paint, attaching the electrical face plates, washing everything that was removed from the cabinets and putting it all back again, hanging pictures and tinkering with decorations. Of course, I’m the queen bee of the organizational freaks so this was the fun part for me, and six months later I’m still tinkering with it to the point that every other week Bob needs to ask where the knives are now... I just keep him guessing. The total out of pocket cost for this project ... around $5,000! So if you’re dreaming of a new kitchen for the holidays it could be closer than you think. As for us, it’s time to plan the next venture -- a new home office.
