Kitchen Remodeling
A Seattle, WA area house with a large, well designed fully outfitted kitchen is always priced higher because there is never a shortage of families who wish to buy such homes. That's because kitchens these days have turned into family and activity centers where the family gathers to have meals, children sit down to do their homework, and even for other family friendly uses like setting up an art work project, or even watching TV together. Kitchens are also quickly turning into social and entertainment centers, and people think nothing these days of walking into a friend's kitchen, grabbing a chair and making themselves comfortable! No matter what style or size of kitchen you have, you can always remodel a kitchen to give it a breath of fresh air.
There is no kitchen that doesn't benefit from a kitchen island. If your kitchen remodeling plans do not include a built-in kitchen island, then it absolutely must make it on the list. A smaller kitchen will benefit from the extra counter space that an island offers without encroaching on the limited kitchen space. Your kitchen island can also be installed with split levels to encourage seating, for use as a dining area. Appliances and even your stove can be fitted into your kitchen island saving more space. If you have a cramped kitchen, create the illusion of space by bringing down a portion of the wall or the entire wall, and installing an island to act as a break off point between the kitchen and living areas. In a larger kitchen, an island has unlimited possibilities. You can have a large circular island that doubles as a dining area, conversation center, entertaining area and even a bar. When it comes to choosing a design for your island, most people go with the coordinated look that's safe and aesthetic, but you can add a dramatic look to your kitchen by using contrasting colors and textures.
Simply by installing a new cabinet or counter tops, bringing in an island, opening up a few windows and adding coordinated appliances, you can give your kitchen an entirely new look. A kitchen remodel is one of the highest ROI investments you can make in your home with most people recouping more than 90 % of the cost of renovation in resale value. Since the kitchen is such a visible part of your Seattle, WA area home, investing in its appearance and functionality offers greater value for money than other home improvements.

Moving to KC (looking to buy a home in Parkville). The house we are considering is new construction with about 1200 sq ft of unfinished basement. What is the ball park square footage price to finish with framing a bedroom, installing a bath and the rest as media room with bar? I realize this is general, but I want a general idea of costs. Thanks so much. Look forward to hearing from you.
