This remodel is exciting for several reasons, but a bit of a scare as well. There are only two things we have not rebuilt in this house; replacing 2 windows and remodeling the kitchen. We upgraded the kitchen, but did not replace the cupboards. Now that is necessary. We would not have done this without 'needing' to. They are perfectly good cupboards.
Parkinson's Disease seems to have a mind of it's own. No matter how much you 'want' something to work, the mind places it's own restrictions on you. Russ is amazing! He is dealing with this new life path with unbelievable grace. But amazing grace doesn't seem to help in small spaces, with dark wall/cupboard colors, or with balance. Falls are more frequent (he took a big one last night) and the kitchen is a true stumbling block for him.
In thinking about our options, we decided a redesign of our kitchen was a priority. And it's happening! The cupboards arrive on the 20th and construction will begin on the 23rd…assuming all the cupboards come in good shape. So far the ordering experience has been smooth.
