Getting Started

Questions to consider:

What ARCHITECTURAL STYLE inspires you? Is it modern, with clean clean lines and large elements, straight and flat, with a high gloss automotive finish? Or classic, with more detailed elements, wood grains and stained finishes? Maybe contemporary, simple shaker doors with a white or coloured lacquer? From these choices all the other ones will naturally flow.

What COLOURS excite you? Whites? Neutrals? Cool greys? Warm browns? Exciting brights? Glossy whites? Deep wood stains? I have extensive experience with all of these finishes, and can customize whatever you envision.

What is your ideal COUNTERTOP SURFACE? Durable stone or quartz? Natural wood butcher block? Or one of a host of alternative products now available? What you choose will greatly affect the functionality of your new kitchen space.

How heavily is your KITCHEN used? Are you living by yourself? Or cooking for a gaggle of growing children? Teenagers? Do you host friends for meals? How many? Weekly or monthly? Let’s make sure that your kitchen functions in a way that fits your lifestyle, not just this year, but in the years to come.

How important are the SECONDARY ROOMS in your house? What are you planning for cabinetry in your bathrooms? Laundry? Mudroom? Office? Closets? These rooms are important too, and functional cabinetry can be the key to making them work as you need them.

What are your intentions for RESALE of your home? Is it just a stepping stone while you search for your dream home? Are you staying as long as possible? Somewhere in between? These factors affect our style choices, and budget as well!
