I'm trying to decide what to do in my kitchen. It's very important to me what this room looks like and how it functions because I spend a lot of time in there. And it's important for resale. And I like a pretty kitchens. We are really trying to build this house on a budget (for real!), so I went from IKEA cabinets to semi-custom Kraftmaid cabinets to stock cabinets from Lowe's. It's a huge jump but I think Chip and I can make the stock cabinets look nice. Since we're saving on the cabinets, we'll probably end up doing granite counter tops. I'm hoping for a snow white granite with black painted cabinets. I think I'll also add a couple of white IKEA specialty cabinets. I'm doing butcher block on the island so I can cut my veggies, etc.
Speaking of, I saw a compost bin in a magazine that's built into the counter top. We've never composted before but it sounds like a good idea. Maybe I'll look into that a little...
We're also working on getting some decent plans printed so we can send them out to trades to get estimates - HVAC, plumbing, electrical, slab, framers, roofers and painters.
I like the modern look of this.
