Is your family one of the estimated 5 million that will be living on pizza and frozen dinners during a new kitchen installation this year?
If so, you can speed up the process, make informed decisions and focus your resources wisely by doing your homework early.
Start with your cabinets--not only will they be your kitchen's most dominant element, they'll probably take longer to get than any other component.
As you begin to shop for cabinets, you'll discover a nearly overwhelming variety: laminates, hardwoods, veneers, lacquered finishes and much more in hundreds of different styles, configurations and sizes.
You'll find ready-to-assemble cabinets that can outfit a kitchen for under $1000 and high-end cabinets that cost more than many houses. How do you choose the right ones for your kitchen?
The answer is to know what you're looking for before you set out, ask lots of questions and look closely at floor models.
