Trying to decide on a new kitchen faucet? My family recently replaced our old kitchen faucet with the new Moen MotionSense kitchen faucet. The hands-free functionality of it really impressed us, but not as much as it impressed the youngest member of our family.

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

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.

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:

Your kitchen might have been really cool in the 1970s. But it’s no longer the 1970s. Unfortunately, bold backsplashes, crazy colors, tons of dark wood, and laminate countertops aren’t really all that cool anymore. But don’t get us wrong. Some of it is still cool. So how do you know what parts of style will still be cool in ten years, and which will...
