My kitchen designer came back with this fabulous new design for my kitchen. (Thank you Peter, from PHC Kitchens.) It solves all my storage and counterspace issues and I love how the new design is so open. All in all, he did exactly what I asked him to do. Unfortunately, the estimate for how much it would cost to actually implement this design is well over my budget. So now I have some decisions to make. Where do I cut back? We were going to completely gut the kitchen and start over. Do I cut back on the construction costs? Do I scrimp on materials? Do I forgo the island? Tell me what you think.
