Behind The Scenes

On A Photo Shoot

Last week, I went out on a photo shoot at a beautiful home in Walnut Cove, near Asheville, NC. We got so carried away with snapping pictures in the kitchen that I forgot to get a few with my iPhone, which I really like to do. I just can’t explain how much fun taking pictures can be when the lighting is just right. It saves us so much time during the processing phase because, after all, we are just amateurs.

Here is a close-up of the desk we did at Walker Woodworking. Yes, this finish is very detailed and requires precise attention to get it just right, but overall, it adds character to the desk.

This area was small and difficult to photograph. I was able to get a close-up with my iPhone – this antiqued glass is fantastic. It has gold and burnt orange coloring that looks great with the black cabinets.

Here’s a sneak peek of the kitchen – we will have these photos added to our website very soon.  You will be able to view the entire project and all the unique details our custom cabinetry has to offer.

It’s always a treat for us to get out of the office and see the final product of our cabinets in the setting of a beautifully furnished home.  We get to actually enjoy time with the homeowner in their environment, rather than in our office, always working and discussing details.

Sometimes, they are the spark you need or the little “aha” moment that adds that final touch you’ve been missing. Let’s talk about the latest kitchen cabinet design trends for 2023.

As a new year begins, designers and homeowners alike look to the latest trends for inspiration as they prepare for upcoming projects. While trends may not be for everyone, they can sometimes spark the creative process, which is why we want to share some of the latest kitchen color trends for 2023.

Kitchen layouts are a critical part of the design process because they can help you make the most of your space. There are specific layouts better suited to a particular home, such as an apartment or large open area, making it essential to understand the function and benefits of each.

Every year, new hardware trends make their debut in the design industry as companies showcase new styles and selections. This allows the homeowner more opportunities to find a unique piece that reflects their personality.

A popular combination is natural wood because it adds a touch of warmth and beautiful contrast, like brass hardware, just as it did for this client’s kitchen.
