Oh, I ain't going anywhere. Every house I've looked at has had the most GAWDAWFUL bathrooms, so there's surely at least one more bathroom remodel in my future! LOL There are lots of cabinetmakers up here who are willing to do inset doors. Crown Point, Black Cove, Kennebec, Thomas Moser are all within two hours' drive of me, and there are lots of less-famous types. Maybe it's a New England thing. Unfortunately, they will charge you an arm and a leg and your firstborn child. I would do any number of evil things for a kitchen like the one I linked to above, but that's only, oh, easily $75,000 worth of cabinetry! (Frankly, I can't even imagine being able to scrounge up more than about a third of that to pay for an entire kitchen renovation, unless I won the lottery jackpot. My budget is more like Ikea, and they were mean and dropped their inset style. Feh.) Someone was kind enough last year to give me some pictures showing a way to fake inset cabinets using trim pieces and decorative end panels on frameless cabinets - . Look very carefully at the closest cabinet.

I use 'Acronis True Image'with a desktop and an external drive. The Acronis 'Secure Zone'(backup) is on the external. In fact, had some problems today and restored my entire drive in about 20 minutes. You can use Acronis 'Snap Restore' which will allow you to start using the drive while it is backing up (backs up critical system files while you're working). It's not free but the time it has saved me in restoring my PC was well worth the price. Witz You can buy it online or 'box'version at one of the major stores. Here is a link that might be useful: Acronis True Image 10

Sharon, Just when I thought I'd have time to be a regular at CF again...my time gets zapped up so quickly. I wanted you to know I am thoroughly enjoying these posts! I am having a great time figuring out what you're saying with my own camera. My pictures have already improved remarkably. I've been begging (okay, whining) to take some classes and they just aren't to be found around here. Your tutorials are just what I need! Thank you for all your time! Deb

Thank you for posting this! I'm taking forever to move back into my new kitchen! My dh has been asking why I haven't put everything away and it's because my kitchen lives so completely different than my old one. He doesn't understand that because he thinks the layout looks basically the same. But we swapped the ovens and fridge, added a prep sink and moved the cooktop off the island to a new peninsula. I'm taking my time because I want to live in it and move things where I want them vs where they landed because I don't want to have to move them multiple times. Now that I've gotten the basics where I want them, I'm moving seasonal items to those harder to reach upper cabinets and filling in empty cabinets with occasional use items. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your new space when it's done. :)
