[quote=Anonymous]OP here. This is super helpful. Living through a kitchen reno with an infant sounds fun (sarcasm) but I get that might need to happen. My parents live close by, we could crash with them if the reno isn't done before our proposed move in, and the sellers are super accommodating, and have offered us the house whenever we need for walkthroughs. I get the argument to wait until we've lived in it, but living through the full reno in the house sounds awful.

A related question - is it necessary to work with a kitchen designer or will a contractor be able to map out a kitchen that matches our lifestyle? We have a young family, and I really want to emphasize function in the new layout. I feel like most of what I've seen from contractors so far is sort of a "one size fits all" approach to where things go and especially when it comes to cabinets and what goes where. My husband's BIL is an architect and of course said "start with an architect or kitchen specialist" but not sure whether that's truly necessary. [/quote]
