Instead, we want to transform the bathroom space into something soothing on every level, from design and function to comfort and rejuvenation. So, what’s trending in bathroom design to make that happen? Here are 5 popular categories and ...

March Madness. For basketball fans, it can be a source of some March gladness. But more often, March Madness creates more March sadness. Just ask anyone who had Michigan State winning it all. Or had Xavier, Kentucky or West Virginia going further than they did. And they call it the “Sweet” 16? The pain…is….real. So your bracket is busted. The harde...

When the leaves start to shake off the trees and the weather starts to cool down, you know it’s time for the fall season to start. Especially when everything everywhere you go is pumpkin flavored. You’ll want to spend more time in your house, cozy and relaxing. But that won’t work if your house isn’t, in fact, cozy and relaxing.

A properly lit kitchen has become a critical element in kitchen remodeling. Like good icing on a cake, good lighting draws us in and helps us engage with the space (while we eat the cake of course!). And with the variety of lighting available today, deciding on lighting is just as important as choosing your kitchen cabinets, countertops and applian...

It’s out with the old, and in with the new. Especially around New Years. If your New Years resolution is to remodel, then you’ve come to the right place. Here’s the trends you need to ditch in the new year, and a little bit of what you might consider using instead.  

The beginning of the year is a time to reflect on the past months and see how far you come, and see where you want to go. If you’re planning on setting goals, it’s hard to think when you’re feeling cluttered and stressed.  The state of our homes affects us more than we might think. A messy house means a messy mind. And where do we spend a lot of ti...

Education plays a key role throughout our entire lives. It begins in early childhood and if we embrace it, it stays with us our entire lives. College affords the opportunity to develop a real focus around what we hope to do, want to do and sometimes are even a little afraid to do. We believe the training pipeline starts early, so we have worked to ...

St. Patrick’s Day is just about a week away. And while we welcome the green of spring slowing seeping into March in advance of this Irish celebration, what we don’t want to see is the green of envy in our clients wishing they had known more about what popular in kitchen trends as they prepare for a kitchen remodeling project. So before anyone taps ...

Traditional Valentine’s Day gifts are so passé these days. Chocolate? Delicious of course but that moment on the lips is a lifetime on the hips. And who needs that? Flowers? Beautiful but they don’t last forever…and when they start to wilt and have to be thrown out. Awkward! Jewelry? Okay, admittedly that’s a little tougher to compete with. But unl...

Times and styles are constantly coming and going, but for bathrooms cultured marble vanity tops continue to be a popular and in many cases timeless choice. By combining its durability and affordability with the high end appearance of veining and blended colors found in granite and natural stone, you create a look that rivals even the highest end lo...

Whether it is showcasing decorative items or organization in the kitchen, here are some ideas on how you can utilize ...

After 40+ years, my parents are starting a kitchen remodeling project. While there have been some minor updates along the way (cabinet refinishes, appliances, countertop and floor), it was finally time to pull the trigger. Mom has been the driver of the project but you can see my father start to come around as he sees designs, colors and samples of...

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).

A quick search of the internet tells you that this is no ordinary topic. Over 83 million results in Google. Wikipedia discussions that more than double the discussion length of far more newsworthy events and topics. Endless visual images and data. With studies that show we use approximately 15 billion rolls of toilet paper a year in the U.S. alone,...

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”.

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?

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.
