Lots of thought goes into designing a kitchen. You'd think it would be easy to decide on counter tops and floors, cabinets and lighting - but it isn't. Take into consideration that two people will be living and working in the kitchen; one very talented with design, and the other, well, I'm just okay!
Where do you start? With the ceiling? We are thinking tin. The floor? Probably cork. What about the cabinets? Is hickory warmer than maple? An L-shape or a triangle work space. Who's using the kitchen? Appliances, what color do we want this time around? Garbage disposal or not? Double sink or not? Hardware or not?
All of these decisions take time and money. Don't even start a project like this until you have considered the cost. Do your research. Talk to others who have done similar projects. Make sure you can trust your suppliers. Use the Internet, the local newspaper and word of mouth.
Also consider how tearing out your kitchen will affect your household. More on that later as I talk about packing up your collections and creating a kitchen space while under construction.
