Your Kitchen Refresh

The kitchen is one of the most common sources of frustration for homeowners, with too little storage, too little space, a poorly designed layout, and dated or worn finishes topping the list.

When dreaming up your kitchen remodel, consider your family's specific needs, not what magazines and home design websites say that you need. Would you benefit from the extra storage and workspace of a butler's pantry? What about a double island? Think about how many household members are usually using the kitchen at once, how often you entertain guests or host holidays, and what kind and how much seating your family requires.

Consider your family's lifestyle and discuss this thoroughly with your designer. By covering all your bases during the design phase (storage, cooking habits, visitor frequency, needed prep space, equipment needs, and daily routines) you will avoid having regrets about what could have been and get the kitchen remodel that suits you and your family perfectly.
