Kitchen designs that stand the test of time

What percentage of time do you spend in your kitchen? If you're like me, I bet at least half of the time you spend at home (not including sleeping) is spent in your kitchen - that'll add up to a lot of time!

Better make sure it's a room you enjoy being in...

Kitchen design is always a hot topic, there are tons of companies and designers out there that specialize just in kitchen design - and they will charge you an arm and a leg for it!

Last year this client asked me to come into her home to "update" her kitchen. The flooring was white vinyl, the counters were pink, the curtains were purple, and the backsplash was cheap white tile- it was awful.

I helped her pick out a new vinyl floor, we got her countertops changed, painted the walls a beautiful red and showed her how to make her backsplash the focal point.

By the way... those tiles on the backsplash - those aren't tiles at all. We painted them on!
