Windows and doors play a large part in the function of a kitchen and the brightness of a kitchen. When you are planning your kitchen renovation, I suggest re-evaluating how your current windows and doors function for you. Increasing a window size in a kitchen can dramatically make the space feel larger, brighter, and more open. When embarking on a kitchen renovation, a very important part of a beautiful and functioning kitchen is the lighting. Great lighting of a room is usually "never seen", it just sets the stage for a great performance.

The biggest decision you will face when updating your kitchen is deciding how much you want to spend. There are three types of upgrades you can do in your kitchen, with three different price points: Surface update - this involves changing wall colors or removing wallpaper, updating hardware on cabinets, possibly updating countertops and appliances. If you are looking for the quick and easy solution to your artwork situation, this is not going to be it. These steps require something of you, to actually get clear on what you want for your walls.

I recently was at a new clients house and in conversation with them they told me nobody liked to sit in the living room. It was a two story living room with a large flat screen TV, plenty of seating for a large family, and a nice fireplace. I took a seat on the love seat and asked my client to sit across from me on the sofa. This is a common question I hear at my paint color seminars.
