💬 Ask Heather & Brian:
“We’re remodeling our kitchen. What should we choose first — the flooring, cabinets, countertops or paint?”
Heather’s answer: before choosing any one piece, think about what is staying, what is changing and what you’ll be living with the longest.
Flooring, cabinets and countertops are the bigger commitments. Paint? That’s a lot easier to change later.
And don’t make these decisions from tiny samples in completely different places.
Put the flooring next to the cabinets. Compare it with the countertop. Look at everything in the morning and again when the afternoon sun comes through the windows. Sometimes a combination that looked perfect in a showroom looks completely different at home.
This is also where Heather’s Interior Design background comes in handy. If you’re changing more than your floors, tell us. Bring out the cabinet sample. Show us the countertop you’re considering.
And if you ask Heather what she thinks?…she’ll tell you. 😄
