Picking the right kind of patio materials for your home is as important as choosing a bed for your bedroom (especially if you like sleeping under the stars). In the quest for the perfect house, you should always look for an enjoyable, cozy, and reliable patio that will compliment your surroundings.
With so many great patio materials to choose from, deciding on one or two of them can pose as a big dilemma. If you already have an idea on the specific layout you want, the budget you are willing to spend, and the needs you want to meet the patio of your dreams is just a few steps away.
During a sunny day, or when you feel like enjoying the night air while gazing up at the stars after a long day, very few things can beat the comfort of your own outdoor area. And to achieve the coziness, durability, and beauty you are looking for, choosing the right patio materials is, perhaps, the most important step of all. You also need to think about which patio materials will last longer and what kind of maintenance each type will need.

Last week’s granite bar post got us thinking: outdoor kitchens are a pretty nice deal if you can swing it. For every homeowner or homebuyer, outdoor entertaining is a must have in their households.And new trends in design are aiming precisely to open-air constructions of rooms that usually have an indoor concept, entering the kitchen. What most designers and homeowners around the world are discovering is that an outdoor kitchen can be both functional and attractive, not to say original.
“The outdoor kitchen is not an area looked at as a ‘work’ space, but it is a place to express hospitality and creativity – and to enjoy family and friends”, said Barbara B. Berry, sales associate with Downing-Frye Realty.

A clean bathroom is no joke. It’s a real pity when we spend hours and hours cleaning the tiles and surfaces of the room and end up dealing with stains that are impossible to vanish.
Ironically, the place that people relates the most with cleanness is the one that gives us more trouble for its unpredictability, especially when we have guests over that can’t be blindfolded to stop them from seeing true chaos.
If you can relate to these situations, maybe it’s time to think about giving your bathroom a new and fresh makeover.

Worn-out bathtubs are not only unappealing but also can prove to be dangerous for you and your family. Germs and other micro-organisms often lurk in what appear to be the cleanest places in your house, such as bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms, and only you hold the solution to this problem. Mold can pose a serious problem and making sure you don’t have to keep fighting it back time and time again is something worth looking into. It all starts with the surfaces, and which ones promote the growth and abundance of germs.

One of the most sought-after home remodeling projects is kitchen renovation. And it is no wonder. A kitchen can go centuries (well, maybe not that long, but pretty long) without being remodeled. Ask yourself, in what year was your house built? You might end up with shocking news. In many ways, your kitchen is the most important part of your house as the heart of your living situation. Think about it for a second. Where do you cook, eat, and spend most of your time anyway?
That means your most frequented space is well-used. The counters take a beating, appliances age and start breaking down, and cabinets start to look… well, dated.
So, if your kitchen needs a clean and improved look, don’t neglect it. Perhaps you just need a few small touch-ups here and there. But if your kitchen is like many out there, you probably have several projects just begging to be completed.
We recommend beginning the kitchen remodeling with a first step: the cabinet makeover. The first impulse when considering kitchen cabinet remodeling is to replace all the old cabinets. But that idea can be not only expensive but also time-consuming.
There is no real compelling reason to replace cabinets if they are structurally sound unless you want to shuffle the location of the appliances or change the kitchen layout. So, the best option to consider is refacing vs. replacing the cabinets, a far less disruptive and messy endeavor than a complete overhaul.
Nowadays you can completely transform your kitchen with gorgeous, refaced cabinets of numerous colors, a palette created especially for your kitchen’s vibe.
At Granite and TREND Transformations, we offer comprehensive cabinet refacing services. As long as the heart of your cabinets (the boxes) is in good shape, you are a prime candidate for this route. Our experienced cabinet door replacement team will replace the cabinet and drawer fronts in the color and style of your choosing.
The best part is that cabinet refacing takes a fraction of the time a full remodel takes. And there’s minimal mess. You won’t have to upend your culinary activities or disrupt your day-to-day life for weeks on end just to get the cabinets of your dreams. Plus, cabinet door replacement is by far the most cost-effective route—so you can redirect the money you save toward another kitchen or bathroom project!
By keeping the cabinets renewed and changing their look, your kitchen can be transformed into a small cooking palace of contemporary style. You can find inspiration in current trends, tap into your creative side, or discover a new favorite from among our extensive collection.
So, give your kitchen a fabulous cabinet makeover. It’s time. When you’re ready, the Granite and TREND Transformations team is ready to help. We can work with you to make your cabinet makeover vision come to life. Plus, if you need more help or an extra set of eyes, our design team is standing by.
