Vanities and bath cabinetry have also
arrived in the 21st century. Vanities are
no longer empty-shell cabinets that
open to a cavernous interior with little
customization. Current options for
drawers and cabinets include specialized
areas for storing your blow dryer neatly
away and stackable storage options for
makeup. And while you’re standing in
front of that vanity applying your makeup,
you can watch TV in the mirror! New
technology allows your favorite TV
program to be projected onto the mirror,
so you can keep up with the latest baseball
scores or check the weather before going
out.
Slate and marble tile are always elegant
options for bathrooms, but one of the
latest trends in baths are porcelain tiles
that mimic wood. These tiles come in
sizes up to 48” and can be laid to look like
natural woodgrain, without the worry of
water damage. The woodgrain appearance
really warms up the bathroom.
And speaking of warm – your toilet can
be warm too. Homeowners can opt for a
“throne” with a retractable base that comes
out and heats your feet as well as the seat
of the toilet. And new touchless flushing
helps prevent the spread of germs among
your family, along with a bidet, which
ensures a much cleaner experience.
You spend so much time in your
bathroom every day. You owe it to yourself
to make it a more enjoyable place. And,
according to HGTV.com, bath remodels
often offer a return on investment of more
than 100%!
KITCHEN CUISINE
Whether your cooking style is Chicken
Cordon Bleu, or just some great Pad Thai
take-out from the corner restaurant, you
need a place to prepare your meals that’s
fun, organized and feels like home.
Even in today’s hectic lifestyle, you’ll
probably spend a significant amount of
time each day in your kitchen.
Though it’s a significant investment
to update your kitchen, it’s a worthwhile
endeavor from both a personal standpoint
and a financial one. And like bathrooms,
HGTV.com estimates that a kitchen
remodel can offer returns that are upwards
of 100% on the resale of your house.
You can give your kitchen a whole new
look in any style from ultra‑contemporary
to French country. Your designer and
builder can assist you with computer-aided
design (CAD) to help you envision your
dream.
Some new trends in the kitchen include
spacious farm sinks that offer tons of space
for food prep. Clean, white subway tile
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
