Finish, lighting, and what's around it all change how a pull or k**b actually reads in your space.

Here are a few things worth thinking about before you order anything.

📍Come see the options in person at our Buffalo Grove kitchen and bath showroom.

Summer is over in 30 days...

Consider this your official mid-year reminder. If a kitchen remodel or bathroom remodel has been "on the list" since spring, August is usually when it either gets scheduled or gets pushed to next year... and next year always turns into the year after that.

Every August it's the same story: the kids go back to school, and the mudroom finally makes it back onto the home improvement list.

If yours could use better storage before the backpacks and shoes take over again, we've got ideas.

Quartz or granite? Ask five people and you'll get five different answers, because the honest one is "it depends on how you use the room."

We broke down the real differences in maintenance, heat resistance, appearance, and cost (spoiler: one isn't reliably cheaper than the other).

And once you've got a direction in mind, our Buffalo Grove showroom is where the sink and faucet decisions get a lot easier to make in person. Read the full guide here: https://brnw.ch/21x4ZNt

Compare quartz vs. granite countertops by cost, durability, maintenance, appearance, and kitchen remodel fit before choosing your surface.

Sometimes the best sale is the one you don't make.

A customer walked in ready to buy a new faucet. Our associate Jennifer asked one question first, turns out his old one was still under a lifetime warranty. Faucet's arriving free, no purchase needed.

This is why we hire people who care more about getting it right than closing the deal. Ask for Jennifer next time you're in. 🙌

Me: "I'm just looking for inspiration."
Also me 2 hours later: still saving kitchens I'll never emotionally recover from.

Anyone else have a Pinterest board that escalated quickly? 😅

✨ If your saved photos are starting to look suspiciously like your dream kitchen, come browse our showroom and see what's possible: https://brnw.ch/21x4oLg

Jimothy found the showroom before you did.

He didn't have a design consultation booked. He didn't measure his bathroom first. He just showed up.

What's your excuse? 👀

Nobody:

Designers at 11:37 PM:
"Wait... what if we moved the island 6 inches?"

😂

The best spaces come from people who obsess over the details.

Here's to the designers who notice everything so the rest of us can simply walk in and say, "Wow."
