Kitchens

French Country Designing... Your kitchen can be a lot of fun. Just remember to take everything into consideration. Plan to prepare a meal in a kitchen equipped with the latest appliances, configured to let you move effortlessly from refrigerator to sink to cooktop without tripping over the kids, the cat or your own two feet. With planning and forethought, you can rework the floor plan of an existing kitchen to make it function more efficiently.

How sweet it is! Stylishly simple Lighting... Choose a mix of sources and fixtures for the most-used room in the home. When it comes to kitchen lighting, more is better. There is no single type fixture that can produce all the right light. Use a combination of hanging lights, to bring light down, recessed or track, which can be used for ambient, task and or accent lighting, depending on placement, and undercabinet lights which illuminate hard working countertops and accentuate the backsplash as well as visually elevate the wall. An option to add additional lighting is to use sconce. Mounted them along a wall or on the side of a cabinet. This is a stylish way to add ambient and or additional task lighting.
