This is probably one of the most exciting milestones of the house for me personally. The cabinets are one of the most expensive features in the house. In my second life I need to be a cabinet maker because evidently its quite a lucrative skill. Justin has really let me make almost 99% of the selections (floor plan/brick/paint/tile) all by myself. I make a selection and show him and he nods in agreement and goes on his merry way. But I haven't made the selections completely alone. When we had 10 cabinet doors in our house to check stain colors and we had 50 granite samples and a showroom of tile sample, Miss Kate was with me every step of the way. She LOVED the cabinets and she single-handily picked out the granite (she has good taste so luckily I didn't have to talk her in another direction). So it will be nice for her to see all of her choices come together.
That new song by Miranda Lambert 'the house that built me' makes me tear up every time because I think of this great experience our children are having watching their childhood home go up and become 'ours'. Love it!
