Kitchen

Kitchen is where my mom spends 4-5 hours minimum every day (out of interest rather than being forced to). So, it was apparent from beginning that we will get a good functional kitchen done. So, Kavya and mom started going to modular kitchen showrooms in Bangalore in Jan. There are hundreds of them in Bangalore alone. So, they picked a few known brands and visited their branches. Overall, only Olive Kitchen in Koromangala impressed them. Meanwhile , Kavya’s cousin suggested a friend of his who manufactures and supplies modular kitchen doors etc. This guy also does end to end kitchen installations. So, we went to Mindtree Creations office in Girinagar. They were very professional in their approach, had very good understanding of kitchens and seemed reasonable in cost. After visiting a couple of houses where their kitchens were installed , we finalized Mindtree Creations for kitchen execution. They visited our site multiple times to take measurements etc. After multiple revisions to the kitchen design, my mom finalized a design that was estimated at Rs.3 laks. This includes everything – all the fittings, the cabinets, granite counter, chimney, sink, and labour. Now, we just need to wait for flooring to be finished. Once that’s done, these guys will manufacture the doors etc. That takes a week and another week for fitting. We plan to do the fitting much later , along with other wood work. I had initially budgeted 2 laks for kitchen but its fine. Like everything else, this has also overshot budget 🙂
