Christmas Elves!

This is the exhausting, but fun, season of Christmas decorating. Anne bought us matching aprons this year to complete our look. Now we truly look the "Christmas Elves" part! We have a few more add-ons to do, but we finally made it through the hectic season! We enjoy being able to do this service for all of our dedicated clients! The greatest part is seeing their faces light up when they come home to see what we have done!

University of Memphis presentation

I am on the board of the local chapter of the NKBA in the position of VP of Academic Relations. One of my goals is to try to get students involved and raise awareness for the organization. As an alumni, I got in touch with my professor, Patti Bradford. She is the go to person for the home furnishings area of concentration. We arranged for myself and a fellow alumni to come speak to a class of students. We spoke about what we do in our industry and tips for getting a job in this market. We also brought examples of our work and discussed the "green" movement. The talk wrapped up with discussing the National Kitchen and Bath Association. I was impressed by how the students were so interested and involved! They asked wonderful questions. We ended up taking the entire hour and a half. It was a real success! We have been asked to come again at the beginning of the spring semester. I can't wait to do it again!!!

Holidays

Ok, so let's talk turkey...Thanksgiving, that is! If you are thinking of a kitchen or bathroom project and would like to have it finished by the holidays, now is the time to start. It can easily take 2 months to complete a project....if everything goes as anticipated! So with Thanksgiving only 2 1/2 months away and Christmas shortly behind that, the time is NOW! You won't be able to use (or show off) your new kitchen at Christmas if you don't start planning.

Farmhouse sink trend

I almost hate to use the word trend when talking about farmhouse sinks. They are truly classics! But with the new styles and colors, they now incorporate into a myriad of design applications. Here I am showing a classic fire clay apron front sink and an updated stainless version. But they also come in copper or with designs printed or painted on the front. So don't be afraid to have fun with it!

My First Blog

Yep, this is my very first blog. I think it will be a great step forward! My hopes are for you all to get to know me and more about what I do.

These are some of my thoughts for the blog...
-Showcase "project highlights" that show details about a project I have done
-Feature "new products" that I find fun and interesting
-Show "green" ideas and how easy they are to integrate into any project
-Update you on what I have learned in my continuing education


So first things first...here is a little info about me. I went to college to study Fashion Merchandising, which included taking classes in a sister degree, home furnishings. When I decided to take some extra classes in this area, I found I really enjoyed design. I took a class in kitchen design and found my true passion! I graduated from the University of Memphis
with a degree in Home Furnishings and was 1 class shy of a double major in Fashion Merchandising. My first job in kitchens was with Home Depot. After working there for 5 1/2 years, I was ready to move on. One of my greatest achievements was in attaining my certification as a Certified Kitchen Designer from the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) in 2004. I truly enjoy the networking and continuing education. I then worked for various locations of Creative Kitchens, until I decided to go out on my own and free-lance. After 10 years of experience, I have really enjoyed this decision! And the rest, as they say, is history! Pin It
