Do you need a new Kitchen?

For many reasons, kitchens are one of the most popular types of green home remodeling projects.  An eco-friendly kitchen remodel can take your awkward, cramped and outdated kitchen and turn it into a multi-use center the entire family can enjoy.  Kitchens are the heart, and one of the most popular rooms in a home.  Is your kitchen warm and welcoming, or is it worn out and cut off from adjoining rooms?  Does it isolate you, becoming over-crowded as everyone squeezes in abandoning the neighboring living spaces?

In order to have a great kitchen experience for cooking, preparing, eating and socializing, you may have to reconfigure and update kitchen appliances, countertops, flooring, cabinets, faucets, storage and furniture, or more.  By relocating your features and appliances, you can transform the ordinary to the extraordinary and get the most use and pleasure from this space.  Again, this is the room in your home that you spend the most time in, so you want to make sure that it is set up to provide you with everything that you need.

 
The following items could add eco-friendly green aspects to your new kitchen:

Choose Energy Star rated appliances, which will use less energy and often don’t cost more. Check with your utility company, you may get a rebate on your purchase.

Install a tankless water heater to save money, energy and never run out of hot water again.  Major federal tax credits are available.

Install "Watersence" faucets to insure great operation and maximum water savings.

Install a beautiful alternative to the usual granite: polished concrete or recycled-content glass countertops.

Get a water filter or reverse osmosis purifier as an alternative to buying bottled water.

Install LED or florescent bulbs for lighting.

Take advantage of natural light with well-placed windows, skylights, or sun tunnels.

Keep the refrigerator out of the sunlight and away from the oven, where it gets hot and must work harder. 

Paint with low VOC paints to avoid off-gassing.
