Home Improvement Magazine Home Fashions Magazine Spring 2018 | Page 5

T he goal for any company is to grow throughout its life. Kitchen Fashions started forty-two years ago as a small family business and has served the Fredericton and surrounding areas faithfully ever since. Over the years, the business has changed ownership several times, adapting and growing in each instance. In 2015, DJC Carpentry and Millwork joined with Kitchen Fashions, and we are happy to say we are not finished growing. Home Fashions was conceived in the dream of being able to truly offer full home renovation services. With the addition of Down East Electric and Bathroom Fashions to our family of companies, we feel we can bring even more specialised and experienced knowledge to your home. We put great care and consideration into each staff member whom we hire, and work hard to keep our quality of workmanship at a level we can be proud of on each and every project we take on. We look forward to seeing the direction our company will take in future years. We hope that as our company grows, so will this magazine. In every issue, we strive to provide interesting and informative articles, recipes, home reno tips, and décor ideas. We want to be another resource for homeowners who are creating their dream spaces. This is the first issue under the Home Fashions label, so let us know what you think. And if there are articles you’d like to see in future issues, please get in touch with us!
