I thought all of about 10 seconds about moving walls before I decided that once was enough. Life is too short!! My next plan was to do granite counter tops and new cabinet doors and keep the layout. Unfortunately there was a leak under the kitchen sink and the cabinet got warped so I think I probably need to change it. In any case, the estimate I got for the new doors was over $4K whereas new tricked out cabinets from IKEA were only about $3K. So-o-o ...

As for the granite, Lowes was going to do it but they wanted to be paid in full before they would begin any work. And they wouldn't even guarantee they would finish before we left! Instead I think I will use Duncan Stone in Tavares. We toured their yard and they have some beautiful stuff. They don't want any money until they finish and you are satisfied. All their work is done right there and we watched it being milled. I found them at vendor night at SS.
