Working In Your New Kitchen
The last worker has finally left the house and you’ve (you hope) written the last of the checks. You’re standing in your new kitchen, it’s clean and you can still smell the newness of the room. You’ve probably been gradually moving back in as cabinets were installed, appliances hooked up and it became a working space again. Now is the time to stop and consider how you’re going to make the most your kitchen and what you can do now to enhance it’s usefulness.
A brand new kitchen can represent an organizational challenge but like most challenges it also represents an opportunity. The opportunity in this case is to set up your kitchen the way you’ve always wanted. You are not going to work the same in the new kitchen and there is no reason to automatically put things where they were or even keep everything from the old kitchen. Part of the reason you designed and built a new work space was to deal with the poor functionality of the old kitchen.
