			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1035" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;" title="tile counter tops" src="http://www.directkitchenremodeling.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/tile-counter-tops.jpg" alt="tile counter tops" width="249" height="332" />The kitchen remodeling industry is taking note of the whole “Going “Green” trend and making more home owners aware of environmentally friendly options to remodel their kitchens. Kitchen countertops have probably the most eco-friendly material options out of all the other kitchen components. Popular “green” choices include the following:</p>
<p><strong>Laminate </strong>– eco-friendly laminate means non-toxic glue was used to adhere a recycled plastic sheet to a formaldehyde-free substrate. Laminate is the most economical out of all kitchen countertops so it may be a more budget-friendly way to go green in your kitchen.</p>
<p><strong>Stainless Steel </strong>– stainless steel counters are normally found in commercial kitchens but now they are becoming more popular in homes. Durable and easy to clean, they can contain high recycled content and can be recycled for another counter remodeling project.</p>
<p><strong>Ceramic and Porcelain Tiles </strong>– made from clay, ceramic and porcelain tile is durable and can contain highly recycled content. You can also avoid waste because you are reusing existing materials.</p>
<p>For all your <a title="kitchen remodeling" href="http://www.directkitchenremodeling.com/ " target="_blank">kitchen remodeling</a> needs, discover the savings, service and selection at <a title="DirectBuy" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/ " target="_blank">DirectBuy</a> .

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-1013 alignright" style="margin: 5px 8px;" title="appliances-group" src="http://www.directkitchenremodeling.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/appliances-group.jpg" alt="appliances-group" width="309" height="200" />When it comes to kitchen remodeling, appliances are one of the most important things to consider. Kitchen appliances come in three major colors or types: black, white or stainless steel. While a lot of people are jumping on the trend of stainless steel appliances, still some prefer the traditional black and white options. The choice is entirely up to you but you should consider the following pros and cons of each before making a decision.</p>
<p><strong>Pros and Cons</strong></p>
<p><strong>Black Appliances</strong><br />
<strong>Pros</strong>: easy to clean, low maintenance, affordable price<br />
<strong>Cons</strong>: darker colors can make a small kitchen look even smaller</p>
<p><strong>Stainless Steel</strong><br />
<strong>Pros</strong>: adds value to your home, adds a sleek and modern look to your kitchen<br />
<strong>Cons</strong>: costs more than white and black appliances, high maintenance to keep looking like new</p>
<p><strong>White Appliances</strong><br />
<strong>Pros</strong>: makes any kitchen look clean and fresh, affordable price<br />
<strong>Cons</strong>: high maintenance (shows dirt easily)</p>
