It better be worth it!

We have been getting our kitchen redone since Easter Sunday. This is how it started...
I asked a friend of ours who is also a painter to give me a price on redoing the cabinets (because they are ugly). He comes over gives us a great price and mentions offhandedly that if we were interested in redoing the counter tops that we might do that before the cabinets. So after talking to Scott we decide that we should get new counter tops (granite of course). After many days of debating and arguing and fighting etc., I veto his granite counter tops and hire a tile guy that is very good and very reasonable (thank you, Shelby). We talk to him about replacing the tile and he mentions offhandedly that if we are thinking at all about replacing the garden window that replacing it before he puts the tile in is a great idea because they will have to damage the tile to get it out. So after many days of debating and arguing and fighting we decide to get the window replaced. Needless to say this little kitchen update has taken on a life of its own. We have been without a functioning kitchen since Easter, that is when Scott started taking the tile off. We are not quite finished yet. We replaced the garden window, had new tile counter tops put in, new stove top, new sink and faucet, new range hood, we are currently having the cabinets re stained. Hopefully, we will be completely finished by this weekend. If not,then the men in the white coats are going to take me away to the padded rooms! I will post before and after pics as soon as it is completely finished, that is of course if they allow cameras where I will be.
