Trek, what work are you going to have done to your kitchen?

Here's hoping it does NOT become a Salsa-like saga. I don't think it'll be too bad.

When I moved out from my Ex-DPITA in I found perhaps the last semi-affordable condo in a semi acceptable neighborhood in the Bay Area. The huge blended family I bought from is likely passed of heart disease, they fried EVERYTHING and painted nothing. I felt sorry for them but since my mutt and I needed a place to live...not sorry enough to say "psst, if you'd move out, clean the clutter and crushed velvet paintings, paint the joint and at least reface the cabinets you'd get much much more."

They had an awful realtor who'd put it on the market, didn't sell, lowered the price, on the market again, didn't sell, dropped the price and so on till I came around and said "hmmm, dirty, greasy, dingy, needs paint, new floors and drawers .... but....potential".

I just refinanced which lowered my mortgage from to more like just , got a small equity loan...let's see what Trek can do. It's time to nest. Place looks like I went through a break up, loss of a parent, then trained to do back to back AIDS Rides ... cause I did.

Oh, and I've been through this before so it's not the first remodel but Spazzdog!! I'll need design help.

You described my house/kitchen perfectly...two differences, location and you are doing something to better the kitchen.

I look forward to seeing remodeling pictures. I hope everything goes a s smoothly as possible.

Thanks Spazz, you have an incredible eye.

I started with a little "curb appeal". Gardening's fun and with luck it can add some privacy. This is what my neighbors and most units look like, agapanthus, ivy over and over. Bleah. The good thing is there's a lot of green space, the bad thing is in front of each unit the same boring plants.

...and this is mine next door.

It's overcast today but you can get the idea. Took the boring ivy out and agapanthus which is just a home for snails.

So far I've planted azalea, abutalon, pineapple sage, yarrow, wooly lambs ear, miniature roses, nasturtiums as ground cover, the lavender is happiest of all there...the idea is more privacy for me, get the whole shebang lining the front walkway. The birds like it and who knows it could ad curb appeal.
