A “Bold & Beautiful” Remodel
Sustainable
Manufacturing
Tenhulzen Residential, a CC dealer in Bellevue, WA, recently completed a bright,
cheerful remodel of a family’s main living space. Here is the Before & After on this
colorful project:
Canyon Creek has been incorporating green technology into our
manufacturing since 1991. Our
long-standing commitment to
the environment encompasses
everything from energy use,
resource conservation and
recycling, to low-VOC finishes
and sustainable products. As a
result of our focus, we were the
first cabinet company awarded
the KCMA’s Environmental
Stewardship Program Certificate.
While the kitchen was completely
gutted, Tenhulzen worked within
the existing floor plan. Bright
yellow and deep red walls in
the original kitchen hint at the
homeowners’ love of color.
Cabinets are Millennia frameless
in the Shaker door style
ISO
CERTIFIED
9001:2008
Colorful dishware is displayed in new
glass-front cabinets. While the arrangement
of cabinets is basically unchanged, the glass
backsplash and white walls make the kitchen
feel much larger and brighter.

“Bold & Beautiful” Remodel
continued
Looking from the kitchen into the family room, you
can see how the removal of the short peninsula at
right opened up the space and creates better traffic
flow. Cabinets on the far wall echo the blue from
the kitchen.
While the usable pantry space is unchanged,
the bump-out for the door has been removed.
The concept for the red pocket door was based
on a British phone booth. Colorful shelves were
designed to accommodate a variety of packaging.
Bright yellow cabinets were introduced into
the adjacent family room, where a new desk
and hutch-like cabinets provide additional
storage and work space. The blue, yellow
and green cabinets were ordered through
our Pick Your Paint program to match paint
swatches provided by the customer (the red
was painted on-site).

Build A Better Beverage Station
Whether you entertain a lot or just have an active,
thirsty family, beverage stations are a great addition to
your kitchen or family room. From a dedicated coffee
counter or juice & water spot to a fully-stocked bar,
custom cabinets can integrate the serving area into the
rest of your space.
While you can match the cabinets in your kitchens, a
beverage station can be a fun way to introduce a new
look. Think about adding a pop of color with painted
cabinets, or a different door style to mix things up.
Glass cabinet doors can keep attractive wine glasses on
display, or a stemware holder underneath the cabinet
can be used for that bar effect. Also, incorporate your
appliances into your cabinet designs so they fit seamlessly into your space.
In addition, you’ll definitely want a mini fridge or wine
chiller, along with an ice maker so you’ll be ready to
serve up cold drinks at the drop of a hat. A small sink is
great for washing up a couple of glasses, and will help
keep the kitchen sink open during a gathering.
Start Your Day In Style
We all know that having an organized closet can save time
when getting ready, and also spares hanging items from
getting wrinkled, smashed and disregarded. But being organized
is only the half of it. With a custom closet design you can have
organization and a stylish, pleasant place to start your day.
Imagine having your shoes on a rack instead of in a pile, or
your suits organized by color and separated from your shirts.
Before you get too involved in customizing your closet, take an
inventory of your clothing and accessories to know how much you
plan on including in your revamped closet. This is a great time to
purge ill-fitting, out-of-style items, and helps you to make sure
you know what you are working with.
Take the opportunity to “play” with your closet design–going for
the maximum amount of drawers or hanging space will get the
job done, but why not have some fun? Angled shoe shelves will
give you a boutique feel, as will things like mirrors, pictures or
even small furniture if the room allows for it.
For functionality, laundry hamper pull-outs are a great way to
keep dirty clothes out of sight, and who wouldn’t want a washer
and dryer this handy?

Maximize Your Kitchen Storage
Once upon a time, kitchen cupboards were vertical boxes with shelves, or
horizontal boxes that held silverware and a few utensils. Today’s cabinets
are a different breed, with lots of options that allow you to make the most of
your space. This means more than having a lazy Susan in the corner. In fact, it
means you can do just about whatever you want!
Drawers aren’t little anymore. Of the many trends finding their way into
kitchen cupboards these days, large drawers with organizers are some of the
most popular and basic. A silverware drawer that keeps all the utensils in
their correct place is only the beginning. Many kitchen designs are implementing deep, wide base drawers for pots and pans. Add some pegs for
stacking and you have your entire collection in a tidy and accessible place.
Pull out your storage. Imagine not needing to sit on the floor to reach all
the way back to find what you are looking for–simply pull it out to you! Tall,
narrow pull-outs with three or four shelves are often used on either side of a
cooktop to store spices and oils. Roll-out trays are basically shallow drawers
that replace shelves in a standard cabinet. There are even optimizers that
utilize all of the space in blind corner cabinets!
Liven Up Your Kitchen With Glass Doors
Want to bring some color into your kitchen and break up a
large wall of cabinets? Consider glass-front cabinet doors. By
using glass, you are not only making your kitchen feel bigger,
you are also creating a way to show off your colorful dinnerware, or that one-of-a-kind pitcher that you bought on
vacation. With glass kitchen cabinet doors you can keep these
items out of harm’s way, but still on display.
Even if you don’t want to display everything in your cabinets,
glass doors don’t have to be sparkling clear. In fact, having a
frosted texture over your pantry doors to mask the candy bars
and the cereal boxes is an excellent way to go. There are all
kinds of glass options from patterned to etched, and grooved
to opaque, that still give your kitchen the lively style it needs.
Colors will come through the glass, but not the details of the
cabinet’s contents.
In addition to glass, there are a number of decorative acrylic
panel inserts that will accent your design. You can also use
wire mesh, punched tin, stained glass, metal sheeting, or any
number of unique materials to customize your cabinets.
