The History Of Kitchens
In Michigan, as in other places, today’s kitchen is a completely different room from what it used to be. This is true in both appearance and function. In order to understand how we use the kitchen today, let’s examine its evolution:
Evolution of Kitchens
Before the age of electricity, running water and modern appliances, there was no kitchen, per se. There was a hearth for cooking, perhaps a table or cutting board for preparation, and a dining area in a central gathering place. At the beginning of the 20th century the kitchen came to be defined as a separate room for food preparation. The kitchen continued developing its independent identity into the 1970’s and 80’s. Technological advancement introduced new appliances, which constantly expanded the square footage needed in an average kitchen. Generally, the kitchen was hidden away due to the fumes and clutter caused by food preparation. There was nothing visually attractive about the kitchen, so home owners used it only for preparation. Dining was done in a separate space.

Today’s Kitchen
Today it’s all different! Homeowners have changed their cultural habits, and kitchens have become more attractive than ever. The kitchen is now the center and most important part of a home – the central gathering place. Small or large families alike gather in or around the kitchen for various activities, whether it’s grabbing a snack near the island or children sitting at the dining area to do their home work while their parents chop a salad. And, when entertaining a larger party, the island/peninsula area acts as the buffet table for guests to gather around.
Our eating habits have also changed. Families don’t dine together everyday anymore, and it’s very likely that each member of the family has a completely different diet. Frequent smaller snacks, rather than large meals are often characteristic of most busy teenagers and young adults.
In addition to cultural and living changes, the components of the kitchen have developed significantly. There is no reason to hide unattractive kitchen cabinets and appliances anymore. On the contrary – most homeowners love to show off the kitchen because it’s so beautiful. Cabinets, countertops, flooring and appliances look more like pieces of art than food preparation devices.

Basement Remodeling
At Custom Michigan Builders Inc, we believe your basement should be an extension of your Michigan home! In fact, it is an additional floor of your home, which should be used for living space. Those that have had their basements finished by our company agree that finishing your basement is a valuable investment.
The space you create can be used for many things. Some of the most popular would be: a space for your children to play, entertaining business associates, family and friends, or just a place for you to unwind from your long day. We believe that a well-designed basement should accommodate all of the above!.
What Homeowners Need To Know About Basement Remodeling
The easiest way to add a new room or rooms to your home is to better utilize the space you already have. Basement remodeling can be more economical than building an addition, because, with the walls, floor, ceiling, and utilities in place, your space is already about 30% finished. Basements are the lowest cost living space you can add to a home. Also, since you’re building within the existing envelope of the house, you don’t have to worry about zoning issues such as setback from property lines, height restrictions, or solar shading of your neighbor.

Yet, before you even consider contacting a remodeling contractor there are some important things to consider about basement remodeling:
Safety
Give special attention to the heating and ventilation system. Proper ventilation will keep basements from feeling damp and stagnant. When your home was first built, the odds are that there were few if any registers or vents installed in the basement. When you remodel your basement, you need to think about the need for good air circulation, adding openings where necessary. You’ll also have to include a return air duct, but it’s important that it be located far from the furnace. Otherwise, it may suck dangerous furnace exhaust fumes back into the house
Design
Think carefully about your family’s needs ‘ now and in the future. When you design keep those changing needs in mind. A playroom now will need to become something else in a few years. Plan for it and you won’t have to do a complete overhaul again. You want to work with a company that has a qualified design person. They can transform a basement into a lower level.
