do you desire the most? What appliances need to be in it? Does it
need to be large? What about storage? Do you like your kitchen now?

Ideal kitchen for me is one with space for two people working in it, lot of storage space, very good lightning, and a bottle of wine. I had a U type one, was great. The present one is too small (can't work two in it without fighting), it is a laboratory type (a counter between kitchen and dining room). The next one will be BIG, with alogene lightning, and lot of storage space.

How big? How many square feet? Have you made a floor plan yet?

My present kitchen is 70 square foot. The next one mesure 78 sq.foot. If I can add 4' it will be 114 sq.foot. That would be confortable.I didn't make floor plan yeat cause it's all speculation for now and. But when we'll stop or idea on a model, for shure I'll make some plan (I'm using Sketch, a small Autocad brother). I don't remember if I wrote it, but all what I'll do (contract) for this year is the fondations, exterior walls, roof, windows and doors and exterior covering. I have to finish the exterior
look inside of one year, it's a municipal regulation. Then, I'll finish by myself the inside at the speed I want with the money I'll have.

I have tiles in my kitchen. Love that.

You should be able to resand. but not with a ribbon sander. Maby a orbital one could do the job, (a big job) but I'm not sure.

My friend Lakshmi, a remodeler, is coming out to assess the whole
situation here, I'll have a lot better idea when she comes out.

am trying to determine the purpose of blocking in the space above my cabinets.
Have taken down one of the pieces of sheet rock, but can't determine if my
cabinets will fall down if I remove all of it. (You know, to have a shelf above the
cabinets to display stuff like my tins)

I have that in my kitchen, I find all kinds of uses for those spaces above
the cabinets. Wouldn't think of blocking off any useful space.

What I really want to do is to install some recessed lighting up there and among
the tins, put some of my plants. Took a look-see at it again today and really
couldn't tell if the sheetrock closing in the space was part of the support system
for the cabinets. The house came with that space closed in, what a waste!

wolf, I doubt that it supports the cabinets as sheet rock is typically not used to support a great weight of anykind. Sounds like a fun project. Good Luck!

Check to see if there are any studs under the sheetrock and consult with a
carpenter or builder first.

You see, there are 2X4s in place, but they look like they're more for holding up
the sheet rock. The whole idea is to avoid having to hire a carpenter. Maybe
I should read those time self-help books i paid so much for *giggle*. Thanks,
though.

Are they flush with the front edge of the cabinets?
And, what kind of supports, if any, are underneath?

My bulkhead has sliding doors which conceal all those wedding gifts which are gathering dust: ice bucket, corn popper, juicer, fondue set, dutch oven, wok...
I desperately need a new floor. My girlfriend got a Pergo wooden laminate floor around Christmas, and it looks fantastic. I'm seriously considering this option because I'm so sick of vinyl and ceramic seems so slippery and unforgiving.
