Kitchens: A Hot Topic

sonneborn-kitchen-remodel-annapolis

Summer is in full swing and as temperatures rise, you may find yourself turning to your grill instead of turning on your stove. I was recently talking to an Annapolis client and friend about their kitchen remodel that we just completed together. She went on and on about how beautiful it is and how we did a wonderful job. As much as I loved hearing all the compliments about its beauty, I wanted to know how it was functioning for her. When I asked her about the appliances (they chose the new GE Slate Appliances)  her tone changed a bit and she sheepishly admitted that she hadn't used the stove yet, because they had been grilling so much. I was shocked! I understood the idea of not wanting to heat up the kitchen, but I saw that new stove as a new toy begging to be played with.  Being an avid cook and maybe being a little jealous of a friend's new toy, I offered to come over and break in that stove for her.

When the sun is beating down on your brow, its  hard to think about heating it up in the kitchen, but now is the time to start planning your kitchen renovation, so it will be done in time for holiday entertaining.  I just came across this great article with tips on how to make your Kitchen Sizzle. Both the topic and the title seemed fitting for today's blog post.  Are you dreaming of a new kitchen? What is the coolest feature you want to integrate? A new refrigerator, a nice deep sink?
