Speaking from one passionate food lover to another, I am here to tell you that a new kitchen is within reach now more than ever before. I started designing kitchens when times were thriving- people were living in excess- throwing every appliance and two islands into their kitchens. I was designing in LA then and relocated to Sawhill Custom Kitchens in
There are numerous reasons why attaining your dream kitchen is smarter, quicker and makes more sense than ever. For one thing, the state of the economy has given us new reasons with lower interest and quicker turn around. Secondly, we are now shifting our spending closer to home, supporting the local community. And lastly, we are preparing our homes and spaces for longevity- no more bouncing around to bigger and better- let’s be happy right where we are!
The economy has taken us on a roller coaster ride. At this point, it is finally advantageous to take out a loan, invest in your home, and save time and money while doing it. Interest rates are at new lows. Contractors have gone back to pricing that we haven’t seen since Y2K- and the good ones are actually available! They are eager and willing to start on your new kitchen. With that eagerness comes improved customer service and quicker project completion.
Reduced prices and lead times are also available on that custom cabinetry you’ve been dreaming of. Rebates on appliances, countertops and other materials are being offered like never before. Are you ready to entertain in a beautiful and functional newly remodeled kitchen? Wait no longer!
The shift in the economy has also shifted our concern to where our money ends up. Investing in local products and people not only betters the local community, but is environmentally green as well. Here at Sawhill, we take pride in the fact that we keep our products within reach. We have three cabinet lines, all with different price levels, and all made within a 500 mile radius- one of them is only an hour away! Locally made countertops, tile and other materials that are extremely unique and well-crafted are also available. Your new kitchen will not only cost you less right now, but you can give back to your community as well.

Beyond being financially and locally within reach, a new kitchen should literally be within reach. With all of the latest gadgets and accessories, it is easier than ever to make your gourmet kitchen your “Sous Chef.” When I’m cooking, I like everything at my fingertips. When I’m designing, I get into the routine of the client so that I can make sure everything is at theirs. For Baby-Boomer foodies who are looking to age-in-place- ergonomics, heights of appliances and ease-of-use should always be considered. Now that people are staying in their homes longer, making kitchens uniquely functional should be a top priority.

The list of why now is the best time to remodel could go on forever… I’ve never had so many clients interested in gardening, composting and getting back into their homes and back to the basics- quite the change from five years ago. True foodies like ourselves can all appreciate the shift! We’re seeing the same trends in restaurants- chefs are growing their own veggies, supporting local producers and spreading the organic love… Why not bring this trend into our own homes? Isn’t it time for you to attain your “Kitchen Within Reach?”
When you’re ready, you can find me right down the road at Sawhill…
