Gorgeous remodeled kitchen

We would like to share with you one of our latest remodeling projects. Our clients had a little galley kitchen, sharing the space with a dining room. Basically the space was very small and was closed off the family room.

Then, Talavera Custom was hired to perform the remodeling. We decided to remove the beam that made the space smaller, and completely redesigned the space for a fresher open concept look.

One of the most beautiful details we created for this client was setting the island to look like a separated piece of furniture. It creates an amazing effect! Take a look at the video for more information about this!

We mixed colors, but kept the details so the whole design blends in elegantly and the transitions between spaces are easy on the eye.

Our team, at Talavera Custom was very pleased to help this client’s house, and we were collaborators on make this house feel like a home.

Contact us! We will be happy to give you ideas for your spaces, to transform them into works of art.

DIY: Remodeling doesn’t have to be expensive

While looking for remodeling ideas, we found this article that gives some pointers on how to have a fresh look in your home with a modest budget.

We will share some of the ideas with you:

1. Fast renovation: Get rid of clutter!

Before making changes in the house, consider rearranging furniture, or decide a better location to store your belongings. This simple idea will help you clear up space, and will definitely make you feel more comfortable with the way your home looks. Most likely it will make your rooms look bigger!

Total budget: Free! You didn’t spend a dime.

2. Small ideas, improved appearance.

Some of the changes that you can apply to your home, without spending a lot of money, will definitely bring a fresh image to your house. Here’s some of the ideas we found helpful:

– Kitchen: Change your cabinet’s hardware. You don’t have to replace the cabinets but you can install new handles and knobs and make them look better. Here we tell you the best way to do this.

Also, staining your cabinets, although it requires a little effort, will make your home have a contemporary look. See this example.

Simple ideas, big results.

– Painting the trim instead of painting the whole house can be a money saver!

– Get a drawer organizer. Adding dimensions to drawers will make you realize you don’t require new furniture.

– Repair instead of replace.

– Mix and match rugs, towels, bedspreads and curtains. Your home will be the envy of your friends!
