RED OAK RETURNS!
What’s next for this mighty hardwood? Well, a couple of interesting trends are developing.
I LOVE METAL
Who doesn’t love a little metal vibe? We sure do!
Metal doors are an awesome accent to your new kitchen. They add that “pop” of commercial inspiration, and create a bit of rock and roll in your new space.
TFL, YOUR NEW BFF
OK, so TFL is unfamiliar to you. But is it, really? THERMALLY FUSED LAMINATE or TFL is the term used for today’s vastly improved melamine. Think of TFL as today’s latest and greatest laptop vs yesterday’s melamine, which is like yee ole typewriter. Both get the job done – but one is much more technically advanced.
MAGNIFICENT MAPLE
What do you think of when you hear the term Maple? A big leafy tree that turns its leaves to bright orange and deep red, perhaps? But did you know that Maple is known for its hardness and minimal grain pattern, making it an ideal choice for today’s more contemporary themes?
ATTENTION LIP GLOSS LOVERS: YOU LOVE SHEEN, SHINE AND SHIMMER
Perfect as an accent or for a whole room, Acrylic finishes are the epitome of “wow factor.” So go on, let your glossy goddess come out, and get some “wow” now in your new kitchen or bath.
CHERRY PICKING
An uber-luxe pick for your home, Cherry features a warm color variation, which mellows with age – groovy.
PAINTED CABINETS STILL REIGN
White is the most marketable color, states John Riha in his piece entitled “Kitchen Remodeling Decisions You’ll Never Regret.” You’ll always find it atop the National Kitchen and Bath Association’s annual survey of most popular kitchen colors. It simply doesn’t go out of style.
