Sedona Kitchen Remodel - A 90's Makeover

Someone you know is living in a home with a 90's kitchen that has never been updated, and someone painted all the walls brown, even the ceiling.  You like it BUT...How can this kitchen and great room be brought up to speed and make it feel and function like the spaces of today?  This kitchen once had old appliances, countertops, plumbing fixtures and a split level island that blocked the view to the greatroom and the view to the inspiring out doors.  Here are some remedies for starters.

• SINGLE LEVEL KITCHEN ISLAND.  There is often a debate about split level islands and single level islands.  They each have advantages.  The split level island hides the mess, while the single level island gives more usable area for cooking and entertaining.  In this case more space and the ability to entertain and cook at the same time won out.  By makeing the countertops into a single level there was a noticable increase in space to cook and space to entertain guests.
• MODERN KITCHEN APPLIANCES.  The appliances of the 90's have come a long way.  For example, ovens now have convection cooking as a bonus, so you have even temperatures throughout the oven.  Speed cook ovens have more that just microwave featurees, they can broil, bake, keep things warm depending on the mode you select.  So you can have two ovens in a wall that give you all the function you may ever want.  Dishwashers are very quiet these days and do a better job of getting your dishes clean.  Gas and standard electric cooktops are being replaces with induction cooktops, because the induction technology is faster than as a micro wave, has more temperature control that gas, has faster response time than gas, is safer than gas, and saves more energy than gas or electric.  No, it's not faster than a speeding bullet!
• CONTEMPORARY INTERIOR DESIGN.  Sedona interior designers are suggesting color and material choices that more natural in nature.  Chiseled stone walls, natural white field colors and gentle accent paints help to make a timeless look.  Clean, simple lines also help to define the space and make the style sustain itself.
• OUTDOOR LIVING IN SEDONA.  Outdoor living in Sedona Arizona is a must. This dining room is carefully located near the patio for great indoor-outdoor living. The opening floor plan makes the space feel large and bright.
