Solving Mid-century Kitchen Layout Problems

Today we are going to talk about mid-century kitchen layout
problems.  Nearly every ranch kitchen has a layout that can
be problematic for the way a modern family likes to use their
cooking and eating space.  


When it comes to kitchen layout changes you want to weigh a
number of factors.  If your layout is close to being
workable and you are blessed with your original cabinets, I
encourage you to consider keeping them.  You likely can’t
find or buy anything more sturdy.  


But if you do need to update your mid-century kitchen layout,
you’ve come to the right place.  We’ll go over all the pros
and cons of the common layouts and discuss some ways to improve
on them.  Stay tuned for more on total kitchen remodels that
change entire layouts in the upcoming episode on how to choose
the right Level of Kitchen remodel for your life and budget.
