14. Kitchen Additional Comments
Opinions: "Happy with the flow. Love base drawers for pots and pans. Cabinets very easy to clean. Color choices lend to a calm feeling. We have limited space and tried to cram in a lot of features. Would have sacrificed smaller upper cabinet and lower pantry pullout to allow for super Susan below instead of blind corner cabinet. Corner upper easy reach could have been larger.
Soapstone is a dream though currently having issues with water spots. Plan to touch base with fabricator to work this out. Would not have chosen a different material even if I had known this beforehand. Just love the softness to the touch and vintage feeling it gives to the whole space. "
Kitchen Cost:
- Cabinets-$12,000
- Soapstone-$4,900
- GC-$42,000 (includes wood floor, UCL, recessed lighting)
- Appliances-$6800
- Backsplash tile-$437
- Faucet-$415
- Pulls/knobs-$250
- Disposal-$200
- Air switch-$56
