There was a big sale on at the local furinture store but when I discovered that for almost the same price as the top of their range, I could have a contemporary fitted kitchens, I decided that I would get one of those instead.  My kitchen is not very big, but as a family we spend a lot of time in it and eat at the table every meal.  It had not been done since we moved in 4 years ago and we decided that it really did need a bit of a makeover.  I think it will look great when it is finished.
