RIT is counting down the days to the Innovation Festival. At Cornell we’re counting down days until the end of term. And at 15 Hampton Way, we’re counting down the days until we have a new kitchen.
It began with getting a new floor. And then we realized that the new floor would make the cabinets look worse. So we decided to upgrade the cabinets. Then the contractors suggested a number of great ideas. Suddenly closets were being knocked out, new doors are being planned, granite is being bought, etc. And with that, we crossed the final threshold: new appliances.
