5 signs you are ready for a kitchen renovation
1. You have the funds to do it.
We know this may seem obvious but we thought it was worth mentioning. Remodeling your kitchen is a great way to transform your living space but it does cost money. We have found that the beginning of the year is the perfect time to start dreaming about your project. “Why?”, you say . We are glad you asked! January means that our tax refund checks are just around the corner! For a lot of us that means we get a check in the mail, untethered to bills and the normal cost of living. We see that as the perfect start to securing your funds for a kitchen remodel. Start dreaming today, tax season is upon us!
2. You are short on counter space.
We’ve all been there, we get home from work start looking for something to eat and just find chaos. Every single inch of flat surface in our kitchen has something on it! We have officially out grown our kitchen and now finding or organizing anything has become an overwhelming task. If you are anything like us, you probably had to clear some counter space this morning to put your cereal bowl on the counter in order to make breakfast. The beauty of a kitchen remodel means we get to creatively find a space for everything while optimizing the functionality of your new kitchen! Close your eyes and picture your dream kitchen now, absolutely nothing on your brand new counter tops, ready for whatever crazy cooking adventure you throw at it!
3. You have outdated appliances running up your utility bills.
It is absolutely amazing how far technology has come in the last decade or so. I mean, just think about the super computer we all carry around in our pockets now… it’s amazing! New appliances run on less energy and do their jobs more effectively and efficiently. In the modern age of “smart” everything, you can even decide to add a smart kitchen to your resume as well! Out with the old and in with the new is a huge win for your home or kitchen remodel!
4. It has become difficult or impossible to host guests.
There is nothing like food and drinks to bring people together. Historically, food is the one thing that seems to unite us as humans. We all have to eat some time! An old or outdated kitchen can make it difficult to hosts guests in the way you would hope to. An efficiently remodeled kitchen will allow you to use the power of food and drink to unite family and friends as you host them for any and every occasion. Unleash the power of food by preparing it together with your loved ones!
5. Your needs have changed.
Maybe your kitchen was once perfect you. Fast forward a few years and before we know it our lives often look surprisingly different than before. Maybe you once had a house full of kids that you have successfully raised and released to the world. Maybe at one time you cooked for one, and now you find your family has grown and you need to cook for 5. A kitchen remodel can give you years of happy use for your current life stage and beyond. Maybe it’s even time for that pot filler faucet you have been wanting all these years!
Bonus round…
6. You are looking to sell your house.
A kitchen remodel might be the perfect thing to put your house ahead of the competition in the housing market! It can make your property more attractive, more functional, as well as increase the marketability to potential buyers. A kitchen remodel is unique in the fact it can take an otherwise old outdated property and give it a brand new and fresh energy. Combine it with a fresh coat of interior paint and a bathroom remodel and you are in business!
