Decorating Dilemma: 

Thank you so much for writing in. First, this space has so much potential. Between the incredible ceiling height, the daylight streaming in and the great beams, what a beautiful space. Ashley feels like with all the space, it can also be more functional than it is. Our first choice would be following your friend's guidance and doing it all at one time, but if you wanted to stick with your budget, we would first paint the upper cabinets, and maybe even get rid of the whole shelving unit about the kitchen sink. This would give yourself some breathing room. We are sorry to your husband but do think the wood has to go. Or, if you could save up for a gut job, this would be a complete 180 and we think you would be pleasantly surprised! Good luck and keep us posted.
