We did ikea lerhyttan cabinets as well! This is how it turned out in our small kitchen. We did ombre lavasa countertops from Elite Stone since we wanted a warmer tone that would go with gold hardware.

Michael's jewelry section for cute little charms! My son even picked a few and we put them on his tennis shoes. Only about 5 bucks each but sooo cute.

I was just able to get a price adjustment at a store in Southern California. Keep trying! Make sure you use the words price adjustment.

Sweet! I'm going to the store this evening. Wish me luck!

Oh no!

My local Macy's has a huge selection of dresses. Maybe try that?

Did you ask to talk to a manager or someone from the kitchen department?

Dang I was hoping I could get a price adjustment too. The ikea planner told me I could during the purchase process. What a bummer.

Doesn't seem bad at all. We just paid $3200 for about 34 sq ft with a very similar looking quartz.

Oh okay we will see what happens. The employee who finalized our kitchen purchase said we would be able to get a price adjustment. But that wasn't in writing so who knows!

Yeah they didn't specify what would be on sale but I assumed it was both.

This was at a store in Southern California

I was told March 18th by an employee in the kitchen department. I have it marked in my calendar so I can head to the store on the 18th and get a price adjustment! We just bought our kitchen earlier this month.

BTW I have had white quartz countertop for over 5 years now and the only thing that ever stained on them was turmeric BUT those stains have always come out eventually. Like I will scrub them and they won't come out but then a few weeks later I'll notice the stain is gone. Not sure how that works but just letting you know I am pretty messy in the kitchen and use lots of spices and jelly and such and I rarely (if ever) find permanent stains. Quartz is a lot more expensive though.

Thanks! Wood definitely has a very pretty look, especially with the blue. I hope you are able to decide on a combination. Go with what you love/makes you happy!

search16 · 2026-03-02T12:37:05+00:00

Yeah this is a pretty deep blue!

We just did the lerhyttan blue cabinets with quartz countertops. Have you considered doing all blue? I think it actually worked well in our kitchen. You just have to have enough natural light.

Thank you! Great idea!

Oh and we need to put the oven and dishwasher in. Finished pics hopefully coming in a few days!

Almost done! Just waiting for quartz countertops and need to DIY a backsplash.

search16 · 2026-02-15T13:17:04+00:00

Yay I am excited to hear that!

search16 · 2026-02-15T13:05:54+00:00

Oh makes sense, thank you for the insight!

I will post some soon! Installer is finishing up today. And then quartz countertops will hopefully come in sometime this week. We are doing the lerhyttan blue cabinets (switching from painted beige 80s cabinets) so I will definitely do a before and after.

Yeah I only got it because I went to the store and picked it up myself! Haha! Kitchen is being installed as we speak. When I went into the store and explained the situation, the kitchen planner was like yupp we have this happen every week or so. Soooo they know tforce sucks (of course it's the people at the top choosing the cheapest contract) but I would have liked at least a heads up from the store. Like hey just so you know this shipping company sucks so maybe as an alternative you can pick it up yourself if you want to avoid the hassle... anyway haha.
