The Holidays are coming, the Holidays are coming!!!

It is hard to believe that the Holiday season is approaching. It seems no matter what you do this season sneaks up on you. This post is just a reminder that cabinet orders are still at LEAST 4 weeks out. That means if your client wants new cabinets by that Holiday party they are planning, now is the time to act. In all honesty, 4 weeks doesn't seem like that far away, but actually, if you ordered your cabinets today a 4 week lead time puts your delivery the week AFTER Thanksgiving!!! If I can do anything to help you push a client along, please let me know. Pricing and re-pricing is what I am here for an I am happy to help!!! Let's make this season a great one for all of us!

Onyx Oak
I am normally the first person to steer a client away from oak cabinetry, but a new trend is making me double check myself.
Onyx stain on Oak cabinets is amazing. The depth of color and pattern bring out the oaks beautiful grain and help to use it as an accent rather than a distraction. Most of the time oak cabinets almost make your eye dizzy with all the grain and pattern. The onyx (black) stain helps to tone down the chaos. The grain becomes an accent piece almost like glaze. You end up with a cabinet full of depth and character rather than a flat black almost dull Maple look.
The best part of all this, the color is on OAK! Again, normally not something I would put in the pro column if doing a comparison, but oak is one of the least expensive woods to have cabinets built in. This new trend allows for redecorating on a budget...it doesn't get better than that!!!

Getting ready for Halloween!
It is hard to believe that Halloween is just around the corner, and the colder weather is just getting started. Happily things have been picking up here at Hicks, and we hope the same can be said for everyone. For this reason, it has been a while since I have posted anything, but I wanted to try to get everyone in the Halloween spirit by posting this pretty Halloween themed kitchen. I for one could never quiet decorate this elaborately, but I have to admit it looks beautiful. Thanks to Country Living Magazine for this inspired photo. Now I just have to step up my decorating skills. We would love to see pictures of your kitchens decorated for Halloween. Please post them on our facebook page...www.facebook.com/hicksdistributors
