Hiring a designer can help with more than just picking out fabrics, furniture, cabinets, etc… while you might like to fix up your home and make all of the decisions, a designer can keep quite a few headaches from happening… mistakes that you may make with measurements, scale, proportion... As a designer myself, I’d like to point out that we are trained professionals that work with these aspects every day.

I look at it this way, I am perfectly capable of doing my own taxes, there are plenty of programs to assist me, and I get by just fine. But who knows the possible deductions I could be getting if I had consulted an accountant… plenty of people are very capable of designing their own homes, but a little help never hurts.

Not sure if it was mentioned in any of these posts, but you could change out the hardware on the cabinets. New pulls make a huge difference. You could change the whole look of the kitchen by painting the cabinets and putting in more modern pulls. This kitchen has great potential!
