As we head into the holiday season, if you're considering a future kitchen remodel, now is the time to pay attention to how you're using the space.
Are you running all over the kitchen because things aren't where they should be?
Do you have 20 spatulas in the drawer and you actually only use 2?
Do you have counterspace that you need for the annual cookie baking or are you always struggling for workspace?
Are you constantly pulling out the step stool to get to things in cabinets that you need more accessibility to?
Is your pantry too deep to even functionally use the space in it? Are you able to get to the back of the shelves without removing all the stuff up front?
How much time does it take to plan a kitchen remodel - I'd say to give yourself at least 3 months for design intent, final drawings and bids. Then, it depends on the contractors availability before the cabinets arrive. Then it's demo which means NO kitchen for a period of time while the prep happens - the electrical, plumbing and all the fun stuff behind the walls. Then the cabinets finally arrive and there's still more work to be done... eventually its close but you're waiting on the countertops to arrive and the final appliances to be installed. It's a long process but SO worth it!
