ClassGraphic Whether you are planning a face-lift, a complete overhaul, or not sure which, this workshop will help you avoid the “if I had only known” syndrome. Do you want to know the pros and cons of custom versus ready-made cabinets? Is engineered stone or natural stone ideal for your kitchen? Are you interested in greener options? Wondering how to incorporate the latest materials and not get a dated design? Is universal design important to you? Are you wondering how much things will cost or how to avoid cost overruns? Do you want to have a great relationship with your contractor and subcontractors?
This hands-on workshop will provide a step-by-step process for planning, designing, and preparing for your remodel. Topics include: maximizing your storage, cabinet storage solutions, steps for getting a realistic bid, product comparisons, your responsibilities versus “their” responsibilities, pros and cons of different materials, along with many other topics that will help you prepare for your kitchen remodel. The workshop uses case studies and provides tangible tips so you can work with your contractor(s) to create a kitchen that meets your financial goals and reflects your personal style.

Please be sure to take photos of your space, take basic measurements for room dimensions, and have those with you for the first class. Digital photos are just fine. Materials fee covers basic drawing and drafting tools used during class.
