A Budget Green Kitchen Design (from The Kitchen Designer)

[Kyle Riley]

Going green in your kitchen doesn't have to be hard on your wallet. Check out the work of Susan Serra aka The Kitchen Designer. Her resourcefulness is impressive!

(From The Kitchen Designer) "We've all heard that, and if you haven't, you will, that materials for green kitchens can be more expensive than non green materials. So, what, then, for those who need to be on a budget, I'm talking a bona fide small budget, and you want to be green, and you also want a wonderful kitchen? Here are options! I recently wrote about my kitchen, but in this context, it's a different story!

Do what I did

Our intent with this kitchen remodel, in one green philosophy, was to be resourceful. At the time we did this, the green drumbeat was yet to be heard in a significant way, but my husband and I have always been extremely resourceful throughout our lives together, so this was a natural project for us. We needed a new kitchen, had some expensive family events coming up, and could not also do the "dream" kitchen, so, we chose to be resourceful and budget oriented. I clearly remember saying these words to myself, as I contemplated our lack of a budget:"You're a designer, design something!"
