Furniture vanities







Job JD - remodel - Newport




Job FP - new spec construction - Jonesboro




This is actually a spec house built by a builder here in Jonesboro. It is not an expensive kitchen, but what makes it stand out is the use of neutral materials and the red on the walls.

Job JW - new construction - Jonesboro



Job SB - complete remodel - Jonesboro



This job was unique in the fact that the homeowner wanted it to look like a Pottery Barn bathroom. With the colors chosen and the beadbaord paneled walls, a tiled shower and a ceramic tile floor that looks like wood, I think the look was accomplished.

Job GC - new construction - Blytheville



I like how the homeowner chose to mix the cherry with the light colored cabinets and then finished with the unique indian backsplash.

Job HD - new costruction - Paragould




Job VH - complete remodel - Jonesboro


We don't get to do alot of Oak kitchens anymore, but this one was keeping with the decor of the rest of the house. The homeowner kept everything very neutral and used her decor to add color.

Job NB - new construction - Wynne




Job BH - new construction -Jonesboro




Job PW - new construction - Osceola



Job JH - complete remodel - Jonesboro



If I can find the "before" pictures for this job, I will post them. It was a huge difference. The old kitchen was dark and had no color. It was white cabinets with black marble tops. The homeowner loves color and simplicity, and thats just what we achieved!

Job JP - kitchen remodel - Jonesboro





Job CHB - new construction - Paragould




Corian / solid surface counter tops





Solid surface is a very popular option for countertops. If solid surface is scratched or cracked, it can be fixed without having to replace the tops. We usually finish the tops to a "matte finish" meaning they are a bit shiny, but not overly shiny. Keep in mind, the shiny they are, the higher maintenance. If you like the high shine look, granite or quartz is a better option.

Quartz counter tops

For all practical purposes, quartz and granite are pretty much the same. The biggest difference is man-made quartz comes with a warrenty, whereas granite is a all-natural material and does not. Price depends on color, but is usually within a small range one way or another.

Job CW - new construction -Paragould




Love the sleek, clean look of this cherry kitchen with granite tops. Usually, I am not a big fan of putting the lighting on the mirror, but in this case, the decorator's look is just right.

Job LB - new construction - Jonesboro


I love this look. It is clean and simple and the homeowner's choice of wall color and accessories really finish this job off. When I look at this kitchen, it reminds me of New England. I also love that this job was accomplished with an inset door.
