Now that we have a plan in place and have agreed on a budget, it is time to start the serious business of renovating a kitchen.
We are about to start on a couple of major kitchen and bath renovations and it suddenly occurred to me how many people are involved in that process and how overwhelming it could be to someone who doesn’t do it every day. I thought it might help some of you if I simply documented the steps that we go through just to get through the estimate phase. If you can conquer that beast you are good to go.

We are headed to market in Atlanta today. The list is loooong and excitement is great as we prepare to place orders to finally “dress” the “big house on the hill at the end of the long drive” as so many of you have called it.

Read MoreLast week was a fast blur as photo shoot dates changed hourly but we finished decking the halls: one house at a time.
I can’t share much with you and I really cannot stand that I have to wait a whole year to see these pictures but let me just say that you don’t want to miss the Christmas issue of Southern Lady Magazine next year.

You are a dream to work with.
