In addition to offering reviews of home improvement companies as well a forum through which home improvement contractors may advertise, TotalHousehold.com offers advice for do-it-yourselfers and tips on what to ask for when you redo your home. 
For example, if you are redesigning a small kitchen, you want to be able to utilize and maximize all available space. Any kitchen requires three major components: storage, lighting, and appliances. A strict budget and limited space do not need to hamper your redesign; these conditions just mean that you have to creatively use what room you do have.
Small and compact appliances will enable you to have a big arsenal of kitchen supplies despite the lack of space. Consider having a 24 inch deep refrigerator, rather than a 30 inch deep refrigerator, if this is a viable option for your home. Create an island in the middle of your kitchen; it will provide you with extra storage space and give the kitchen a focal point. Hang your pots and pans; this provides you with extra storage space and adds a homey feel to your kitchen. Install deeper counters; they may hold more appliances and increase available work space.
These tricks will help you add depth and character to your small kitchen. For more information, visit TotalHousehold.com.
