Kitchen Counter Tops

I appreciate natural materials for kitchen counter tops. In a former life I worked in the design center of a national builder and spent countless hours coordinating counter top samples with cabinet woods. One of my favorite granite choices was Black Galaxy. I love the depth of Black Galaxy granite with its cooper flecks sitting atop warm maple cabinets.  It's a  transitional look that works well in a traditional home.  But I always wanted to push fashion forward with other counter top materials.  Materials such as Carrera marble, stainless steel, butcher's  block and soap stone are timeless and create a worn patina when used in contemporary settings.

Color:Visualize It

Most of us aren't that good at imagining what a room will look and feel like with a color change.  I love color.... As long as I have something to work against like fabrics or textiles I'm pretty good at color selection. It comes with experience... If I do make a mistake a redo is in order...after all it's only paint.   Most examples of what I see when working with clients is too little hue in their color selections.  It's as thought they know they need to get rid of the four white walls but afraid to take the plunge. What ends up happening is their color selections come up looking a bit anemic.  Well fear no more!  I have a tool that can give you a better idea of what your finished result will look like before you make a commitment. Try the Sherwin-Williams Color Visualizer.  All you have to do is upload a photo of the room you want to paint, drop and drag on your paint color. You can change the color as often as you like. I've tested this tool and I think it's a great way to improve your color selections.  Still not sure?... Let's do a site visit.... I'll show you how to successfully take color from room to room and floor to floor.
