Our Enkeboll Displays...

Well, as most of you know, we have had a couple displays in our showroom waiting for Enkeboll crown to be placed on them. I have to say that they really haven't complained too much about not being finished, I on the other hand have not been so kind. John did an excellent job of installing all the cabinetry in the showroom, but was a bit stand offish when it came to cutting this molding. I guess when it runs about $100/foot, you measure 50 times and then measure again!



Our friend and business associate volunteered to "help" John cut the molding. It ends up that Herb did most of the cutting - which I think John was 100% OK with - and the vanity area is now complete.




It is really amazing how this 1 piece of molding can make such impact in this small area. The mirror will be hung soon, and the display will be finished. That is sure to mean I will be ready to rip it out and put a new one in very soon!!!




A very special thanks to Herb Schmoock of HJS Carpentry for dedicating his Wednesday afternoon to our showroom. Both Enkeboll areas look outstanding as well as the baseboards and Debut cabinetry display you are currently working on! For information on how to get Herb to install your kitchen call HJS carpentry @ 215-896-8367.




Come in and see the changes for yourself.

4 easy ways to liven up your kitchen

There are many different ways for you to take your existing kitchen and turn it into a place that you are not only proud to show off to your friends, but have no problem making the center of your next party.

*1: Getting new appliances is one of the quickest moves you can make to change the look of your kitchen. With technology constantly changing, updated models can add a new feel to your kitchen quickly. Most new models are energy star rated as well, so they will save you money down the road.




*2: Change your counter top - get rid of your old, discolored, chipped counter top. If you want a completely new look change your existing countertops to Concrete, Granite Quartz or Marble. The only change to this kitchen was a granite countertop and new backsplash. the transformation is amazing! The total project was cost effective as well.



*3: Obviously, changing the kitchen cabinets is another kitchen improvement option. Be sure to select quality materials as you search for the best price. You don't have to break the bank to get good cabinets, but you need to make sure you get what you pay for.




*4: Change out the hardware: This one is HUGE...Hinges and handles in a new color or material will go a long way to making your kitchen look like a new, more welcoming room. It really is amazing what this little change can do.
