When I started this blog I was hoping to be able to document my kitchen makeover. You know, show before and after, put up posts about the appliances that we're buying and talk about the whole decision making process. Well, my kitchen remodel hasn't happened. We opted for a outdoor hardscape and pool remodel instead and our home equity loan is still bleeding from the experience.

Sadly, I still have an outdated kitchen with avocado green kitchen countertops and plates that come out of the cabinets chilled in the winter because there's little or no insulation in the walls. And unfortunately I don't think we'll have enough budget to fix this anytime soon.

Another option would be to do the remodel myself. I'm pretty handy like that and even finished my basement a few years ago so it's possible.

And I just found a great resource for people who want to remodel their kitchens. Kitchen.com's - Ask a Designer is a must see site for anyone looking for ideas on remodeling.

Don't worry, it's not like reading a kitchen redesign book (yawn), there's tons of videos that show you exactly what they're talking about. Topics include, Designing and Decorating, Budgets and Planning, Cabinets, Countertops and more.

Funny, that there doesn't seem to be any videos with avocado green countertops. I'll take that as a sign that it's time to start my own kitchen makeover.
