Re-modeling is always an interesting thing...

My contractor placed the order for the kitchen cabinets back in the the end of September/ beginning of October.. and they just now came in. Today the guys started hanging them....and they are the wrong color.

Not a bad color... but the wrong color.

My husband reminded me of when we had a new roof installed 2yrs ago... and they put on the wrong color of tile. We decided to keep it; rather than change it... and it was a good decision. I actually like the "wrong" color roofing better than what I had orginally chosen.

So... we are sticking with the "wrong" cabinets.

Now, the challenge is whether or not the countertops that we had ordered will match the cabinets...but I think it will all work out.

photos are from a couple of months ago. I was near the college here in ABQ... and right by Winning Coffee Co is a fabulous little bungalow home that is now the place of business for a clothing/eclectic shop; and a psychic. I stopped in and had a chat with her.... I suppose I should have asked her about the remodel....
