Sticker Shock

Another hour in a Lowe’s shuffling cabinets around on a computer screen. We settle on a counter top, man-made quartz for the greatest heat resistance (because we are so used to plopping pots from the stove onto the current tile) and some floor tile ideas. Now we have some video game looking renderings and a price sheet.

I showed the guy how to copy the image file on his screen and paste it into an email, but the 2Meg file size exceeded the limit Lowe’s would let him send per message, so these are cell phone pictures of the computer screen. I adjusted the white balance and perspective as best I could to get them to look like I remember them looking like in the store.

The cost of just the cabinets, no installation, and counter top with installation came to 80% of our ideal budget and 60% of our max spending limit. Yikes!
