kitchen remodel can offer returns that are upwards of 100% on
the resale of your house.
According to Jamie Varner, owner of Varner Remodeling,
most kitchen remodels start around $25,000, and on average
will range up to about $50,000.
You can give your kitchen a whole new look in any style
from ultra-contemporary to French country in this price range.
Your designer and builder can assist you with computer-aided
design (CAD) to help you envision your dream.
Some new trends in the kitchen include spacious farm
sinks that offer tons of space for food prep. Clean, white
subway tile can match virtually any décor, making it a popular
choice for backsplashes. Recycled glass tiles can be found
in any color for a look that’s great for your kitchen and great
for the environment as well. Varner says that mosaic tiles are
frequently used and can be laid in customized patterns for a
uniquely personal look.
Although cherry wood cabinets are popular, he’s seeing an
increase in white cabinets. Cherry will give your kitchen a
warm feel, while white cabinets will brighten the space and
have a clean appearance.
As for flooring, Varner notes, “You can’t go wrong with
natural stone,” adding that travertine is extremely popular
right now. After the stone is sealed, it’s an easy-care option for
homeowners and offers a lot of longevity.
It’s not just about the look you want to achieve in your
kitchen, it’s also about the way it makes you, your family and
your friends feel when you’re there. ■
