First, let me remind you what the unique plan was, after we did some tweaking to the ground plan. That is what the ultimate plan for the massive addition appeared like.

And behind that was a big bed room. This plan additionally had two decent-sized storage closets, one which was accessible from the bed room for Matt’s gear, and one accessible to the brand new household room the place I might have a coat closet and in addition retailer issues just like the ten chairs I’ve for our Wednesday gatherings. This plan additionally had a brand new laundry room and a extremely large household room.

Right here’s the road merchandise estimate I bought from the contractor for that smaller 970-square-foot addition with out the closets. (That is for these of you who just like the nitty gritty particulars. 😀 ):

After all, that’s not even the grand complete, as a result of on the estimate, I discover this notice on the backside:

The home-owner acknowledges that they’re accountable to offer all end fixtures/home equipment that aren’t particularly included above and are accountable to verify they’re on the challenge web site when wanted to keep away from schedule delays or further journey fees. This stuff are outdoors of the supplies scope of this estimate. End fixtures embrace: door locks and {hardware}, cupboard {hardware}, bogs, sinks, lights, ceiling followers, plumbing fixtures, rest room accent bars, mirrors, coat or organizing {hardware}, blinds, and many others.

You’ll discover that there was a laundry room on the plan, however no laundry room cupboards listed on the estimate. No countertop listed. So these issues could be as well as. I’d estimate that cupboards and counter tops for a laundry room that dimension could be round $8000 minimal.

Additionally not listed:

• Any sort of closet group system (I’d need PAX wardrobes)
• Any and all furnishings and ornamental gadgets.

I haven’t priced out particular furnishings and ornamental gadgets, however for the plan proven above, I’d want a headboard or mattress, two bedside tables, an space rug, draperies, window shades, lamps, ceiling fan, and different ornamental gadgets for the bed room. For the household room, I’d want two sofas, two chairs, a espresso desk or ottoman, finish tables, an space rug, lamps, draperies, bookcases or different “filler” furnishings, ornamental gadgets, lighting, and many others.

Estimating these issues with out having a particular design/adorning plan may be very difficult, however I’d think about that I might do the bed room for about $5000 (if I DIY some issues, clearly), and I might do the lounge for about $8000 (with extra DIYing).

Along with the addition 😀 , it was additionally the plan to redo the kitchen as soon as we completed the addition. It’s one thing I’ve talked about for some time now as a result of our present kitchen is small, inefficient, and was carried out on a really tight funds 10 years in the past. So the plan was (1) construct and end the addition, after which (2) transform the kitchen.

I’ve been pricing out IKEA cupboards for numerous future plans (as you already know as a result of I’ve shared them with you), and even holding the kitchen the place it’s, which was the plan with the massive addition, new cupboards would have been about $15,000. New counter tops would have been about $3000 minimal. New home equipment are about $8000 minimal (however in all probability extra, as a result of I need the matte white Cafe home equipment).
