Deterioration

A survey of the nearly 190,000 homes in Clark County Washington revealed that the median year built is 1992. Kitchens don’t last forever, and after several decades, you’re bound to see some wear-and-tear. If your home is still sporting its original kitchen design, you’ve likely noticed cracks, peeling paint, warped cabinets, and damaged flooring.

Did you know that Julia Child stood at 6ft 2in tall? Because of her taller-than-average height, her countertops were built at a custom 38 inches (compared to the typical 36in counter height). The average person spends an hour cooking every day, so comfort and accessibility matter.
