Overwhelming Cabinetry

While it’s not a slam-dunk, it’s entirely possible that my wife and I will move into the “home ownership” circle this year.

One of the things we wanted to do was get an idea of how much “real” home improvement costs. That means for instance, new kitchen cabinets and countertops. So I headed over to my local Lowe’s Depot of Home Ace Hardware to browse their selection. Sure, I’d walked by the Kitchen and Bath departments before but now… wow.

There were dozens of colors and designs from just one brand. And then, I found five (!) more brand displays, each in turn with dozens more colors and designs. All told, I’m sure there were well over 300 styles and colors of cabinets. And that was just cabinetry!

It really is amazing and overwhelming. We’ve come a long way from metal yellow cabinets.

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
