Another GOP presidential debate is in the books. And much like the wide-reaching choices in candidates, the wide-reaching choices for the right cabinet color or finish for your kitchen remodel are no less daunting, confusing or in some cases…downright terrifying. It becomes a true “residential” debate to find the right cabinet color or finish.

We all know that the kitchen remodeling experience can take many twists and turns along the way.

If you are like me, you have had enough of this year’s winter…cold, snow, sleet, cold, snow, freezing rain, snow, cold, sleet, snow, cold, cold, cold. You’re feeling it, right?

We are starved for order and organization in our lives, and nowhere is that more present than in our kitchens.  Current kitchen design trends are showing more open looks and storage, meaning organization is more important than ever.

Whether you are a fan of soccer or not, chances are you have heard about soccer’s World Cup starting next week in Brazil. For soccer fans, a little something known as World Cup fever will soon strike with a vengeance, consuming us anywhere from 2 weeks to almost 4 weeks (if you are one of the lucky ones to make it to the finals and raise the Cup).

Normally we would all quick to be answer with an emphatic “NO!” But that’s not the case when you are talking about just checking in to see how everything is going. Most would be afraid to call, thinking they would only “rock the boat” or “stir up something”.

How many of us design the kitchen with our kids in mind? We’re busy in the kitchen and all of sudden a little hand goes up or tugs on our apron asking to help. How sweet! Regardless, when we are in the kitchen we want them close by anyway, whether it is just to keep an eye on them or get them involved in a meal or other baking project.

In my house we all gravitate to the kitchen...for meals, snacks, homework, bills, you name it. We spend a lot of time there.

With 6 people in my home, it can be like our own mini (or not so mini) electronics show...

They would say… • Why did you let the kids use the cabinet drawers as step stools? • Why did you put those scorch marks in the countertop?

While The Hunger Games books and movie had their moment, offering a much different challenge than one would expect, the Hunger Games we face every day are still very much relevant and in the moment, albeit on a much, much different scale.  However, those frenzied moments of feeding ourselves, our families, friends, kids soccer teams, holiday guests...

A great kitchen design is only as great as it is easy to use.

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. But at the end of the day, it is still people buying from other people and establishing that connection with one another.

While it’s fairly obvious that kitchen design needs to include space for all things cooking, it is not always so obvious that the kitchen is not JUST for cooking. What else goes on in there?

Great experiences come down to details, and nothing requires more detail than molding. Lengths, angles, cuts and joints can make or break the finished look of any cabinet molding. A Frederick, MD kitchen remodeling client came to our Frederick, MD kitchen showroom looking to add cabinet molding to his existing kitchen.

Don’t be fooled by the room size! Bathroom remodeling is a tricky endeavor that must be approached with the same great detail and care you would towards any remodeling project. Here are a few things we have learned from our own bathroom remodeling work that we can pass along to help:

An important and simple thing to consider while designing your kitchen floor plan is….how many cooks do you have? Just me! Just me!

A green bathroom is more than just being an eco-friendly space. It is the color many people are choosing to paint their bathrooms in. The rise in use of green color palettes has been growing rapidly according to studies done by the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA).

When it comes to using in tile in your bathrom, consider mixing tile sizes and looks. Large tiles tend to make a bathroom or shower appear longer. Smaller tiles provide detail and in some cases a focal point for your bathroom space.

Most often seen in bars and exterior applications, copper kitchen countertops are not out of the question for those who really want it. Its distinct look can provide an exciting focal point to any kitchen. Here are some basic things you should know about using copper in your kitchen:

Black kitchen countertops. Open Shelves and Glass front cabinets. Darker Paint tones. According to a recently released trend report, Zillow sees these 3 kitchen design trends taking off in 2014.

We all get caught up in it….the emotional rollercoaster of highs (all new stuff!) and lows (it will cost how much?) when planning a kitchen remodel. But taking time to consider all the options and costs is one of the most important things you can do before finalizing a new kitchen design.

One of the questions I get asked most often is, “Where do I start?” With a kitchen remodel or a bath remodel there are so many elements to coordinate it can be a challenge to find your starting point. Do you choose the cabinetry first or is the countertop more important? Is the tile a good place to start or should I begin with the appliances, the w...

How do our 5 senses connect with today’s bathroom design trends? Hear, Smell, Taste, Feel and “See” it for yourself:

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.
