While kitchen cabinet accessories are largely a personal preference, there are a number of accessories that are a must for every kitchen. This includes a pull out trash cabinet, preferably with two bins so you can utilize for trash and recycling and eliminate your trash can. Drawer organizers for cutlery and cooking utensils are also very popular and offer multiple options in drawer sizes as well as stacked, sliding organizers to maximize drawer storage and organization. A narrow base cabinet, especially at 9", can benefit from being utilized inside for baking pans, cookie sheets and cutting boards. The bigger the kitchen gets the more options you can consider, including pull out storage for everything from spices to tall pantry cabinets, charging drawers and more.

When it comes to determining bathroom remodeling costs, the general rule of thumb based on studies by the NKBA is that you should expect to spend 5% to 10% of the current value of your home. Ultimately, how much you spend on your bathroom remodeling project is completely up to you. Ask yourself “Why are you remodeling?" If you are selling the home, you may want to consider spending less on your bathroom remodeling project or using in stock cabinets to move quickly and re-coup any investment. If it is going to be your dream bathroom, spending 10% on your bathroom remodeling project may or may not be enough. In any instance, consider your investment and these questions: • Will any other rooms be involved or affected? • Are you keeping any fixtures or other items? • Will you be moving or adding any plumbing? • Will any switches or outlets require new wiring or positioning? • Is a new floor needed? The more yes’s to the above questions, the greater the likelihood that the cost of your bathroom remodel will be higher.

Determining remodeling costs is often guided by the value of your home. Most will say that you should expect to spend between 5% to 10% of the current value of your home, and that will certain vary by the room you decide to remodel or the scope of your remodel. A straight pull and replace of existing cabinets and design might save you money versus a complete change in design or room. Ultimately, how much you spend on your remodeling project is completely up to you. Even spending over 10% on your remodeling project may or may not be enough to get you the kitchen of your dreams, but if it is your forever home you might see the value in investing more. According to National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), studies show that cabinets and hardware make up close to a third of your total cost (29%), followed by installation, appliance and countertops. Comparatively, for bathroom remodeling NKBA studies show that installation (20%) is the largest cost from the project, followed closely by cabinets and hardware, fixtures, faucets and plumbing.
