One, I think he's nervous about the money, but now it sounds like we're going to go over the monthly budget and bank accounts tonight. This last month has been expensive, but I believe we have 12-18k total in our bank account plus money market account/emergency fund. He's not really used to doing finances OR DIY projects, which I love and have done.
I think he's also scared of 'the project' never getting done and all of my IKEA plans I've made over the last 2 years overwhelm him (even when I just show him one). At least he admits he doesn't like making decisions.
I REALLY dislike our kitchen. We bought the house knowing we would replace it and I'm getting really impatient. I have celiac sprue, so I want a functional kitchen to work in. Currently, I believe we've cooked more meals over to his parents house and my friend's townhouse than we've made in our house.
Anyways, the kitchen comes with (or can come with)
- Professional Grade Cooktop - Frigidaire PLGC36S9C
- General Electric Monogram ZET958 Double Oven
- Jenn-Air JFC2089HES French Door Bottom-Freezer Referigerator
- 3 - 15" x 88" pantries - tons of drawers
- 1 - 24" x 88" pantry - tons of drawers
- 1 - 30" x 88" double oven pantry
- 2 - 36" drawer base cabinets
- 3 - 15" or 18" drawer base cabinets
- 2 - Corner base cabinets, one which has the corner sink
- etc, Ikea wood block counters, granite tile, boxes of floor tile, and other stuff if I like.
Anyways, depending on what I want, $5500 for everything, or $2200 for everything but the appliances, or $3500 for everything minus the pantries and refridgerator. And its really nice that everythings only 3 to 6 months old.
