You must carefully con- sider cabinet storage, appliance/fixtures, sur- faces, countertops, lighting and electrical Systems, and room ori- entation and space. The following ques- tions; developed by the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), are designed to help you evaluate your kitchen: * Do the cabinets fea- ture timesaving acces- sories such as roll-out shelves, divided drawers and lazy susans? * Is there enough cabi- net shelf space? * Are the cabinet door style and color up to date? « Is there a place to sort recyclables? When rating your appli- ances, it’s important to consider the following: ¢ Is the refrigerator/ freezer large enough? * Based on the way you cook, are the oven and cooktop located where you want them? * Do you have a microwave oven, conve- niently located? * Are all of your appli- ances in good working condition? Questions to ask when evaluating surfaces and countertops include: ¢ Are the surfaces easy to clean? ° Is.’ there counter space? * Is the counter space located where you need it? * Are the counters the right height for you to work comfortably? enough You must also consider the lighting and mechani- cal elements. * Do you have task lighting above the coun- tertop? * Do you have enough electrical outlets? * Is there good ventilation in the cooking center? Finally, you should think about the overall space of the kitchen. This entails some of the fol- lowing questions: * Does the kitchen relate to adjacent rooms the way you would like? * Is the kitchen arranged so that “people traffic” is directed away from the cook’s activities? ¢ Is there a casual din- ing/conversation area in the room? The list is quite exten- sive and yet, it doesn’t even cover everything! Suddenly, a_ kitchen remodel might seem like an impossible project. However, by evaluating your current kitchen, you will get a clear idea of what items need to be changed in order to create a space that’s perfect for you. According to Patti- son, the evaluation will also be quite useful when you take the next step and visit a kitchen showroom. “You will be able to TO VIEW THESE LISTINGS CALL KAREN... “For a Current Market Evaluation of your Property Call Karen” DOWNTOWN LOCATION Great potential, 2 large bdrms., a Lssing Raven fenced yard & single garage.

Lightly treed & clearly communicate to the kitchen design pro- fessional, such as a mem- ber of NKBA, what you are looking to achieve with your new space,” says Pattison. When you meet with an NKBA kitchen specialist, he or she will also con- duct an in-depth inter- view with you to further define your wants and needs. In order to create a design that suits your lifestyle, a kitchen pro- fessional will need to know who will serve as the primary cook; what type of cooking is nor- mally done; if the kitchen will be used for entertain- ing and socializing; and what type of feeling or style you would like the space to have. The answers to these ques- tions will affect the size, layout and type of equip- ment you need for your new kitchen. With this information your kitchen specialist can plan the shape of your kitchen and, together, you can choose appliances, fix- tures, surfaces, etc. “At this point,” Patti- son warns, “budget becomes very important. The amount of money you would like to spend on your new kitchen will influence which compo- nents are included in the design.” Again, it’s important to use a check-list. Your kitchen specialist can JUST MOVED? Phone 365-2455 Our Hostess’ Gifts and Information are the Key to Your New Community assist you in this process. Make a list of various items that could be included in your new kitchen. The list should include features such as new cabinets, a new floor, a new dishwasher, trash compactor, recycling bins, etc. When the list is complete, review the items to determine those that you “need” and those that you “want”. By doing this, you can focus on the features that are most important to you and ensure that they are included in the design. Once you have com- pleted your evaluation, decided on the style, color and appliances, and chose a professional designer, the real work of designing and installing your kitchen begins. Since you have done all the preliminary work, this process will be much eas- ier. It will also be smoother if you’ work with» a_ professional kitchen designer.
