The Value of Writing a Mission Statement or: How to Figure Out What You Want and Need in Your Kitchen Design
How? Easy. Write a Mission Statement.
Imagine this: You're standing in the middle of a busy, crowded store with kids hanging from your shirttails, and an obnoxious salesperson waiting for you to decide on....what? Choose an element, any element - flooring material, backsplash tile, paint colors. Something. It's always something, isn't it?
I'll tell you a secret: choosing individual elements is not what its all about. Choosing elements in concert with the rest of the kitchen is the key. No, scratch that - writing a Mission Statement is the key.
You're probably thinking, "Why do I need a Mission Statement?". All you really need is a new kitchen, right? Well, yeah. But....
The trouble arises when the relative newcomer to the kitchen remodel arena is faced with the innumerable choices available today. Thousands of ideas exist: at IKEA, at the local big box stores, at specialty stores, not to mention on the internet! There's so much available, and noone wants to make a mistake. After all, most of us have been looking forward to this remodel for a long time AND, if you're like me, you don't anticipate the opportunity to be able to do it again. Add to that the fact that (even with IKEA), none of this is cheap, it makes a mess and it disrupts your family as well as life in general for a protracted length of time. No wonder it's stressful!
