Tips for a Successful Kitchen Remodeling Project by Catherine Olivia
When you start to consider a kitchen remodel what is the first thing you should consider doing? You shouldbrowse magazines. Magazines are a perfect way to start to get an idea of what type of kitchen you want. Andnot necessarily home remodeling magazines. Magazines that focus on family and food are also great places toget ideas for a kitchen.
You're not necessarily looking for a completed kitchen style to wow you, you're looking at the details andchoosing what you like. Don't look at the kitchen a a whole. Break down the components. Do you like thecabinets? The countertop? The tile backslash? The floor? Windows? As you see what you like cut it out and putit in a box or a scrapbook.
We suggest that you do this for at least two months, six or eight is especially good as it gives you morechoices. What you'll find at the end of that time as you go through your saved pictures is a particular typeof pattern emerging. You may never have known that you were really drawn to dark Cherry wood cabinets, or to aslate floor, or to pewter cabinet hardware. You may find that you actually prefer a porcelain sink over astainless steel one. You may find that you prefer appliances with a color finish, such as black or white, overbrushed aluminum appliances.
We also suggest that you visit your local home store such as Lowe's or Home Expo to get a feel for what typesof kitchen remodeling items the offer. Also, if there is a store, such as a Stuart Kitchen near you visitthem. You can make these visits before, while you're making your kitchen scrapbook, or after you're done withthe scrapbook.
Pair down the items in your scrapbook to say two of each thing, two cabinet choices, two countertop choices,etc. that you think go well together. Look at these for a few days. Take these choices with you to the storesmentioned above and find the particular items, or items close to them. Do you still like them? Perhaps you do,perhaps it isn't going to be quite like you thought it would.
We'd also like to suggest that you spend a bit of time with a remodeling specialist. No, not the re-modelerwho is going to do the job, but a decorator. Consider the amount of money you're spending on a full kitchenremodel can be easily $20,000 or more depending on the quality of your purchases. It's well worth severalhundred dollars to have someone come out to your home to go over your design style and kitchen layout withyou. A kitchen remodel is something you're going to have to live with for a lot of years, and you want to makesure that you're totally satisfied with your choices when you're done.
