Home Office
Turn a spare bedroom into a home office or a library with intelligent work space and storage with the comfort of the home. Include work stations with drawers and file drawers, book case storage with adjustable shelves and desk organizers. The addition of crown moulding and frieze rails create a custom look. Additional storage can be produced with the use of a utility cabinet. Under cabinet lighting will illuminate your work space. Electric outlets are installed inside the cabinets so you can conveniently plug in your computer, printer or other devises. Also openings are made to run wiring between all the components.
Entertainment Center
One of the most popular uses of cabinets outside the kitchen is for entertainment centers. You can avoid clutter and protect your valuable electronic equipment. Pocket doors can hide the television when not in use. Your sound and video components can be placed on a shelf or behind a door inside the cabinets. Fluted fillers, crown and base shoe moulding will enhance its furniture look. Shelving and storage items will create a complete unit.
Hutches
Attractive hutches can be installed in a kitchen, butler’s pantry or a dining room. Linen base cabinets offer plenty of functional drawer space. Glass doors and open cabinets allow you to showcase your favorite glassware. The addition of a wine rack and a stem glass holder can make the hutch suitable as a serving area or a butler’s pantry. Installing fluted fillers, arched valances, cubbies with drawers, frieze rails and base shoe moulding will add design flair.
Granite Counter Tops
Top off your project with granite counter tops. Granite is a remarkable natural stone that comes in a wide variety of colors and textures. It is a hard, durable stone which requires very little maintenance and can be used for a number of your home improvement projects. Granite is an ideal product for high-traffic areas such as your bathroom and kitchen because it will maintain its original appearance for years and the tile is stain and scratch resistant.
Wet or Dry Bar
Wet or dry, a bar makes living and entertaining easier. Cover the essentials with a wine rack, stem glass holder and drawer base for supplies. Glass doors and open cabinets showcase your favorite glassware, dishes or collectables. Cubbies with drawers provide a beautiful furniture appeal. An appliance garage is ideal for hiding mixers and blenders. Add a bar sink or a beverage center to make the bar one of the most useful areas in your home.
