Step 1: Decide your kitchen Focal Point 

First and foremost the most delicate and time sensitive matter that will influence the trajectory of your kitchen master piece is the “Focal Point!” It is this critical step that will give you the power to make executive decisions in the most drastic of moments! The focal point of your kitchen should be the first thing that catches the eye when the look at your dream kitchen.

A good example is the stove top and the range oven vent perhaps with a tall hood that really stands out. Other great focal points depend on your kitchen layout. When a home is made with the intention to impress and stun the homeowner they ideally put a large window right above the sink to look out into their beautiful backyard perhaps. I fyou have the right amount of square footage in your kitchen perhaps you can make the island be the spot where all the life happens by placing your appliances, sink, stove all on the island so that you may interact and be looking at your family or guest as you cook instead of staring at your wall and impolitely giving your back to them. Which ever focal point you go with just know it will be what you balance the rest of your kitchen around. Just be sure not to visualy compete with other big eye catching counterparts.

If you have been apart of big projects or atleast maybe witnessed them then you should know that when things go south it is because of poor planning and bad decision making all together. When your contractor can not figure out what you want and money keeps going down the drain, the tension will be so thick that the air will become hard to breath. Keep it simple, clear, and the most transparent possible with your contractors or associates helping you so that everyone is on the same page.

Step 2: Know Your Budget

How will you decide on what cabinets to go with or what countertops to choose over millions of options? The magical word is Budgeting from day one.

Every project to ever take place started with a budget. No matter how big or how small the project is this step will help you filter out through millions of choices and save you tons of valuable time. Everyone needs a budget, you can not skip this step and not expect disastrous results.

This step 2 will help you fully decide what step 1 will be for your dream kitchen makeover. Your should be evenly distributed across your kitchen expenses. Your spread should look something like this:

Step 3: Set Kitchen Layout

Looking for the best layout in your kitchen will be an absolute must. A kitchen designer will come up handy or if you have some experience in this field that will help tremendously. You want to make sure you have the right amount of space in your kitchen so you may have to remove a wall and open it up some more perhaps into the living area or a any open room near by.

Disclaimer: If you do choose to remove a wall please consult a professional to make sure it not load bearing. A load bearing wall means that the roof and entire structure of your home is dependent on the amount of weight distributed on that wall. If it is load bearing then it can still be modified but the professionals will have to find a way to reinforce that wall so they will give you the options.

This would also be a great time to add or remove any windows, doors or plumbing components. Go Bright! Please do yourself a favor and add more lighting to your kitchen, Old homes hardly have enough lighting needed for a proper sized kitchen. If you are going to spend your hard earned money, then don’t let the results sit in the dark, make them come to the light.

Step 4: Preparation Checklist

You will have visualize the entire process and acknowledge what kind of an impact the duration of the process will have on your daily life untill the deadline and completion is reached. Setting those important dates will require lots of confirmation emails and phone calls to make sure your process will flow like clockwork. Keep in mind life happens so give yourself a little breathing space for recollection and recovery in between your tight scheaduling.

Gather lots of estimates and point out the perks that benefit your priorties. Finding the right people will be probably the hardest challanges of all because there is no guarantee that every contractor is made the same, some have more experience in certain field, so its good to know them a little bit better and double check their accomplishments and credentials. Every true craftsman has his or her strong point, the main trade that are truely passionate about. So keep that in mind when making your final choice, what step of your kitchen is most important to you? I know thats a hard question becuase every point matters but just be prepared to be amazed or astonished if you pick the right guy for the right job.

Will your home still be livable during the process of this project. How deep are you going into this with what amount of work. If you are ok with a little dust and loud obonoxious noises then stay as you are, but if you hate that feeling of somebody in your home while or have any health issues that may be breached with all the exposed elements, then please look for a place to stay. If your deadline is months ahead then a rental of somekind will be necessary.

One of the underlying costs that is sometimes missed is your project leftovers. Where will all the trash go? You will need several trash containers or trips to the landfill through out this expedition. Trash cost money to dispose of especially wood scraps, so if you have the space and permision to do so then burning it under the right conditions is a good money saver.

Step 5: Execution 

By this point your hard work, patience and determination will truely shine and show off the fruits of your efforts. You should not and can not layback during the execution of your kitchen. Now is the time watch your dream home come into realization. Be there for every step of the process but it’s not recommended to stay there the entire time, let the profesioinals do their work and just check in as needed to manage the progresss and answer the little questions that may arrive time to time.

Don’t waste any time, even in the down time keep making preparations and help out with any minor details that will help speed up the process. Once you start seeing the finished product then all that stress and anxiety will be payed off with your dream home kitchen makeover.
