Endless Options :: Wood-Mode Cabinetry

March 10, 2014 · Comments { 0 }

modern kitchen with Wood-mode cabinets

What do these beautiful kitchens have in common? All of the cabinets are made by Wood-Mode. Based here in the United States, family-owned Wood-Mode has been creating quality custom cabinetry for kitchens, baths, closets and offices for over seventy years. While at KBIS with BlogTour, I had the pleasure of touring the Wood-Mode booth and seeing their craftsmanship first hand. Although known for it’s traditional designs, Wood-Mode also offers contemporary and European styles that are gaining popularity with today’s homeowners. Take a look at just a handful of the many door styles offered:

Expanding homeowners options even more, Wood-Mode recently launched 17 designer opaque colors with 14 vintage companion colors to its offering of cabinet finishes. Personally, I love the gray and blue tones – they are a nice departure from all white kitchen and bath trend!

Traditionally, our customers choose the classic colors – wood tones, black, white and off-white, considering a cabinetry purchase should last years, if not decades. Our new designer opaque and vintage colors are subtle yet striking which allows customers to gain a touch of color without committing to a color that may be short-lived trendwise. – John Troxell, Director of Design, Wood-Mode

Wood-Mode is also dedicated to making cabinetry that is not only beautiful on the outside, but highly functional on the inside. The wide-variety of built-in storage and convenience features were having me longing for new kitchen cabinets!

By offering endless options, Wood-Mode’s high functioning, stylish and customized cabinets compliment any architecture and personal style. You’ll have to keep Wood-Mode cabinetry in mind for your next kitchen, bath or closet project!

happy decorating,

As the world’s oldest cabinetry maker founded in 1892, Poggenpohl is revered globally for its high-end European kitchen design. Poggenpohl’s minimalist lines and modern sensibility set them apart from the many traditional cabinet makers in the United States. The contemporary and dare I say transitional design is being embraced more and more by a new generation of homeowners. By delivering premium quality and a wide selection of product finishes, Poggenpohl offers 70 finishes, ranging from exotic woods to high-gloss lacquers, affordable European laminates, glass, aluminum and classic raised panel doors, allowing complete customization for each homeowner’s individual needs and tastes.

Poggenpohl’s beautiful form is equally matched by it’s high-function and innovation. I tested out these beautifully precise cabinets and drawers while at KBIS with #BlogTourVegas. They are indeed impressive on the inside and out. Poggenpohl’s new drawers and pull-outs are crafted from the finest materials and the pull-outs come with indirect LED lighting that is automatically activated when the pull-out is opened. Functional accessories, such as spice shakers and porcelain or aluminum jars allow for seamless organization and complement the light-maple or walnut wood inserts. Here are some of the impressive accessories Poggenpohl offers… get ready to swoon.

Design Crush :: Christine Dovey’s Home

February 19, 2014 · Comments { 3 }

Did you see Christine Dovey’s home featured last week on Style Me Pretty? Hello gorgeous. Christine, a stylist, mother of three and the voice behind the Bijou & Boheme, collaborated with interior designer, Meredith Heron (who I had the pleasure of hanging out with while in Vegas for BlogTour -love her!!!) on the project. The result is simply stunning. With a balanced mix of various period styles from mid-century modern to Art Deco, the home is all glam and all Christine.

You’ll see from some of my favorite images that Christine has embraced several current decor trends including the use of brass (hardware, lighting and furnishings), wallpaper (foyer, girl’s bedroom) and geometric patterns (textiles, rugs throughout). Love it!

Gourmet Kitchens Featuring Sub-Zero Wolf

February 17, 2014 · Comments { 1 }

Whether big or small, kitchens are the hub of the home. It’s where guests mingle, family meetings are held and meals are prepared and enjoyed. So it’s no wonder that kitchens yield some of the highest return on investment and are one of the first things home-buyers want to see. Kitchens with restaurant inspired, gourmet features most notably refrigeration and cooking appliances are in demand.

Today I’m taking a closer look at a brand synonymous with gourmet kitchens: Sub-Zero Wolf. Found in beautiful kitchens worldwide, Sub-Zero Wolf is a leader in premium refrigeration, wine storage and cooking equipment and is elevating the landscape of residential kitchens. Their New Generation series of products features more than 60 appliances – the largest product rollout in the company’s 70 history! For Sub-Zero this includes advanced preservation features and refrigeration products in five widths – from a slim 18 inches to a spacious 36 inches. Wolf’s New Generation cooking equipment features three exterior styles, electric and induction cooktops, microwaves and a built-in coffee system. By allowing a variety of dimensions, styles and products, Sub-Zero Wolf’s high-performance and flexible designs can be incorporated into kitchens of all sizes which may be a response to the “less house, more home” trend that’s transcending generations. Homeowners are seeking high-end, space-saving products that can be used in urban apartments, suburban homes and county cottages. Sub-Zero Wolf’s New Generation offering is a game changer and big news for consumers who have lived in smaller dwellings that didn’t have the option to use gourmet appliances.

Check out some of their New Generation shapes and sizes!
