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.

For many people, a home is the biggest investment they will make. While it is always exciting to make property improvements that make it feel more like home, it’s always a good idea to consider whether the money you are spending will convert into added value when it comes time to move on and sell.

There is evidence that having a home office can make a home more attractive to potential buyers. Here we share a few things we believe are essential to creating an office that will help make it easier to meet those deadlines and check off that to-do list.

Home shows are packed with hundreds of exhibitors and eye-catching displays—all designed to grab your attention. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed the moment you walk through the doors. To help you make the most of your visit, we’ve put together a few simple tips to guide your day, keep you focused, and ensure you walk away with the information you came to find.

Today’s kitchen trends encompass far more than colors, countertops, flooring, and appliances.  Your grandmother’s recipe cards or cookbooks are now the latest framed Pinterest project.  Milk, bread, and flour, once staples in your grandmother’s kitchen, have now been replaced with a refrigerator that includes HD televisions and mounted kitchen tablets that are functional and fun.

Construction crews have left your home, and it is time to put your space back together with the finishing touches.
