The kitchen is the heart of your home. The major hub hosts more gatherings and handles more foot traffic than any other room in the house. The warmest of kitchens welcome mealtime, family time, and social time — from early morning breakfast with the kids, to late-night cocktail parties with friends. A long-term investment in the value of your home — one you can recoup later in life as a major selling point — you get back what you put into your kitchen.
