GUT V. UPDATE? It’s THE question most people ask when they want to upgrade their kitchen. Fortunately the answer is you can do both. Gut what no longer serves you and update the things you still love about your kitchen.

The key is to work with a professional who knows how to repurpose parts of your kitchen in a way that works seamlessly with the new parts of your kitchen.

Start with your overall functional and aesthetic goals. Make sure to write these down so you don’t forget as you get further into the project. Next, look at a variety of ways to achieve your goals.

Gutting gives you the most options.

Updating allows you to maximize what you have in a new way.

If you work with a good designer, most people won’t know if you gutted or updated your kitchen. Pick the option that best achieves your goals.
