Paul Radoy, Danny Lipford & Joe Boehm from Better Homes and Gardens review plans for the Kuppersmith Project.
For some the reality of remodeling may be a nightmare with visions of cost overruns, delays, strange people in your home, and endless decisions. At Merillat we have helped remodel and design thousands of kitchens. In fact, we are in the process of working with Danny Lipford and Today’s Homeowner on the Kuppersmith Project to rehab a 1920s Tudor style home in Mobile, Ala. So to take the nightmare out of getting your new dream kitchen, I’m offering some tips to consider before you start your next remodel. With this I hope to ease the process and make remodeling an exciting experience!
Think about how you will use your kitchen
To have a successful remodel it is important to take time and define the goals of your project and determine what problems you want your new kitchen to solve. And most importantly, think about how you’ll actually be using your new kitchen. Examples of common objectives include improving space utilization, personalizing the space, increasing natural light, or improving energy efficiency. Does your kitchen lack storage space, do you entertain a lot, do you want your kids to cook with you or do you just need an updated appearance? When deciding the goals of the project it is important to keep all of this in mind.
