and countertops. Let's get some design flair and excitement in your

coveted 'gasp' of excitement each time your visitors return. Lets get
serious, the contented joy you will feel each time you walk into your
kitchen is your end desire. It's your domain, so make it yours.
Good Design is a Great Place to Start in Your Kitchen
Even though money might not be an issue, it is best practice to set an investment range to stay within. In a remodel there are many elements to consider. Adding or removing walls can be considered. Are you going to completely alter the existing kitchen space or leave your major components such as appliances in place? In new construction it is always best to design your cabinetry needs prior to walls. In this way we can tell your builder precisely where you need the walls going up..
Bells and Whistles
There is so much fun
looking at and specifying all the accessories, cabinetry and
countertops. What is important to each person varies as the shape of
snowflakes vary. Start early with your lists. Are you baking a lot and
need an oven with convection? Hate pre-washing your dishes and want a
highly efficient dishwasher? You might choose a three bowl sink in
your cleanup area. Prep sinks are a great option as well. Be sure you
don't go to small. A small notebook with sleeves/pockets is a great
way to organize your thoughts and lists. Magazines and books are very
helpful too. Be sure to write a note on each page you mark. It has
been to often our clients cannot remember why a page is marked. The
options are much more than there is room in this blog to post. So get started sooner than later.
Island Ideas in a Large Kitchen
- Work stations might require
extra appliances. You might have two or three sinks in your kitchen.
Prep, clean-up, bar etc.
- Island seating could be
aligned in different areas of the kitchen.
- Materials for your countertops
come in various sizes. Be sure to consider the size restrictions of
your choice before moving forward.
- Be sure to take to heart the
recommendations of your designer, you really do not want a ping pong
sized island in your kitchen.
- A jog in your cabinetry height
can do two jobs. Add flair and interest to your kitchen and allow
you the choice of materials you desire.
