If you are planning to remodel your kitchen, create a realistic budget and be sure of your needs and goals. First, you should examine your kitchen’s layout, your appliance locations, countertop and storage space. If you are comfortable with it, then updating your kitchen by painting or refinishing your cabinets might be one inexpensive idea. Replacing the cabinet doors with glass fronts, new hardware, drawer fronts and converting some of your cabinets to open storage, can give your kitchen an open airy charm.

You can give your kitchen new life by adding a new countertop, [granite, quartz, sandstone] windows, skylights or new built-in & track lighting. Design a new full height custom back splash, create your own special mosaics, utilize some glass tile into your patterns to enhance the beauty of your kitchen. Installing an inexpensive soffit or crown molding with indirect lighting around the perimeter, is a beautiful way to highlight your kitchen.
