However, if I had to pick one part of my job that I preferred over all the others, it would probably be working with purchasers to design their custom kitchens.<\/span><br style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\" \/><br \/>\n<br style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\">I think there may be several reasons for that &ndash; for one thing I like good food and have been invited to dine with many of my aspiring gourmet chef customers once they moved in, but I believe my thinking goes a little deeper than just the prospect of sitting down to a great meal.  My experience has been that a kitchen is the one room in the house that always seems to bring purchasers&rsquo; passions to the surface and asking them how they want their finished kitchen to look can be like turning children loose in a candy store.<\/span><br style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\" \/><br \/>\n<br style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\">In many homes the kitchen has overtaken the family room as the place where families gather to talk about their day and it&rsquo;s often the area where guests tend to congregate when you&rsquo;re entertaining for the evening. It may be for these reasons that manufacturers have so many available options that can allow you to create a room that resonates with your personality and sense of style.<\/span><br style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\" \/><br \/>\n<br style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\">If a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\">kitchen remodeling<\/a> project is in your future, you&rsquo;ll have much the same opportunity that so many of my custom home customers have had &ndash; you can start with a blank canvas and design your dream room. I would encourage you to sit down with a kitchen contractor or designer to discuss your options and magazines, design centers, and websites can be great places to see and read about the latest trends. <\/span><br style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\" \/><br \/>\n<br style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\">Unless you recently hit a lottery, budget can be a consideration with many kitchen remodels, but by putting some thought into your design, you can end up with a beautiful room regardless of your price range. Keeping in mind where your existing utilities are located when doing your new cabinet layout can save a lot of money on rough-in costs and speaking of cabinets &ndash; all wood <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/rta-kitchen-cabinets\">RTA cabinets<\/a> can be a great way to have high quality cabinets at very economical prices. Your kitchen contractor should be able to show you other options for making the most of your remodeling dollars.<\/span><br style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\" \/><br \/>\n<br style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\">Take some time to plan before rushing into the project and just like many of my homeowners &ndash; you may be able to make lifelong dreams come true.&nbsp; RTA Cabinet Store has been a major contributor to my success in the remodeling industry.&nbsp; Their pricing, order turnaround times, and staff have made it a lucrative partnership for me. <\/span><br style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\" \/><br \/>\n<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is a great letter that we received from one of our best contractors.&nbsp; You can tell he really enjoys his job! : I&rsquo;ve been involved in a lot of enjoyable tasks during a construction career that&rsquo;s spanned 25 years and I&rsquo;ve been fortunate that I chose an occupation that has allowed me to make<a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/a-letter-from-one-of-our-contractors-the-joy-of-kitchen-design\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">&#8220;A Letter from one of our contractors &#8211; &#8220;The Joy of Kitchen Design&#8221;&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[4],"amp_validity":null,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":163,"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19\/revisions\/163"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
