PHASE 2 DESIGNING YOUR CABINETS (design retainer required)

Step 2: Select Appliances

Your homework is to select your appliances. Please keep in mind that all appliances must be selected before the kitchen layout can start.

Step 4: Revisions

Revisions can be made via email and/or showroom appointments until the design is finalized and materials confirmed. Timing: 1 week – 2 weeks.
