Invest in Your Kitchen

A Remodeling Checklist

Before you tear out the first cabinet or knock down walls, here are issues to consider.

• How long do we expect to live in this house?
• What do I like about my existing kitchen? What do I want to change?
• Do I have adequate storage and counter space? Do my appliances do what I need?
• How many cooks regularly work together in the kitchen?
• What other activities take place in the kitchen?
• How will my family change over the next few years?
