The itch to engage in home renovation projects is one which most home ownersâ??budget and schedule permittingâ??love to scratch.  After all, a home is the most valued possession a person is ever going to have, and so the desire to constantly improve and upgrade the home is quite understandable.  From minor, superficial fix-ups that simply get at aesthetic issues to the most comprehensive and far-reaching renovations, there is practically always a project worth investing in (assuming that a person doesn't live in a 'perfect home,' something few if any home owners actually can claim).  Nonetheless, the urge to delve into such projects can sometimes be proportionally unbalanced with a home owner's capacity to actually see things through without any (or at least major) mistakes; therefore, it's important that people know at least a few of the ...

Having said that, here is the top 5 list of indicators of a good or great kitchen design firm (and yes, all of these were exhibited by Jim, our kitchen design specialist):1. Innovative ideasThe idea of removing the bulkheads was great. We never would have thought of that. Also having any corner turned into a 45 degree angle (eliminates constantly running into the corner of the island). Having a 2 foot deep pantry (so it actually can hold lots of stuff). He, together with Bennett the installer extraordinaire, came up with an idea to cover the support beam that is in the middle-ish of the kitchen eating area which has worked wonders.2.
