She has sent me three designs. Suzi tells me that each design is trying to show different layouts, cabinet heights, window placements, appliance options, etc. Each option will have a floor plan with the basic details and perspective views. She couldn't get everything I wanted in each plan but as we move forward we can figure out what's most important and needs to stay and what can go. She didn't include the fireplace/pizza oven as they take up a lot of room and require lots of clearance (not to mention the pizza ovens are rather pricey).
She suggested we make a few copies and write all over them - what parts we liked, what parts we could do without, what appliances are a must and which may go, etc. The plan was to mingle her ideas together and over time to come up with the perfect plan. It was a starting point. She cautioned me that if we tried to take to cabinets up to our 13 foot ceilings that we were going to be looking at a lot of money. The most expensive part of a cabinet is the door, so the more doors, the higher the price. And with 13' ceilings it would require 3 doors as you go up, even if you do a large crown treatment.
So I took the plans everywhere with me. If I had a spare moment I was studying the plans. I did exactly what she suggested, looking at the parts I liked and didn't like and tried to mesh the plans together.
