Did anyone watch that super bowl game? It was a pretty good game. I don’t watch a lot of football but every now and again I catch a glimpse. I really only watched to catch the half time show but that also wasn’t as big as I thought it would be. Seemed to me it was more a Vegas performance than anything. Which, I guess it was in Vegas and it was Usher who resides in Vegas performing, so not too surprising just wasn’t what I was expecting. Wonder what next year will bring and who will be playing in next years game. Now that you have had all those friends and family members over, did you notice the amount of space you are lacking? I’m sure you did because I’m sure your friends and family did. Why not build that outdoor living area you have been dreaming about? Or what about extending your kitchen onto that deck you don’t really ever use? If you thought about it, we need to hear about it, give us a call so we can chat 425-224-2004

Classic Remodeling NW has made these homeowners really happy. These were returning clients we did work for in their crawlspace many years ago. They came to us with some more crawl space and work as well as wanting to remodel their kitchen and move their laundry room upstairs giving themselves a new walk-in pantry where the laundry used to be. These homeowners didn’t want any paint showing on their walls in the kitchen, so what did we do, we covered everything in cabinets and tiles. The beautiful white cabinets and dark bases give that modern look and feel. That pretty grey tile in between fits just perfectly in this kitchen. The homeowner had a friend over when I was getting final photos and she told me how much she even loved the tile. That kind of feedback is just what we like to hear. Not only are our homeowners happy, but also their friends/family are happy for them and also love the work. If you want to love your home, we are waiting for your call. We service from Marysville to North Seattle, so if you are in need of a contractor to assist you with your project within these service areas, then give us a call at 425-224-2004. We would love to meet with you and go over your project needs.
Start Small, Dream Big: 7 Expert Tips To Make Your Starter House Feel More Like A Forever Home

Truth: many of us have a love-hate relationship with our kitchens.
On one hand, it’s a warm and cozy space for families to gather. At the same time, the kitchen is the home’s 24/7 eat-in restaurant, where loads of meal prep and cleaning take place.
Still, this workhorse room deserves a little love now and then – and what better time for a few small style tweaks than at the beginning of the year?
Yup, 2024 presents a golden opportunity to take a hard look at your cook space and decide where you can make some improvements. To help you on this journey, we’ve got a few smart ideas from designers in the know.
So, go forth and cook in style with these hot 2024 trends for the kitchen.
1.Mixed Materials
Leave your plain-Jane kitchen in the past, and embrace the interplay of different materials. The same white-on-white look is sterile and cold. But when you take a chance on something fresher, you’ll achieve “a lively yet refined feel,” notes Ariel Barrionuevo, design at La Coraline Island House.
Barrionuevo recommends mixing wood and metals, as with the kitchen and island and chairs above.
His suggestion: “Try light oak combined with brushed steel and natural stone – and then add in pops of color with accessories.”
You can also hang industrial metal lights over a wooden, butcher-block counter, or install a metal backsplash under cherry cabinets.
2.Open Shelving
Leave your plain-Jane kitchen in the past, and embrace the interplay of different materials. The same white-on-white look is sterile and cold. But when you take a chance on something fresher, you’ll achieve “a lively yet refined feel,” notes Ariel Barrionuevo, design at La Coraline Island House.

4. Sky Blue
When the colors of the year are announced, the design world pounces – which is definitely the case with the true blue hue, dubbed Blue Nova, just introduced by Benjamin Moore.
Dan Mazzarini, principal and creative director of BDHM Design and ARCHIVE, is already a big fan of this cornflower blue, which can be used to significant effect in the kitchen, as shown on the island above.
Blue Nova is a mid tone blue that skews more violet-blue, without a speck of green. try this sky-high shade on your kitchen cabinets, as tile on a backsplash, or on the floor via a runner or sink rug.
5. Darker Countertops
Another hot trend, says Pamela O-Brien, principal designer at Pamela Hope Designs, is a fresh embrace of moodier kitchen counters.
“Clients seem poised to prefer darker, heavily patterned stones again, and there’s lots of movement in slab designs, too,” she explains.
And homeowners are shelling out big bucks to make it happen.
“I’m seeing folks spend much more on their countertops, selecting exotic quartzites and marbles – even for the whole house,” O’Brien adds.
This makes good sense given the fact that lots of us are staying put in the homes we own rather than venturing into the real estate market and the elevated interest rates that come with it.
6. Slim Shaker Cabinets
Shaker-style cabinets in the kitchen have always been a top pick. Lately, though, there’s a lot of interest in the “slim shaker” look, says Philip Consalvo, principal of PJCArchitecture. These boxes, which feature a narrower border at the cabinet edges, offer a modern take on the classic shaker design.
