Remodeling On A Budget

One of the great benefits of being a homeowner is the freedom to take on remodeling projects to add beauty and value to your home. Many homeowners have a laundry list of remodeling ideas but simply do not have the budget to complete their list. When it comes to remodeling projects, there are a plethora of changes that can be made to your home without a large price tag attached. While cabinets and countertops are the specialty of Creative Stone, here are a few remodeling projects that can be done on a relatively small budget.

You already know that one way to spruce up a room is by changing the paint color on the walls, but have you ever considered changing the color of your ceiling? We have seen this color change create a more modern and sleek look to living areas. If color on your ceiling is not a good option, how about changing the color of the blades on your ceiling fans? It is a very simple color change but it can have a big impact on the overall look of a room. A trend we are seeing more and more among homeowners is bolder color choices for entry doors.

For a touch of added character inside your home, one remodeling project could be to place decorative trim around your windows and doorways. While you are at it, you could replace window blinds with roman shades for a quick updated look. Adding your own Wainscot paneling to living area walls, or changing the baseboard trim are budget friendly ideas as well.

Many homeowners want to focus their remodeling projects in the kitchen and the bathroom. When major changes are made, these two rooms can be a couple of the most expensive remodeling projects to undertake as a homeowner. However, small remodeling projects can still happen in bathrooms and kitchens. Consider changing the faucets on sinks, or the hardware on your cabinets.

At Creative Stone, we love to help clients with their remodeling projects. If you are looking to update your countertops or cabinets, let us help you find the perfect option for your design aesthetic and your budget. It can be done! Give us a call at (910) 491-1225 today!

Choosing The Perfect Cabinets

When you think of your perfect kitchen space, what do you see first? For many people, their eyes are drawn to how modern the appliances are, what kind of countertops have been installed, or how the color of the room impacts the overall feel. Truly though, the heart of a kitchen lies within the choice of cabinets and how they are laid out. Minimal cabinets give off the vibe of a more open space, but also provide the least amount of storage options. Tall cabinets and cabinets that wrap around a good portion of the kitchen provide a lot more storage area, but can make a kitchen seem smaller in size. When it comes to kitchen design, you want to pick the perfect cabinets.

At Fayetteville Granite, our team of cabinetry professionals can help you make those big cabinet decisions. How much storage do you want, and how much space do you have in your kitchen to fit in the cabinets you desire without making the space feel cramped. Cabinet color is important too. A lighter cabinet color can make a room seem bigger, and when paired with the perfect countertop and flooring, it can completely transform an outdated kitchen into a newer, more modern kitchen.

When you turn to Fayetteville Granite to assist you in picking your perfect cabinets, we can help you decide whether stock cabinets will work best in your space, or if in order to create the look you are trying to achieve, custom cabinetry is needed. While stock cabinet choices are limited, the configurations and materials available through custom cabinetry are practically endless. Whatever your cabinet needs are, Fayetteville Granite has the perfect solution for you. We provide clients with cabinet choices from well known brands like Procraft, Kitchen Cabinet Distributors, and Marsh Furniture.

If you are ready to install new cabinets in your kitchen space, Fayetteville Granite is ready to help! Come see us in Fayetteville, NC at our Raeford Road location or give us a call today at (910) 483-0468. Our goal is to help you see your kitchen dreams come true!

Refinishing Your Hardwood Flooring With Magnus Anderson

We have heard this story more times than we can adequately count. Homeowners decide to get rid of their aging carpet or vinyl flooring and are pleasantly surprised to find great hardwood flooring underneath. The only problem is that the hardwood flooring is dull and faded. They want to know if we can save their hardwood flooring and return it to it’s former glory. Of course, our answer is nearly always that yes we can. Magnus Anderson prides itself on providing high quality flooring options to our clients and that includes refinishing existing hardwood flooring.

Our professional team is specifically trained in hardwood floor refinishing and certified by the Magnus Anderson Institute for Master Floor Refinishers. When it comes to refinishing your hardwood flooring, you can be sure that the experts at Magnus Anderson know what they are doing. For starters, we use the Magnus Anderson Dust Containment System, a high powered vacuum that removes the dust created by the sanding process. If you know anything about sanding floors, then you probably know that a lot of dust accumulates during the process. Our Dust Containment System makes the job of getting rid of all of that dust a lot easier, making for a healthier environment for you and your family.

We use a Swedish waterborne finish when we refinish hardwood flooring. This finish is safer for the environment, has no toxic fumes, and is the strongest finish of its kind. As a matter of fact, you should be able to walk on your newly refinished hardwood flooring in socks in just a matter of three to four hours! You won’t even have to leave your home during the process, and the results are so satisfying, we back them up with a 20 year no dulling guarantee.
