Down through the ages, kitchens have served as a traditional gathering place for families. A long- standing symbol of warmth and comfort, the kitchen continues to serve as a very important part of today's home, combining more traditional functions with newer ones. If your kitchen is beginn- ing to look seedy or dated, you may want to spruce it up a bit with some simple, but relatively inexpensive redecorating. You may even want to launch a full- scale renovation project if your kitchen has failed to keep up with your growing family's needs. Before deciding on which approach you want to take, it's a good idea to study some redecorating and remodelling publications. Most convenience, grocery and book stores carry home improvement magazines. It's also a good idea to visit kitchen showrooms to see what's available. Home shows are also an excellent source of ideas. You should also think realistically about your needs. Will a new coat of paint and some minor, inex- pensive changes do the trick? Or do you desperate- ly require more cupboards and extra storage space? What about an expanded eating area? Do you want to incorporate extra living space? Do you want to in- clude a family room or a desk/study area into the kitchen? Don't Forget Your Budget Cost is a key issue, so 640-4151, 985-7077.

Harry Tripp always keep a realistic budget in mind before you go too far in the planning stages. Remember that in- itial renovation estimates can be somewhat lower than the final cost of the project. You can save money by doing some of the work yourself -- but leave the complicated tasks to the experts. If you're on a shoestring budget, you can still create a new look without breaking your bank account. In many cases, a coat of paint and some new wallpaper can breathe new life into a Kkit- chen that's become drab and dated. If you have adequate storage space, but desire an updated look, you can have your existing cupboard doors refaced or replaced. This costs less than replac- ing them entirely with brand new units. New flooring can also give an older kitchen new life. Today's flooring comes in a variety of materials and textures, with something to suit every taste and budget. Easy-care wooden floors are also becoming a popular option in kitchen renovations. Before making a final choice, think carefully about how the types of floor- ing you like would fit in with your kitchen. Also consider the volume. of traffic the area will receive; kitchens demand flooring that is practical, durable and easy to clean.
