"Decision number one with any kitchen remodeling project begins with the cabinetry. Cabinets and cabinet accessories
set the tone and personality of the entire kitchen and in some cases, up to 60 percent of the remodeling budget may

Winchester, Va., one of the nation's leading cabinet manufacturers.
"Today, many manufacturers offer semi-custom cabinet lines and coordinating accessories," said Edwards. "These
cabinet lines are quite popular with homeowners because you can specify sizes and interior fittings for a customized
look at an affordable price."
