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.

From hanging wet coats to hiding dirty boots, a mudroom was built to keep your entrance clean and organized. Since it has made a tremendous comeback over the years, let’s discuss why a mudroom should be considered an essential design element in the home.

While the laundry room is not the most visited room in the house, it certainly plays a vital role in keeping the home clean and neat for everyone who lives there. Though no one enjoys the task of sorting, washing, and drying laundry, it is a necessary chore, and with the average family of four doing up to ten loads of laundry a week, it is safe to say that this space should be well-designed.

Finishing a basement or renovating it completely can also increase the value of your home. There is also the possibility of gaining additional income by renting out the basement.

Many of our clients live an hour or more away in the Charlotte metro area. This usually leads people to ask, “Why should I drive to Shelby when I can go somewhere closer?” We understand the reason for the inquiry and want to share why we believe you will find value in taking the time to make the drive.

laces like Pinterest and Houzz are a fantastic way to explore a variety of gray kitchens and the possibilities that await you in your new space, so be sure to spend some time there before meeting with your designer.
