Hey here are a few more things to keep in mind while creating a brand new kitchen...

1. Functionality
Space planning is one of the most important elements to a successful kitchen.
Vital elements include traffic flow, work stations, and safety considerations. The most important area is the triangle between the three primary work centers – cooking, prep/cleanup and refrigeration. A well-placed island is one that is centrally located for ease of use and traffic flow. It may include bar seating, storage and possibly a secondary sink or cooktop.

2. Budgeting
Drafting a budget will give your kitchen renovation project scope. It will also help you and your designer / retail store if you can prioritize where you want to allocate your funds – cabinets, appliances, tile, flooring, countertops. Appliances should be selected based on the budget and size of kitchen.

3. Longevity
Choose styles that reflect your personality and lifestyle, not what you think is "hot" or trendy. Making classic choices that match your personal style will ensure the longevity of your kitchen, and your ultimate satisfaction.
