place would at least let me choose what parts of the slab go where. As long as I don’t try to do a backsplash. LOL. You can’t have everything in life.

So I’m going to 3 more places tomorrow. I’m finding there are granite places all over. So I’ll see what I can’t have at the other places and then decide what I can live without.

I used to like remodeling.

Sounds like you’ll be on another good mission. Let ‘em know they’ve got competition 😂
