Lighting and hardware make our kitchen shine!

THE HOUSE WHISPERER

BRINGING IN THE BLING…LIGHTING AND HARDWARE MAKE OUR KITCHEN SHINE! 

Well, we are moving right along and have added some really big changes to our 1970’s kitchen. The counters are up to date, the cabinets are clean and white and the walls are starting to find their character. This week we are adding the pendant lighting and the canned lights from our wonderful Wolfe Electric. I can’t wait to see the place in full illumination!

Pendant lights are used over counters and tables to create a soft, intimate light and are part of the task lighting group. They do not have to match your other lighting choices, but should make sense to the over-all design. You can achieve this by being consistent with color and style.

Oak Ridge Cabinets will be there to re-hang the doors and to fit the hinges and handles on our lovely cabinets. We went with an oiled bronze to compliment the light fixtures.

Sue Haase helped me choose from a huge catalogue of hardware varieties and we found just what I was looking for and it was well within budget. We asked Oak Ridge to re-hang the doors for us because, well, they are great at it and, when cabinet doors are painted, any gapping at the center seam will show if they are not hung straight.

It is amazing to work with all of our contractors and businesses on this project. Each of them have come with their years of experience and enthusiasm for their trade to contribute such a well executed part to the whole. Of course, Trilogy Construction have been keeping everything running like clock-work and in all my years in the trade, I have to say, I have not experienced such clear and consistent communication as I have with them. Everyone knows what is going on and what will be coming up. All questions are answered and problems mutually solved. I would not hesitate to recommend them or any of our fabulous crews!

So, we are on our way to the floors and finishing up. Not long to go and we will have our open house for all to see!
