I also would like to know the entire cost. I do not see it on the website.

oh oh, i think this means they're over - and mine (CB2 knock-off) was on your site once, too! --

I had a light pink sofa once - it quickly got filthy - not from people but simply from the dust in air if I opened a window. It was impossible to keep clean. It was a disaster. Be forewarned.

This kitchen has perfectly fine bones. How about mid mod Tarkett sheet - are you up for the orange or blue flowers?:
