This once undervalued material has emerged in prominence With popular woods like Mahogany becoming ever more scarce, coincidentally as forests are being destroyed, the cost of such preferred materials has skyrocketed (you may question what the real cost is). Is it finally time to look to materials that are sustainable? Should we at last make a major push to be environmentally conscious? And if so, where do we start when it comes to the needs of wood for the construction and furniture industries? After all, preserving our forests is a priority, but what of the countless jobs at stake? You may not...

Even knobs have stories We tend to take certain hardware for granted, don’t we? The wheels on our chairs, the fixtures for our lights, the locks on our doors, the handles on our cabinets… we can’t be blamed for not giving them a second thought, they were always just there, serving a purpose. Sometimes life doesn’t afford us a moment to stop and ask “where did that come from?” But when it does, we are introduced to a whole new world, and we’re better for it.

According to the Encyclopedia of Hardware, hinges are available in a seemingly infinite variety. However, there are ways to distinguish them from each other. For instance when you see hinges listed as “handed” it’s a term that simply specifies whether the hinges are designed to go on the left or right side of the door. Thankfully, most hinges are interchangeable and knowing the difference between the two really only matters in special situations. In most...

Chopping it all down The unique beauty of hardwood is partly in its individuality – no two pieces are alike. That’s why it’s such a popular choice for cabinets; its unique elegance is created by variations of grain and color. But if you prefer uniformity and consistency there are other options, and we’ll address those, too. But first, let’s explore the world of natural hardwoods… It’s becoming much more commonplace for homeowners to seek to offset the coldness of stainless steel and glass in their kitchen with the warmth of hardwood.

When you are buying new kitchen cabinets you have to decide if you want custom/semi-custom cabinets, RTA cabinets, or pre-assembled cabinets from a big box store. There are reasons to go with any of these three options but RTA cabinets are the best choice. Custom and semi-custom cabinets are thought of as the high end cabinets. They tend to offer quality products with a lot of variety for a premium price. On the other end of the spectrum, the stock cabinets that you would buy from a big box store cost less to make each cabinet because they are pre-assembled...

Different price ranges and what to expect from each… There are plenty of reasons and many potentially motivating factors to update a bathroom. Perhaps enhancing resale value is the priority, or there’s a desire to add capabilities, luxuries, or storage. Perhaps your ambition lies among ‘all of the above’.  This type of practical indulgence requires a number of aspects be considered. Obviously the most important is the same factor each one of us deals with every day in one capacity or another – budget. Determining your price range, naturally, is your first step. The size of your project demands careful consideration, as well....

Ingenious solutions for maximizing kitchen drawer efficiency Is everything a mess in your kitchen - to your sensibilities anyway?
