I had to cook in our travel trailer and the BBQ...by the end of the remodel my husband and I were no longer speaking to each other...but I've got one of the most gorgeous gourmet kitchens in California!<br />Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14189157322930654023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-8765181547685616262014-05-06T07:46:32.930-04:002014-05-06T07:46:32.930-04:00As a gift to my sister for her 30th birthday, I hi...As a gift to my sister for her 30th birthday, I hired the team at Classic Kitchen and Bath to remodel her kitchen… you know... give it that modern look we see on HGTV. I learned about them from a buddy of mine in Clarendon Hills, IL. These guys did an exceptional job... from design through execution. They not only have great service but their products are high quality. Check them out today www.myclassickitchenandbath.com or visit their amazing showroom in Westmont, IL. I highly recommend them to everyone considering a new kitchen and/or bathroom.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12552575372318087842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-65769460625924649902014-05-06T01:19:07.053-04:002014-05-06T01:19:07.053-04:00I love me a donut, I mean really love them, Also I...I love me a donut, I mean really love them, Also I agree with the rude people at concerts, drives me crazy.

I was mad every time I went to the house, because there were boxes and bags of donuts, sweets and muffins... problem? My dad cant have sugar! GRR! It made me mad she didnt think how bothersome that was for him to have all that sugar and not be able to eat it. I'd go in and throw the darn things away. (I know, shame on me for wasting food, but on my defense, they never keep anything in the fridge or sealed, so they get stale FAST). <br /><br />And that sounds like a nightmare dealing with those medical people... I guess they figure, if you have SOME means, they can squeeze as much as they can from you, and if you cant, they can rebill it somewhere... what a mess.

That...WOW! A Christmas newsletter in May! HAHAHAHA<br /><br />That was an expensive trip to LA. Wow again. Love that new job for #2. It is too bad the place burned down, though. And you don't want to know what happens in ANY restaurant kitchen, been in too many, wished I hadn't been. Medical bills suck. I had to go to the ER w/o insurance. Fortunately, they committed malpractice so I got the bill cut to the price of the medication! Yeah, redo the kitchen. I hear you get about 80-85% back when you sell. Never 100%. No idea how "they" calculate that (saw it on the Internet, so it has to be true, right?). Have fun with the renov!<br /><br />Peace <3<br />JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-62652736760557780432014-05-05T18:34:19.028-04:002014-05-05T18:34:19.028-04:00Wow, you've had quite the experiences as of la...Wow, you've had quite the experiences as of late.

If you feel strongly about the kitchen I would redo it now. We spent 7 thousand on our front stoop/steps/walkway/new front door and we think that sold the house. We got to enjoy it for a few months before we put the house up for sale. The main thing to consider is that you shouldn't improve beyond what your neighbors have. If granite counters are in the houses in your area, then you prob want to go with that. If not, there are other alternatives that look nice and don't cost as much. Talk to a realtor and see what people are looking for in kitchens these days. Is stainless steel still popular? Or is white making a comeback? Whatever you do, do not put up wallpaper. Keep everything as neutral as possible. That's my two cents. :-PLorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15328674280714013955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-33879230860973787892014-05-05T17:37:26.273-04:002014-05-05T17:37:26.273-04:00Kitchens and bathrooms sell a home.

I would kill myself! <br /><br />Redo the kitchen; gut it. YOU need something you like instead of fixing it to sell. Duck wallpaper? groan<br /><br />This is no indication of your costs, but a complete redo, appliances, cabinets and removal of flooring, moving water and electric in my kitchen cost me almost $5K in 1977. These cabinets are beautiful still. I cabinetmaker could not believe they were over 30 years old when he saw them. I may be the only person who likes them and others just lie to me...lol. Oh, we took out two kitchen windows and replaced them, also. With the $5K we borrowed, we put carpet in two bedrooms, den and hall and linoleum in two bathrooms. <br /><br />Was that Damenti's or demented or Damien? My grandson worked at a deli for a few weeks last summer. They knew he had to visit colleges and spend a week where he is going for some sort of training. They let him go to school during the summer for various things and took him back when he could work. <br /><br />Even children should not wander during any performance, but if the parents are rude, how will kids ever learn. My son thought he could do as he pleased at dance recitals for my daughter. I threatened to take him out of baseball if he did not settle down during recitals and not make our lives miserable before we went and during the recitals. His sisters could play and talk during a baseball game, so he was upset he had no freedom at dance recitals. grrrr The worst that people did 35+ years ago was just leave during a number, whether it was musical or dance related. Of course, there were no cell phones.Practical Parsimonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08419071209412207674noreply@blogger.com
