More and more homeowners are steering away from industrial-grade, stainless steel range hoods and are opting for custom millwork to complete their kitchens. If your stove is the focal point of your kitchen, then the range hood should complement it accordingly. But installing a custom range hood is not just a matter of building a wood box and painting it. As in all things construction, you can't forget about the logistics behind the finish piece, and that often involves multiple trades. Here are a few tips to help you when considering a custom range hood for your kitchen.

Designing a stunning kitchen is more than just updating an old counter-top and appliances and putting on a fresh coat of paint. To truly create a show-stopping kitchen you need to consider all the details that will help bring everything together to make an aesthetic space both you and your loved ones can enjoy together. And what are "all the details" that you should consider when wanting to create a show-stopping kitchen? To answer this question, here is a list of some of the top details you can consider adding to your kitchen design.

We love to see more and more homeowners jumping on the mixed metals bandwagon. Gone are the days of monochromatic finishes, when interior designers and homeowners were limited to a single metallic finish in their faucets, light fixtures and hardware. Combining a variety of metallic hues like copper, bronze, gold and silver is a trend we can definitely get behind, for not only does it add texture and depth to a space, it gives us a diverse color palette with a ton of room for creativity. Like anything, though, this design technique can be misused and end up looking more like an afterthought than an aesthetic feature.

As we become more dependent on electronic gadgets, we are also learning that the workplace environment is changing. Rapidly. Productivity tends to suffer when people are holed up in what could be termed a "cubicle farm". As such, working from home is becoming more acceptable and popular. Unused home spaces are being converted into offices. But home offices must be designed effectively so that work is efficient and productive. A home office remodel can create a better work environment that improves overall productivity.

Renovating a house in Florida is not like construction in the rest of the country. Not only do you have to deal with the humidity (hello, mold), there's also the hurricanes, termites, frequent rainstorms and beating sun (which lead to dry-rot). It's no wonder the construction industry is so heavily regulated down here. So what do you need to know to properly navigate the ins and outs of a renovation in Florida? Read on for five important tips. If you live in Florida even a few weeks out of the year, you know what a paradise it is - endless sunny days, breathtaking sunsets, and soft sandy beaches.

A method of project delivery in which one entity (the design-build team) provides BOTH design and construction services. This is opposed to the traditional method of construction, in which design and construction are split up into separate entities, separate contracts, and separate work. In Design-Build, the cost of the project is established after the preliminary drawings (Schematics) are done. There may be back-and-forth between homeowner and sales at this point in order to get things under budget.

There are many reasons for going through with a home addition (sometimes referred to as a room addition.) Maybe you need a new mother-in-law suite? A new home office or more space in your existing one? Have an unutilized attic that could be turned into another bedroom, game room, family room or den? A home addition, based on a good floor plan with an interior room design that integrates nicely with its surroundings, can greatly enhance your home's appeal, functionality and resale value. It can turn a so-so house into a fabulous home.

Did you know Design-Build can actually save you money? You have probably heard that if you want to build a custom home, the first place to start is with an architect. Even Contractors will refer you to an architect if you don't have blueprints done, because they need plans in order to give you a proper estimate. The trouble with this is that most architects are going to draw you whatever you want and will not give you much guidance on what things cost. So if you have a budget, you will likely experience sticker-shock when you bring your completed blueprints to your Contractor and find out it will cost you far more than you expected to build what you want.

The atmosphere or ambiance of an office setting definitely has an impact on the people who work there, for better or worse. With the right office reno you may be able to change it to better! Or perhaps the layout is not really entirely suitable for your current business operations. Apart from staff productivity with a better layout and generally better look, an office renovation may be necessary to attract and retain customers by enhancing the 'business personality'. A more professional look, or a new contemporary look, perhaps using concrete for a specialized counter-top accent, may be the exact thing to make a difference.

One of the best things about owning a home is, of course, having your very own space and being able to set it up just the way you like. But when you have plenty of stuff and no practical place to put it, that freedom becomes a double-edged sword. No matter how much space you think you'll be able to take advantage of when you first move into a home, the classic outcome is: there's never enough storage. The solution? Some simple and well-planned home renovations will help you put into practice the word that's on so many lips these days: declutter.
