Yesterday we visited the Aiken Lowe’s to see what kind of kitchen cabinet displays they had setup. We also wanted to get some ideas about counter tops and floor tiles to coordinate with our already selected back splash tile.
So the first order of business was to head to flooring and pick up an example of the back splash tile we feel in love with at the Lowe’s in North Augusta. When we found it, it looked dull and lifeless, then I peeled off the plastic wrapper and the look dramatically improved. It was like they were two different sets of tiles.
Over to the Kitchen Cabinet area and maybe the third display we see, we both go, “That’s it.” We found what we wanted & liked. All of our cabinet questions were answered. Style: Breckenridge, check. Wood: Maple, check. Finish: Spice, check. Hardware: Satin Nickel Flat Pull, got it. We even liked the counter top, it was something quartz, might have been this or something close to it. The whole setup even looked nice with the bare concrete store floor leading us to pick out some gray tile with brown accenting.
The only fly in the ointment was our favored back splash choice looked way out of place in this setup. The standard 4″ counter top material back splash looked just fine. So I walked over to the shelf where we had found it and put it back on top. About three steps away I heard a crash behind me. The tile had slid right off the shelf and self destructed on the floor, I kept on walking.
Today when I called the cabinet designer at the North Augusta Lowe’s to set up our follow up appointment I was excited to let him know we had picked the cabinets we wanted. When I told him what the style was he said, “The flat front drawers in that style are also available in a 5 piece option. Plus this month, you can get the premium Coffee Glaze as a no-cost option.”
Will the choices never stop?
