[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s been years ago but we used Lowe’s kitchen designer for layout. She did a great job and tho go t of lots of things I wouldn’t have. Pulls out on every cabinet and built in pantry with pull outs. Also our neighbor used HD and had every bell and whistle. Beautiful. Of course our homes only cost $900+. I found kitchen designers overpriced and their cabinets very expensive. It’s been 11 years and they look great. [/quote]

We did this too - three years ago and still love it.  We did hire a kitchen designer and structural engineer for initial layout and design and then after we settled on a layout I liked, bought the blueprints and we took the them to Lowes and their designer to help us finalize cabinetry and materials and helped us find a good contractor.  I did the finish selections/color myself using ideabooks on Houzz that I had saved over the years.  Lowes was flexible in where we bought materials - while I bought cabinets from them (Schuler solid maple), I was able to get the flooring and copper sinks I wanted elsewhere and I bought my Thermadore package from an appliance store.   I think we saved probably around 75K from what the KD had quoted us had we used his design/build, and I would put my kitchen up against any Instagram model on the internet.  [/quote]
