Demo Underway...

The demolition is complete on the new kitchen remodel. Once the installation gets started, the whole thing will come together quickly. Here's the kitchen at the start of the project.




Here's a picture of the demo in progress.




Design Tip: When choosing your faucet, keep the sink in mind. Mono faucets, one handled designs, are becoming popular, but most sinks are still made with three or four holes for faucets. The mono faucets internal parts tend to be larger than the internals of a faucet with two separate handles. Make sure the faucet you choose will fit the sink you choose.





This is the faucet and soap dispenser made by Fusion Hardware, both in the brushed nickel finish, are the perfect complement to the Macadamia finish on the cabinets and the cabinet hardware.


More to come!!

A New Kitchen Remodel!

We have a new project starting in a few weeks! While we're waiting for everything to arrive and construction to start, I'll fill you in on what has been happening the past few weeks.

The client originally contacted us about refacing her existing cabinetry. She was getting new appliances and her cabinets were worn and the finish was coming off. While talking to her about the kitchen, she explained a few problem areas- like no trash can space in the kitchen and her new wall mount oven would not fit in the current cabinet. So I went back to the office and worked up a quote for replacing the cabinets. The client liked the price and decided to go ahead and remodel the entire kitchen.

So now we are replacing the cabinets, the sink and faucet, countertops and adding a new backsplash as well as replacing the laundry room cabinetry. The client picked a very nice raised panel, mitered door with an ivory finish ( named Macadamia, yummy! ). The island will be in a black finish. There is also a buffet area that will be in black with ivory bookcases on either side. The buffet will look like a piece of furniture. All the cabinets will have an arched skirt on the toe kick. The sink will be farmhouse apron front sink.

Here is a picture of the design concept:











Can't wait to share more with you...
