Proper remodelling in the kitchen
takes smart planning and thought

CAN'T STAND your kitchen any
more?

No room for a microwave oven
or dishwasher? Want to remodel
but don’t want to tear down walls?

In fact, industry experts predict
that consumers will spend almost
26 billion dollars on kitchen
remodelling this year. This figure
includes costs for a simple painting
or wallpapering job all the way up
to an over $25,000 total redo.

Many of these kitchens slated
for renovation are 15 years of age
or older. They are usually smal!
and were originally designed to in-
corporate just the basics ... a range
and refrigerator and, if you were
lucky, a dishwasher,

Both times and personal
lifestyles have changed over the
last 15 years, and busy families of
today want and need the versatile,
time-saving features offered by
microwave ovens, convection
ovens, refrigerators with large
freezer sections, and dishwashers
with a delay wash option.

Trying to squeeze all these mod-
ern appliances into a tiny kitchen
without knocking down the walls
and encountering huge expenses

seems almost impossible.

“Almost is the key word,"’ says
a home economist. ‘*lt can be done
with smarter space planning,
careful selection of appliances that
do more than one thing, and
thorough analysis of your family’s
kitchen needs and habits."

Here are some of the things you
need to analyse. Is the kitchen used
for more than just food prepara-
tion... hobbies, social gathering

place, home office? Do you have
more than one cook at a time... or
a budding chef who loves to bake?

Or, is the family an on-the-run
group, eating in different shifts,
who want to do a quick heat-and-
eat and be on their way?

Knowing answers to these ques-
tions can help you better plan a
kitchen to fit your lifestyle and
choose appliances that will really
work for you.
