Kitchen & Bath

Identify type cabinets, basins, faucets, and appliances:

Deep cabinets along kitchen wall
Two deep sinks
Brands of faucets, etc.

The kitchen and bath are two of the most important rooms of the home. These are the rooms that have the highest resale value.
Cabinets go into both kitchens and bathrooms. They can be purchased pre-fabricated or custom made.
Consider the types of countertops for both the kitchen and the bathroom.
