Its only July and it has already been a busy summer for both of our showrooms. Our phones have been ringing off the hook and our team has been busy at work in all areas of Atlanta! Cabinets seem to be the new black...or whatever the go-to trend of the season might be.

As an update for our Norcross location... (that opened about a month ago) things couldn't be going better. We feel at home in our space at the ProSource Building and couldn't be happier with the partnership/friendship we have formed. If you still haven't been able to visit Jody at the showroom...you should! He is our favorite on-site designer, who has been successfully holding down the fort in Norcross. He's well-seasoned in the industry and is a great resource for suggestions for your home.

Summer is such a great time to add or change something about your space, so as always...

Is Wallpaper Out of Style?

Posted on 05/18/2011 by Cabinet Cafe and has no comments yet.
You may be surprised to find that the answer is, no. Despite the rigorous process that comes with the application of  wallpaper, it is still frequently used in homes. With new wallpaper "technologies," like pre-pasted paper and border-holding tools, its previous issues are no longer such problems. The internet has even made applying wallpaper an easier task by offering self-help tools for DIY enthusiasts. For example, Better Homes and Gardens allows you to use this tool to estimate how much wallpaper an area will need:  http://www.bhg.com/home-improvement/advice/measuring-materials/wallpaper-calculator/ Many wallpaper-users also like that it offers several patterns, colors, and designs that novice painters could never accomplish with a paintbrush. Even seasoned painters may struggle with complex designs that wall-paper offers nicely pre-packaged. The downside? Removal. Yes, removal is still a pain, but like painting...application and removal are processes. You just may want to be picky when choosing your style, because you'll want it to last.  We personally think that nothing can beat the look of a fresh coat of paint, but for those of you who don't, it's nice to know there are more options!

Small Things That Modernize Your Home in a Big Way.

Posted on 05/13/2011 by Cabinet Cafe and has no comments yet.
If you feel like your home is a beat behind the times then maybe it is time to modernize your space. This doesn't necessarily mean you have to go through a full-force renovation project. When modernizing your home, small changes can make a big difference. Here are some tips on how to update your space... Updating your appliances is one major way to transform your home. In the past, solid colors, like black and white,  were previously popular choices in appliances. Now, these selections are starting to look dated (Trendscovered.com). I would recommend considering stainless steel for your appliances, as its sleek finish looks timeless (and it has been "in" for a number of years now).  Upgrading can also be advantageous from a  real estate perspective. Stainless steel appliances are something homebuyers tend to look for when purchasing a new home. It may also be a good idea to look for energy efficient appliances. The price will probably be slighty steeper, but may end up saving you money in your utility bills each month. Swapping out old lighting fixtures is also something that makes a huge difference and that many people don't consider. I am talking from the light bulbs to the light switch covers. A yellowed light switch cover instantly adds years to a home. Trendy lighting choices, like track lighting, are really popular right now and in my opinion, fantastic choices, but keep in mind they these riskier lighting choices may also go out of style quicker than something more conservative. A fresh coat of paint can literally bring back youth to an older home. However, be aware of the colors you choose. Neutral colors and earth tones win the popularity contest for 2011, because of their ability to pull together almost any room accessory. Bright colors seem to have come and gone, but if you are really passionate about a certain color, go for it! The most important aspect of painting is making the space look fresh and clean. Modernizing isn't just about what is trendy, do what works best for you and your home. Choosing the right materials for you home is a larger investment, but important in updating a home nonetheless. "Going green" with materials is BIG and looks like its here to stay. Hardwood flooring is an instant upgrade material, but bamboo is starting to earn itself a spot near the top. As for countertops, we have said it before (and will say it again) granite is the way to go. The luxury and reasonable cost of it makes it extremely attractive. Material preference is based on personal style, check home design magazines, like Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles and Traditional Home Magazine, for examples of how to make your favorite products work. Modernizing your home doesn't have to be a huge investment. Simple things like upgrading your light fixtures could make a significant difference. Try updating a few of these items and watch your home transform.
