After having some lunch, it was time for our final appointment for the day. Earlier in the morning, we were pumped and excited but by the end of the day, we were exhausted!

We were introduced to Mary Ann, who was new (she started about a month ago). She was very quiet so I felt awkward because we were so loud!

Anyway, my initial budget for the kitchen was $7000. But after our appointments in the morning, I dropped our budget down to $5000 so I was hoping we were able to stick to it!

There were a few things that I wanted which were waterfall edges to both sides of the kitchen island (20mm was fine with me!), and handless cupboards. Everything else that would come up would be an extra 'want'!

Mary Ann advised that for the initial consultation, that you put everything that you want, and then slowly remove your upgrades. We ended up going through 5 variations haha! I don't know if that's a lot, but it felt like a lot to me! The good thing about Kitchen Culture is that you can get most pricing for things on the day so that helped with removing items later on that night!

We ended up with the following:
Tender Items:

• 800mm wide kitchen benchtop with 200mm overhand or 900mm wide kitchen benchtop including 300mm overhang (house specific) - (I don't know how they determined this, but we only had the 800mm x 200mm benchtop. I asked why this was and Mary Ann couldn't answer)!: Included
• Portrait style overhead cupboards either side of rangehood in lieu of standard kitchen windows (where applicable): Included
• Eden Brae's Best Ever kitchen, ensuite and bathroom: Included
