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!
