Kitchen Renovation: Inspiration

Over the next few weeks, I will be delving into the inner workings of the Kitchen Renovation process.  We will begin with finding inspiration, to assessing your budget, hiring a designer/contractor, figuring out the best layout and choosing cabinets, appliances, finishes and fixtures.  Join me as we uncover the truths and myths of a kitchen overhaul.

Today we will begin with finding inspiration.  You have decided you want to tackle a kitchen renovation but you have no idea where to start or what you want it to look like in the end.  First off, lets begin with figuring out the overall style of the room.  What do you want it to look and feel like? Since this is one of, if not the biggest and most expensive projects in your home renovation, you want it to be perfect.  Lets take a look at a few trending kitchen styles ......
