Tight budget-No problem

In today’s economy some people just do not have the funds to renovate. There are some ways to get a new kitchen or a new look without costing your life savings. We had such a project recently where the client did not like their kitchen at all and their floors looked like they were 40 years old. They did not have a budget that would be able to afford a new kitchen so we decided to reface the cabinets. Instead of removing the existing floor and moldings we decided to sand, water pop, stain and then poly the floors. Water popping is where we open the pores of the wood so the stain soaks through giving a much darker, richer color. We also built a custom piece for storage and shelving

IKEA is not just a four letter word anymore

I remember suggesting to a client that was on a very tight budget to look at Ikea for kitchen cabinets. She looked at me with such disdain and said “Ikea is a four letter word for a reason”. As the years past more and more people started to ask me to install their Ikea cabinets. Each time we installed them they seemed to look nicer and nicer. Now we have installed so many Ikea kitchens and other cabinets that we custom make our kitchens with their cabinets. I do not hesitate to recommend Ikea cabinets to even my Hi-End clients, most of which will say yes and they are very happy when it is completed. Below is several photo’s of kitchens and a craft room we are finishing up right now

In case you missed the Designer Showhouse here are the final photos. We were so honored to have been asked by Nina Freudenberger of Haus Interior (www.hausinterior.com) to work with her on this project. If you are ever in Soho you really should stop by her great shop at 250 Elizabeth Street.

This was a fun project for us. One of my favorite bathrooms which consisted of porcelain tiles and custom cut glass tiles with marble tiles on the floor. We custom built the tall bathroom cabinet and the frame around the window. The client did not want a glass enclosure so we recessed a hospital track into the ceiling which is much nicer then a shower rod. The kitchen was a bit of a challenge as we used 90% Ikea and 10% custom cabinets. We made the bookcase and microwave cabinet to match the new Ikea cabinets. The rest of the project consisted of Skim coating all walls, installing pocket doors and staining the floors as dark as we could.

Stripes: Be bold. Try something new.
