Our goal is to make your kitchen remodel as comfortable as possible. After establishing rapport with our client, we used our ingenuity to redesign and build their ideal kitchen in this stunning 10-foot-ceiling Brooklyn home. The warm tones of wood, quartz, and rich greens strike the ideal balance in creating this appealing design. How did we achieve this look? The Backsplash Our client wanted a simple kitchen remodel in the shaker design, but she also wanted to include green. Initially, we proposed green cabinets to create a bold green look in the kitchen. The main objective was to incorporate our complimenting colors while keeping a feeling of lightness. After going through a number of ideas and 3D prototypes, installing as many cabinets as we could without overpowering the kitchen was our goal of optimizing space. We determined that the best way to brighten the space would be to install white shaker cabinets in addition to higher lumen recessed LED lighting. We decided that finding exquisite green backsplash tiles would be the best way to give it the desired green pop. After numerous searches, we came across a company called Mercury Mosaics. While there were many green backsplash tiles to choose from, we opted for the mercury mosaics bluegrass diamond tiles. We loved these tiles because its created an illusion of cubes but at times, diamonds. The pattern is an art of illusion and its really gave us the personality we were looking for. The Flooring of Choice The flooring of choice was made by our client. We wanted the floors to feel soft and natural while capturing every bit of warmth to balance the whites and the greens and bring them together. While we could’ve opted for wood look tiles or luxury vinyl plank flooring, we ended up going with a premium slightly distressed white oak engineered hardwood flooring from Floor and Decor. Accents Although the flooring and the backsplash brought most of the kitchen together, we were still missing the cherry on top. The hardware and maybe something else? We decided on thin profiled brushed brass hardware to give us that luxurious feel we were looking for every time we opened the cabinet. The cherry on top for us were the hand made quarter round oak shelves which really tied in the floors and cabinets together and gave us that final pop we were looking for. It truly added the perfect character for our client who is also a teen-fiction author of multiple books.

"The homeowners wanted a kitchen that reflected their personalities and cooking styles. Sophisticated but still elegant." designer Rodney Lee of York, PA. After designing a successful home office space remodel, our same client came back to us to discuss plans and possibilities for their kitchen renovation. After a few discussions with the client, we decided the overall design concept for their kitchen would be “Sophisticated Elegance.” The homeowners wanted a kitchen that reflected their personalities and their cooking styles. Sophisticated but still elegant. The space had to be extremely functional and the color scheme had to have a certain warmth that matched the rest of their home. The Medallion line has a wide range of architectural elements that helped us achieve that “Sophisticated Elegance”; curved/arched range hood, openings, valances, and corbels and trim. The “Sophistication” lies purely in the detail, the fixtures, the angles in the peninsula, and the changes in height and depth. We wanted the color scheme to be as warm as possible as it would be in a bright, elegant space. We considered two colors and ended up choosing Divinity over the White Icing. The grey tones in the marble backsplash tile kept the colors modern but warm. We used natural stone versus the more aggregated quartz to maintain the use of natural product and unpredictable patterns and natural elements. We also used a dark rich stain on walnut wood as a good break from all the bright painted finishes. Oak and walnut reflect the “heart” of Pennsylvania and was a great way to maintain the use of natural elements. The kitchen was divided into individual areas, each one focused on a particular need and/or function. My biggest challenge was transitioning the peninsula into the wet bar/hutch area while maintaining proper separation from the kitchen cabinetry and still tying it into the rest of the space. A wealth of storage solutions. •Desk Area. The client wanted a functional work area so we created a furniture look with ogee edging in the walnut, provincial toe space detail in solid walnut, and open display storage at top. The desk has plenty of storage. •Main Kitchen. We were able to open up this space by creating smart transitions and separations using custom Medallion products that cater to the clients’ lifestyle. Each piece is functional while staying true to the sophisticated elegance design throughout the home. ◦Main Cabinetry: Medallion Gold Wellington Maple Divinity Classic Paint ◦48" uppers around range area; glass eclipse mullion-arched hood design ◦Mixer lift base left of range; drawer warmer with custom panel •The main work station, or power spot, can hold up to five work stations comfortably. The cook can work within the confines of the peninsula design and access everything needed to prepare complete meals in 1-2 steps. Every cabinet has deluxe roll-out trays and/or drawers, making this kitchen fully accessible. The client wanted to be able to display and stage different pieces and concepts during holidays and gatherings. We chose to go with the more modern Mission arch above the wall oven and fridge, which complimented many of the hard angles and distinct lines used in the kitchen space. My favorite part of this kitchen remodel came about just by listening to our client talk about how much they adored their daughter’s artwork. After numerous conversations, we landed on installing an artwork wall that was designed as a conversation piece and provides the ability to install different works of art.

Plumbing issues rarely occur at a convenient  moment. When selecting whom to install plumbing in Melbourne homes, one must find someone who is licensed, readily available and has the right to tell you the costs upfront before work is commenced. This guide includes what to look at prior to hiring a plumber melbourne and common hiring mistakes to avoid.
Explaining how to choose the right plumber Melbourne homeowners
Why choosing the right plumber matters
Poor plumbing repair may be more expensive to repair than the original problem. Experience, licensing, and communication are also all issues that impact on a job being done right the first time round. A few minutes checking credentials will save later on down the line. Difficult hiring choices may result in:
●    Repeat callouts: Incomplete repairs, which fail once again in the matter of weeks, necessitate a visit by another tradesperson, and additional expense. ●    Hidden charges: Unclear price estimates that become unexpected bills after the project has begun. ●                Property damage: Rushing or unlicensed work that causes damage to pipes, fittings and adjacent walls and floors.
Check licensing and qualifications first
All plumbers operating in Victoria have to have the valid licence issued by the Building and Plumbing Commission. Licensing validates the formal training as well as legal responsibility of the work done. This is checked within a few minutes prior to securing any job. Pre-hiring ensure the following before the hiring:
●    Licence number: A registered plumber is able to issue a licence number which is confirmed by the appropriate authority. ●    Insurance coverage: Public liability insurance insures the property in the case of damage at the time of plumbing work. ●    Trade specialization: Gas fitting and hot water work need to be covered by certain qualifications other than, in general, a plumbing licence. ●                Membership bodies: The association with established industry organizations is usually an indication of continued training and accountability benchmarks.
Ask about availability and response time
Plumbing emergencies do not follow business hours. An explosion of a pipe or gas break should be addressed immediately, irrespective of the days or the time of the day. Skill is no more crucial than availability in the matter of picking a plumber. Some useful questions to ask before making a reservation are:
●    Emergency availability: Checking that the callouts are not provided on weekends, evenings or during public holidays with long delays. ●    Response time: Inquiring about the speed at which a plumber can commonly arrive to address an emergency in the house under contact. ●    Call-out fee: An explanation of whether or not a call-out fee is charged and whether or not the fee is waived when the work is carried out. ●                Service area: In this case, it will be necessary to check whether the plumber visits the given suburb of Melbourne on a regular basis.
Understand pricing before work begins
The most frustrating aspect among the plumbing customers is unclear pricing. An honest plumber discusses prices and alternatives with him/her prior to commencing any job. Written quotes insure the homeowner and the tradesperson. Fair pricing practices normally involve:
●    Fixed quotes: An open quote properly quoted and then inspected, not an hourly estimate. ●    Written breakdowns: Detailed expenses showing labour, materials as well as any other expenses prior to beginning of work. ●    No pressure tactics: Time to study the options without requesting a decision to be made immediately on-site. ●                Transparent extras: All other costs including after-hours costs would be explicitly known prior to the job.
Common errors one should not make when employing a plumber
Hasty judgments made in the plumbing crisis tended to come back to bite. The failure to do basic checks may lead to low-quality workmanship or high prices. Most frequent hiring issues are avoided with a brief wait before making a booking. Frequent mistakes include:
●    Skipping licence checks: Recruiting solely on price without first ensuring they are properly licensed and insured. ●    Accepting verbal quotes only: Accepting oral estimates rather than writing down, making itemised price explanations. ●    Ignoring reviews: Finding a plumber without examining customer feedback in the past few reviews on different independent review sites. ●                Overlooking guarantees: Not enquiring of work done, whether it comes with any part or labour warranty.
A look at the frequently asked questions
What is the average price of a Melbourne plumber?
Prices are depending on the type of job hence a written estimate is always advisable.
Is a call-out fee always charged?
Not necessarily; lots of plumbers cancel a charge after the job is done.
Is there a plumber who can do gas fitting?
No, the other licence qualification is a separate gas fitting licence qualification.
Is it necessary to base a hiring decision on reviews?
Yes, there are some patterns in the quality of reliability and workmanship according to recent reviews.
Is emergency plumbing available on weekends?
There are numerous certified plumbers who have emergency services available on weekends and after hours.

The client wanted a functional work area so we created a furniture look with ogee edging in the walnut, provincial toe space detail in solid walnut, and open display storage at top. The desk has plenty of storage. •Main Kitchen. We were able to open up this space by creating smart transitions and separations using custom Medallion products that cater to the clients’ lifestyle. Each piece is functional while staying true to the sophisticated elegance design throughout the home. ◦Main Cabinetry: Medallion Gold Wellington Maple Divinity Classic Paint ◦48" uppers around range area; glass eclipse mullion-arched hood design ◦Mixer lift base left of range; drawer warmer with custom panel •The main work station, or power spot, can hold up to five work stations comfortably. The cook can work within the confines of the peninsula design and access everything needed to prepare complete meals in 1-2 steps. Every cabinet has deluxe roll-out trays and/or drawers, making this kitchen fully accessible. The client wanted to be able to display and stage different pieces and concepts during holidays and gatherings. We chose to go with the more modern Mission arch above the wall oven and fridge, which complimented many of the hard angles and distinct lines used in the kitchen space. My favorite part of this kitchen remodel came about just by listening to our client talk about how much they adored their daughter’s artwork. After numerous conversations, we landed on installing an artwork wall that was designed as a conversation piece and provides the ability to install different works of art.
