$30k for cabinets for the whole house was definitely not a healthy budget for a large custom home. I’m glad it all worked out for you in the end. Your home is beautiful.
Thank you. Oh yes now we know better, we get multiple people bid out the cabinets and price wise they are competitive. There was just a lot of miscommunication at the beginning
It sounds like two main things happened which is that 1) the builder included a base kitchen in his plan and didn't want to revise it so the price increase wouldn't look bad and 2) costs of materials have gone up so "Bruno" is baking that into this new price for you.
We agree. Both of those things are likely partially true. It was just a big shocker since we were building a plan we designed but some of those items got lost in translation 😳
How frustrating!! Especially because you didn't have an accurate estimate when you got your bank loan. And there is just no excuse for measuring wrong. Thanks for sharing this.
The end result of being thorough was a beautiful cabinet, indeed it was grace ,patience ,and having a vision . Well done guys 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 thanks for sharing your experience.
It may be helpful to actually reveal “Bruno’s” name and your builder’s name, to save other’s the headache. Also , please share the company that did your cabinets properly and timely. That would make this video even more helpful.
Your builder sounds like he did whatever he could to have your business. He's invested in building a base home for you, not really *your* home. That's what it sounds like.
First time subscriber, love your home and your videos, you and your husband give great advice on home buying and home decor, you all are just great all around. I wanted to know when selecting your appliances, how did you know what was best and currently how well do they work?
Thank you so much for watching our videos! Your feedback is refreshing! And most of all, welcome to the Famm! Truthfully when selecting our appliances we look at functionality and choose based on what meets our needs best. We also compare to some of the luxury appliance lines to see if there are looks or functions we really like that the lower priced brands also have. Another thing is some appliances are made by the same company….Frigidaire and Electrolux are the same company so I feel comfortable going with the cheaper Frigidaire if it’s better for our budget. We don’t have any issues with our appliances other than delays in getting them all due to Covid.
It sounds like Bruno didn't actually want to customize anything for you. He just wanted to give you a basic redetermined kitchen where they get a ton of profit.
That’s likely the simplest thing for them but unfortunately not how builders advertise them. We are actually waiting on Bruno to respond. We emailed them as they need to come straighten out some of the doors and it’s crickets 😂🤣
What a cabinet nightmare! Your patience is admirable. Your husband is comical. I enjoyed hearing your story. Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome and thank you for watching

Blake with Kentmore cabinets was the initial cabinet. Study & data center cabinets were done by Sanchez cabinets in Houston.
Wow! You both are super patient. Kudos to you. I don’t know if I could have handled it with such Grace. Kudos to you!
Thank you
Love this big comfy couch. 😍😍
Thank you. Yeah we’ve been waiting since November for them lol. We like the deep couch that can fit 2 cuddlers lol
@@JoyFamm I definitely want to add something like that around here somewhere!

May I please ask where you bought your pillows from? They are beautiful and I want them.
They are from our collection. And we are considering making them available if there’s enough interest. Thanks for noticing and asking about it
