How a Kitchen or Bath Remodel Can Help You Achieve Your New Year’s Resolutions
Every year, we set ambitious resolutions — get organized, spend more time with family, save money, or finally take time for ourselves. But somewhere between January and June, life gets in the way. What if the answer to staying on track wasn’t in a planner or fitness app, but in your kitchen or bathroom remodel? At Ram Remodeling in Bloomington, MN, we transform living spaces that truly support the lifestyle changes you want to make.
1. Resolution: Get Organized — Start with the Kitchen
Disorganization is often the root cause of chaos at home. A remodel can completely reset your space for clarity and functionality. Think:
Pull-out pantry systems
Vertical cookie sheet storage
Drawer dividers for utensils and spices
Lazy Susans to maximize corner cabinets
Imagine moving your sink under the window, tearing out non-load-bearing walls, and rebuilding the space around your daily needs.
Fact:
A study by UCLA’s Center on Everyday Lives of Families found that cluttered kitchens increase stress and reduce productivity. Remodeling with custom storage helps eliminate this.
2. Resolution: Help Others by Taking Care of Yourself
You can’t pour from an empty cup. A remodeled kitchen that makes cooking joyful — or a spa-like bathroom that restores your spirit — helps you show up stronger for others.
Give homemade jams or meals from your gourmet kitchen
Recharge in a bath with chromatherapy, hydro jets, and integrated music
Create a space where you and loved ones want to gather and connect
3. Resolution: Learn Something New in a Better Environment
Skills like bread baking, canning, or herbal tea blending are much more accessible in a kitchen that’s built to inspire. Likewise, a remodeled bathroom becomes a peaceful oasis for practicing mindfulness, meditation, or yoga.
The tools and layout of your space influence your habits — remodeling gives you the platform to grow.

4. Resolution: Spend More Time with Family
Open-concept kitchens with large islands, breakfast bars, and family seating turn cooking into a collaborative experience.
Let the kids:
Learn to chop, mix, and bake
Sit and do homework while you prep meals
Bond over daily routines and rituals
When your kitchen feels inviting, mealtime becomes family time, not just a chore.
5. Resolution: Save Money and Reduce Debt
Yes, a remodel is an investment — but one that pays dividends. Upgrading to energy-efficient appliances, smart lighting, and water-saving plumbing fixtures lowers your utility bills. Cooking at home more often also reduces dining-out expenses, which can save families thousands annually.
Over time, these efficiencies make your home cheaper to operate and increase its resale value.
6. Resolution: Enjoy Life More — In Every Room
Your home should energize you, not drain you. When your kitchen is organized, your bath is relaxing, and your family is connected — life is simply better.
A well-planned remodel helps you:
Enjoy more peace
Stay physically and mentally healthier
Maintain positive daily routines
Live aligned with your long-term goals
