There's no denying that in real estate, kitchens can make or break the sale of a home. Gone are the days of the typical 1950's kitchen hidden behind a restaurant-style swinging door. Today's kitchens are the now main focal point of the home. Friends and family come to gather for dinner, drinks, home-work or just to hang out.
