The Power of Before and After

We just photographed a client’s kitchen that Chuck renovated. I love how the space turned out. Notice the two different colors of cabinets and quartz countertops? It’s one of Chuck’s signature touches, and it adds a lot of visual interest so everything isn’t one note. The white upper cabinets, subway tile backsplash and bank of windows over the apron front sink really brightens the room too.

Here’s what it looked like before. The old upper cabinets and peninsula boxed the space in, and see the door placement? Chuck removed the door, installed three windows in place of two, and put in new French doors (just to the right of the picture above) to bring in even more light. Moving the door also allowed more room for countertops and lower cabinets along the wall.

ImageHere’s another view of the new kitchen. I love the nook for cookbooks.

Chuck’s New Showroom Tour

Chuck has been really busy with his new C W Quinn Home showroom since moving in August, and it shows: 4300 square feet of tile, cabinets, countertops and cabinet hardware.

DSC_0052I love his fun kitchen displays, like this one with glass tile from California-made Marin Designworks.

DSC_0073And this one. Notice how the luxe black, maroon and gold backsplash ties it all together?
