We also got granite countertops. It took us forever to finally agree on a slab of granite that we all liked and Katherine ended up being the final deciding vote. So, the granite guys didn't cut the granite straight so we had to put granite in our backsplash. It wasn't just the cost of it, but the fact that I really loved the back splash we had. After talking to a few friends, they said we should have made them redo it, but I'm not so sure they would have done it anyways.
We also rebuilt our pantry with 2 doors instead of one and pull-out shelving. The problem was, it had a hidden waterline, which had to be moved ($750) in order to move the door.
Then we decided to add a ceiling fan/light which also involved hiring an electrician. He did a great job (no complaints there) and he also installed outlets in the basement workshop.
All in all, it took over 3 months of the kitchen being torn up and most of the entryway and family room. I was so ready for it all to be over! Plus, it cost us nearly double what we planned on it costing! We're happy with the changes, but not ready for remodeling again for a very long time!
