(PRWeb) February 6, 2007 -- The end of the real estate boom has homeowners improving rather than moving, making remodeling resources more necessary than ever according to HomeOpinion.com, a community-driven kitchen improvement resource. According to a 2006 survey of 5,000 homeowners conducted by remodeling expert Dan Fritschen, homeowners are largely rejecting new home purchases and instead are remodeling their present residences.
Homeowners, on average, reported intending to remain in their current home for the next seventeen years, much longer than previous indications, writes Fritschen. HomeOpinion.com is meeting the increased demand for renovation and decorating information with a forum (http://www.homeopinion.com/kitchen/forum.php?tid=143&iname=Decorating-ideas-for-a-small-kitchen) on the subjects of small kitchen remodeling and kitchen decorating ideas.
The forum includes general kitchen remodel ideas and kitchen décor suggestions, such as:
Remodeling
•
New cabinets and countertops
•
Redoing kitchen floor
•
New hardware for cabinetry
•
Installation of space saving appliances
Decorating
•
Keep décor monochromatic
•
Pick accent color to draw toward the most pleasing part of kitchen
•
Place accent color on nicest appliance
•
Keep countertops as clear as possible
The forum also contains discussion of specific issues like kitchen remodeling costs and how to locate and choose items for a small kitchen, such as tables and chairs (http://www.homeopinion.com/kitchen/forum.php?tid=137&iname=Small_Kitchen_table_and_chairs_for_small_kitchen).
When asked about the 2007 housing outlook, Fitch managing director Robert Curran told the San Diego Union Tribune, "People are staying put and deciding to add an extra room or upgrade features of their existing homes."
A study conducted by Focalyst, gathering data from more than 30,000 consumers from the baby boom generation and older, found that the majority of respondents want to remain in their present homes for the foreseeable future and plan renovations or remodel during that time. Of that group, 73 percent say the kitchen is their most important room.
HomeOpinion.com offers homeowners a place to connect with each other, get new ideas and share kitchen improvement experiences online. Through the commonalities of their experiences, homeowners can more fully explore the kitchen renovation process.

Where To Get Inexpensive Women's Clothing
If you've ever gone out to purchase many items of clothing or even a whole wardrobe at once, you've probably seen how expensive women's clothing can be.

Fireplace Accessories - Bring Life To A Boring Fireplace
It used to be that the fireplace was the heart of the home. Not only was it the main source of heat in every home, the hearth was also a place to cook, to visit with family and friends, and a place to cuddle together on a particularly frigid day. Today, most do not use the fireplace as the main source of heat, but the fireplace continues to be one of the favorite spots of the home. It is around the hearth that many families celebrate holidays, take family photos, and gather near a gently crackling blaze to ward off the chill of brisk fall days and cold winter nights.
