Using the project matrix as a guide, we reviewed some images of products that I had gathered, starting with the kitchen. It seems like the main question for the project comes down to this. Assuming the kitchen cabinets are the big ticket item (both in terms of schedule and budget,) should we put all our time and money into the cabinets and refrain from making major changes in the rest of the kitchen and the main living spaces? Or, should we try to save money on the cabinets in order to afford basic accents throughout both the kitchen and the living spaces?
Here is a photo of a friend's recently installed Ikea cabinets. It actually fits with the the look that my clients are interested in. A light-reflecting, off-white with a simple profile. After some analysis, my clients are I decided to give the Ikea option a try (but still leave the custom option open as construction costs permit.)
