Every so many months I come across yet another article or report about what home improvement projects add value to a home. Almost every time the list includes upgrading or improving your kitchen as being one of the biggest things that improve your home’s value.
But put the dollars aside for a moment. Not only can it increase the monetary value of a home, but it probably will increase the livability of your home as well. I come from an Italian family and whenever there’s a party at a home, the crowd always congregates to the kitchen. Do you notice that it doesn’t matter how nicely you setup your living room or dining room, people always end up in the kitchen?
It’s the gathering place and central part of any home no matter how big or small. My wife has been wanting to upgrade our kitchen for years so when I watched this Coldwell Banker On Location video about kitchen upgrades on a budget, I was surprised to see there are some affordable things that can be done to enhance one of the most used rooms in our house.
Take a look for yourself at the video below and other videos in this kitchen remodeling series and perhaps you’ll be inspired to increase your home’s livability as well.

Putting money into the kitchen is the best investment you can make in your home. So many people are underwater and wouldn't even consider putting another nickle into their homes. But if you plan to stay in the home it will be well worth the money and effort. Good suggestions on how to do it inexpensively!
Great information I will be posting the series to my facebook everyday. Putting money into your kitchen is the best investment you can make for your home for resale or if you plan to stay in the home.
