choosing kitchen units

treecreeper

my sister has had a major job done on her place but she is not flush by any stretch of imagination. her architect now asks her to chose the kitchen units almost immediately as in less than 48hrs and chose only four types of door panels from ONE outlet.
surely this cannot be right.
tell me, how do you literally shop around and where would sis get a bargain without somone continually hiking up the payment as the job went along, as in carpenter etc, all the best, my sis is a quiet wee woman and hate to see this happen, all advice gratefully received.:)

try the panel centre in santry she will see all diffo types of kitchen set up, thats how i picked mine, they are wholesalers too so her builder can get stuff there, all kitchen and wardrobe fitters, should be able to give her a price all in

also my other half fits kitchens for a living, he prices one price at the start n thats it, shouldnt be big extras unless she asks for them imo, maybe a tiller, if youve any questions r arnt sure about anything pm me n ill check it with the hubby, at least youll know shes not ben ripped off that way

Hi - I recently painted my kitchen using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. Its really easy with no prep work and looks great. Lots of shades to choose from - I used Paris Grey.

You can purchase the paint from Upside design in Dalkey http://www.upside.ie/
