Custom Remodeling Process Outline
Getting Started
- Start looking around at your friends’ homes, kitchen and bath design magazines, and parade of homes etc. And start noticing the styles that you and your family like. Also notice what you dislike or what themes you don’t what to have.
- Start a remodeling file and start putting the photo’s you like in it making post up’s on each page denoting what you like, or dislike. Make a note to yourself what colors or styles that keep catching your eye.
- Discuss these idea’s with your family and friends and ask for their feedback and opinions.
- Decide on a realistic budget and don’t forget to allow for some fun changes that may affect the final cost of doing your project. Remember the items like the furniture, or the new draperies, or the carpet for the front room. Proper planning now can make for a very enjoyable experience.
- Fill out the NKBA kitchen planning questioner.
- Call the showroom and set up an appointment at the showroom.
