spend much of our time and most of that is with our families. It's the room where we nourish our bodies and our spirits. Kitchens are integral to entertaining and in today's age of open floor plans, they're a focal piece of many family rooms.
most labor and time intensive of all home renovations. It's not just a new layer of paint. Instead you find a complicated array of flooring, tiling, cabinets, and counters. This means buyers may want a home with an up-to-date kitchen but they aren't willing to tackle this problem themselves. Most buyers want a kitchen that is ready to use the day they move in.

7 Comments on Are You Ashamed Of Your Kitchen?
Not only is a kitchen remodel expensive but it is the most confusing prospect you can face. We bought an old house almost 20 years ago and had been renting it for six years before we bought it. Over the years we have remodeled and updated just about everything in the house. Guess what room isn't done yet?
LOL.... I understand completely, Leslie... My kitchen isn't done either...
What a catchy headline! And yes, I would agree, the kitchen is the trickiest of all remodels. It is also the hardest to really do yourself, the craftsmanship to do the cabinetry right is more than the average handy person can handle, the plumbing involved, or putting new kitchen counters and backsplash in almost always requires homeowners to hire professionals. Maybe that's why they end up often being such high ticket remodels, because it's mostly outsourced work?!
Sheila, even if someone can't afford to remodel which is understandable, they should consider decluttering, scouring and painting before listing. I'd love a new kitchen...sigh.
My mantra is "kitchens sell home", "kitchens sell home", "kitchens sell homes". All upgrades depend on the price of the home so I couldn't agree more.
Kitchens are definately the focal point. I would love a new kitchen too! Come to think of it, I will take the one pictured in the upper right side of your post!!
What a wonderful post! Everything you say is true. Good common sense to not price yourself out of the neighborhood.
