			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 class="subtitle">Fashionable Selections<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1777" title="Kitchen Remodeling" src="http://www.alcoaconstruction.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/kitchen-island-300x300.jpg" alt="Kitchen Remodeling" width="300" height="300" /></h2>

<p>In today&#039;s remodeling  market there are endless choices when it comes to kitchen selections.  One of the major improvements that comes with a kitchen remodel are  cabinets. Many trends are available. Before deciding on the cabinets for  your kitchen go through all of the cabinet options there are in today&#039;s  market. Contact a professional kitchen remodeler, like Alcoa  Construction, for all of your <a rel="nofollow" href="../renovations/">kitchen remodeling</a> needs and have them help you pick a style and function that you will  come to love for years to come.</p>

<p>One of the most popular trends  seen in kitchens today are floor to ceiling cabinets. This allows the  kitchen tons of storage and shelving. This in turn is not only  aesthetically pleasing but it solves the problem of lack of storage that  many kitchens have. Another popular option is display space in the  cabinets. Open shelving and door less cabinetry are becoming a favorite  choice. This lets the homeowner display china and heirloom accessories.  The combination of open faced cabinets and cabinets with doors breaks up  the monotony in a kitchen and gives the home a charming affect.</p>

<p>When  deciding to remodel your kitchen, efficiency should be one of the top  priorities. This includes the efficiency within the cabinetry. Lazy  Susans, roll out trays, bread boxes, hide in cabinets, storage pullouts,  pull out drawers, attached shelves for pots and pans, recycling  holders, garbage bins, racks for canned goods, and much more are all  features that are homeowner friendly. They allow for great convenience  and help keep the kitchen organized without the struggle of trying to  reach items in the back of cabinets. Decide what your main wants and  needs are and add efficient extras into your cabinetry during the  kitchen remodel.</p>

<p>Another homeowner friendly convenience being  included in cabinets is to actually add appliances into the cabinets.  Blending the appliances into the look of the cabinets gives the kitchen a  more uniformed and stylish appeal. By simply adding a cabinet facade  panel to appliances, they take on the look of cabinetry instead of  utilitarian appliances. Everything from dishwashers, trash compactors,  ice makers, refrigerators, freezers, and even microwaves can be  disguised. For smaller kitchen appliances like mixers, coffee makers,  and toasters have built in doors added directly on the countertop that  lift and swing up. This allows you to keep your daily used appliances  right on the counter for convenience yet hide them for a clutter free  beautiful kitchen.</p>

<p>Cabinetry shouldn&#039;t stop at function. It has  become  very fashionable to have a good finish on the cabinets. Take the  cabinets from mere wood to a work of art. Distressed finishes have  gained popularity in the past couple of years. Crackled finishes and  finishes that reveal the rough natural wood grain bring depth and  richness to a kitchen with style. Another decorative element to keep in  mind is color. Cabinetry today comes in a wide range of color choices.  Maple is the most popular wood used in the construction of cabinets  because it can be easily stained, painted, and altered. With the help of  a kitchen remodeling contractor pick through the various techniques out  there and create unique custom cabinets for your kitchen.</p>

<p>Non  traditional arrangements of the cabinets also bring a decorative element  and style to the kitchen. Staggered set ups create eye movement and  provide a whimsical atmosphere. Create a height illusion by stair  stepping the cabinets. This creates a very pleasing visual effect. Have  upper cabinets installed directly on the countertop for more storage and  to help better blend the kitchen.</p>

<p>A fun trend that has taken  America by storm is installing cabinetry that has the look of furniture.  This European influenced idea can include pieces that seem to be free  standing but are actually attached cabinetry. Design cabinets that mimic  hutches, pie safes, and even buffets. Top moldings assist in helping  the theme carry on into an adjacent breakfast room.</p>

<p>For a lively  kitchen have cabinetry accent pieces. Try adding bright pops of color to  the kitchen through an island or cabinet the emphasizes a fun vibrant  color.This livens a kitchen and provides a little excitement to what can  often times become a mundane room of the house. An accent colored  island is the most favored selection that homeowners today are choosing.  Also try adding in different type of woods. This breaks the monotony in  the kitchen and allows the homeowner to play with the mixing of woods  in the kitchen. Try making the center island a completely different type  of wood and add stools to give the island the look of a table versus an  island itself.</p>

<p>A final trend that is very popular are  embellishments. When home kitchen remodeling remember to include  architectural design. Wood valances, under the counter corbels,  mullioned doors, fancy feet on islands, commanding pilasters, arched  openings, carvings, cut outs, molding, and even cornices all add  emphasis to different aspects of the cabinetry. Architecturally  designing the cabinetry allows the homeowner to give the kitchen a bold,  finished, custom look that really reflects their style and personality.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 class="subtitle">Luxury Appliances Of Today<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1768" title="Home Remodeling" src="http://www.alcoaconstruction.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/dishwasher.jpeg" alt="Home Remodeling" width="400" height="400" /></h2>

<p>Every  home has the basic appliances. Refrigerator, washer, microwave, and  other appliances all seem standard and not really special within a home.  Right? Think again! With today&#039;s technology, appliances are taking on  personalities of their own! Listed below are some the top of the line  appliances available today. For more options and even more amazing  technologically advanced appliance choices contact a professional <a rel="nofollow" href="../">home remodeling  contractor</a>, like Alcoa Construction of Delaware, and let the fun  begin!</p>

<p>The first new advanced appliance is the Samsung four door  convertible refrigerator. With this appliance you are able to change  refrigerator space into freezer space and then switch back later at your  will. The refrigerator features four separate compartments to suit your  needs. There are four evaporators, one for each compartment, that work  to maintain humidity and protect produce and odor penetration. The  refrigerator is 25 cubic feet and costs about $3000.</p>

<p>Another great  appliance is the TMIO Connect IO Intelligent Oven - 30 inch  Professional Series Stainless double wall ovens. These are remote  operation ovens. The ovens refrigerate food until a programmed cook  time, then the unit switches to an oven and cooks. This is great for the  family on the go! For example you can prepare a casserole the night  before. Simply place the dish in the wall oven. The oven then  refrigerates your meal until a designated time before you get home from  work. You then come home from work and have a meal already cooked and  ready to serve! The oven can also start via cell phone or the internet  in the circumstance that plans change or you are simply running late.  This must have conventional/convection oven goes for about $7495.</p>

<p>A  fun and funky appliance that is top of the line is the Elmira Stove  Works Northstar Range. This is a retro style range great for the  homeowner who likes to decorate with a vintage retro flare! This stove  creates an instant focal point in the kitchen. It comes in a variety of  colors including Candy Red, Mint Green, Flamingo Pink, or any custom  retro shade of your choice! This range features an arched backguard and  spiffy chrome trimmed nostalgic clock dial. It is offered in smooth top,  gas, or dual fuel mode. The stove is a 30 inch range ,four cubic feet,  and is self cleaning. Enjoy the look of retro with the conveniences of  new for about $3695!</p>

<p>Style shouldn&#039;t just be for kitchen  appliances. Washers and dryers are making design statements as well. The  designer laundry pair Kenmore Elite HE4t washer and dryer feature  striking designer hues. The front loading washer is 3.8 cubic feet and  can clean about 23 bath towels at a time. The top loading dryer is 7  cubic feet and the perfect match! Both appliances are energy savers and  save on both water and power. The washer goes for about $1499 and the  dryer $999 making them a must have laundry appliance!</p>

<p>When you  think microwave you think of the mundane little appliance that simply  reheats or cooks things and leaves them mushy. Well not anymore! The  Whirlpool Velos g2convect convection microwave is the new trend in  microwaves! This microwave does more than just reheat! It grills, bakes,  and broils like a convection oven but with the speed of a microwave!  The g2max technology even has a feature that allows you to soften butter  without melting it! This great kitchen appliance sells for $830 to  $925!</p>

<p>Have you ever cleaned up after dinner only to fill up your  dishwasher and end up hand washing most of the dinnerware and all of the  pots and pans? Well problem solved! The Maytag Jet Clean II triple tier  dishwasher is the solution to this problem! It is a large capacity  dishwasher that can wash up to 14 full place settings! The dishwasher  features a Flex Load third rack that holds and cleans baking dishes and  larger items. The high pressure jets and four wash arms make for a no  pre rinsing needed experience. Amazingly this dishwasher is the same  size as a standard dishwasher. To top it all off, this appliance has  sound silencers that make it virtually impossible to tell when the  dishwasher is in use. This top notch appliance has an Energy Star rating  and is priced from $699 to $859.</p>

<p>Laundry is a daily chore that  every household encounters. This next appliance takes some of the hassle  out of the task of laundry. It is the Eurotech combo washer. It is a  washer and dryer in one! This washer is great for small spaces such as a  studio apartment, a guest house, or even a home with limited laundry  access. Half the space of a regular laundry pair is used since it is  just one unit. This appliance provides the utmost convenience because  there is no need to transfer the laundry. The spin speeds of this washer  dryer combo are up to 1200 rpm and remove the majority of the moisture.  This in turn reduces the drying time of the laundry. The machine also  features an internal moisture condenser, similar to a dehumidifier, so  there is no need for venting. This unit sells for about $1200. All you  need is a water hook up and access to 110 volt power and your washer  dryer combo is ready to go and take the hassle out of your chore!</p>

<p>Another  appliance that is great for smaller spaces is a two element cook top.  Many manufacturers offer this appliance. It is a small 12 inch range yet  manages to be very versatile. This appliance entails two glass ceramic  heating zones or two electronic ignition burners. It is a superior  choice for homes or guest houses that have limited counter space, or for  even a second vacation home where you might not ever need to use 4  burners at once. The two element cook top ranges in price from $429 to  $449 and is a wonderful option!</p>

<p>Range hoods are an often times  overlooked appliance in the kitchen. The Zephyr Elica Collection is  changing that with their ventilation hood lines. These hoods are not  just your average hoods. They come in 13 art models ranging from  abstract to modern to vintage to country chic. These hoods are a  ductless operation and have an infrared remote control to showcase the  hood. Take your kitchen hood from utilitarian to a work of art!</p>

<p>A  final top of the line must have home appliance is the double capacity  refrigerator. The Master Series model is a great option. Instead of the  usual 20 to 25 cubic feet refrigerator this model is 48.3 cubic feet.  The Northland Kitchen Appliance series advertises that the fridge is  indestructible! If you are looking for added refrigeration space this is  the appliance for you!</p>

Once you&#039;ve made the  decision to make over your bathroom it can be a little overwhelming to  know where to start. (...)]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 class="subtitle">Make It A Smooth Process<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1764" title="Bathroom Remodelers" src="http://www.alcoaconstruction.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/custom-renovation9.jpg" alt="Bathroom Remodelers" width="617" height="463" /></h2>

<p>Once you&#039;ve made the  decision to make over your bathroom it can be a little overwhelming to  know where to start. The most important thing is to have a well planned  and thought out process. It is best, and in the long run can save you  both money and time, to hire a <a rel="nofollow" href="../renovations/bath-remodeling/">bathroom  remodeling contractor</a>, like Alcoa Construction of Delaware. Hiring a  professional will help you have a well designed and organized plan that  will get your bathroom remodel finished in a timely efficient manner.</p>

<p>First,  you need to meet with your contractor and figure out exactly what you  want your bathroom remodel to achieve. The contractor will help you come  up with solutions that will solve your bathroom needs and create the  bathroom sanctuary that you are desiring.</p>

<p>Once your plan is in  place it is time to start the actual remodel. The first thing that will  happen is the basic demolition. This phase can include removing old  tile, tearing out dated fixtures, and even knocking down walls. During  demolition the basic structure of the bathroom is revealed. This is the  time to replace any water or termite damage that may have occurred over  the years. This is also an ideal time to expand your bathroom if need  be.To create more room in a bathroom consider taking space from a  closet. Knock out the wall and steal the space from a linen closet or  even an unused bedroom.</p>

<p>When bathroom remodeling don&#039;t be afraid  to think outside of the box. Your old plumbing can most likely be easily  rerouted. If the current bathroom setup doesn&#039;t work for you or if you  prefer a different layout then look into redoing your plumbing and  achieving the bathroom you want.</p>

<p>Once the major demolition and  repairs are finished in the bathroom remodel it&#039;s time to make design  decisions. There are a lot of options out there to choose from.  Everything from wall color to cabinets to fixtures needs to be selected.  The best option is to talk to a remodeling contractor and figure out  exactly what design options fit your needs and style. To stay within a  budget, yet retain luxury in your bathroom, consider going basic on  certain aspects and then adding the upscale amenities in other areas of  the bathroom. Another huge part of the design process is the flooring.  Ceramic tile is the most popular choice for bathroom floors. It is often  chosen because it is very durable, is easy to clean up, and is moisture  resistant. For a feeling of more space lay your tile on a diagonal.  This aesthetically is more appealing and opens up the bathroom.</p>

<p>In  today&#039;s world people are becoming very energy efficient savvy.  Everything from appliances to flooring comes in energy efficient  options. One option that often gets overlooked is insulation. Replacing  old wall boards and insulation can save you lots of money and energy.</p>

<p>Once  these choices and selections have all been made you are well on your  way to a complete bathroom remodel. Before you know it you will be  relaxing in and enjoying your new bathroom. You can also rest assured  that you made a great investment. Recent studies show that most bathroom  remodels, if properly planned, have a 93.2% return of cost on resale.  So contact a <a  rel="nofollow" href="http://alcoaconstruction.wetpaint.com/page/Bathroom+Remodeling">bath  remodeling contractor</a>, like Alcoa Construction of Delaware, today  and get the bathroom you&#039;ve always dreamed about.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Clever Garage Upgrades 

Garages are often thought  of as just a place to either house a vehicle or store items. (...)]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 class="subtitle">Clever Garage Upgrades <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1761" title="Garage Builder" src="http://www.alcoaconstruction.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/garage-with-apartment.jpg" alt="Garage Builder" width="617" height="413" /></h2>

<p>Garages are often thought  of as just a place to either house a vehicle or store items. Today&#039;s  garages are full of lawn mowers, tools, toys, sports equipments, spare  refrigerators, and other things that have no other place to be stored.  However, this doesn&#039;t need to be the only function of a garage.  Homeowners are beginning to transform their garages into more than just a  storage unit. They are becoming additional living spaces and functional  areas. There are many options when deciding to convert your garage into  something more. For more additional selections and to figure a design  plan that fits your home and needs contact a <a rel="nofollow" href="../additions/garages">garage builder</a> or <a rel="nofollow" href="../">home  remodeling contractor</a> like Alcoa Construction of Delaware.</p>

<p>One way to enhance your garage is to create organized storage space.  Many garages are packed full of possessions, yet there is no  organization. This results in the garage becoming a messy obstacle  course to manuveur around. Consider adding a built in storage unit. This  provides organization and gets stuff off of the floor. Built in units  can include shelving, cabinets, and even platforms that lower from the  ceiling. This allows you to store both the car and objects while still  having walking room.</p>

<p>Another impressive garage transformation  idea is to turn the garage into an exercise room. Often times homes are  not equipped or designed for the function of a home gym. To create such a  space a guest bedroom must be used or the home simply contains area for  working out. Remodeling the garage into a gym is the perfect solution.  This saves money on gym membership costs and offers the convenience and  privacy of working out in your own home. Rubber flooring, floor to  ceiling mirrors, a tv, and a built in weight system are great additions  to your garage turned home gym.</p>

<p>For the more musically inclined  homeowner consider adapting the garage into a home music studio. In  addition, this is a great option for the home that has teenagers who are  in a band or practice a musical instrument. This creates a separate  practice space for loud music and still gives the rest of the home a  quiet peaceful atmosphere. Sound proof material can be added on the  walls, ceiling, and even doors. Upgrading the electrical capacity of the  garage will allow for more instruments and tools to be plugged in and  in use a the same time.</p>

<p>Another garage enhancement consideration  to make is moving the washer and dryer into the garage, thus adding a  laundry area. Shelving, a countertop, cabinets, a built in ironing  board, a hanging bar, and even a sink are all great additions to the new  laundry space. This allots for great convenience when doing laundry and  helps make the chore less laborsome. For extra room in the home knock  out the wall that housed the old laundry area. This new space is a  magnificent nook for storage. Depending on the size of the old area it  could even be transformed into brilliant space for a home study or  library.</p>

<p>One of the most popular garage transformations  homeowners are making is reconstructing the garage into a recreational  space. Pool tables, table tennis, air hockey, foos ball tables, and  other games are making their way into the garage. Couches, tvs, and game  systems are also excellent additions. Wet bars are very popular assets  to the recreational space. This space provides extra elbow room and soon  becomes a popular hangout in the home. It is a wonderful conversion for  those who love to entertain. It is a fun place to hang out with family  and friends in a casual environment.</p>

<p>In today&#039;s world many people  are working from home. With the increase in home business owners and  stay at  home mothers more and more people are desiring home offices but  often times there is no space in the home. A garage makeover into a  home office is a superb alternative. The addition of an exterior door  and even building a wall separating the office from the rest of the  garage is an excellent way to have your office right at home yet still  provide a professional atmosphere.</p>

<p>When renovating a garage the  interior isn&#039;t the only thing that can be changed. Many people are  building up. Adding living quarters above the garage has become a very  admired choice. These new living quarters are an exceptional space for a  parent, adult child, or even guests. This allows privacy for guests and  family while they are staying with you. For extra income consider  turning the living quarters into a rental unit.</p>

<p>These are just a  few of the selection ideas available for garage transformations. For  additional ideas, designs, and free price estimates contact a custom  home builder or home improvement contractor like Alcoa  Construction.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 class="subtitle" style="text-align: center;">Variety Of  Options<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1747" title="Kitchen Renovation" src="http://www.alcoaconstruction.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/custom-renovation7.jpg" alt="Kitchen Renovation" width="617" height="463" /></h2>

<p>The selection of a  kitchen sink is a pertinent decision when designing your kitchen  remodel. There are a variety of styles, sizes, and materials on the  market today. Meet with a professional kitchen  remodeling contractor, like Alcoa Construction of Delaware, to see  all of choices available and choose the perfect sink to fit your kitchen  needs. Listed below are several of the material options provided for  kitchen sinks.</p>

<p>The first material option, and often times the most  popular, is stainless steel. When people first hear of stainless steel  they think of the low grade, noisy, cheap sinks of the past. However,  stainless steel sinks today are thicker and better than they used to be.  They now are usually 16 to 18 gauge. Because they are thicker they are  less noisy. Surprisingly stainless steel sinks are also less expensive.  These sinks actually contain a percentage of chromium and nickel  material. They impart a rich glow and and are corrosion resistant. The  finish of a stainless steel sink vary from a mirror like finish to a  satin luster finish depending on the wants of the homeowner. Stainless  steel sinks are continually being improved upon and are a great option  for a kitchen remodel that will help you stay within budget.</p>

<p>Another  alternative for sink options is a cast iron sink. Cast iron sinks are  gaining popularity in homes because cast iron is a very sturdy material.  It is enamel fired on an iron form. Cast iron sinks are very durable  sinks and lessen both noise and vibration within the kitchen. Another  perk to a cast iron sink is that they come in a wide variety of colors.  This gives the homeowner some design lee way and allows them to pick a  sink that will blend perfectly with the rest of the kitchen. One of the  only downfalls to a cast iron sink is that it is very heavy and makes  for a slightly harder installation. A professional remodeling contractor  should be used for installation.</p>

<p>Composite sinks are starting to  become a more popular option and are popping up in kitchens more and  more. Composite sinks are a made of quartz, granite, or other such  material mixed with acrylic or polyester resin base. Composite sinks are  very attractive and quickly become a beautiful focal point in the  kitchen. They feature a speckled color that is resistant to stains and  scratches. Composite sinks are very easy to care for and don&#039;t require  special cleaner or polish. Composite sinks are a more expensive option  but many homeowner&#039;s find they are a must have upgrade option when  kitchen remodeling.</p>

<p>A sink material that many people don&#039;t think  of using is vitreous china. Vitreous china sinks were originally created  for use in bathrooms. They are a glazed clay that is very hard.  Vitreous sinks are great options because they are non porous making them  moisture resistant and great for frequently used sinks. Their non  porous trait is created because the nature of the construction process.  They are very similar to fire clay in construction, cost, and  durability. Vitreous chins sinks are easy to mold and are a superior  option especially for double sink bowls. They feature a glass like shine  and are a very sophisticated sink alternative.</p>

<p>A final highly  recommended and chosen kitchen sink material selection is solid  surfacing. Solid surfacing sinks are made from polyester and acrylic  bases. They are often chosen because of their stone like appearance.  They take on the look and feel of stone but are more durable, less  expensive, and feature very easy care.</p>

<p>These are just a few  options available when choosing a kitchen sink. When creating the  perfect kitchen remodel to fit your needs contact a kitchen remodeler  and view the seemingly endless accessible options. Also visit the  consumer reports website for more unbiased recommendations.</p>

And addition of a kitchen island is a  great way to improve on your kitchen! It is a simple solution to solving  many kitchen design problems. The addition of islands in kitchens are  becoming must have designs that can fit any persons budget! There are  several benefits to having a kitchen island.

First and foremost,  an island provides for added space through more counter top. The extra  counter top soon becomes a functioning workspace. Many islands often  include a built in butcher block just for this purpose. Not only does  the island provide the much needed extra workspace but it also serves as  the perfect casual dining spot. Bar stools are a great asset to the  island creating a great place for on the go meals.

Storage seems  to be something that is always lacking in every kitchen. The addition of  an island allows for extra storage perfect for storing pots, pans,  tupperware, and much more! Islands are also a great place for kitchen  appliances. Many people are having dishwashers, sinks, stoves, and even  microwaves built right into their island. This creates convenience and  enhances the visual appeal of a kitchen.

Visual aesthetics of a  kitchen can either make or break a home. An island is a great way to  really spruce up your kitchen and make it another beautiful room in the  house not just a place to cook. When designing an island remember to  proportion your island to your kitchen. For example if your kitchen is  long and narrow be sure to mirror the design in your island. Painting  your island a vibrant shade is a great way to add a pop of color and  style to your kitchen.

For more information and design options for  your kitchen island contact a kitchen remodeling contractor,  like Alcoa Construction,  and discover your options today!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 class="subtitle" style="text-align: center;">Storage Solutions<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1739" title="bathroom remodeling delaware" src="http://www.alcoaconstruction.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/custom-renovation91.jpg" alt="bathroom remodeling delaware" width="617" height="463" /></h2>

<p>Lack of storage seems to  be a problem that all bathrooms have no matter how large or small the  space. It is virtually impossible to have too much storage space in your  bathroom. Instead there always seems to not be enough space for  everything that needs storing. Today&#039;s vanities can be beautiful,  modern, and chic yet they offer limited storage. Below are some simple  solutions to the limited storage problems that we all face! For more  bathroom remodeling ideas and solutions contact a professional bathroom  remodeler , like Alcoa Construction, and find options that best  suit your needs.</p>

<p>One possible solution is a floor to ceiling  storage unit. This unit provides a great place to store items that might  normally be kept in the hall linen closet. This makes for easier access  and provides extra bathroom shelving. In addition to the shelving on  the unit, consider adding drawers. Drawers that are on the countertop of  the unit are a great place to keep small essentials used in everyday  bathroom access.  Floor to ceiling storage units are also able to house  sinks. This is the perfect option if your bathroom currently only has  one sink. Why stop there? Add a cushioned bench seat in your unit. This  creates additional storage under the seat and a place to sit in the  bathroom.</p>

<p>Another storage option is adding a partial wall next to  the toilet. This not only creates a private compartment to house the  toilet, allowing more privacy, but also provides a place for shelving.  The addition of shelves in the wall generates a surprising amount of  storage space.</p>

<p>A more in depth choice is to investigate the space  between wall studs. Often times there is quite a bit of space right  within the walls. Once the space is found and a design is developed, you  can cut out niches in the walls, reframe the opening, and add shelving  or even a cabinet. This crafts a ton of storage space and gives your  bathroom an expensive custom look.</p>

<p>If you are not willing to take  the time, energy, and money to actually look in you walls then just  simply add to them. Put shelving throughout the bathroom. Add shelves  above the toilet, about the door, next to the shower, or even above  towel racks. If you are looking for a more decorative selection add  cubes to the walls. These storage units fasten directly to the wall and  are both attractive and functional. Mix both closed and open faced cubes  for an even trendier effect.</p>

<p>Pull out shelving is also a bathroom  luxury that has become very popular. Replace your normal bathroom  cabinets with pull out shelving, much like a spice rack in the kitchen.  This gives you easier access to bathroom items, allows you to keep  everything more organized, and actually provides more storage space.  Tilt out bins can also sometimes be built into the outside of the  bathtub. They make use of the unused storage that lies in the walls of  the tub. The bins have a recessed panel door to the tub that tilts out  and is a great place to store towels, soaps, and much more.</p>

<p>Another  bathroom luxury that also can function as storage is a towel warmer.  Add a warming drawer for towels. Instead of placing a new towel in the  drawer each time you shower keep all of your towels folded in the  drawer. This makes for a nice warm towel every time you get out of the  shower and eliminates the need for an outside linen towel closet.</p>

<p>For  more great storage answers contact bathroom remodeling contractors,  such as Alcoa Construction, and discover the endless options!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Fashionable Selections

In today&#039;s remodeling  market there are endless choices when it comes to kitchen selections. (...)]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 class="subtitle" style="text-align: center;">Fashionable Selections<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1735" title="Kitchen Remodeling" src="http://www.alcoaconstruction.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/kitchen-island.jpg" alt="Kitchen Remodeling" width="450" height="450" /></h2>

<p>In today&#039;s remodeling  market there are endless choices when it comes to kitchen selections.  One of the major improvements that comes with a kitchen  remodel are cabinets. Many trends are available. Before deciding on  the cabinets for your kitchen go through all of the cabinet options  there are in today&#039;s market. Contact a professional kitchen remodeler, like  Alcoa Construction, for all of your kitchen remodeling  needs and have them help you pick a style and function that you will  come to love for years to come.</p>

<p>One of the most popular trends  seen in kitchens today are floor to ceiling cabinets. This allows the  kitchen tons of storage and shelving. This in turn is not only  aesthetically pleasing but it solves the problem of lack of storage that  many kitchens have. Another popular option is display space in the  cabinets. Open shelving and door less cabinetry are becoming a favorite  choice. This lets the homeowner display china and heirloom accessories.  The combination of open faced cabinets and cabinets with doors breaks up  the monotony in a kitchen and gives the home a charming affect.</p>

<p>When  deciding to remodel your kitchen, efficiency should be one of the top  priorities. This includes the efficiency within the cabinetry. Lazy  Susans, roll out trays, bread boxes, hide in cabinets, storage pullouts,  pull out drawers, attached shelves for pots and pans, recycling  holders, garbage bins, racks for canned goods, and much more are all  features that are homeowner friendly. They allow for great convenience  and help keep the kitchen organized without the struggle of trying to  reach items in the back of cabinets. Decide what your main wants and  needs are and add efficient extras into your cabinetry during the  kitchen remodel.</p>

<p>Another homeowner friendly convenience being  included in cabinets is to actually add appliances into the cabinets.  Blending the appliances into the look of the cabinets gives the kitchen a  more uniformed and stylish appeal. By simply adding a cabinet facade  panel to appliances, they take on the look of cabinetry instead of  utilitarian appliances. Everything from dishwashers, trash compactors,  ice makers, refrigerators, freezers, and even microwaves can be  disguised. For smaller kitchen appliances like mixers, coffee makers,  and toasters have built in doors added directly on the countertop that  lift and swing up. This allows you to keep your daily used appliances  right on the counter for convenience yet hide them for a clutter free  beautiful kitchen.</p>

<p>Cabinetry shouldn&#039;t stop at function. It has  become  very fashionable to have a good finish on the cabinets. Take the  cabinets from mere wood to a work of art. Distressed finishes have  gained popularity in the past couple of years. Crackled finishes and  finishes that reveal the rough natural wood grain bring depth and  richness to a kitchen with style. Another decorative element to keep in  mind is color. Cabinetry today comes in a wide range of color choices.  Maple is the most popular wood used in the construction of cabinets  because it can be easily stained, painted, and altered. With the help of  a kitchen remodeling contractor pick through the various techniques out  there and create unique custom cabinets for your kitchen.</p>

<p>Non  traditional arrangements of the cabinets also bring a decorative element  and style to the kitchen. Staggered set ups create eye movement and  provide a whimsical atmosphere. Create a height illusion by stair  stepping the cabinets. This creates a very pleasing visual effect. Have  upper cabinets installed directly on the countertop for more storage and  to help better blend the kitchen.</p>

<p>A fun trend that has taken  America by storm is installing cabinetry that has the look of furniture.  This European influenced idea can include pieces that seem to be free  standing but are actually attached cabinetry. Design cabinets that mimic  hutches, pie safes, and even buffets. Top moldings assist in helping  the theme carry on into an adjacent breakfast room.</p>

<p>For a lively  kitchen have cabinetry accent pieces. Try adding bright pops of color to  the kitchen through an island or cabinet the emphasizes a fun vibrant  color.This livens a kitchen and provides a little excitement to what can  often times become a mundane room of the house. An accent colored  island is the most favored selection that homeowners today are choosing.  Also try adding in different type of woods. This breaks the monotony in  the kitchen and allows the homeowner to play with the mixing of woods  in the kitchen. Try making the center island a completely different type  of wood and add stools to give the island the look of a table versus an  island itself.</p>

<p>A final trend that is very popular are  embellishments. When home kitchen remodeling remember to include  architectural design. Wood valances, under the counter corbels,  mullioned doors, fancy feet on islands, commanding pilasters, arched  openings, carvings, cut outs, molding, and even cornices all add  emphasis to different aspects of the cabinetry. Architecturally  designing the cabinetry allows the homeowner to give the kitchen a bold,  finished, custom look that really reflects their style and personality.</p>

<p>For  more popular kitchen cabinet trends and to see what other selections  are available when kitchen remodeling contact a kitchen remodeler, like  Alcoa Construction of Delaware, near you.</p>
