2013 Pantone Color Of The Year Depicts Balance And Harmony…



It is always interesting to see what is hot in the marketplace, especially when it comes to colors. In this blog, I wanted to take a look at the 2013 Pantone Color of the Year. While last years color, Tangerine Tango, offered a bright, warm, look, with a boost of energy, this year’s color, Emerald,  is a bit more subdued and inspires well-being. The color, Emerald, offers a sophisticated, elegant look that supports a feeling of balance and harmony. Over the years green colors have consistently been popular and it is no wonder, as green is abundant in nature.

Let’s take a look at the 2013 Pantone Color of the Year…

Emerald

Whether you want to give your home a fresh look by some doing some painting, or just adding some accessories, you might want to  play around with the color, Emerald. If you are doing some remodeling that includes adding some countertops, we have plenty of greens to choose from including some that incorporate the color emerald. Make sure you stop by our showroom to check them out.

These under refrigerators are great for storing extra snacks, especially if you are having company over, the holidays, etc.

A Multitude Of Backsplash Options…



When it comes to backsplash options for your kitchen, there are a multitude of choices. From  using the same countertop material with a 3-1/2″ backsplash run, to full height backsplash, to tile, there are plenty of options. If you go the tile route, your options multiply even more and you can create a look and feel all of your own.

Let’s take a look a few samples…

Get A Sophisticated, Elegant Look With A Black & White Kitchen…



Using black and white in decorating can add a stunning appeal that is both sophisticated and elegant. Black adds a focal point and white adds that perfect contrast. Black and white is very popular in Contemporary decorating, but can also be incorporated in other decorating styles.  From rugs and flooring, cabinets and countertops, bed linens and walls, the uses for a black and white color combination are plenty.

When it comes to kitchens, a black and white color combination has been popular for years. And…that’s not surprising. Many consumers love the clean, elegant look. There are also a variety of black granites available, as well as some marble options.

Following is a photo of a project we recently fabricated and installed using the color, black storm:
