With our closing right around the corner (Monday September 14th) we've been finding out just how expensive our tastes are. We checked out countertops and learned that our favorite material costs over $170/sq. ft.. (As a price reference, "standard" granite costs a mere $40/sq.ft.) After visiting 5 additional countertop stores we found two options with comparable design characteristics as our ultimate first choice. Both top two options are a good $100+ less than our "ultimate" first choice, with the current first choice looking quite similar to the "ultimate" option 1. Our final decision will be based on the cost of the countertops following a visit from our knowledgeable Ikea kitchen designer, who will take measurements of our empty kitchen and advise us on the best cabinet design layout.
With the countertop decision narrowed down we perused kitchen sinks, and kitchen faucets. The kitchen faucet I like the most just so happened to, lack a price at Home Depot, not be listed on their site and is listed on selective faucet web sites for a smidge over $500. Baby has expensive tastes. Our search continues for a reasonable, but spicy sink faucet option.
Fortunately when it comes to sinks, our tastes are pretty reasonable. Our first purchase for our kitchen, and only purchase of the weekend was an awesome new undermount, blank granite-composite sink. Not too sure what granite-composite really stands for, but it looks great and gets great reviews.
Despite not actually having the keys in our hands, our little house is ever so slightly taking shape. Stay posted!
