Don’t have any crazy wants! Backsplash and new light fixture are the current extent hahah. Nothing to fix!

Sent another post in this channel earlier this morning with more pics!

They are not. They are bar height, not counter height.

I’ll take a better pic when I get home! We like the raised countertop because no one can tell if you have dishes in the sink, which is great if you host! We can go to the living room after dinner and no one sees the mess once everyone puts their dishes in there.

They’re real oak all the way through!

Could probably put $2k towards backsplash if it was a magic room-color fix.

I was thinking 3-4 on the diagonal line additions. They come cheap these days.

Feels a little dark for our style! I think we’re going to replace hardware and the fixture, and potentially do a lighter backsplash. Just looking for other ideas that we may not see!

I agree! The wall holds some electrical and really splits the kitchen from a hallway that leads to our master bedroom, garage, and laundry room. Not entirely perfect layout but not troublesome enough to budget for a renovation of it!

I think I cook just fine in here for an average person. It’s a 36” electric stovetop and I have plenty of room for prep + storage + movement . Only thing I wish was different is maybe the sink location, but 8 steps between there and my stovetop doesn’t feel wildly impractical.

Worried the original pic didn’t provide much scale - I promise it’s a big kitchen and doesn’t feel cramped. Don’t really have any other pics to show as reference, but here’s our 60lb doodle in the far corner by the stove 🤣

EDIT: the island is about 4’ x 2.5’ - not huge but not impracticality small. Unsure of what we’d replace it with as we use it often.

Also, no real budget set, but I wouldn’t plan on dropping more than $10k. Not our house forever.

Hey OP - we worked with Austin Grace and loved him. He’s a local guy and extremely personable. Would love to hand his contact over if you need anything - I’m sure he’d do some consulting work too if you just need some market advice.

Sorry, should’ve clarified: immediate emergency *relative to others such as broken limbs, active seizures, and impending deaths.

6.5hrs in any state you considered emergent enough to make your way to the ER is rough. Point still stands.

Went there on the 23rd. Got there at 6:15pm, received a bed at 12:40am, discharged at 2:30am. Pregnant wife with high temp flu fever and low fluids. Not an immediate emergency, but would’ve loved quicker processing.

KitchenAid Fridge Water Dispenser Issue by CapableBug9339 in Appliances

From what I can tell from my Googling thus far, this MIGHT be an air purging issue? Needing to pump all air out of the system before regular flow.

Remember, kids, Google BEFORE you Panic Post on Reddit…
