You have been contemplating remodeling your kitchen for a long time. The time is finally here and you are worried you might not remember all the changes you wanted to make when having an Orange County kitchen remodel job done.
The first thing to do is make a folder of ideas. Each time you visit a showroom, a model home or peruse through a magazine with kitchen ideas, write down the changes you want to make or the ideas you have. Do you want a sink in or island or would you enjoy a large, solid surface for projects? Do you do most of your cooking on the island or counter tops? How many drawers compared to cabinets do you want? Where do you want your refrigerator? What about the garbage, do you want it in the island or by the sink? That depends on where you do the most food prep.
Some people keep all their baking supplies in their island along with the mixer, blender, sugar and flour while keeping spices and seasoning used for cooking by the stove. This makes sense as baking preparation is often on the island while dinner prep is more likely to occur on the stovetop.
Think about your lifestyle. Do you usually eat at the counter of bar or do you usually eat at the kitchen or dining room table? Plan your kitchen accordingly. Plan cabinet space for a pantry or space for food storage. Think about adding a few glass cabinet fronts to break up the solid wall of wooden cabinets. Do you have a special collection you would like to display like grandmothers teacups? Vintage cookbooks? Wooden angels? Spoons? Pottery? Add a space in your new kitchen for these treasures.
Are you a gourmet chef who needs plenty of food preparation space or are more of a grab and go sort of chef? You do not need endless countertops if you only microwave burritos. Keep appliances that you regularly use handy. Consider an appliance garage to keep your toaster, toaster oven, and blender. If you enjoy using your food process, design a rollout drawer in your Orange Country kitchen cabinets for easy access. The easier things are to access, the more likely you are to use them. A cabinet built over the refrigerator for cookie sheets, trays, and cooking racks is convenient and a great use of space.
You have waited a long time for you Orange County kitchen remodel, take your time, plan well so you can enjoy the perfect kitchen for many years to come.
