need to rethink some stuff or budget

I'm in a similar situation with you on my resale flat. We've seen many people get so much done with such a budget and yet everyone quoted sky high! An uncle of mine was saying, it could be because labor cost went up and sand $ went up as well. We are narrowing down our quote and ID and good luck to you too!

Kitchen 3d second & third draft

Help! Which combo is nicer? I intend to keep the blue/green backsplash.

First pic is drafter used wrong code for laminate and it is a brown kitchen.

Sexond pic is the correct laminate code for a greyish kitchen.

Btw, the kitchen tile is as below but id say drafter cant get it to show like tt in 3d.

So confused.. 

The brown kitchen looks more cozy to me but it looks abit dated? 

Grey kitchen looks abit cool/cold to me.. 

What u guys think?

id did give some input, but left the final laminate choice to us to input into 3d to see if our choice is ok or not..so far our choices doesn't seem to please us.. :wacko:

8 ids! wow.. u are very dedicated! i meet 6 and was dead tired.. unfortunately with budget, you need to see what are the things u need vs things you want.
