A: I went to the University of Nebraska at Kearney where I studied interior design with an emphasis in kitchens and baths. Andy also went to UNK and earned a degree in telecommunications. After college, I took a job with a firm in Chicago where I worked under one of the best kitchen and bath designers in the country, Jeff Cannata. At that time, telecom was really suffering, so Andy started working for the same company as me and eventually worked his way up to lead installer. Andy and I have been working together ever since. Today, I work in the showroom as the lead designer, specking product, selling, and of course, designing. Andy works as our general contractor and specializes in the finish carpentry. Working together as a team is terrific.

Q: How do you see the remodeling market looking right now? What are some trends you’re seeing?
A: The remodeling market looks pretty good. We have stayed pretty steady, but are expecting 2013 to be a big year. We have done a lot of bathrooms in the past year. Kitchens are still pretty steady, but people are a little tighter with their money than in years past. As for trends, we’re seeing a lot of clean, basic door styles and white in cabinets, countertops, tile, etc...not a lot of heavy detail like we used to do five to 10 years ago. We’re also seeing a lot of grey accents. People really want to simplify their lives. We are all very busy, so whatever makes things more convenient is what we want!

Q: What’s been one of your favorite projects or experiences with a customer/on the job?
We have one client in particular that we have remodeled just about every room in their home. We did the kitchen, three bathrooms, laundry room, family room, den, dining room, and the garage. Yes, the garage! We told them that when they sell, we might as well buy it because we have redone the entire home! Q: Tell us about your own home. Plans for your own home remodeling jobs?
We live just north of Dundee in the Metcalf Park neighborhood and absolutely love it. Our home is a classic brick one-and-a-half story Tudor. It was built in 1935 and we enjoying bringing her back to her original beauty. Our decorating style is mostly traditional with a little eclectic flair.
