The first step in remodeling should always begin with a list of all the things you’re looking to change in your kitchen. Everything from the cabinets, countertops, flooring, sinks and appliances need to be considered.

Other questions to ask yourself is what else do you want your kitchen to be other than a place to prepare food. Are you looking to create an additional workspace in your home by incorporating a desk or computer station? Is your kitchen situated so it can function as an entertainment area for your family and guests?

You also need to consider storage space, how many people are generally in the kitchen at one time and – a consideration for ALL remodeling – are you remodeling solely for the purpose of resale OR are you planning on staying?

This, along with the current condition of the room, will help determine the scope of the job and provide the direction to more forward.
