We went to see a kitchen designer yesterday about our kitchen. Neither Miles nor I was happy with the way the kitchen came out on Jon's design, but he said that usually a kitchen designer does the detail work anyway.
The guy we met with yesterday was pretty good and gave us some other options which are much better than how we had it before. I'm still concerned about where the refrigerator and the vent hood are going to be, but I think mostly it's because I really have a hard time visualizing what the end product will look like. The designer has a 3-D program that he can share once the design is finished so at least we have a concept of what it will look like.
When we got home, Miles said he had some concerns about the quality of the work. Some of the displays in their showroom weren't built that well. I guess we can ask if the same team that did their showroom does the actual products they install in people's homes. Maybe we should go see the other kitchen place as well to get some comparisons on quality.

Hi there.
It sounds as if the house is moving forward. That's great.
About Miles assessment of some of the displays - he is quite right. I know one of the displays he was looking at wasn't finished. The door & drawer adjustments are among the final things. Also - we always use our showroom as a guinea pig to try out prospective installers. Miles does have a good eye. It is also true that even the best of cabinets can be installed poorly.
Since we last met, I've updated the designs and can meet with you whenever you're ready.
Until then,
Cheers!
