while white cabinets will brighten the space and have a clean
appearance.
As for flooring, natural stone and travertine are extremely
popular right now. After the stone is sealed, it’s an easy-care
option for homeowners and offers a lot of longevity.
It’s not just about the look you want to achieve in your kitchen,
it’s also about the way it makes you, your family and your friends
feel when you’re there.
ADDITION: 1 + 1 = FABULOUS!
Ever feel like your home would be perfect if only it had that one
room that’s missing? Perhaps it’s an extra bedroom for when Mom
comes to visit, or a bathroom downstairs for guests when you’re
entertaining. Maybe you already have a family room, but it just
needs to be a little larger for your needs. If this sounds familiar, a
home addition may be the perfect solution for making life a little
more comfortable.
The great thing about a new room is that you can plan it exactly
the way you want it. If you’re adding a family room or game room,
why not build a fireplace as well? This will quickly make it the
most visited room in your house. If you’re adding a bedroom
either for visiting parents or a returning college student, why not
include an ensuite bath, which will increase your home’s value as
well as make for more enjoyable visits for your guests.

As with any work done in your home, make sure that you do
your homework before contacting any contractors. It’s a good
idea to obtain estimates from three different contractors before
deciding which one to use. It helps to be as specific as possible
in your choices in order to get the most accurate estimates. Use a
spec sheet to ensure that you are giving all three contractors the
same exact information.
Using local contractors is great way to ensure that you’re getting
someone with a good reputation in the community. Another good
idea is to attend home shows where you can actually meet the
contractors face to face. It’s easier working with someone when
you have a good rapport.
The most important thing to remember in any home design
project is not to be too focused on the bottom line only. Many
times the lowest price does not result in the best‑quality job. Do
your research to find the best person for your particular project. ■
