Get What You Really Want out of your Kitchen Update

There's a saying that the kitchen is the heart of your home.
 

That’s a little trite but still true.  The kitchen update is
THE first element that I hear about from new clients wanting to
plan a remodel.  In any house, of any era, the kitchen is
one of the most complex, expensive, and personally specific parts
of the home.  


So ... your kitchen update serves as a microcosm of your whole
home remodel.  It is just as complicated and important alone
as a whole house overhaul can be.  


That means we can approach it in much the same way that I would
approach any full remodel plan for a mid-century house.  If
you’ve been listening to the podcast for a while … you know that
means I’m going to say we should have a masterplan to do it well.
 


So here’s my advice.  Planning for a kitchen update doesn’t
really start with Pinterest or Instagram or Shelter magazines
showing you what other people have done.  


It starts with you, your family and your current kitchen.

you want your remodel to do for you (as opposed to just what you
