Kitchen Design + Green Kitchen Design Concepts

From material selections, cabinetry design, circulation decisions, appliance choices- designing a kitchen involves a myriad of decisions to be made.  But before you make these decisions, a more basic question is posed: What type of kitchen will suit your needs?  Are you looking to give your kitchen a simple facelift or an extensive remodel?  Are you an avid cook? Are you a lively entertainer?  Are you someone interested in green concepts? Questions of this sort should define the design of your kitchen, and this is where I step in to help.  Your kitchen should be a reflection of you and not the man or woman down the street.  Too often people do not challenge themselves in the design of their kitchen, and they end up with a kitchen design, while beautiful, is not a reflection of them and their lifestyle.

This class will assist you in breaking down the process of kitchen design and of course having a little fun. This class will be truly interactive and will inspire you with design concepts, material education, and green building concepts to apply in the design of your very own kitchen.
