Cleverly Written Informative Stuff! (Mostly)

We would love to think you are here because you give a hoot about what we have to say, or that we write so well that you are hanging on every word in anticipation of the next. We realize that in truth you are probably here trying to solve a problem. You might be thinking about taking on the giant task of remodeling a space in your home, or you are about to build an entirely new space for your family. Maybe you are researching the current trends in countertops or toilets. Whatever your home remodeling question, we hope to address it here. And hopefully, we all have a little fun along the way. Happy reading!

How to Budget & Make Things Affordable

xyzThis project was about summer living with a dad and his 2 sons in a cottage snuggled up next the woods. The original structure built in c.1898 consisted of one main room and a porch built on nothing more than an old tent platform. We had to make it functional and easy to live in. The most significant enhancement was the redo and opening up of the kitchen to the original one room cottage.

When Wendy, our designer, was contacted by a past

When Wendy, our designer, was contacted by a past client who wished to create the perfect entertaining space for weekend getaways in their newly purchased country house, we jumped at the chance. We love that we earn the respect of the families we work with, and they come back time and again because they trust us. Our client chose beautiful colors such as this custom blue which pops against every surface from floor to ceiling! The tile selections are interesting without being too flashy, adding great textural elements in the kitchen while quarter-sawn oak open shelves provide just enough warmth to the room. Finally accordion windows connecting inside with outside enable seamless entertainment between deck and kitchen – All we can say is wow! #nothingordinary #karrbick_design

Small bathrooms are extremely hard to take picture

Small bathrooms are extremely hard to take pictures of, but we all have them. Don’t you want to see a tiny space packed with details? The best thing about an undersized bathroom is that it doesn’t take much of any one thing to make it great. When you think about it, that can mean cost savings! Less square foot of tile to buy, smaller cabinets, only one sink, one faucet, and of course a modest piece of stone for your countertop. Be fearless in your dreaming, below are some photos we managed to take that might help! #smallbathroomdesign #stlinteriordesign #karrbickkitchenandbath #DesignInColor #luxury
