Spot Your REAL Kitchen Problems … then use Design to Solve Them in a Mid-sized Remodel

Is your kitchen actually too small or does it just feel too
small?  What Kitchen problems are you really trying to solve
with your remodel?  Let’s make sure you know the answer!


A crucial step in planning a successful remodel is understanding
the scale that you are looking to take on and knowing what
kitchen problems you are really trying to solve.   Once you
know those two things you can find a solution that works for your
budget and home.  


This week, we will be exploring the difference between a level 2
and level 3 kitchen remodel and importance of solving the
underlying issue, not just the surface problem.


The difference between a level two and a level three remodel is
not necessarily the scale of the finished result or even how well
it turns out, but the difference of priority between cost and
time. While you're carrying out one of these two kinds of
remodels you'll feel the difference very distinctly, but once
they're completed, they can both have accomplished the same sort
of dramatic, even magical transformation of your home.


Identifying the real layout kitchen problems you need to solve
with your remodel often comes down to asking yourself what you
don’t like about the kitchen you have … and then calling on your
inner three year old to ask ‘but why is ___?” two or three more
times.   Have a listen to learn more!
