Ikea can wait
I had a communication with certainly one of my capability kitchen clients this week and he or she asked me why she should not simply go buy a hard and fast of kitchen cabinetry from Ikea for $5000 as opposed to what I turned into offering for extra than 5 instances that amount. "What's the difference" she wanted to recognize. What's the distinction indeed.
Good cabinetry is highly-priced, I'm not going to child everybody. But reasonably-priced cabinetry is highly-priced too. It's luxurious in that it desires to be replaced extra regularly than the good stuff. A properly-designed set of good kitchen shelves ought to remaining you a life time. A set from Ikea will remaining you five years.
If you have a rental or a vacation home, cheap stuff's great. If we're talking about your primary home, be careful before you run down to the big blue and yellow box. The next time you're looking at a kitchen cabinetry display, open the drawers. Swing the doors, kick the tires. Talk to someone who understands what makes good cabinetry good and have him or her explain the difference to you. Keep in mind that everybody has an opinion and learn to tell the difference between a sales pitch and a genuine exchange of information.
Sometimes, all you can have enough money is the reasonably-priced stuff and that's OK. Buy the cheap stuff and make it look as extremely good as you can. Just don't child your self.
Here's me status in an Ikea kitchen in Italy. I'm glad no longer because of the cheesy cabinetry it really is surrounding me. Rather I'm in a notable temper because of what I can see thru that window.
Here's the view that had me grinning. Listen, if when you appearance out your kitchen window you could see the Sorrentine Peninsula as it drops into the Bay of Naples like this, ignore the whole lot I simply wrote approximately shopping for top stuff. You existence does not need to be better any further than it already is. But if you're like maximum human beings, study some thing apart from rate tags earlier than you are making a prime purchase.
