With our excitement at a fever-pitch over the stunning kitchen we had discussed the previous weekend, our designer showed up and went through the plan. He had a proposal ready - 1/3 due upon execution, 1/3 at the half-way point and the balance upon completion and acceptance. The shocker... the cost was double our budget and was going to take 7 to 8 weeks to complete! So much for the 'ballpark' figure...
We looked at each other as the new kitchen dream went up in smoke and said we had to think about it and excused ourselves. The deflation from such elation was bitter, but I was determined to remodel the kitchen. I told Carolyn to get her coat as I would show her how I was going to do it and stay in budget...
