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.

Interior designers use it as inspiration as they attempt to build a place that satisfies their client’s demand for a look that emphasizes functionality, stark, clean forms, and abstract thinking—layout with a basic and practical design. Modern design style is rooted in German and Scandinavian design, which sought to pair art with functionality.

What is it about reclaimed wood that makes it so popular? Is it the fact that it possesses a character all its own, or maybe it’s because of the history it holds inside? Whatever the reason, reclaimed wood is trending as a material choice across multiple areas of the home, including kitchens, bathrooms, and home offices.

It has won over numerous homeowners and designers, who use it in many kitchen spaces, including on TV. As popular as it is, it is no surprise that designers created a new twist by blending rustic elements with industrial accents to make an industrial farmhouse style.

Our houses are often shared by multiple people, and with multigenerational homes becoming more common, there is a need for designers to create spaces that maximize storage, emphasize individuality, and blend them into a unifying whole. Whether it is the bathroom, kitchen, or family room, with a little well-planned strategy, you can implement creative solutions for the multiple users in your home.

Although there is less space to work with than a traditional kitchen layout, it doesn’t mean there needs to be a loss in function or style. It is essential to know all the options and elements available to make your kitchen feel more significant than it seems and operate for your lifestyle needs. Let’s talk about what it takes to design a condo kitchen.
