Turns out there's more to remodeling a kitchen than remodeling a kitchen. Once a kitchen + dining room area is done, the entire space has to be brought up to the level of the kitchen. We already bought a great cherry-wood dining table, but now we need a matching buffet and some catchy wall art.
Our remodel also created a new coat closet, which now needs to be painted and set up. We're starting with a simple bar to hold coats, but we're talking about putting some builtin drawers for shoes into the bottom. We could either find some furniture that won't fit exactly, have someone build us something, or use this as an excuse for me to buy a table saw and see what I can do. Marisa's in charge of picking out a veneer for the eventual built-ins. Tip: split work by the things you care about. She cares about the exact finish, I care about playing with power tools and being a manly man.
The coat closet also needs a door. We've got one tentatively picked out, but its style won't match the adjacent office and powder room doors, so .... that's 2 more doors. All the doors' style will not match the baseboards or the cake stripe (I don't know what you actually call moulding that runs across the middle of the wall), so those need to be replaced. And they should be replaced at the same time as we paint the adjacent living room walls to match ...
Pull one thread, the entire sweater unravels.
