More than just a kitchen...

The kitchen is the heart of the home, where everyone wants to hang out. Make it a warm, comfortable space with furniture, accessories and decorative cornices and pillows.

Remodel Now, Relocate Later

Don't wait until the last minute to upgrade your home. Why not start early so you can enjoy it too. Now is not the time to try to sell your home, however you want to be ready when you decide the time is right. De clutter as much as possible! Take room by room and make a list of priorities for each one. It can be overwhelming to think of the home as one project. If you break it down into several smaller projects, the end seems more obtainable. Choose rooms that will make a difference in your home value as well as improve your quality of life. For example the kitchen is the soul of the home. Home cooking or take out, it doesn't matter which mold you fit because either way everyone ends up hanging out in the kitchen. As a result, when looking for a new home your first instinct is to look at the kitchen so make it great!

Sophisticated stripes for any age.

Whether you are decorating a nursery or master bedroom suite, age should not always be a factor in your selection of design materials. Of course it would not be wise to use an Italian marble on the floor of a baby's room, however a sophisticated stripe for a baby boy would be adorable when combined with animal accents. The stripe carpet featured in the photo is a durable stain resistant carpet with a 10 year "no exclusions" stain warranty. The carpet and fabric cornices are available in a variety of color combinations. Stop in our showroom and let us help you find your perfect floor or window treatment.

Style = Value?

Add stylish hardwood floors to your home and add value! Hardwood has been a growing flooring category for the past few years. The trend is the wider the plank and the more distressed, the better. We have handscraped woods, exotic species like African Padouk and Brazilian hickory, even reclaimed wood from the rafters of barns from the 1800's. Typically people assume they have to sacrifice style to get the best value for their money. Not true. Hardwood flooring will add value to your home and look fabulous at the same time.

Trash to Treasure

I have many customers that completely remodel their kitchen or bathroom and want to know what to do with their used cabinets, appliances and fixtures. I have found an answer for your old windows, ceiling fans or faucets they could find a second home instead of the local dump.
