I think Vegas architecture displays what can happen if you combine unlimited amounts of money and imagination.

City Center, from the outside is spectacular with distorted arcs, rectangles and squares all dancing in front of you.  However, the inside is a more sedate space, opulent and elegant for the ultra high end shops.

The Bellagio hotel has my vote for the most pleasing lobby space but the Paris and Venetian are close contenders.  If you wondered if my girls were as impressed as I was with the architecture, I think you know the answer.  “Can we just get some ice cream or go buy something?” was what I heard after pointing out another incredible faux ceiling or floor.

What didn’t stay in Vegas is how it affected me.  City Center dominates the strip in Las Vegas because  it’s daring and innovative.  Playful shapes are intoxicating.

Combining arcs, squares and rectangles can lift a classical well designed kitchen to a new level of interest.  It’s a goal any good designer would strive for.

What Happens in Vegas. . . . . . .

I just got back from an interesting trip to Las Vegas.   My wife and my daughters, 12 and 14 yrs old joined me in our quest for something unusual rather than going to the beaches in Florida.  Not sure how much my girls got out of the visit to fantasy city in Nevada but I know my wife and I were stunned.

We have begun installing our new display of Greenfield Cabinetry.  We are using some interesting materials to complement the cabinetry ; a black galaxy granite top with a solid strong 2" eased edge ; a beautiful and graceful stainless steel sink with an apron front and a set back drain ; the floor is an indestructible vinyl  made in Japan by Toli with wide stainless feature strips to accentuate the floor and make a connection  to the stainless appliances.  We will post pictures of the new display on our site so you can see for yourself some of what I have described.  We think you will enjoy the overall refreshing minimalist look we strived for in designing this display.  Some have called it a "New York Loft" design and we think the cosmopolitan design will be just right for many clients looking for something simple and classic. With a little more edge than is usually seen and with pieces that fit together like a puzzle, we think this display will appeal to many people looking for something different.

One of our Certified Kitchen Designers (CKD), Berrye Fishman has been traveling in Europe and will be back soon in the showroom on March 26.  If you visit us, ask her about her stay in Budapest and Paris.  She will probably want to design a Parisian inspired kitchen for you !  And don't forget to ask for a cup of our hot cocoa or coffee.

New finishes, new door styles, and new reduced pricing is what it is all about these days in the world of cabinetry.  And we have some news that should interest anyone shopping for their home project.

We have a  new cabinet line in the showroom that is built with the all wood construction and fine finishes we like to offer to our clients.  Greenfield Cabinetry (http://Greenfieldcabinetry.com), an offshoot of the well known Corsi Cabinet line of cabinets offers our clients a very well made cabinet at a very competitive price.  It would be worth your time to look at their beautiful traditional inset style (fitted doors and drawers) that has been popular in the Washington area.

We have also been privileged to offer another fine cabinet line,  Signature Custom Cabinetry, (http://SignatureCab.com) for over 12 yrs. Their superior cabinet quality and their very personal customer service has made them  a leader and they are constantly looking for ways to help their customers and their dealers.

Another new developement is QCCI, Quality Custom Cabinetry Inc., (http://QCCI.com), has just announced they are dramatically reducing their price  for painting their cabinetry.  And, to make it even sweeter, they are willing to paint in any color on the Benjamin Moore fan....WOW!  This cabinet company has always been exceptional in their construction, finishing and detailing and this makes them an even better value (than they already are) in the upper price range.

I will have more news as we get closer to the New Year.......another exciting value line is going to be added and you really need to see what they can do for your project.
