can match virtually any décor, making it a
popular choice for backsplashes. Recycled
glass tiles can be found in any color for
a look that’s great for your kitchen and
great for the environment as well. Mosaic
tiles are frequently used and can be laid in
customized patterns for a uniquely personal
look.
Although cherry wood cabinets are
popular, there’s a trend toward white
cabinets. Cherry will give your kitchen a
warm feel, 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 another great
way to ensure that you’re getting someone
with a good reputation in the community.
A 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. ■
