So you’ve been thinking it’s time to update your kitchen.

Before you call your local kitchen company it’s a good idea to have a look around on the web to get an idea on what style you like. It’s not necessary to know the names of all the products and finishes, that’s the kitchen designer job. For renovating I think pinterest ( www.pinterest.com ) is about the best tool out there.

For people who don’t know what it is, it’s basically like an online scrap book. You can look up an almost an unlimited amount of pictures. For pictures you like you can save them to your board. So, before you get a kitchen designer out to your house, start a dream kitchen board on pinterest. So when the kitchen designer comes to your house you can show what style of kitchen you are after. It makes everyone’s job so much quicker and easier. It gets you the kitchen you are exactly after.
