Started renovations on my condo this week. Kitchen, living room, dry bar, entryway, and common bathroom.

I don't even want to talk about the overall cost of this thing. I told my wife, its not so much the money being spent, but the fact that its a condo and the likelihood of recouping any of the cost in a sale is slim.

But, we just love the area and don't see us leaving for another decade.

Ill keep everyone posted on our contractor and let you know if recommended in future. He came recommended from our interior designer and seems like a good guy. Slow start, but that is due to the condo board dragging their feet on approval.

For new appliances, we ended up going mostly with Fisher & Paykel for the price and comparable. It was mostly between that and Bosch for most appliances. Prices were similar, and the internet seemed to rate them relatively the same; but the look of F&P won out for now. The price of integrated refrigerators is atrocious
