DIY Kitchen Measuring Template

While you are “Staying at Home” To Remain Safe, You Can Still Start Your Kitchen Remodel Process. Here’s How.

During these challenging times while we are all trying to distance ourselves to stay safe, you can still start the process of your dream kitchen remodel by sending us your room measurements.

In the past, some clients have attempted to measure their space for us but I have found that they just don’t know how or what to measure to enable us to get started without our own site visit.

Measuring is Easier with this Template

So, here is a Kitchen Measuring template that shows you how to sketch it out, where to put the measurements you get and some notes to help make sure you add everything we need (and nothing more).

1. Print the File 

Print out the file (right click with your mouse and select print): 2 graph paper pages (one blank for you to use and one as a guide) also included are measurements done on a CAD program for reference.

 

2. Draw the approximate shape of your room:

“L” shaped, “U” shaped,  a Galley, a rectangle or a square.  Then measure from the wall corners and place the doors and windows. Measure to the outside edges of any window or door trim. See example for how to show measurements so I can interpret your measurements.  Show adjacent room measures if you are planning to expand your kitchen. There are more “how to” notes on the sketch example. 

3. Send your plans to me:

Scan and/or Take a Picture of your final sketch and Text or Email them with your phone number to: Jenny@ultimatedesignkitchens.com  Or  Text 530-903-2229

Note: Do not feel like you have to sketch the room on the graph paper in scale. I purposely showed my example not to scale on the graph paper so you can see that it is just the written numbers that I follow when I draw it up in CAD. We can always get onto a screen share program so I can answer any questions if you send me a template that needs help.

Cheers,

Little things you can do to your old “in need of a face lift” kitchen cabinets to make them look unique! DIY Quick Fix

Changing the center panel of your cabinets can make an old kitchen look new again.

Another DIY idea for the small budget (short of doing a new kitchen design) that has big impact is to spruce up your old dingy cabinets, for the time being, by popping out the center panels of the wall cabinets and replacing them with any number of the decorative products mentioned below.  Or you can just paint the center panel (if it is flat) with a chalkboard paint to add an artistic and interesting place for art or grocery lists etc.. If you decide to replace the center panel with any hard material like glass, sheet metal,  lattice,  embossed metal tiles or resin panels, just to name a few, you will need to remove the cabinet door from the hinges first.
