Building Our First House – Our Kitchen
Things at the house are slow moving while drywall is being done, so I decided to share a special kitchen post instead.
In terms of importance, I put the kitchen right near the top of the list. To me, the kitchen is the heart of the home, a gathering place. So my husband and I decided it was a part of the house that we were willing to add a few upgrades to. Our builders offer a few different kitchen designs (standard, deluxe, grand and gourmet). We went with the Grand Kitchen option, as it was a nice middle ground with our desired features. I will share all of the options that come with the Grand Kitchen package below.
We also decided to upgrade our granite one level, our faucet, stove top, and our cabinetry from oak to maple.
My husband and I also added a 2 foot extension onto the back of the house, which allowed us to have a larger island, and a small coffee nook area with extra cabinetry. As mentioned in a previous post, we opted to convert our 4th bedroom upstairs into a laundry room, so the original laundry will now be a larger walk-in pantry 🙂
