Design Element #1 – Uncluttered Workspace

One of the worst traits that a kitchen can have, both practically and aesthetically, is to be cluttered. Not only does this make working in the kitchen more difficult, the appearance of a cluttered kitchen inspires no one who enters it, especially those who might have been thinking about cooking a scrumptious meal, but then decide not to bother due to cluttered workspaces.

How to Tell It’s Time to Install a New Kitchen

Renovating / By MileHigh / January 12, 2021 September 7, 2022

Kitchens have long been the heart of the home. They are where memories are made, meals are eaten, and families gather.

But there may come a time when your kitchen doesn’t bring you as much joy as it used to, and it might be because of some of these reasons below. Could it be time to have some kitchen renovations done?

The Countertops Are Looking Worse for Wear

Classic countertops were never made with the hardiest, most high-quality materials on the market. They were easy to scratch, burn, mark, and stain. If your benchtops look dirty and worn, no matter how much you clean them, then it might be time to start shopping around for new kitchens.

Fortunately, technology and kitchen artistry have come a long way. You can take advantage of almost-indestructible kitchen bench options like quartz and stone.

Your Tiles Are Chipped or Dirty

Sometimes when heavy pots or pans are dropped on kitchen tiles, they may chip or crack. These chips can lead to you cutting your feet on them if not taken care of. The grout between the tiles can also bevcome extremely dirty. An obvious solution to this would be to clean it or hire grout cleaners perth. However, if you are in the process of renovating, a new kitchen floor would elevate the design.

Your Cabinets Are Falling Apart

Hinges don’t last forever. And the holes for the screws holding those hinges in place can also grow larger over time. All of a sudden, you’re left with wonky, loose cabinets and no possible solution.

At this point, you may look around your whole kitchen and realise that a lot of wear and tear is starting to show. Now might be the ideal time to contact a cabinet maker about upgrading your kitchen.

Pet Relocation When Renovating or Moving

Renovating / By MileHigh / December 20, 2016 October 3, 2019

Some pets just love travelling in a car. Think dog, head out the window, tongue flapping in the wind, eyes closed in a heaven of new scents. Some pets are terrified because they think they are going to the vet. According to Removalists Perth regardless of which category your pet fits into, a long distance trip, as part of the removalists operation, maybe over a couple of days, might affect your pet worse than you think. Here’s a few tips to help with your pet relocation. Rabbits, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and more exotic pets like snakes, tarantulas and turtles can get quite stressed when they are taken from their comfort zone.

Stay! Good Dog!

Taking your pet on shorter car trips is a good preparation for the up coming move. You can build the distance so that the animal gets used to spending lengthy periods in the car. As well as walking the dog, take it with you on errands so it gets used to leaving and returning. You will have to decide on whether the pet will travel with you or whether you use a professional pet relocation company on moving day.

Pet Carriers

Work out your pet’s favourite travel style. Some pets move straight to their safe spot in the car, while others feel more secure in a carrier. If your pet frets, then a carrier is the best option. You can hire a suitable one or buy one if you feel that’s a great way to carry your pet in future. Don’t spring the carrier on the pet on moving day. That’s a disaster and not very fair to the pet and will cause it even more stress.
