Spending more money

.
It gets to be a habit about this time in construction. We bought the sinks for the master bathroom today and will be giving authorization for all the cabinets to be ordered tomorrow.
.
Cabinets are going to be Kraftmaid:

.
We are going with "Polarcrest" White Laminate <http://tinyurl.com/34qs4j> in the kitchen with a Wedgewood Glaze "Brookfield" <http://tinyurl.com/2umjud> island for a little contrast. The master bath cabinets and face frames, dining room buffet, and family room built-ins and window seat will be "Belmont" in Bisque Glaze <http://tinyurl.com/3aln5m>. Remaining cabinets and face frames (bath 2 and laundry) will also be "Belmont" but in the Honey Spice finish.
.
The only problem we had was that you cannot get a range hood in laminate through Kraftmaid, and other brand hoods you could order in laminate were at least twice as expensive. We are going to get a color-matched glossy white paint and paint an unfinished hood ourselves to try to match the laminate. The other option would be to get the hood in Wedgewood Glaze to match the island, but the better half didn't want to go that route.
.
Flooring will come soon as well (Classic Wilsonart Flooring in "Treasure Wood") <http://tinyurl.com/2upq7q>, along with linoleum in the bath areas and cedar flooring in the master closet.
.
Then it will be fans and light in the next week or two. The fun never ends!
