So you need a new kitchen. Let the dreams commence! We read all about the ubiquitous “dream kitchen”. The gorgeous kitchen above may be found on Houzz.com and features cabinets by Holiday Kitchens. Sorry if you thought it was the after shot. Sadly, it is not but I think you'll agree that we made a huge improvement. To be sure the heart of the home is the most expensive room in the house to remodel so how much do you need to do? Do you need to reinvent the wheel to be happy? I say no.
Take a look at this typical example. This kitchen is in a classic Florida ranch style, 3 bedroom 2 bath abode circa 1978. 
Do you think it needed a new kitchen? Here’s the scenario: The owner is a bachelor with a teen-aged daughter who lives with him part-time. It’s a small kitchen. We’re not changing the flooring and you don't have to. Just remember to make sure that new cabinets will cover the old "foot print" of the kitchen. Your installer should shim cabinets, as needed, so everything's nice and level. Basically this client was due for fresh new cabinets, tops and appliances. He actually likes to cook and his favorite appliance is his GE Advantium Speedcook Microwave Oven, so much so he wants two! Oh, and he wants a cabinet that is easy to access from the porch because he grills a lot. We used Holiday Kitchens for the cabinetry (same resource used for the gorgeousness at the top of the page). 
You may know Holiday Kitchens for their higher end custom cabinets but they also offer a really good quality cabinet in a middle-of-the-road price point. Laminate tops were replaced with durable granite by Stone Palace and we fit that extra microwave in a tall cabinet with pantry storage above and below. Nothing crazy just nice and new.Next up: Can healthy chips taste good? We had fun finding out!
