NARI Awards :)

NARI of Idaho recently held their annual banquet and announced the winners of the design competition. There are several different categories and each remodeler is able to enter up to four projects in separate categories. We entered four this year and took first place in each category!! Two of the projects were mine and I've included some before and after photos below.

By the way, NARI stands for the National Association of the Remodel Industry. Our local chapter was actually started by Jim Strite back in 1991 in order to "raise the bar" in the remodel community. Here's a couple links to the Idaho Chapter and the NARI website if you would like to learn more:

Now, on to the photos . . . first up is a before shot of a kitchen. This was part of the "Residential Interior" category.

And here is the second project . . . this was the "Residential Bath Under $20k".

I won't go into detail on what was done for each project since there's so many photos. I'll be happy to describe the design process or any other information if anyone requests it. I hope you all have a great weekend!!

Professional Photos

I know it's taken a long time, but we finally got the final photos shot last week by a professional photographer. And actually it's not just any "professional photographer", it's a woman by the name of Deborah Hardee. In my opinion she's the best in Boise. In case any of you would like to check out her work - go here: http://deborahhardee.com/

She's awesome - and great to work with too!

Anyway, the reason it took a while to get these photos is because of the furniture. As many of you might know, furniture can take forever to be delivered. But the long wait is over and I have three photos of the completed project. First I'll post the before, and then follow it with the corresponding after shot.

Hope you all like the finished product. Huge thanks to the whole team for such a great project, and even bigger thanks to the clients. I wish all of my clients could be as great to work with as these people were!!
