SPECIAL SECTION: HOME IMPROVEMENT
KITCHEN CUISINE
Whether your cooking style is Chicken Cordon Bleu, or just some
great Pad Thai take-out from the corner restaurant, you need a place to
prepare your meals that’s fun, organized and feels like home.
Even in today’s hectic lifestyle, you’ll probably spend a significant
amount of time each day in your kitchen.
Though it’s a significant investment to update your kitchen, it’s a
worthwhile endeavor from both a personal standpoint and a financial
one. And like bathrooms, HGTV.com estimates that a 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, Varner also says 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.
And 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.
