  • We sanded and painted the existing cabinets, I love how fresh and bright they are now. The light reflecting backsplash tile adds sparkle and glam!
  • This beautiful Kohler sink is much more functional than what they had. The taps were repurposed from the old kitchen as they were in great shape. Counters were done with 12x24 floor tiles... a great option that is very cost effective.
  • The appliance garage door looked dated so we removed it and painted everything out... so much better!
  • The kitchen before, dark and not enough contrast with the wood floors. The laminate counters were also dark and dreary...
  • Although the cabinets were good quality, they had pitting that my parents didn't like. We planed them down for a fresh clean starting point.
  • I think they like it!

There is nothing better than that!

Design & Décor: Can you share with us some innovative bookcase and exposed storage shelving in you homes/ office?

We are designing a new conference room and want to have some of our selections and books stored along the walls. We have access to many materials and would like to draw inspiration from hometalk users as to how far can take our design. I personally like the idea of a continuous line for a shelf system and would like to see others as well before we build out the space.
