To get an idea of how much we’d spend during the renovation, we listed all of our desired changes, from our must-have appliances to our wish list of finishing touches.
Our sights were set on a white cast-iron farmhouse sink, a high-end refrigerator, a custom farm table, and the quietest dishwasher we could find.
Of course, the project required more than just filling up our shopping cart. To create the open floor plan we designed, we had to take down several walls, including one that was load-bearing. We also added new windows and glass farmhouse doors to bring more natural sunlight into the space.
Other major expenses to plan for included electrical work, plumbing, insulation, drywall, flooring, kitchen cabinetry, hardware, countertops, a stove, and eventually new furniture.
Making so many decisions at once felt overwhelming, but we were determined to keep our three-month timeline on track and stick to our budget.
