That's where they get you - the small stuff! I wanted 4 SAMLL corbels, and they were $500 a piece!! I went over budget on the kitchen cabinets by $7500.

tinker 2006,
WOW! $500 for a corbel. I love corbels but they didn't blend with our design, I guess that saved me. Is your kitchen finished?
Thanks, Crystal

opps, crystal, I replied in your other thread. :)

yes - the moldings, decorative feet, etc are all outrageously priced. Depending on how comfortable you feel about DIY and matching colors, see if you can buy a quart of stain from your cabinet company to match your cabinets - and buy unfinished molding at your local lumber yard and finish it yourself. You could save a ton if you are comfortable you will get the look you want

Thanks, for all the suggestions. It looks like these add ons really get you. Berryberry, I would be willing to give that a try but my DH isn't game, he thinks there is noway we can match the glaze. I think I will run this by him with the cherry stained molding around the bottom of the island, that was an additional $1000, the cherry is not glazed, only stained.

I really hope I love this kitchen when I am done. :)
Thanks, Crystal

buffetgirl,

Thanks! Guess Dh was right when he said he didn't think we could duplicate that glaze. On a postive note, I am so excited I have chosen that finish. After seeing your kitchen I KNOW I want the Amaretto over the Toasted Almond.
Thanks again, Crystal
