Kitchen Remodeling in the New Year

 

We're remodeling our kitchen over the winter holidays, and our family probably won't be able to cook a proper meal again until later in February. What about your kitchen ... or your client's kitchen? Are you happy with its present style, range of appliances, countertops, flooring, task lighting, and seating? My sister the real estate broker just told me that she sold a client's home and they bought it based on her fab kitchen design - it was a simple black-and-white kitchen with crisp black marble countertops and a black-and-white checkerboard floor. Although the kitchen was done 10 years ago, it looks fresh and appealing.

I liked the following House to Home video because it gives not only great country kitchen design ideas, but it also gives you a template for how to think about any kitchen style, from country chic to streamlined Euro modern. 

 

As lead curriculum developer for Sheffield School, I wish you seasons greetings and a decorative and healthy 2012. If you're interested in learning more about home decorating and design, then I encourage you to explore the Sheffield School, New York, NY. Sheffield began as an Interior Design school in 1985, and then expanded our course offerings to train people in other design-related fields, including Feng ShuiWedding and Event Planning, and Jewelry Design. With thousands of active students and more than 50,000 graduates, Sheffield has trained more design professionals than any school in the world.

The photo of that first kitchen is amazing. I may need to do some kitchen remodeling of my own now.

When planning of kitchen remodelling granite worktops are the best option. It is the most stunning material available in market. They will increase beauty of kitchen and give a new look.
