Kitchen Renovation and Remodeling Blogs

Great kitchens are often a home’s show-stopper. At The Kitchen Company, we want you to be more than just stunned by a kitchen’s beauty -- we want you to be impressed by its quality and functionality, too. That’s why we continue to partner with the manufacturers of high-quality cabinetry and appliances like Wood-Mode and Sub-Zero. But it’s not the only reason. The alignment of our values plays a large role in why we consider these brands to be the best of the best, and an ideal match for The Kitchen Company and our clients.

In the last couple of years, new kitchen color trends have started to emerge. Designers and homeowners alike are opting for subtle yet striking luxury colors over traditional neutrals. Blue hues are the latest (and some of our favorite!) luxury colors working their way into the hearts of homeowners. From cool gray-blue to vintage aqua to rich navy, there’s a blue hue for everyone.

Like many homeowners, The Kitchen Company co-owner and designer Gail Bolling struggled to make the decision to renovate her own 24-year-old kitchen. She and her husband had been thinking about it for a few years but kept putting it off because they never felt it was a convenient time. While they had a number of reasons for renovating, the need to replace the floors and appliances finally motivated them to start the remodeling project.

Here at The Kitchen Company we make it our business to help you through the kitchen renovation process as painlessly as possible. We are so comfortable with the ins and outs of kitchen remodeling that we are usually the expert guides—not the ones being guided. That is, until one of our own, co-owner and designer Gail Bolling, decided to remodel her 24-year-old kitchen. Like any kitchen renovation, Gail’s experience has its ups and downs, but she’s learning quite a few valuable lessons along the way. Over the next several weeks, we’ll share Gail’s trials and tribulations as she tackles the kitchen remodeling process as a designer—and a homeowner. We’ll also share first-hand tips, tricks and advice to help you stay sane during your own renovation journey.
