Cool Tools

13 years ago

I thought it would be helpful to start a post of different links for tools that can be used for design, etc. The link below is to Armstrong and allows you to change cabinet door designs and colors, floor colors, and wall colors. I thought it was very simple and easy to use, and very enlightening.

Please continue this thread with your favorite tool link.

I'm a huge fan of Google SketchUp. It's a bit more involved, but I found it invaluable when designing my kitchen. I had my whole ground floor sketched and was able to do 3D walkthroughs. There's a warehouse of objects you can add. It's FREE!

I am a fan of www.floorplanner.com for floorplan design and 3d looks. I found it easy to use and post to GW. One tip, use fewer colors when you do post to GW (I guess some people have slow connections? Not sure why, but that was the feedback I got the first time or two I posted).

Free.
