Some homeowner's set out to change their kitchen without a plan or even know why they are changing their kitchen.

The Questions you should ask yourself when thinking about changing your kitchen include:

    *Do u enjoy working in your kitchen?

    *Would an updated kitchen be more conducive to entertaining?

    *Would it add value?

The first question is an easy one to answer. if u find yourself not enjoying the time you spend in your kitchen (and not because you don't like to cook), then it may be timeto change.

Your kitchen should be a place that is easy to use and easy to maneuver. And because you spend so much time in the kitchen, it should be " eye on the eyes!"

If you are like most people, when entertaining family and friends, your kitchen is the one area of your home people tend to congregate. Having a space that is warm and inviting should br a priority when thinking about a kitchen remodel.

You should also think about the value of your home.

Many people look to change their kitchen and master bathrooms simply to increase the value of their homes.

If you enjoy working in your kitchen, but acknowledge that your space is outdated, then it may be a good time to think about certain remodeling projects.

Updating countertops, installing new lighting or reconfiguring your kitchen are just some examples of things that can add tremendous value to your home.
