Our builder called me last week to say that the custom cabinet quote was coming in too high and that we were going to have to go with Ikea- which was our desire from the beginning. We have our budget meeting in two days so I dropped the girls off with my mom and spent the next four hours in Ikea.
When you go to Ikea to plan a kitchen, they set you down on a nice little stool and you use their software to design the whole thing. Luckily I had the dimensions with me!
The total came to $4,800 which was much less than the $17,000 quoted by the custom guy.
Our kitchen will be white, with grey/white counter tops.
Here were our inspiration photos:
