We know how stressful a kitchen remodel can be. The people who come into our showrooms are already feeling it before they’ve made any decisions or really have gotten a grip on the costs involved.

Floating vanities continue to be one of the more popular bathroom design trends out there, offering a custom look to even the smallest of bathroom spaces. These wall-mounted vanities create the illusion of more space in a tight bathroom with its’ open underside.

White and bright are back in kitchens after years of cherry cabinets and dark granite countertops, opting for the bright, fresh, clean look that white brings to any space.

Now retired designer Anne Hinte, formerly of Reico Kitchen & Bath’s Springfield, VA kitchen and bathroom showroom, was given the opportunity to work with a large 33’ galley kitchen space.

I was bowl-ed over! Dipping my hands under the faucet and into this cavern that was a glass bowl, I found myself eager to see how the water might turn and flow in this striking vessel.

It was perfect. A table for two. Soft music. Candle light and…..my new steam oven?
