Our “quick” kitchen update turned into a 3-month saga of takeout and regret. Next time? I’m following Mejia Construction’s kitchen remodeling guide from the start.
Trends vs. Practicality
Open shelving looks great on Instagram, but in our dusty house? No thanks. Mejia’s page emphasized custom cabinets with soft-close hinges—a sanity-saver with kids.
Local Quirks
New Castle’s older kitchens often have odd corners or knob-and-tube wiring. Pros know how to work around them safely.
Highlights:
Stain-resistant countertops (because red wine happens).
Task lighting over islands (why did we skip this?!).
Lessons Learned
Plan for trash/recycling bins (ours ended up in the garage—oops).
Test paint colors at night (our “sunny yellow” looked neon under LEDs).
