CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT FIRST IMPRESSIONS.....THIS IS WHAT YOU SEE AS SOON AS YOU WALK IN THE FRONT DOOR!.....CATHEDRAL CEILING W/BEAMS, FLOORING, HOOD W/BACKSPLASH, LIGHTING, ETC......THIS PIC SAYS IT ALL!

WE DO ISLANDS IN DIFFERENT FINISHES QUITE OFTEN.....YOU CAN SEE WHY IN THIS PIC.....BOOKSHELF CAB. ON END WORKS GREAT.....ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL FLOORING.....NOTE HEAT REGISTER THROUGH TOE-KICK.

STAINLESS CHIMNEY HOOD OVER RANGE/COOKTOP IS ALMOST ALWAYS THE VISUAL "CENTER" OF THE KITCHEN.....ALWAYS MAKE THIS AREA POP BY USING GLASS TILES WITH UNDERCABINET LIGHTING.....RUN THE TILES UP TO THE TOP OF THE WALL CABS.

WE'VE BEEN DOING A GOOD AMOUNT OF APRON (FARM) SINKS OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.....THERE'S AN ABUNDANCE OF SIZES AND MATERIALS AVAILABLE.....THIS IS BLANCO'S "SILGRANIT" WHICH IS AVAILABLE ON ALL STYLE SINKS AND IN MANY COLORS......ALWAYS HAVE THE STRAINER TOWARDS THE BACK.....BE SURE TO BUY A SINK...

A SOMETIMES OVERLOOKED CABINET IS THE "TRAY-DIVIDER" CABINET.....WE USE THEM ALL THE TIME.....NOT ONLY FOR BAKING TRAYS BUT CUTTING BOARDS AS WELL.

TO MAKE TOP DRAWER FUNCTIONAL UNDER A COOKTOP, VARIOUS DRAWER BOX MODIFICATIONS NEED TO BE MADE..... DEPENDING ON THE "MECHANICALS" UNDER THE COOKTOP THE BOX WILL BE CUT DOWN, SLOTTED, ETC., ETC.....IN THIS CASE ONLY THE BACK RIGHT OF THE BOX HAD TO BE OPENED UP.

MANY TIMES A NEW KITCHEN FLOOR WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT ELEVATION (HEIGHT) THAN THE OTHER ROOMS.....BEST THING TO DO IS A NEW TRANSITION PLATE.....IT HAS TO BE FLUSH ENOUGH AND ANGLED PROPERLY TO BE COMFORTABLE ON THE FEET WHEN STEPPED ON DIRECTLY.....IT NEEDS TO BE THIN ENOUGH TO ELIMINATE STUBBING...
