![]() There were many who ended up remodeling (or replacing what they had, but still needed materials) in Texas for this single event alone, also due to burst pipes. I was basically forced to remodel due to a burst pipe thanks the Feb 2021 Texas winter storm. We’ll also replace some of the appliances as they, too, are mostly original & while they still work well they’re coming to the end of their useful life. It’s also the main door to our covered porch and yard so we need a more durable, weather-proof material add in-floor heating in the keeping room as it’s dominated by windows and can get quite chilly in the dead of a Canadian winter. We will also do the floors: likely in a wood-look porcelain plank, running it from the foyer, hall, powder room and laundry room into the kitchen & replacing the hardwood in the keeping room as it’s badly beaten up with things being dropped on it. Backsplash is a definite just not sure what material yet. We love the two-tone Corian counters: a thick slab, lightly speckled black top and bottom sandwiching a creamy speckled beige which beautifully matches the cabinet colour and may choose to replace only a few sections if they can’t be refreshed sufficiently. The rest of the cabinets will be resprayed & reglazed. Frequent use has slightly warped the ones under the sink & one shows an annoying flaw in the middle of the door. No plans to change much of anything except a few of the cabinet doors. We’ll be working with the same company who did the original installation, grateful they’re still in business. We are planning a refresh of our 22 year old traditional but still beautiful custom kitchen.

When it comes to opening up a kitchen to the outdoors, 18% reported making their kitchen more open in 2021, compared with 20% in 2020.Īnecdotally, this shift in attitude toward openness reflects what some homeowners have been saying throughout the pandemic: that when multiple family members are at home, the need for separation becomes more important.
