Or Kentucky, for that matter.
For less than the price of our remodel, we could have a house two or three times the size of ours, all sparkly brand new, with a pool and lots and lots of land. In Kentucky. Or North Carolina. Or a whole other host of places outside of New York.
We were seriously considering it. In fact, it’s not off the table entirely, but it’s not imminent.
We have come back down to earth though, and returned to square one. Where there were just two things we wanted: a new kitchen and a fourth bedroom. That’s what we’re going to have. No more designers, no more architects, no more grand plans.
Henrybuilt is redesigning the kitchen within the existing space, and our builder is going to close up David’s office and turn it into a bedroom. David, he can go work in his unused darkroom, which will now see the light of day.
It’s not so disappointing, probably because what we were imagining was so over the top, we couldn’t really see it happening and even if it did happen, we couldn’t really see ourselves living in it.
Stay tuned.
