Resolutions regarding change of all sorts are being made during the month of January. As we mentioned in our post last week (part 1), why not resolve to make changes that actually have a lasting affect and are more easily obtained? We're talking about making changes to your home!
Sometimes the best strategy is not to gut your kitchen, but to rethink the cabinets that are already paid for! You can get creative by removing cabinet doors to display pretty collections and dinnerware, or by replacing solid door panels with glass ones. Or maybe you might like to repaint the cabinets, and replace your existing hardware with new ones. Any of these "redo" ideas can help you totally change the look of your kitchen. Furthermore, they can also make everything seem new again!
Are you hoping to remodel your kitchen soon? Most kitchen remodeling projects include adding islands of some sort. Islands can vary from simple countertops over a bank of deep drawers, to ones that include a sink or seating area. However, before you start ripping out cabinets or tapping your credit line for remodeling funds, read this article. The article is entitled: Building a Better Kitchen Island; a veteran architect shares his strategies for marrying function and style. We think this information from "This Old House" will be very helpful in your kitchen planning process.
