HOME RENOVATIONS
Quality Craftsmanship & Dependable Service
‘Custom’ kitchen now
affordable and easy
The kitchen has become a center
of family activity in many homes.
And homeowners, through careful
kitchen planning when remodeling
or building, are enjoying new
levels of convenience.
More and more homeowners are
finding that the “kitchens of their
dreams” aren’t as costly as they
may have assumed. Kitchens
“customized” to homeowners’
individual lifestyles and decorat
ing preferences do not necessarily
have to be “custom kitchens.”
Today there is a wide range of
cabinet styles, units and accessory
options readily available from
kitchen/bath and home center
retailers.
There are key points to keep in
mind when planning for a new or
remodeled kitchen.
•Function. Doyou like to plan
meals, review recipes, pay your
bills and order-by-phone in the
kitchen? Space saving open-shelf
units and roll-top desks can make
your kitchen more than just an area
for food and utensil storage, meal
prepartion and dining.
•Floor Plan. Take some grid
paper and, working on a scale of
*/2 ” = 1’, mark out the dimensions
of your kitchen, noting window and
door locations, and make cutouts of
cupboard/counter tops, applianc
es and seating. Analyze your work
centers: refrigeration, prepara
tion, clean-up and, space permitt
ing, meal serving and planning
areas. Move your cutouts around
until you have a plan that gives you
enough open space in which to
move around and an efficient
“work triangle” between the
refrigerator, sink and stove.
•Storage. Today’s cabinets and
accessories maximize space usage
without cluttering your kitchen.
Make your life easier and your
kitchen more “customized” with
such readily available inner-cabi
net storage features as lazy susans,
cutlery/cutting board drawers and
utensil dividers. Spice racks and
corner tambour-doored “gar
ages” for small appliances, among
other decorative accessories, make
your kitchen work for you.
•Style. Affordable “stock” cab
inets come in an eclectic range of
today’s most popular decorating
styles: country, contemporary,
traditional and European. And,
cabinets and co-ordinating com
ponents (shelves, roll-top desks)
are not limited to kitchen installa
tions; the style and finish you
choose can be repeated in the bath
and other rooms in your home
where cabinet storage and modu
lar shelving systems are appropr
iate.
