Thanks. I hope it all turns out. I can't visualize very well and I'm picking individual bits and pieces and trying to place them all in context.
In a couple weeks I'll be done all of my selections and will just be monitoring the construction. Maybe I'll scan the final blueprints too.

We switched out our old copper handles to a silver gray after upgrading our appliances.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

Look at refinishing the cabinets vs. replacing. The saving are substantial. Especially if the interior shelving is still in good shape. Counter tops, just bite the bullet and replace with granite. Yes do the floor. We were trying to save money so we used a laminate that had a marble type pattern which has proven very durable and the pattern makes it hard to tell how dirty the floor is.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit.

Agreed, but I'm one of those that really likes the look. Over the last 10 years we've gotten around to upgrading everything in the kitchen. Stainless all the way. Keeping it clean is a pain but worth it.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

There are only three major appliances in most kitchens the stove, dishwasher, and refridgerator so it's not like it's super expensive to upgrade especially given that the power company offers nice rebates and over their life the energy and water savings from the more efficient energy star appliances help pay for them. We shopped around a great deal buying on sale and taking discounted floor models where possible so my dishwasher was less then $500, the stove ~800 (it's a nice convection oven with automatic everything and a sealed range top for easy cleaning), and the fridge was a steal at ~$900 (regularly ~$1600). We both want to get stainless front loading washer and dryer units but that will have to wait.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

The range alone was $3400 (we got it for 2500 w/ builder pricing).
The dishwasher was ~$700 with the discount ($1000 MSRP), a Bosch Evolution 500Ultra quiet.

Yes, we are highly likely going with quartz countertops also (in kitchen & all the bathrooms). They look great, very durable, and require no maintenance (unlike granite...)"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I took the credit instead of the builder option appliances, because I didn't like them.
My appliances cost more because I've higher standards than you. Dual fuel ranges aren't cheap..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
