Each and every year I am amazed by the people that call the studio in the middle of November or beginning of December in hopes that we will be able to plan and execute a kitchen renovation before their guests arrive from overseas for the Christmas holidays. Not that the time frame is the same but it’s a little like starting to plan for a baby in October and hoping to give birth before the New Year. While I’m always a bit shocked, it has occurred to me I never understand why it takes so long to do car repairs mainly because I don’t really understand the mechanics of a working car. Perhaps the same is true when it come to kitchen design.
Step Three
Make a decision about the number and style of sinks and faucets you are going to have in the space. Do you prefer a divided sink or a large tub like sink, do you want an apron styled front to the sink or an under mount sink. Do you think you would like to have a pot filler for the oven or is that less important to you. The reason you need to make these decisions is that it is possible to create the cabinets around the plumbing requirements of water supply and drains that are going to be part of the water in the kitchen. Until you have made those decisions it is difficult to move forward with the rest of the kitchen cabinets.
Time frame – One to four days
