![]() I could not find white offered in the appliances I needed and the few I saw were different whites among brands (delivery time also was months, if it showed up at all). You pretty much had stainless, black stainless, or sometimes black. My work began July 2021 (and also included the master bath, where we'd found out the old shower had been leaking behind the wall), and did not "complete" until mid-Dec (Sept was planned, but 2 months was an insurance delay, the other month due to shipping delays).ĭuring 2021, compared to 2020, white appliances essentially vanished (which is what I wanted). ![]() There were many who ended up remodeling (or replacing what they had, but still needed materials) in Texas for this single event alone, also due to burst pipes. I was basically forced to remodel due to a burst pipe thanks the Feb 2021 Texas winter storm. We’ll also replace some of the appliances as they, too, are mostly original & while they still work well they’re coming to the end of their useful life. It’s also the main door to our covered porch and yard so we need a more durable, weather-proof material add in-floor heating in the keeping room as it’s dominated by windows and can get quite chilly in the dead of a Canadian winter. We will also do the floors: likely in a wood-look porcelain plank, running it from the foyer, hall, powder room and laundry room into the kitchen & replacing the hardwood in the keeping room as it’s badly beaten up with things being dropped on it. Backsplash is a definite just not sure what material yet. We love the two-tone Corian counters: a thick slab, lightly speckled black top and bottom sandwiching a creamy speckled beige which beautifully matches the cabinet colour and may choose to replace only a few sections if they can’t be refreshed sufficiently. The rest of the cabinets will be resprayed & reglazed. Frequent use has slightly warped the ones under the sink & one shows an annoying flaw in the middle of the door. No plans to change much of anything except a few of the cabinet doors. We’ll be working with the same company who did the original installation, grateful they’re still in business. We are planning a refresh of our 22 year old traditional but still beautiful custom kitchen.

When it comes to opening up a kitchen to the outdoors, 18% reported making their kitchen more open in 2021, compared with 20% in 2020.Īnecdotally, this shift in attitude toward openness reflects what some homeowners have been saying throughout the pandemic: that when multiple family members are at home, the need for separation becomes more important.
