Kayla Carter of Reico Kitchen & Bath in Wilmington, NC, designed a contemporary kitchen and primary bath. Both spaces feature Masterpiece Cabinetry in the Martel door style. In the kitchen, the perimeter cabinets are in a Frost finish, and the island is in Maple in a Wicker finish, complimented by Silestone Et Marquina countertops. In the primary bath, the vanity cabinets are also in Maple in a Wicker finish with Emerald Green quartzite for the vanity top and shower benches. Kayla shared, “The biggest challenge was reworking the existing space to create more room. We removed a knee wall and straightened the layout to make space for a larger island, which opened up the kitchen. My favorite part of this design is the Emerald Green countertops on the master vanity and shower benches. They pair perfectly with the green shower tile. I also enjoyed that the client was willing to step outside the box and choose combinations you don’t see every day.” Photos courtesy of Shoot to Sell Media.

Our clients had a dishwasher disaster in their 1950 s galley kitchen last year. The insurance company was sonly willing to pay about half the cost to rebuild. The clients also didn't like the dark, tight kitchen, and wanted to come up up with a way to open it up to the main room of their home. We took out the wall between kitchen and living room, while keeping the flow of the kitchen and saving money on pre-fab cabinets. We also put a large island at the end of the space, with open shelving above to display beloved travel artifacts. One secret - the stair down to the lower floor goes right beneath the island, leaving just enough space for some toy storage shelves on either side. We used hand-crafted Zellige tile for the backsplash, to echo the crafted quality of some of the Our clients had a dishwasher disaster in their 1950 s galley kitchen last year.

The first thing all agents and their sellers should address when preparing a home for sale is deferred maintenance. The truth is, there are many things that a homeowner may be willing to overlook that will raise red flags for buyers—sending them running for the hills. Even the most well-maintained homes typically need some repairs and touch-ups to get market ready. Whether it’s a deep clean to remove built up dirt in grout and scuffs on walls or there’s deferred maintenance that needs to be addressed, Curbio’s got you covered with quick and easy repairs and touch-ups. Repairs and touch-ups often see the highest returns of any home improvements because, without them, a listing may receive less offers, fail to pass inspection, or be sold at a discount “as-is.”

Jay and Katie of Jacksonville, NC have installed a huge rooftop/ground mount combination solar electric system with Green Solar Technologies. This grand 35.61 kW system includes 40 roof mounted SolarWorld solar panels and 4 ground mounted. That is A LOT of clean renewable energy! Jay commented that he appreciated the work ethic of the installation crew willing to work weekends to remain on track with scheduling. The solar process begins with a solar consultation to review your annual kilowatt consumption and design your custom solar energy system. Next, we bring you through financing and find the best arrangement that works for your budget and credit. After that, we inspect the property, obtain all necessary permits, and begin installation. Once installed, we receive permission to operate and connect your solar panels to the grid. With GST, everything is taken care of for you from start to finish.

French Country - Modern shine brightly together. Simplifying the textures in a shower often creates more elegance. French Country projects are known to lean towards white vanities. This particular client was willing to make that artistic step; peacock blue was chosen for this Master Bathroom vanity. The color adds a very happy feel to the space. There is a confusion that white actually makes a space happier. Here is a little food for thought; white is never just white. Every "white" has an undertone and with every undertone there is a feeling that will attach it's self to that undertone. White then bounces light off of it's self continually. Therefore, if the space is all white, the light never stops moving. Color is a fantastic way to create calm, inspiration, hopeful feelings and an uplifted environment in a room. The backsplash in this bathroom is a 4x12 antiqued subway. The countertop is a porcelain, Laminam product. Laminam rarely splits at install due to the way the product is made. As long as you hire the correct porcelain countertop installer, Laminam countertops are a home run and handle abuse well. Rustic pendants were installed to create texture in the space. 18x24 porcelain tiles flow throughout the bathroom to decrease in the grout lines..

As with many residents of the Armitage neighborhood in South Minneapolis, the owners of this 1940-built Tudor home love where they live. So much so, they were willing to commit to a large, whole-house remodel in order to stay put. Castle worked diligently with these homeowners to help them realize their ultimate goals for their home. By redesigning the first-floor layout, Castle was able to create a much more open space. Walls previously separating the kitchen and dining room were removed and replaced with more countertop space in the form of a seated peninsula. The kitchen was also updated with new granite countertops, more backsplash tile to match the existing, and partial new cabinetry by The Woodshop of Avon to match existing. New hardwood flooring was installed in the kitchen to match the existing dining room. The size of the dining room was then almost doubled by removing an adjacent first-floor bedroom. A new sunroom was added in the back which opened the space even further. Dixie Caress carpet in the color “Wisteria” was chosen for the sunroom and throughout the 2nd floor. The 2nd floor was given a total makeover with a large dormer addition and a master bedroom suite above the new sunroom. Corbels decorate the exterior while giving support to the overhanging floor of the master bedroom. Now with three bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs, there’s room for everyone, and a wonderful great room on the main floor to go with it. See this project in person on the Castle Home Tour, September 28 – 29th, 2019.

The powder room we were called to tackle had a severe case of “green fever”. Emerald green floor, neon green walls, outdated oak framed vanity were the original finishes from 1984. The homeowners wanted to create a sophisticated 21st century powder room and were willing to step out of their comfort zone. They asked us to come up with a sleek and stylish solution for this tiny space. We replaced everything from floor to ceiling, creating a dark and dramatic space. We incorporated 3D geometric tile on a feature wall to add texture and interest. Medium tone modern vanity with white countertop create a nice contrast against the dark walls. We also came up with an idea to style this room two ways so our client could choose their favorite. One option was to limit the color scheme to a neutral palette creating a calm and monochromatic look. The second option included bright coral accents adding vibrancy and energy to the room. The result: a happy client, gorgeous powder room and two ways to showcase it!
