2017 Kitchen Trends

The most in-demand service Hubley Painting & Carpentry offers is kitchen cabinet painting.  We have been brushing up on the trends for kitchens in 2017 so we can properly guide our clients in their decision making process.  We thought we would share some of our favorites with you and some inspiring photos we found online.

  1. Colorful cabinetry

    From Houzz: White kitchens aren’t going anywhere, according to both designers andHouzz research. But designer Jane Lockhart admits that we’ll start to see more color in cabinetry, including navy, black, deep charcoals and cream colors. “Navy and dark colors will be on lower cabinets and islands to contrast with lighter neutrals on uppers,” she says.

  2. Built-in Bars

    From Zillow: Stemming from 2016’s popular bar cart trend, homeowners next year will look for a more permanent solution for entertaining within their home. From built-in shelving for craft cocktail fixings, to a small bar seating area, homeowners are enjoying decorating and hosting more classic parties, and will seek ways to make these spaces more of a focal point within the home.

  3. Quartz Countertops

    From Scott McGillivrays: In the kitchen Quartz is a great idea for a few reasons – it looks great, it’s incredibly durable and it won’t scratch or stain. So while it may be considered trendy at the moment, I fully expect Quartz to stick around for the long haul.

  4. Single-Level Islands

    From Better Homes & Gardens: When keeping an open layout, single-level islands allow light to seamlessly stream through a space. Not only do counter-height islands increase the intimacy of a kitchen, they also expand valuable prep space.

    A single level island opens up the space and invites guests in to the heart of the home. Better Homes and Gardens

Interested in incorporated some of these trends into your kitchen?

Kitchen Cabinets – Crown Molding Is A Must!

Kitchen Crown Molding

One of the popular upgrades we can make to kitchen cabinets prior to painting them is installing crown moldings at the top of the cabinets. This makes ordinary kitchen cabinets look and feel more custom once painted. On many kitchen cabinets above the sink is a valance. Even worse is when this valance is “wavy”. We remove the valance and return the crown to the walls. This is a relatively simple thing to do but has a major affect on the over look of the cabinets. It makes your mundane and ordinary kitchen look much more custom.

I know I know, it’s been 278 some odd days since our last blog post. I blame the economy. Anywho, I wanted to throw up the recently finished deck project we started a few weeks ago. Here are a few money shots from our project, and you can find the rest in our Photo Gallery HERE (Under Carrie in Hopkinton).

With so many differences on the pictures, it would be impossible to dive into all of them. So, like the highlights magazine, lets see how many differences you can find! Hint, there is 17.

Hubley Painting – Carpentry Project

Well, to start a new portion of my blogs will be going through a current carpentry project for Hubley Painting. Ready for the ride?

Today we began rebuilding a customers deck in Hopkinton Massachusetts.

We will be:

1) Removing the railing sections off of the deck, which includes the handrails and balusters

2) Rebuilding a decorative composite sleeve around the framed posts of the railing to enhance their appearance

3) Once the handrails and balusters are removed, we will clean, stain, and reinstall each piece

4) Power wash the deck floor to remove mold, mildew, dirt, etc

5) Replace the deck skirt board

6) And best of all, removing the old lattice, building a better frame, installing two gates, one on each side of the deck, and installing an new cedar privacy lattices which are 3/4 inches thick.
