#Kitchen Remodel: Sources - The Inspired Room

Where did you find . for your new kitchen?

Wondering where to begin with a kitchen design project?  Where do I find things like hardware, lights, cabinets, tile, sinks and faucets or accessories? For an extensive remodel or an all new kitchen, you might want to consider hiring a qualified kitchen designer to make sure your kitchen is safe, up to code, functional and to help you avoid expensive remodeling mistakes. Remodeling can be stressful, expensive and overwhelming!

But with both of my most recent kitchen remodels, I was able to do the design work myself (since I left most of the appliances, electrical, plumbing and layout where it was) and then just worked with local contractors (a general contractor, a plumber, an electrician and painters and local or online suppliers) as needed to make the changes and updates I wanted on a reasonable budget and in keeping with the quality and style of my house.

Cheap or poor quality DIY projects or remodeling choices may not be worth doing if it lowers the value or quality of your home. As you make decisions, always consider your budget but also what impact your home improvement projects will have on the value of your home should you sell down the road. And over-remodeling or pouring too much money into a home you plan to sell may not make financial sense either. There is a balance there and all of our circumstances will be different.

My decisions or choices may not be right for your house or your budget, but perhaps it will inspire some ideas or resources you can use as a springboard, even on a larger or smaller scale kitchen project.

If you haven t seen the reveal of my kitchen remodel, you can find the kitchen remodel post here . 

For your convenience in this post (below), I ve spent a million hours (haha, ok not a million but it was a lot of hours) putting together a list of my specific kitchen remodel sources (my kitchen paint colors, finishes, hardware, accessories, lighting and appliances as seen in my kitchen reveal.) Hopefully this post will be useful to you and save me time searching for stuff later when questions arise.

If you might want to refer back to this post for future reference or inspiration down the road, you may want to pin any of these images as well favorites from the kitchen reveal post (you can use the convenient new pin it buttons that will appear as you scroll over each picture). 

You ll also find a links of some related posts below some of the sections, if you want to find out a little more detail on specific items that I ve written about. Everything may not be listed so if you have a specific question on a source and I haven t answered it here, feel free to ask in the comments.
