Killearn Lakes, Tallahassee, FL

Final Project Cost: $70,275

Project Details

One of my favorite kitchens this year. The homeowners had a very strong color palette in mind as well as some solid ideas for the overall plan, a modern farmhouse kitchen. The project evolved some over the course of our design meetings including the addition of the customer transom which, along with the arabesque tile wall, became a focal point of the kitchen.

Project Costs

Good Better Best Budget: $57,899

During our original design and budget consult the homeowners were considering keeping the wall between the kitchen and dining room. After some discussion however we decided that removing that wall would make the kitchen feel larger and bring a lot more natural light into the kitchen.

Final Contract Price:  $69,733.18

The final contract price increased about 17% from the original budget mostly due to some add on’s by the homeowners. They decided to have us remove a window and install a set of french doors, add a large window the to the dining room and build a custom transom to provide some separation between the kitchen and dining room (a wonderful focal point for the whole project).

Change Orders: $542

There were two change orders on the project. One was a zero cost change to the drywall texture. The other was to relocate an HVAC vent at the homeowners request.

Final Project Costs: $70,275.18
