Correcting a Major Flaw

Homeowners often love their neighborhoods but face flaws in their homes that make them think of moving. According to a recent survey, 18 percent of respondents said that their house’s biggest flaw was an undersized kitchen. This complaint is quite understandable in light of the fact that kitchens did not attain their present status as the “hub of the home” until the 1980s.
Homes built before that time often have cramped, closed-off cooking areas that lack sufficient storage space and working room. Those facing a move-or-improve dilemma of this sort may want to explore the option of enlarging and renovating their kitchens before selling their homes. Removing the wall between the kitchen and dining room is a common solution.
A small kitchen doesn’t mean you have to spend every night bumping into other family members while you cook dinner, or cramming yet another utensil into an already overstuffed drawer. With careful space planning and a creative approach to storage, you can transform a small and cluttered kitchen into a model of efficiency, organization and even style.
