Last week, we broke down the full budget of the Fullmer kitchen–you can read about that right here. (You can see the full reveal right here) In the comments, there was a big request for a LOOK FOR LESS. The whole kitchen was full of splurge and save pieces, so we took the splurgiest items and found more budget-friendly alternatives.
BUDGET SOURCES:
1. Chandelier $484
2. Faucet $160
3. Cabinet knobs $41 for set of 12 ($3.50 per item)
4. Bin pulls $22 for set of 10 ($2.30 per item)
5. Sconce $99
6. Cabinet doors: Semihandmade X Chris Loves Julia Cove cabinet doors mixed with Semihandmade Supermatte White doors
7. Refrigerator $1,884
8. Range $1,884
9. Stools $148 for set of 2 ($74 per item)
10. Runner $99 (this is the one we used)
ORIGINAL SOURCES:
Stools $1,000 (the original stool is no longer sold, but it’s worth keeping an eye out on eBay if you want the same ones)
Runner $99
Hardware: Bin Pulls (4″),
Cabinet Knobs $800
Sconces $558
Chandelier $1,999
Faucet $924
Refrigerator $3629
Range $7299
Swapping the budget sources for the original ones would save approximately $11,445 total, or you could pick where you want to splurge a bit and save. I always recommend splurging on at least one thing you really love–it will help elevate your whole space!
I’m looking at the backsplash and it appears to be slightly grey in pictures? I’m confused because the link shows white. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!
The backsplash is really varied.
This is so helpful, I have every intention of getting the Fullmer kitchen for less with these links for the new house, I’m so pumped!
Love this! Did you happen to find tile in a lower price at all? Or something close?
The tile was $400 to do the entire backsplash which is a great price!
Olive that chandelier! We have a U shaped kitchen with an open peninsula and middle island. There are three hanging pendants over each one. I’d love to do one statement piece over the island, but don’t know if it would throw it off if they would be different? Do you have any thoughts about island and peninsula lighting?
Interesting! I think having two different lights would be cool!
Thank you for these sources!
I found the same chandelier for $399 + free shipping here:
