‘Investment’ price

I’m planning to invest in a
new kitchen or bath? Does my new kitchen represent an investment in the
home I plan to stay in for a while or am I just looking to spruce it up
for resale?
- Likes
and dislikes
- How
is the new kitchen or bath to be used?
- Infrequently
- Day
in and day out
- Multiple
users
- How
does your kitchen or bath relate to adjacent spaces?
- Is
the kitchen part of a great room or is the bathroom in public areas
of the home?
- Is
the kitchen walled off from the living room and formal dining spaces?
- Is
it next to the family room or breakfast nook? Can you
combine spaces? These types of kitchens will need attention
to their styling, as they’ll need to look as much like a
living space as it does a kitchen.
- Will
you be getting new appliances or using existing ones? If
so, have the new appliances been selected?
- Construction
constraints?
- Dreams
for new kitchen or bath?
- Time
frame?
