New and Improved Kitchen Storage Ideas

Kitchens are multi-functional spaces.

People gather, people work, people cook, and people lounge.

So what can we do to make a room like this, fit all those titles?? GLAMOUR-GUARD it in ways you've never thought of.

Yes, we've talked about our love of quartz and everything durable, but what about those special ideas built into the space itself? Here are some tips:

1. Build a workspace into the island. One that can come and go as needed, just push it back in for more space.

2. Separate charging drawers for each of our technology pieces

3. Barn doors on pantries are now all the rage

4. Pull out drawers large enough to house small appliances and keep them out of sight

5. Cabinet hung spice racks

6. Special drawers that tuck away the "messy" kitchen utensils

Each of these ideas turn heads and blow minds. Let's put them to work!

Floating Vanities ... all the rage or preparing for a flood?

For some time now, you might have seen a vanity... mounted several inches up onto the wall... with a space below.

Aka ... a floating vanity.

But why? You ask. Are we anticipating an overflow of the bathtub? Or bad plumbing?

You know us better than that... We are here today to tell you why FLOATING VANITIES are ALL the rage and how amazing they really are.

1. It visually increases the wall height:

By floating the vanities, you are telling the eye to look up. And this makes the wall appear stretched and taller, therefore more luxurious, open and clean.

2. The idea creates more floor space in a small area.

Yes, while it may not be usable floor space, you have the appearance of extra, beautiful flooring and can accentuate a speciality tile or wood.

3. When doubled up and mirrored across a room, you create a simplistic freeing space.

We love this look across a bathroom. Just by raising these vanities up, we gave the room a breath of fresh air.

4. It creates a clean appearance.

Yes, while it may be a pain in the neck to clean (#sorry #beautyispain) it will APPEAR cleaner, fresher and beautiful.

Are you ready to raise the roof (i mean vanity)??

New Build Construction Excitement!!

We are knee deep in new builds, projects, tile, and fabric over here...and loving it!!

Last week we spent a full day doing site visits at 2 of our construction projects right now. This home is being built in Lucas and it will be absolutely gorgeous when it is complete!

A double staircase greets you as you enter the home.

The catwalk from upstairs looks down onto the to-be living room.

The kitchen cabinetry reflects a shaker style that will be beautiful when completed.

We are working on the furniture arrangement right now for this living room that will be open, inviting and functional!!

And believe it or not, this gorgeous room is the master bedroom!

Our working concept for this space to pull a splash of turquoise in with the natural creams, beige, and taupes throughout the living and dining room.
