@Mik This sounds lovely. Great price too. I’m 100% on board with the single sink too. I’m having to make some decisions on a kitchen too. I’m just wanting to foresee 10 yrs or so into the future for resale reasons. I don’t want to spend very much money.

I have no context, but you can guess.
Don't hire these guys.

I do use a double for wash/rinse, but I would like to have a larger sink than I have.
Enjoy the new cabinets and countertops. I'm sure they'll turn out great.

Continuing today. Six bags of trash so far. Amazing.

It's weird to see all the stuff at the back of the cabinets that you haven't seen or used for years. Wine glasses and champagne flutes galore, travel mugs, show mugs from various Broadway musicals. Long dead canned goods and baking supplies.
Now if I can only keep my beloved from continuing to buy all this stuff....

10 bags? For such a small kitchen you sure do have a lot of stuff. Or are the bags small?

13 gallon bags, so medium. 32 years of stuff, yeah. We’re being pretty ruthless about pitching stuff. If we don’t use it at least once a year it’s gone.

It’s those bulging cans of tomato sauce that scare me. I’ve a “special” tub of mugs I’ll regift back to my kid hahaha.

Yeah, Janet used to sell canned tomato products so she’s keenly aware of expiration dates. We have a pantry cabinet that’s so deep that it becomes the canned goods graveyard. After this week we will have slide out shelve so access to everything.

Our present (2006) pantry setup has a 72” high single cupboard with one middle stationary shelf and the rest sliders. I really like the sliders for pasta, cereals, packaged stuff. I sure hope the sliders in my new pantry cupboard are made more sturdy because I always defaulted to putting the cans on that middle stationary shelf. It was the weight of multiple cans that made me nervous.

Years ago, my spouse just put the first cut in the top of a can of tomato paste. It was explosive with tomato paste all over the kitchen - every cabinet, windows, ceiling - all over each of us. It was amazing how much devestation from such a small incision.

The scare factor would still be better than the clean up.

BTW why did you choose quartz?

Looks and toughness. Easier to clean, won't stain. Only thing I have to be careful about is not putting hot pans down on it. I could do that with granite.
This is what we picked - Aspen Gray
