In Design: A Kitchen Renovation

My husband and I just remodeled our kitchen. We did concrete counter tops. They are fabulous. The beauty of stone with incredible durability and we got to put things in the concrete that really express who we are.

You should read: The Kitchen by Spechtenhauser (ISBN 3764372818) before you proceed any further. It starts in the past and tells you what pitfalls to look out for today. If you know German, take a look at Otl Aicher: Die Küche zum Kochen, order it though amazon.de though, the German reprints are much cheaper than your American antique editions from 1983.
After seeing the mess a friend of mine did with his remodelling, I noted down all the pitfalls. You can find the latest version at http://kueche-et-al.blogspot.com under the topic Kücheneinrichtung (I am sorry, but it is in German, maybe the bablefish can help...).
Good luck with your remodelling!

Brett's post is excellent! I hope I love our new kitchen 10 years on as much as he does.

We remodeled our kitchen earlier this year, and faced a lot of the same challenges you do with space planning. We blogged the entire process on our food blog -- something our regular readers seemed to love all out of proportion to its actual value -- including the meals we cooked in our temporary kitchen. There's definitely something to the notion that people read blogs out of a sense of voyeurism. :)

The Kitchen category on our blog covers most of the remodel posts, in case you're surfing for ideas, along with guest links to some of our Flickr sets.
