*Kitchen Before Renovation*	*Kitchen After Renovation*

Well as you can see the renovation of our kitchen is now complete, we will still be answering questions and maintain our links to wonderful kitchen sites online. I have left our kitchen remodeling photo galleries up but the links to pictures on other sites have been removed, as I think Googles image search does a better job Kitchen photos. Before you start thinking of your kitchen renovation get as much information as you can. Look at every page on this site, get yourself some books, look at magazines, and review more sites listed in our links section.

Quick start ideas to improve your home kitchen quickly and cheaply!

Repainting. The first and primary hint: Paint works miracles on nearly everything. You can get your kitchen looking like new for very little cash. Try repainting the walls with latex satin enamel in soft sheen or no sheen. Use a colour to contrast with your "new cabinets." Feeling adventurous? Paint knobs and hinges, too. If you have poor cabinetry, this technique can really pull it together.
New Knobs. When renovating cabinetry, new knobs add punch. In a small kitchen, put money into knobs and hardware. Expensive knobs can make the worst cabinets sing. Consider vintage knobs.
Remove Rubbish. Less is more! Look at your cabinets and consider which doors could be removed to expose the shelving. Open shelving helps a kitchen look bigger. Display your favourite dishes, baskets etc for a new, updated look. Paint the inside of the cabinets the same as the outside or an opposite.

Spring Clean. Replace solid cupboard doors with glass fronts. The glass can be clear or frosted or you can get vintage doors and master them to fit. Showcase dishes, glassware, silver, anything displayable. You can also line the inside glass with sheer fabric. And if you've removed some doors to create open shelves, the glass fronts add to the look beautifully.
Kitchen Lighting. Track lights brighten up any kitchen. Wire suspension lights can make the space look contemporary and new. Paper lanterns add life and freshness. All three types of lighting put light where you need it, create space or raise the ceiling. If you have a very small kitchen, make a box or rectangle of lights with extra small halogen bulbs.
Get New Tiles. Have new countertops in a day. If the counter space is not expansive, go ahead and splurge on expensive tile. It will make the entire kitchen look luxurious. Or, with small counters, you may be able to buy vintage tile. Tiling a small countertop is simple. Don't be afraid of irregularities.

Remodel Floors. Today there are countless self-stick tiles that can be added for a quick revamp. (Hint: Think contrasting black and white.) Floating wood floors and wood tiles can be done in an afternoon. Paint the floor a dark color such as black. To tie in the wall or cabinet color, use that paint to rag or faux finish over the darker colour.
Kitchen Taps. Heres another feature to invest in. A flashy new tap can make an old sink fade back. New taps in white or chrome with pull-out sprays look great and, for the money, say "new kitchen."
Window Coverings. A new window covering makes the window and the wall look fresh. A matchstick blind cut to size or a metal-tone mini blind add texture and light control. Small shutters loosely fitted into a window frame can be installed in an afternoon and are readily available in white or natural. Paint them, faux-paint them, stain them or leave them alone.
