Many of our current projects are hitting that exciting stage where style and color begin to fill in the the rough sketches of framing and drywall. All of that time spent researching looks and styles and finishes and the endless pins and likes on Pinterest & Houzz are finally flying off the webpage and into a kitchen or living room. We also have a new porch project that just started but is already soaring in the trees. And, wait until the end for a complete surprise on our new custom home in Dawsonville.

Read MoreSo, the kitchen of your dreams isn’t white walls with white cabinets and white granite? This elegant kitchen remodel, with its lush natural tones, reminds us that there is more to kitchen design than white cabinetry. Tucked at the back of house in a stand of Georgia pines, this kitchen brings the outside in with a similar color palette of wood tones, forest greens, and natural materials a plenty.
Read MoreThe moment this sign goes up in a yard, exciting things are underway — transformation from outdated or small to wow is about to get going. It also means that our team has spent many hours preparing for this moment: consults with the architect, visits to the permitting office, and many, many decisions about this door or that, PVC windows or wood, this wall here or here.
Read More"Love, true love, is what brings us together today. . ." In this case, it is a chef's love for cooking that brought our BAC team to his home. Unsatisfied with his home kitchen, he wanted to transform it, update it, and make him #lovewherehecooks!
Read MoreThe essence of farmhouse design is more than just artsy throw pillows and or rustic signs with painted farm animals hung on the walls. A true farmhouse design is much more focused on connections -- connecting the true heart of the home, the kitchen, more intimately with the living areas, and making it not just beautiful, but highly functional and comfortable.
Read MoreA swift perusal through the latest home remodeling magazines will give a taste of the very diverse ideas trending in kitchen design right now. However, it seems that no matter the style, in design there is something that unites the current trend in kitchen remodels -- the open floor plan. What have we learned from the past? Walls are confining; they separate. Upper cabinets aren't really necessary for storage. The work of the kitchen doesn't have to be separated from relaxation or talk or togetherness. The result?

We eat (a lot it seems), do homework, chat, and even entertain in them. For our homeowners, the phrase "heart of the home" is apt -- several hallways, the sunroom room, back door, and family room all flow in and out of this one room. They took on the challenge and asked to help them re:fresh their kitchen by gutting it and installing all new cabinets, new counter-tops, and new appliances.
Read MoreAh, the age old question. In the word "renovation" is one opinion - new is better! Your old siding, windows, kitchen, bathroom--they have to go! "Out with the old and in with the new" is a time-worn slogan with reason. However, there is something comforting, familiar, and nostalgic about the old.
