(guest post)
The kitchen is the heart and soul of most houses — it is where you come to eat, connect and share time with your friends and family. This is exactly as it should be, yet it can also wear the room down — dozens of guests, screaming kids and hungry adults will age a room much faster than you would imagine. With a few simple touches, like new cookware or a splash of paint, you can make this room as pleasant as it should be.
Painting your kitchen is the best way to make it feel new again — by stripping off old layers you will be able to give it a nice bright appearance that will make all your conversations and meals more pleasant. Re-painting will also strip out some of the smells that the room has no doubt accumulated. Of course this is a bit of pain as you will have to cook around your paint job, so plan to do it at a time when life is slightly less hectic.
Your appliances and cookware also have an impact on the feel of the room — indeed, no one will notice a bit of dirt if their eyes are drawn to your collection of beautiful appliances, cutlery and dishes. Picking up a new set of non-stick pans, utensils or knives can make your room a bit more exciting — for you and your guests.
Finally, you can consider doing something drastic and ripping it all out. Kitchen conversions are expensive and a lot of work, yet there are the most effective way to spice up your entire home. Imagine replacing your worn down kitchen, with a beautiful environment replete with marble and perfectly designed cabinets — it will truly change the feel of your house.
