Don’t overlook other areas of your kitchen when planning a renovation; the room can be utilized for much more than just cooking.

Keep in mind your goals for the new kitchen, including how you want to use the space and what your family’s routine is. If you have pets, consider creating a dedicated space for their food and supplies. The Pet Feeding Center comes with a pull-out cabinet at the top to hold food, leashes, and toys. A toe-kick drawer at the bottom of the unit is the perfect place to keep the food bowl. It can be closed when your pet isn’t eating, keeping your floor cleaner and cutter-free.
