An interior designer shares the dos and don’t of kitchen remodels and what to consider before you start — as well as stunning before and after images.
BEFORE: This dark kitchen in a 1952 bungalow in Austin, Texas, had all kinds of issues — until interior designer Sara Malek Barney got to work. She moved a wall to double the kitchen’s size, then updated cabinets and finishes. My daughter and her new husband love to cook and entertain. To make their home what they want for the long-term, they would like an upgraded kitchen. If they can’t get one, they would like to move.
They ask themselves, would I rather endure months of inconvenience, dust, noise, strangers in my house, dozens of decisions, financial surprises and life with no kitchen, or put everything I own into boxes, pay a bunch of moving costs and set up house all over again in a new neighborhood with new problems yet to be discovered?
“I value her talent and want to compensate her for her time,” my daughter said, “but I don’t want to pay the design fee unless I know what I will get and what the total project will cost, and she can’t know that until she designs it.”My daughter and I bat around the pros and cons of remodeling or buying a house that has the kitchen she wants. Whatever side I take, she takes the other one, which is how we roll. Like a dog chasing its tail, we go round, get nowhere, get tired and give up.
