2019 Trends!

With 2019 fast approaching - let's talk about what the popular trends for 2019 are looking like!

Color!  While white kitchens are cool, clean and classic, color cabinetry is what's trending in 2019.

Grays, Blues, even Greens are popular but your color choices are endless and can be customized to match your heart's desire.  Be daring and go two-toned, mixing two different colored cabinets for an oh so gorgeous effect.  Even mix a combination of wood and painted cabinets.

Open Shelving.  Looking to break up your kitchen cabinetry?  Add a little....or a lot...of open shelving. Open shelving can take the place of one or more cabinets.  "Floating" shelving is popular and trending.  Floating shelving makes a gorgeous display area for your dishes, glassware, and personal decorating touches.  Made from many different materials including wood, glass, stainless steel, they will beautifully compliment your décor.




Pendant Lighting.  Pendant lighting will also be trending in 2019.  Gone are the ceiling hugging fixtures of yesteryear, in are spectacular pendant lights! Strategically placed over your kitchen island or throughout your kitchen, pendant lighting adds personality, charm and charisma to your living space along with functionality. Pendant lights come in all shapes, sizes, and styles that can be hung at different lengths to suit your needs.  Hook them up to dimmer switches so lighting can be adjusted to your work area or set a mood.

 

Cambria quartz, is it right for your kitchen or bathroom remodel?

We have quartz counter tops by Cambria. They come in so many gorgeous styles and colors! The debate has raged about which is better, Granite or Quartz. So let's talk about why Quartz may or may not be right for your kitchen or bathroom remodel. While quartz is technically fabricated into slabs for use, it is 97% real quartz, the rest is made up of binder and pigment.


Lets go over the Pro's of Cambria quartz:
Color selection, quartz has an incredible color and design selection, here are some of the 140+ colors and styles Cambria offers

1. Replication, quartz can be made over and over in the same pattern.
2. Non porous, never needs to be sealed.
3. Stain resistant, while Granite is also stain resistant, quartz is more so.
4. Sparkle! Quartz has natural sparkle in it.
5. Natural, 97% real quartz.
6. Made in the U.S.A. family owned and operated.
7. Because it's non porous, it won't harbor dangerous bacteria.
8. Cambria Quartz is a family owned and operated business and has the latest technology to create exclusive colors and designs. Cambria has over 140 designs and styles of counter tops. 
9. Cambria exclusively makes larger slabs than competitors to you get 1 piece seamless finish for large kitchen islands in most cases.

Why would you not want quartz? Cons:

1. Can be damaged by rapid temperature changes
2. Heat damage, not suggested to put hot pots directly on it.
3. Price, most quartz will be more expensive than the cheaper granite's.

However given all the pro's you get from buying Cambria quartz, it far out weighs the few cons.
