No longer are kitchens a place for the cold look of outdated cabinets and counter tops, rooms filled with appliances whose sole purpose is performing the one job they were built for. Todays kitchens are filled with the warmth of rich wood cabinets and smooth stone countertops complimented by appliances that not only perform the job they were built for but they do it with greater energy efficiency while offering a pleasing visual appeal.

Your kitchen is not only a place where you prepare meals for your family, it is also the place where your guest will congregate during social gatherings, the children do their homework after school and the family

get together in the morning to start their day.

1) The most important step in the remodeling process is determining your budget. A kitchen remodel can cost as much or as little as you want, depending on the materials and the amount of alterations being made. The point of the budget is to determine what you can and can’t afford. After all, you wouldn’t try to buy a house without knowing how much you could afford to spend.

2) Do your homework. Look through books, magazines and online to get an idea of what you would like to include in your remodel.

3) After determining your budget, you will have to make a list of all of the amenities you would like to have. Stainless steal appliances, trash compactor, granite countertops, raised panel cabinets, soft close drawers, side by side refrigerator with built in ice maker and the list goes on and on. It doesn’t matter if it fits into your budget or not, just write out everything you would like to include in your remodel. The point of this step is to determine what is important to you and where you would like to spend your budget. If you are some one who likes to entertain, it may be more important to have a built in ice maker and a double oven, rather than that trash compactor you think is really cool, but might not get as much use out of.

4) Now go through you list of amenities to see what your budget will allow. Determine if you can afford that new 6 burner Viking range or will a 5 burner cook top and double oven suffice.

5) Determine a floor plan. Some remodels knock down walls, open up spaces and completely redesign the floor plan, while others simply reuse the existing space and make minor alterations to the components within. Either way, the floor plan will most likely have to be adjusted to accommodate the new amenities.

6) Tie together your new kitchen with design elements and accessories such as door knobs, lighting, backsplash, trim, etc.

7) Sign a contract and watch while Total Home Improvement & Repair, LLC transforms your ordinary kitchen into an extraordinary kitchen.
