Kitchen Regrets

As I mentioned in this post our kitchen remodel had to be completed in a hurry and it isn't exactly all that it could be, if I had had more time to think about things. My boyfriend initially wanted a black, glossy, granite floor but I made him compromise on a different black tile that wasn't such a slip hazard. In hindsight even he realizes a black floor wasn't the best idea, it isn't very forgiving in terms of hiding dirt and husky hair tumbleweeds. The rest of the kitchen was chosen to go with the floor; white cabinets, black/gray granite.

I wish that we had knocked down the wall to make the kitchen open to the dining room and transferred the cabinets to the opposite wall. This isn't a forever house so who knows if we will ever gut it again, but I use sketchup to fulfill my fantasies and have the ideal kitchen all sketched out.
