| i need to redo my kitchen (had a water issue with the unit above mine last year and had to take down a wall of cabinets).
but i don't know how to proceed. i have definite ideas, my kitchen has original 1910 panty/cabinets at one end. i want the rest of the kitchen to look like it was built at the same time, but with modern conveniences. i also know what my budget is, and that since i live in an old building, it is likely that there will be unforeseen issues. i worked with one designer whose design was 20% over my budget, even before we started. how do i find a designer willing to work within my budget? |

| First of all, is your budget realistic? Especially since you are wanting to work with/match existing components? You do realize that that is more expensive than going all new with a more budget oriented line, right? Where are you located and have you check out custom cabinet shops? You also will need the services of a licensed GC since you are in a multi family dwelling, so have you talked to any of those? That is actually where I'd start first, and then use their contacts for cabinet guys. |
