Unfortunately, we had to make the decision to postpone our Grand Opening to Friday, May 10th, 3-7pm and Saturday, May 11th 10am-2pm.

Bill's wife, Fran, suffered a fall this past Friday and broke her shoulder which required surgery and a lengthy stay at the hospital this week for both of them.
We sincerely hope you can join us in May! If not, come by our showroom anytime as it is still open (but it won't be completely finished/ready for show until the Grand Opening).

Friendly reminder to RSVP to our Grand Opening!!

Welcome to this gorgeous two-level home peacefully tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac. With new paint, lighting, and LVP flooring throughout, this 1990s gem has experienced a major refresh.

It was truly a joy to work with this lovely family. Swipe to see how the homeowner's vision came to life!

The Kitchen:
Frost white cabinets bring a bright effortlessness to this once closed-off kitchen. The gorgeous Indigo island grounds the space and offers a location to gather. Double windows overlook the backyard, framed by a light sage backsplash that stretches straight to the ceiling, creating a beautiful focal point.
The overhauled pantry boasts practical organization solutions and a plethora of extra storage. Lastly, under-cabinet lighting adds the perfect luxe touch to the space.

The Master Bath:
Frost cabinets and black fixtures carry through all three bathrooms in this home, creating a timeless continuity and flow.
In the master bath, Jack and Jill sinks offer ample space to get ready while a tall linen cabinet keeps the counters clutter-free. An organizer's dream, this bathroom also features a pull-out drawer for hair tools with an integrated outlet and a floor-to-ceiling linen cabinet neatly situated beside the shower.
Perhaps our favorite subtlety is how the fresh blue paint plays off of tiny hexagon tiles that spread across the shower floor. Large white tiles rise along the shower walls to the ceiling, framing the blue penny tiles.

The Guest Baths:
To finish off this incredible remodel are two guest bathrooms.
The half bath sits downstairs. Simple but homey, it features a waterfall faucet and a black framed mirror with an attached shelf.
Upstairs is a guest bath with warmer, bolder accents and a tile tub/shower combo. The double rod on this shower makes cleaning the liner and curtain simple, another practical yet sleek detail.

Stay tuned for some before and after photos!

Happy Sunday !!! Pocket holes and poptarts!! Also coffee.. lots of coffee.

We are so excited to announce an OPEN HOUSE coming Spring 2024. Dates and more details to follow.

In the meantime, here are a few sneak peeks of what you will find in our showroom. It has come a long way since the New Year and we look forward to completion.

Many, many thanks to everyone whose hands have been a part of this new chapter. We wouldn't be here without you!

What a wonderful transformation!

The homeowners decided to convert their idle, closed-off dining room into an extra-large kitchen by KNOCKING DOWN A WALL. In the end, we think it paid off immeasurably. A warm, inviting place to gather, this kitchen is an entertainer's dream.

At the entrance of this spacious kitchen sits a small seating area that also serves as a coffee nook. From there, the homeowners and their guests can enjoy a beautiful, panoramic view of the kitchen and the peaceful backyard beyond.
Moving further into the room, a statement island and a wicker chandelier add to the overall charm and style of this inviting space. We can just picture friends and family gathering around the island to chat, share a drink, and bond over a meal.
Conveniently beside the island is the refrigerator, a plethora of cabinet and counter space, and, our personal favorite, a custom wine caddy.
At the end of the room, we find more counter space, a stove, and a large basin sink overlooking the backyard.

The wood accents, under-cabinet lighting, refinished hardwood flooring, and gold hardware emanate a sense of warmth that flows through the house. This warmth is balanced nicely with bright white cabinets and stainless steel appliances.

We can't get enough of this space! What do you think?

From all of us here at AKB, we wish you a warm, joyous holiday season.

As a reminder, our offices will be closed Saturday, December 23rd through Monday, January 1st for the holidays.

We can't wait to serve you in the new year!

What a blessing it is to meet kind-hearted people like Scott & Karen. It was a joy to collaborate with you!

Welcome to the heart of this stunning craftsman-style home.
There is a strong, almost tangible, spirit of hospitality and family that flows through this house. It was an honor to carry that feeling into a few tired, outdated spaces and help bring them back to life.

Swipe for a full tour, and keep an eye out for the homeowner's sweet personal touches.

The Kitchen:
The new, rich LVP floors, which flow throughout the first level, transition seamlessly into deep indigo cabinets, creating balance with the kitchen's lighter features. Our favorite of these features is the textured, marble herringbone backsplash, which stretches nearly to the ceiling, framing the vent hood. Under-cabinet lighting, double ovens, wine fridge and a big, single-basin farmhouse sink round out the design and offer added functionality.

The Master Bath:
Indigo cabinets carry through to the master bath, creating a cohesive look throughout the first floor. The homeowners stepped out of their comfort zone with champagne gold hardware, and we think it paid off, adding a warm balance to the cool blues. Perhaps the most beautiful feature in this bathroom, however, is the shower tile with textured florals and herringbone.

The Guest Bath, Laundry/Mudroom & More:
To finish off this incredible remodel is a guest bathroom, fully updated in shades of white and gray; a laundry/mudroom with added storage space and a custom cubby area for organization; all new flooring upstairs and stairwell; and a powder room refresh.

It's that time of year!

We spend hours readying our homes and preparing meals for loved ones, then gather around the hearth and give thanks for blessings so often overlooked.

From our family to yours, we wish you a happy, warm, fulfilling Thanksgiving.

From concept to reality...
Our interactive 3-D modeling allows you to see your finished space before construction even starts, giving you the chance to make adjustments that better fit your lifestyle and taste.
We love the way this one turned out.
Can you spot the differences? 👀

Happy Friday!!!
As promised, here is a little peek at some of the tile and countertop selections that will be displayed in our new showroom.
We are IN LOVE with these warm neutrals. What do you think?

WE'RE MOVING!
In the next few weeks we will be showing some sneak peeks of tile, countertops, plumbing fixtures, etc., all to be featured in our NEW SHOWROOM!
Stay tuned for updates, our official opening date, and an OPEN HOUSE EVENT.
We can't wait to share more!

Check out this fresh, new bathroom we completely remodeled and took out the whirlpool bath tub, shower, closet and cabinets. We added a beautiful tiled shower with half walls, quartz ledges and waterfall side pieces that carried across the curb. The old closet turned into a make-up station for the wifey, and we added a towel warmer on the nearby wall. For added privacy, we built another half wall between the toilet and bathroom entrance. All new Delta Stryke faucets, shower fixtures and accessories finished off the look. This is a lovely bathroom we hope our clients enjoy in their new forever home! Check out the before pictures.

Check out these beautiful products! 🤩 👀 ❤️ 🤩

We invite you to take a look into one of our newly renovated showers where we completely demoed the old shower and outside niche, built a brand new niche on the outside and inside with glass shelves, tiled the ceiling, and blended all of the colors with the existing bathroom and wall mural. The pictures don’t do this bathroom justice, it’s truly unique.

This pretty new shower with matching Silestone quartz bench seat and curb was converted from an old fiberglass tub. If you have an old whirlpool bath tub that's collecting dust or dead bugs, we have been removing lots of them (dead bugs included) and installing these gorgeous tiled walk-in showers. We also will help you design and pick out all your tile, plumbing fixtures, and stone.

Remodeling your bathroom is a great way to add to your home’s value! Even if you’re not planning to sell anytime soon, the increased equity value is an added benefit to getting a bathroom remodel. In this remodel, we converted an old whirlpool bath tub into a walk-in shower maximizing best use of the bathroom.

Loving the spring-like, calming feel this new bathroom has. From the lavender walls to the cream and brown waves in the tiles, this bathroom has been completed remodeled to feel more open and bright. We added in a wall-mounted towel warmer/heater for the cooler days and a pedestal sink to save space. The custom glass barn-style sliding doors show off the beautifully tiled shower and bench seat. Most importantly, our customers love their new space and we have new friends!

A great lighting plan is the key to creating the perfect ambiance in your kitchen. This means installing more than just one light fixture in the center of the kitchen — instead, layer your lighting with fixtures that can be adjusted for different tasks such as dimmable under-cabinet lighting and overhead cans.

When selecting countertop materials, think about both functionality and aesthetics. Regardless of your choice, always make sure to choose countertops that will complement the style and design of your kitchen. 💡

When remodeling your bathroom, you can benefit from improved efficiency in both energy and water usage! By carefully selecting quality plumbing fixtures, you can save money on your water bill while enjoying the convenience of modern fixtures. Investing in the right plumbing materials for your bathroom remodel can help you save money in the long run. Speak to one of our designers today!

When investing in appliances for your kitchen remodel, it's important to consider modern, energy-efficient models that best suit your needs. To maximize the overall functionality of the space, you may want to consider additional features such as a pot filler by your stove.

When our friends came to us with a vision, they knew they wanted an Italian-style dream kitchen, an area to host friends and family galore, more storage space, a bar and coffee area (because you can never have enough storage for wine), and a complete living space on the first floor to be wheelchair accessible in the future. All their wishes came true, including a custom Murphy bed suite surrounded by closet storage and glass shelving (that lights up in color!), custom wainscoting in the entryway flowing into the Murphy bedroom, a custom hidden shoe rack under the front stairs (pops open with a gentle push of your foot), a curbless shower with a glass tile border and listello, new doors that open to the back porch, undercabinet lighting and base undercabinet lighting to illuminate the kitchen and bar area flooring (also in a gazillion colors! You never know when you’re going to have a fun party!), an Italian-inspired mural painted on tiles for the backsplash, and a motion sensor doggy door to top it off!
Now they can truly feel like they’re in Italy when they come home in the evenings and host their friends and family. Cheers to our friends and all the memories you’ll make in your new space! 🍷❤️🍷❤️
