You didn’t mention if you want to do all the drawing yourself or have something that figures stud spacing and such for you. I bought Punch design a couple years ago. It was nice to just drag out a wall and have the program place the studs and stuff. But it took too much work for me to get the details right. I’m not doing house drawing right now, more furniture and cabinet stuff and have found Google’s SketchUp free to be GREAT for drawing up furniture plans. (Yes, It’s the same Google that you do internet search on. Just Google “SketchUp” on Google As with any CAD software, you will have to learn how to use it for any type you buy. But once you get the hang of how it works you’ll notice they all have similar functions. Good luck! -- Pete |

I am not looking to change any walls just rebuild the cabinets and possibly change the kitchen layout. I have used the free programs online but it generaly doesn’t allow you to play with cabinet sizes. I will be building all the cabinets myself so I need something that will allow for some play for sizes. Thanks |

Yellowtruck, I’m re-modeling my kitchen and I’ve used Google Sketchup to design most of my cabinets. It has a little bit of a learning curve, but once you learn the basics you can design just about anything. I’m glad I took the time to learn it. Also, you can download various appliances and cabinet hardware for free from Google Warehouse (accessible right from the software) to get a good idea of what your finished kitchen will look like. Here is a link to my blog post regarding Sketchup: http://markbriley.wordpress.com |

I was overwhelmed by the several stone options available for kitchen counter tops and don’t really know that much about stones. I found this great free online tool that helped me with remodeling my kitchen: https://housetipster.com/virtual-rooms/list |
