With the time and money to spare, you really should not be thinking about it anymore. You already should be remodeling your kitchen. Sure, you must be a bit concerned about all effort it's going to take, but the sooner you begin the sooner you can be through with it. So pull your resources and your people together, and be along with it already.
Kitchen remodeling is not just something you do; it is an art, like painting a Monet or, more appropriately, re-painting it. It's hard work doing it the first time, but even harder trying to recreate the magic. Make something new without losing the wonder that lies beneath. If you cannot think of it that way, you may never be able to do it right.
If you thought remodeling your kitchen wasn't really going to be an expensive practice, you were mistaken. You thought that because you were not really thinking of everything that it entailed, and so you are not really prepared to handle the nitty-gritty of it. I wish that you were, though. It would have saved you so much in unpleasant surprises. But I suppose you can't win them all, all of the time.
Remodeling your kitchen means mainly that you are trying to, first and foremost, replace all the top-of-the-line fittings, and appliances, and cabinets and others. Already, if you have a good mind's eye, you'll appreciate what all that was about. Now the idea is not to feel threatened by it, but to be prepared. At least, folks have been known to start and finish the same process real good. What's to say that you cannot?
