How to choose the right Window Coverings for Your Home.

kelseyk — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 19:04:44 +0000

Hunter Douglas has provided us with a step-by-step list of what to think about when deciding which Window Covering is right for your home.

Light Source. Where the light is coming from is important. First make sure you know which direction your window faces.
Privacy. Do you need full privacy from next-door neighbors or just a little screening?
Style. Do you prefer a traditional or contemporary look? Relaxed or formal? Country warmth or urban sophistication?
Color. Hunter Douglas is constantly expanding the rainbow. Whatever color or shade, tint or texture you want, you’ll find it among the endless choices available.
Window Shapes. From arches to angles, circular windows to Palladians, we have the window covering that will compliment any window.
Always Within Reach. Innovative remote control operating systems give you the power to operate your window coverings, not matter their location.
Energy Efficiency. Save on fuel bills while doing your bit for the environment with Hunter Douglas’ impressively energy efficient window coverings.
Safety. Kids or pets, and loose cords are a recipe for trouble. We offer operating systems and special features designed to make your home as safe as it is beautiful.

Stop in the Flagstaff Design Center to go over the list with a window expert today. We can help you narrow down what is most important to you and find the right window covering for your home.

Kitchen and Bath Remodel

kelseyk — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 21:19:56 +0000

This kitchen and bath was in desperate need of an update. This is a home that was built in the ’70s and had a mix of ’70s and ’80s style decor. There were dark oak cabinets with white tile countertops and mis-matched appliances.

Challenges that we faced with this remodel were:

Selecting cabinetry that complimented the existing wood in the home
Finding granite that looked good with the existing Saltillo floor
Updating the kitchen and bath without changing the entire layout because of budget constraints

Products that were used in this project:

Medallion Cabinetry Silverline: Maple Lancaster Door with a Chestnut stain
Juperana Columbo Gold Granite
Caesarstone Chocolate Truffle recycled quartz

This project was completed on a fairly tight budget and the customer is extremely happy with the outcome.

Popular Kitchen Layouts and Designs

kelseyk — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 23:37:16 +0000

Kitchens are an area in people’s homes that get a very large amount of time spent in them. The layout of a kitchen should be functional and improve the quality of a families day-to-day life, depending on their lifestyle and cooking style. There are multiple ways to design a kitchen, but here are the five most popular layouts:

Essential Work Triangle
Zone Design
Galley
L-Shape
U-Shape

The three points of your essential work triangle are most commonly the refrigerator, range and sink. You want to think about the steps you use when cooking, and what’s the most efficient way to design your kitchen based on those steps. For example: I take my food out of the refrigerator, walk over to the sink to wash it, then walk to the stove to cook. I most often go between the sink and the stove so it makes sense to place those two appliances closer together.
Zone design focuses on the cooking, eating, cleaning and working zones. Or whatever zones you may need to use in your kitchen. What you will have is a separate work station for each zone. This design helps in the functionality of your kitchen as well as avoiding cross-contamination.
A galley kitchen has two straight runs on either side, typically with the range on one side and the sink on the other. Traffic flow tends to get a little tricky in these kitchens since there is really only one main walkway.

An L-shaped kitchen is very functional for cooking because it forces traffic out of the cooking area and onto the other side of the peninsula or island. This is a great design for families and entertaining.

A U-Shaped kitchen developed from the growing need for more storage space. It is simple, functional and has ample amounts of storage.

After you decide which kitchen layout is best for you and your family, it’s time to pick out cabinetry, counter-tops, flooring, and window coverings.
Stop by the Flagstaff Design Center today to discover the possibilities for your kitchen.
