The fountain of youth is real. It is called a well-designed kitchen. After you get through laughing at me, let me give you my argument based on years of experience in space design.
- Physical ramifications. A well-designed kitchen can change your life from a physical standpoint. Most cabinetry is not well-designed when it comes to physical use of the cabinetry. Drawers and Pull-outs are game changers. Think about how many times you get down on your knees to get an item out of your lower cabinets. Logically, it only takes one time to get down and not get up and the cost is extraordinary and the wear and tear on your body is greater. A well-designed kitchen changes everything. Imagine never having to get down on your hands and knees again. Imagine your back being saved or your knees and hips not being compromised. Will that add years to your existence? I think so.
- Emotional ramifications. How often do you go into your kitchen and feel sad because it is just not up to par. This is big. Because we are holistic people, our body, soul, mind, and emotions are all connected. Having “downers” in your life has an immediate impact on your life. By creating a space you love each time you enter will lift your spirit and add years to your life. I think so.
- Social ramifications. Do you hesitate to entertain because you don’t want people to see the obvious inadequacies of your kitchen? There is an alternative. Let Cabinet Makeovers come to your home and evaluate your space and your desires, put them down on paper where you can see them, and then talk you through the process and costs involved in creating your dream kitchen. It is medically proven that people who have a healthy social life outlive people who don’t. Will this add longevity? I think so.
- Financial ramifications. Injuries that occur while operating in a limited capacity are avoidable, and consequently the cost is avoidable. A well-designed kitchen will add tremendous value to your home. It is not an expenditure – It is an investment. Staying home and cooking in your beautiful kitchen will save you tons of money over time. Trust me, when you love your kitchen, staying home will be your first choice. If you have more money, you can use it to stay healthier. I think so.
- Spiritual ramifications. People who are physically healthy, emotionally healthy, socially healthy, and financially healthy are far more likely to be Spiritually healthy. Hey, this will create the longest longevity of all – ETERNITY WITH CHRIST.
Have a blessed day.
