Featured Wellborn Remodel Project

Featured Wellborn Remodel Project 

Are you on a budget for your kitchen remodel?

Wellborn offers a great product at a great value for you.

Find out how semi-custom cabinets worked well for this homeowner’s budget and why she chose Wellborn cabinetry.

Greenbrook Design Featured Project:

Our clients had debated about remodeling their kitchen.  Deciding factors such as budget and time frame were significant for the homeowners during the planning phase as they decided if they wanted to move forward with the project. Knowing their budget from the beginning of the design phase made designing so much more effective. It’s like having the final piece of a puzzle that makes the picture complete. Because the communication was open from the beginning, our designer was able to tailor the needs and give the customer what they needed – within their budget.

Homeowner Overview:

We asked: What are the top 3 reasons to remodel their kitchen?

1. Not enough room

2. No cabinet space

3. Tight areas for a growing family

Designer Challenges:

Kitchen – Before

With a family of three, plus additional children, family, and friends visiting and eating together was the inspiration and main focus of this kitchen design.

This was not their forever home, but more kitchen space was needed for a growing family. The homeowner also wanted to brighten and open up the space by removing the wall that separated the kitchen from the living room, creating an open floor plan. The island was designed for the family to be able to sit together, as well as to offer more storage and countertop space for preparing meals.

We were able to make budget friendly selections while preserving the homeowner’s request for function and style.

Communication is key to success!  In asking the client…

What was more important to you?  The budget or the time frame? Her reply;

“I would say both were very important. First was budget because I couldn’t go over a dime! Second, time frame because my husband tore down the kitchen within a day and with a one year old and not having a kitchen is not fun at all. “

We were able to design, order and install this project within the client’s timeline.

Semi-custom cabinets can typically be ordered and shipped within a four-to-six week timeline.

Goodbye Summer ~ Welcome Fall 2015 Walker Woodworking

Goodbye Summer ~ Welcome Fall 2015 News & Event update for Walker Woodworking

Wow, I can’t believe the summer is almost over. August was such a busy month for us here at Walker Woodworking but as usual, never a dull moment.

At the beginning of August we wrapped up Homearama at Cheval. It was a great turnout and very exciting to see so many people walking through the beautiful homes.I it’s such a great opportunity to get design ideas and see what’s trending. We appreciate everyone that came out to support us. New Old Luxury Custom Homes did a great job with the entire house and as always we took lots of pictures. We were not able to get in with our professional camera for many photos but my iPhone was able to capture some of the neat features of the home. Be sure to check them out.

By mid-August we were celebrating the American Legion World Series, a big event going on right here in Shelby. Walker Woodworking was proud to be able to sponsor and support such a great sport. Players came in from as far away as Hawaii, and South Carolina took home the championship trophy. This was an event that took a huge effort from our community to pull-off. Shelby is a small town, so this was a BIG deal for us.
