Consider how you are using the current space and how the room meets, or falls short of, your needs.
How quickly do you want to finish this project? What is your timeline?
Is your main goal to increase resale value or to update for your personal needs?
Full remodel or face lift?

AFTER
THAT
Your kitchen is often the center of activity. It is more than a place to prepare food – it’s used for unwinding, entertaining, storing gadgets
and eating meals with loved ones. Because it’s a place that provides refuge and relief, it is your oasis. The design of your kitchen needs to
flex with these needs, so it is important to have it the way that you want it. It is also important to add beauty, style and functionality to this
space. Imagine a room where its aesthetics are calming and inviting as well as functional and practical. We can help you design your
kitchen to have these qualities, and so much more. Here is a guide to help you start to create your dream kitchen space. Answer a few
simple questions, then we can help you make it a reality. Let’s get started.

Who cooks? What are the cooks heights? Include any young cooks as well.

meals, etc.)
