At Capital Kitchen Refacing, a kitchen remodeling company in Yardley, PA, we know and understand that no matter how we describe it, it’s completely different when you actually see it. Our imaginations can only span so far, and there is no way of knowing that what we see in our mind’s eye is the same as what you’re seeing in yours. That is precisely why Google Sketchup is so important for our clients so they can visually see just what their kitchen is going to look like as a finished product.
Imagine
Perhaps after seeing the result, what you initially wanted is no longer appealing to you. Maybe it sounded better in your head. It happens all the time when your inward sight is not exactly how it appears in reality. Maybe the sink looks better there, but what about functionality? Having it all laid out for you may just be the best way to line it all up.
By seeing your kitchen as if the changes were already made, you can put yourself in the picture and see yourself cooking, getting dishes out, washing out the dog bowl, etc. You can see the space between the refrigerator and the stove or cooktop. You can apply the Kitchen Work Triangle, as explained in our last blog. Your kitchen layout is important, and if you are making changes, wouldn’t you like to see what it will look like before you commit to such a huge change?
Visualize
If we are tearing out the walls and soffits for you during your kitchen renovation in Newtown, PA, the result may not be something you can even properly conjure in your imagination. Let’s face it, you’ve lived in your house quite a long time and that wall has always been there. Trying to picture your house without it is like trying to see yourself without your nose. You can try and imagine it, but how can you, really?
See
One of our customers wanted to see what it would look like if we relocated their cooktop from the island to the back countertop and added a stainless steel hood fan. It can be hard to picture, especially if that’s the way your kitchen has always been. Once you see it, maybe it’s exactly what you always wanted.
Reality
As a custom cabinet builder as well, we at Capital Kitchen Refacing use Google Sketchup to help show how your cabinets will look. Here, we have designed a bookcase window seat just as the customer wanted, and here is the finished result.
