Dividing Your Kitchen Remodeling Project into Phases 

At times, a family budget simply cannot accommodate a large home remodeling project like an entire kitchen, all at once. For instance, one husband and wife team who were the subject of a local home improvement cable program needed to update their kitchen. However, being newlyweds, and with jobs that didn’t pay well, funds were scarce. Hence, the couple went to local hardware stores and shopped online, and here’s what they found.

1) Since the credit history of this man and woman was excellent, options were readily available for them to apply for financing. The credit card and other financial payment terms were not too bad: zero interest in some cases for up to 6 months and even more, no cancellation fees for early payments, etc.

2) Well crafted materials and furnishings often came with hefty pricing, however, ecommerce (online) specials made purchases more adaptable for their budget.

3) Of the multiple awesome kitchen choices out there today, for instance, cherry kitchen cabinets that even boasted removable shelving slats, making them adjustable to accommodate a variety of storage needs, many were just what they had hoped for with their remodeling needs. The easy-to-clean cabinets’ feature was excellent, too, fitting in with their lack of time for kitchen clean up.

4) Shopping online for accessories, chair cover fabrics and more was an option, too, to coordinate everything with the new kitchen cabinets. The couple even found pan utensil wracks, moveable storage carts, energy saving appliances and much more. With the ability to mix-and-match items in ecommerce cart, online stores allowed both the man and woman plenty shopping ability.

After all the research, the couple actually decided to choose and pay only what they could afford at that time: new kitchen cabinet knobs. Not as inexpensive as these knobs may seem X 20 (one per cabinet), the total didn’t need to go on a credit card. Plus once the purchase was paid for, the man and wife were able to immediately make charges to their kitchen that same day the knobs arrived. Phase one: buying the best thing that fits in the budget now.

Phase two came next, purchasing the cabinets over time with installment payments. Then came phase three: purchasing the appliances over an extended term (longer contract).

In conclusion, for those checking around for aid with kitchen or other remodeling plans of granite countertops plan ahead in ‘phases’ for optimum results.
