Welcome to the 'Dear Kitchen' blog that I just started. My name is Carla Gaeta. I have been in the kitchen and bath design field for over 14 years. My experience spans Europe, South America and, of course, the US. I have decided to start this blog to share with people some of the knowledge and experience I have accumulated. On it, you will find help and ideas for your kitchen and bath questions. Kitchen and bath remodeling is excruciating. Most people
do it once in their lives, if that. Why...because it is overwhelming and confusing. Most people are really afraid to make choices, do not know what their design style is, and are petrified to work with a contractor and/or designer.

The key is to gather information, get recommendations and do some research. This blog will give you tips on how to work with the trades, what are the cool trends in design, how good design can make or break the project, and how to stay on budget.

It is so much better to have knowledge before the project starts than to find out their was a
better, cheaper, and more attractive way to do the job after it is installed.

So, grab a coffee, take a seat and follow me on the journey of a lifetime....

Don't worry, it will be fun!!
