Kitchen trends, splurging, and a feel-good story top the hot links

We are no stranger to kitchen trends at MK Remodeling & Design.

Whether you want the latest and greatest, or a throwback to a classic design, we are happy to accommodate your needs and give you the kitchen of your dreams.

As this article notes, more kitchens are incorporating shades of gray, built-in charging stations, distressed wood flooring, beverage centers, and colorful appliances. These trends allow homeowners to entertain comfortably while still retaining a style all to themselves.

When it comes to remodeling, sometimes “splurge” is treated like a bad word. We’ve talked a lot about staying on budget in this blog, but when it comes to getting the home of your dreams, don’t sell yourself short!

Getting something you really love, or adding high-end materials and/or features to your most-used places are good ways to splurge, as this blog says.

Splurging or not, most homeowners are looking to cut down on the mess during a remodel. Even the cleanest work requires some shuffling of furniture or appliances, and that’s where portable storage comes in.

Portable units offer a convenient, cost-effective way to keep your stuff protected and nearby during any work on your home. Read more about it here.

Feel-good stories are always a good way to kick off the weekend.

Chicago Bears standout Jared Allen and his charity are helping to remodel a home for injured Army Ranger Cory Remsburg, as azcentral reports.

Remsburg, who was honored at the State of the Union address earlier this year, should be able to move into his new home before Christmas.

Have a good weekend!
