If there was ever any question who has the best women’s gymnastics team in the world, it was answered with a resounding exclamation point at the Rio Olympics this week by our "Final Five".

Another GOP presidential debate is in the books.

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 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.

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:

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...

..you would look so much nicer if your trim could match the finish of your faucet. And I just learned you can.

While granite countertops have long been a mainstay in the kitchen, more and more consumers are turning to quartz (engineered stone) kitchen countertop surfaces. And when you get down to the comparisons, it is pretty simple to see why. For natural beauty and variation, most will argue that nothing beats a granite kitchen countertop. The unique char...

So how do you know what parts of style will still be cool in ten years, and which will...

Got a kitchen renovation project in mind? Great! But there’s a big difference between having something in mind, and having something set down on paper.
