nowhere else in the home must design and function marry as

harmoniously as in the kitchen. The most-used room in the house is also the one where we spend the most work and leisure time, the one that gets the most scrutiny from potential buyers and the spot where most renovation dollars get spent.

A minor kitchen remodel costs around $21,000 and has the potential to recoup nearly 73 percent of that expense at the time of resale, according to Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs. Value Report. A major job averages around $58,000 and can recoup about 68 percent of the renovation costs.

“When you’re spending that kind of money on a remodel, you want to choose upgrades that accomplish multiple objectives, including improving efficiency, functionality and beauty,” says Ross Vandermar, national product manager with skylight manufacturer Velux . “Sometimes that type of upgrade will warrant a greater expenditure, but others are easy and relatively low-cost to make.”

So what are some of the top kitchen upgrades that provide the most beauty and functionality for your investment? Here are five:

1. CountertopsIn any kitchen, the countertops are both a significant design element and a functional necessity. Countertops act as work and storage areas, provide staging and serving space, and have a major impact on the

overall look of the room. Replacing lower-cost countertops such as laminate with higher-end materials like granite can enhance the usability and look of your work surface. Even if you opt to replace older laminate with the same material, your kitchen can benefit from a fresh face and improved material quality.

2. Lighting and ventilationIllumination and fresh air in a kitchen not only allow you to appreciate the beauty of the room, they ensure a safer, more comfortable work environment. Under-cabinet task lighting, pendants over a breakfast bar and upgrading an old box-style fluorescent with a more attractive, energy-efficient style can enhance the usability and look of a kitchen. Adding Energy Star-qualified skylights can also boost the appearance, appeal and efficiency of a kitchen. If you opt for venting skylights, they can help release hot air, moisture and odors while admitting additional light.

Accessories like decorator blinds with remote control ensure you can adjust the amount of light that enters your kitchen from a skylight while dressing up your decor. If a traditional skylight isn’t right for your needs, you can still enhance the room with natural light; tubular models like Velux’s Sun Tunnel skylights use reflective tunnels to deliver light from above and are usually less expensive. Add an optional light kit and the units provide light at night as well as during the day.

3. CabinetsImproving cabinets can be a costly prospect, but one worth the investment since they are not only a

major design element in the kitchen, but essential to the room’s efficiency and usability. You can find a range of options for upgrading cabinets, from total replacement with custom-made cabinetry to simply resurfacing or repainting existing cabinets.

4. Hardware and fixturesThink of cabinet hardware and faucets as the jewelry of your kitchen. Swapping out dated or worn hardware - including knobs, handles and hinges - is a fast, easy and cost-effective way to change the look of the entire room. Plus, you can improve functionality by choosing larger handles that are easier to grasp and replacing old-style hinges with modern varieties that close silently and smoothly or are completely hidden behind the cabinet door. Replacing the kitchen faucet is also an easy, relatively low-cost upgrade. Opt for a pull-out spray head or touch-free model and you can also enhance the

usability of this key kitchen feature.

5. Appliances Your car couldn’t function without tires and a steering wheel and no kitchen can serve its purpose without the right appliances. If your appliances are more than 10 years old, chances are they’re starting to look worn and dated. They’re also likely less energy efficient than newer models, many of which are now made to meet Energy Star standards. Appliances account for nearly 20 percent of the energy consumed by an average home, according to Energystar.gov.

Upgrading a kitchen is a great way to enhance the value and your enjoyment of the most-used room in your house. Choosing improvements that add beauty and efficiency can help ensure you get the most for your renovation dollars.

Don't just wipe your feet on this season's hot trend

DOORMATSDONE RIGHTCan’t quite put your finger on what’s missing from your

home’s front porch? Well, don’t worry about your finger – it’s your feet that matter.

It may seem like an extraneous detail, but a doormat can be a powerful piece of décor for instantly making a house feel like a home. The mat is one of the first details noticed when you, or your guests, arrive at the house. First impressions are impor-tant, so your doormat should reflect your unique style and the style of your home’s interior. It should also be clean and func-tional as well as attractive.

For those do-it-yourself geniuses out there, try making your own mat with twine or some other thick, string-like material. All you need is a jumbo crochet hook and some pattern inge-nuity.

Whether you want to go the inexpensive route or com-pletely classy, the doormat is to your home what the finishing flourishes of frosting are to a cake – not complete without them.

Q. What’s the history of your company? With offices and showrooms around the world, Granite Transformations offers new and exciting alternatives to traditional countertops, backsplashes, floors and more. The first Granite Transformations franchise opened in 1996 in Perth, Australia. Consumer response was overwhelming, and we’ve grown across Australia and New Zealand, and then into the United States in 2001. Now, Granite Transformations has nearly 100 showrooms across the U.S., and we’re adding more showrooms every year. In 2004, the company began U.K. operations and is planning to grow throughout Europe.

Q. What makes your product special? Granite Transformations brings a fusion of the world’s finest granites, combined with advanced manufacturing skills, to produce a strong, permanently sealed surface that’s backed by a lifetime warranty. From kitchens to bathrooms, fireplaces to bars, granite gives you a sleek, sophisticated look. The experts at Granite Transformations will do it for you in a way that makes sense and accommodates your needs. Installation is quickly, honestly, and with the utmost professionalism. Your new countertops are fabricated in their shop so that none of the time-consuming mess occurs in your home. On installation day, they are already finished ready to install. Your beautiful new – heat, stain and scratch resistant – countertops are permanently bonded to your old ones. A Granite Transformation to a standard size kitchen countertop and backsplash is typically completed in just one day.

Q. How do you take care of it? This mold and mildew resistant material is amazing in showers, on vanities or tub surrounds. There is no special maintenance or cleaning needed with a Granite Transformations surface. Installation is incredibly fast as the material is installed over your existing tiles. You get a new look in two to three days. A full scale kitchen remodeling, where cabinets are removed and new cabinets installed, can take weeks or months to complete. Compare that with kitchen cabinet refacing. By refacing your cabinets instead of replacing them, you will save time, aggravation, money and wear and tear on other kitchen elements, such as the floor and countertops. With cabinet refacing, the project is often completed within two to four days, and the dust and dirt is kept to a minimum.

Q. What makes your company stand out? Our revolutionary product line has been extensively tested and proven to be heat, stain and scratch resistant. The surface makes cleaning easy and you can cut your vegetables right on the countertop without fear of leaving cut marks. You can even place a hot skillet right on the countertop.

Because there are no grout lines, you have no fear of bacterial build up or dirty grout lines. Granite Transformations’ unique slabs are cut exactly to fit your existing old tile or Formica style countertop. Using special adhesives, the slabs are adhered directly to the countertop surface. While each project varies depending on the size of the space to be transformed, the installation of a Granite Transformation standard size kitchen countertop counter and

backsplash should take approximately 1 to 2 days. Because there is usually no demolition involved, there is minimal disruption and mess. Our expert consultants listen carefully to your needs, and their experienced installers finish the process quickly. They even back it up with a lifetime warranty.

Call Granite Transformations today for a free in-home consultation or look online to see the incredible variety of styles and colors or stop by the Spokane Valley location.
