HOME DECOR: KITCHEN CABINETS - So many possibilities!

<div style="text-align: center;">Its a perfect day for blogging.  </div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm home today, waiting for my new refrigerator to be installed and more than a little excited. It has been 3 weeks, 4 repairmen and endless hours waiting in the '4 hour window' periods.  Finally it is here.  New, shiny, stainless steel, uncomplicated.  Funny how a little thing like having no refrigeration can throw you off your schedule. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I can't believe my mother (now 93) lived her early marriage years without refrigeration.   There was a cow for daily milk.... and a lot of canning, pickling, storing of vegetables in the root cellar and an occasional wild pheasant in the backyard that, with one shot from a .22 made it to the dinner table....  (true story - I have an amazing mother).  That was long before I came along.  </div><div style="text-align: center;">I am completely spoiled. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I live in a time and place where I have no need to pluck chickens, milk cows, dig potatoes (unless I want to), gather eggs or sew clothing for 9 children.  I can spend my days pouring over silks and chenilles, paint colors, lighting fixtures, and worrying over fireplace facades </div><div style="text-align: center;">and how deep the crown molding should be. <br /><br />I lived an entirely different childhood - full of foreign travel and culture. <br /><br />I can't even imagine that!<br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">For that I am very grateful.</div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">So, while I wait for the fridge to reach its optimal temperature - </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #990000; font-size: x-large;">Kitchens</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">and more specifically, </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Cabinets</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black;"><strong>THE WOOD TONES</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Wood cabinetry has withstood the test of time.  While cabinet styles may change, and wood tones vary in popularity, one thing that has remained constant is our love of  rich warm lustrous wood cabinets.  We clamored for oak grains in the 80's and pickled finishes in the 90's, but if you are still living with a dated kitchen you have a wide range of alternatives for change.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">Refinish</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Whether on your own or professionally - choosing a more current stain finish and new hardware will give your kitchen a new look .</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">Reface</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">New drawers and cabinet doors in the grain, color and style of your choice will give you a new kitchen for a budget price.  </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">Replace</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">New cabinets, custom or manufactured,  in the same configuration of your current cabinets.  New insides, new hinges, new hardware, higher quality. New look!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">Remodel</span> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Custom cabinetry should be designed to make the most of your storage space and often changes the configuration of your kitchen. This is the most expensive option, and may involve moving plumbing and electrical and installing new flooring to achieve the kitchen of your dreams.  </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">New cabinets have their advantages. You can select options such as:  </div><div style="text-align: center;">slide out shelves</div><div style="text-align: center;">pull out drawers</div><div style="text-align: center;">self closing drawers</div><div style="text-align: center;">lazy susans</div><div style="text-align: center;">spice pull outs</div><div style="text-align: center;">panels for appliances</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
