Holiday Countdown, Is Your Kitchen Ready?

Cabinetry, Entertaining, Geneva Cabinet Company, Holiday

Survive the holidays by planning ahead and preparing your kitchen for the bashing it’s about to take! This doesn’t have to be painful, just follow along and start now!

Organize those spices, line up the labels and alphabetize if you must! Just be sure you have a surplus of those often used holiday flavors like cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla.

Stock the pantry with ingredients for your favorite cooking and baking recipes. When you have a large walk-in pantry you’ll have plenty of room for precious resources!

Take inventory of your cookware and bakeware to be sure you can accommodate new specialty recipes. We like to use a tall deep pantry cabinet for easy visibility and accessibility.

The same applies to serving pieces. Gather your large platters into one location now so they are within reach when you’re ready to plate.

Be sure you small appliances are in working order, the slow cooker, blender, and mixers are all about to earn their cabinet position.

Make space in your refrigerator and freezer so you will have space to freeze cookies and pre-made dishes.

Plan for clean-up before the party starts with soaps, dishwasher detergent, disinfectants and extra towels. Now may be the time to treat yourself to that special dishwasher, like the new Cove from SubZero that will clean and sanitize every plate in silence while your entertaining!

Plan your menu in advance to accommodate signature dishes with the most flattering serving pieces.

Kitchen Backsplash Trends to Inspire

Backsplash, Kitchen Design, Tips and Ideas, Trends

Gone are the days when a 4″ x 4″ kitchen backsplash tile would dazzle your day. The backsplash now plays a leading role in establishing the design aesthetic for your kitchen, and even your entire home. Browse through our top trends and be inspired to make a personal backsplash style statement.

Solid Slab Backsplash

Solid slabs ooze luxury and are available at a variety of price points. The Installation of these sometimes gigantic stone pieces is not for the faint-of-heart. Watch this installation video to see how it’s done.

As you can see perfect measurements and strategic planning are a necessity, but the results are worth it! The streamline simplicity of this look is enhanced when the countertops match.

There is a natural elegance to this backsplash treatment that is appropriate for every area of the home. Here it is used in a beverage bar adjacent to the great room.

On another installation the granite slabs actually glide to reveal secret storage beneath a flawless Raw Urth stainless steel hood.

Take It To The Ceiling

The unbroken vertical line of a full height backsplash will visually lift the ceiling and expand the entire space.

Similarly the full height backsplash as created with high gloss subway tile will brighten any room.

Pattern Play

Colorful patterned tile is another top trend. This lively kitchen uses coral concrete tile as a beautiful way to infuse an otherwise neutral space with confident style.

Designed by Elizabeth Drake Interior Design and built by Lowell Custom Homes.

We employ this technique again to make a statement on a backsplash in a kitchen designed with Plato Woodwork, Inc. Cabinetry. View the full kitchen here to see how the customer’s pottery collection inspired the design.

Shimmer & Shine

Adding a reflective material to the backsplash area will reduce shadows and introduce a delightfully unexpected note. Under cabinet lighting can be added to magnify the effect.

Shapely Patterns

Simplicity doesn’t mean boring, especially when you achieve it with the use of a lovely shaped tile. Honeycomb, arabesques, and other hand cut shapes add interesting texture even when used in a neutral color palette.

Classic Subway with New Point of View

Even with the many beautiful options for backsplash tile, subway remains a leader. The 3 x 6 shape can be ceramic, porcelain or even a natural stone. All of the varieties will create a classic and versatile look a variety of price points.

In contrast to the standard installation pattern, the other possibilities will help you customize this appealing look.

Material Mix Master

Blending different tile patterns can result in totally fresh statement. Here the classic subway is enhanced with an insert of beautiful artisan tile.

Inserts of delicate stone mosaics create an interlacing border in a mesmerizing pattern.

And the selective placement of tile can designates various activity zones within the kitchen.

Make the ultimate statement in your kitchen with a backsplash, countertops and cabinetry that all present a unified design. Our designers specialize in creative combinations and will customized one to your personal taste. Learn more about the creative process and your kitchen design right here.

And learn about the options in countertop materials and how they perform here.

Healthy Kitchen, Healthy You!

Cabinetry, Kitchen Design, Trends

Creating a kitchen for wellness is the modern way to introduce a lifestyle that cares for you and your family. A fresh approach to design can encourage new healthful habits. Our designers at Geneva Cabinet Company, LLC are your cabinet concierges with the expertise you need to make it happen. Follow these tips for a design that will lead you to a healthier home.

Banish the Harmful

As any healthy body knows, it’s what’s inside that counts. The material used in the composition of cabinetry as well as the finishing process is a key factor to product safety. That is why the cabinets from Geneva Cabinet Company are made in the USA to the highest standards. Our products meet or surpass regulatory requirements for low VOC (volatile organic compounds) so you can breath easy. You can read about the commitment to the environment by our manufacturers here for Plato Woodwork, Inc, here for Shiloh Cabinetry, and here for Medallion Cabinetry.

Keep it Clean

The right finishes will help you keep your kitchen clean. Non-porous countertop favorites like Quartz will inhibit the spread of bacteria. We like taking the backsplash up the wall to provide a fully washable surface. Read more about countertop options here. Keep in mind that adding windows in lieu of upper cabinets will let the natural germ fighting power of sunlight pour in.

Visualize Vitality

You will make healthier choices if they are out in the open. To aid in this pursuit Geneva Cabinet Company is designing kitchens with snack stations and open shelving to display delicious still life arrangements of fruits and veggies. Glass door refrigeration is growing in popularity with its visual cues to more nutritious options and refrigerator drawers are being placed at the point of use for easy-to-reach healthy treats.

Engage the Senses

With the focus on real foods, indoor growing rooms and countertop herb gardens are nurturing features. Terra Trellis has elevated the design of indoor gardens with their delightful grow boxes and expert indoor gardening videos are on board to help us cultivate our inner green thumb. Engaging the sense of smell and touch with fresh herbs is known to spark interest in more healthy recipes.

Preserved to Perfection

A focus on freshness comes with the need for food preservation systems to maintains taste, texture and nutrients. Sub Zero is one of our favorites as a pioneer in multiple evaporator and air purifying systems. Refrigeration with separate zones will maximum freshness with controlled humidity to reduce the moisture that accelerates food deterioration. There is also a renewed interest in kitchens with areas of bulk cold storage and compact individual refrigerator units. Think of canned goods, beverages, wine and snacks all maintained at the proper temperature for maximum shelf-life.

The Joy of Cooking

In the era of grocery and meal kit delivery, there is more time for the pure pleasure of cooking. Convection, steam and induction methods are speeding up the process with superior taste and nutrition. Technology adds novelty to the experience with voice controlled faucets and programmable appliances. The kitchen plan can encourage cooking efforts of multiple-generations in the household as they work together re-creating traditional family recipes.

Touchy Feely

While we are tuned-in to the visual appearance of a kitchen, the tactile experience is just as valuable to well-being. There is nothing as satisfying as drawer glides that operate smoothly and the secure fit of a well made cabinet door. Substantial hardware with a solid accessible grip offers ease of operation. In this kitchen we use knobs and pulls from Emtek in the classic Ribbon & Reed design.

To see more healthy living designs stop in to our state-of-the-art showroom. We are open to the public and have endless inspiration for cabinetry design in every room of your home.

Donate for a Rewarding Remodel!

Cabinetry, Geneva Cabinet Company, Kitchen Design, Remodeling

So you want to remodel your kitchen, but hate the idea of wasting the existing cabinetry? We have a solution for you! Donate your old cabinets and usable appliances to a good cause like Habitat for Humanity! We are at your service to make it happen with no extra effort when you do a kitchen or bath project with Geneva Cabinet Company!

Project Manager Mike Jeffrey meets with Jake Weiler from Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity Restore.

This location is one of many home improvement stores around the country that gladly accepts new or gently used furniture, appliances, cabinetry and other building components like windows and doors. You donations are sold and the proceeds go to your local Habitat effort to provide affordable housing.

For this project our team did a great job of deconstructing the beautiful cherry cabinetry that was unfortunately not working for the homeowners. Our team had the cabinets, countertops and lighting ready to go for Habitat Milwaukee. You can contact them directly to schedule your own pick up or ask for our help during the planning phase of your project.

In this case we are working with incredibly generous homeowners who even donated appliances that were like-new! A special thank you to them and all of the volunteers at Habitat who made the entire process so rewarding!

In the meantime, our designer Joyce Zuelke, ckd has been hard at work designing the new kitchen layout. With her trademark ingenuity, the new kitchen will feature a fresh open concept with increased storage and new Medallion Cabinetry.

Stay tuned for the big reveal, it will look a little something like this!

Our designers would love to help you with your kitchen, bath and storage improvements! Our cabinetry is beautifully made in the USA to the highest standards. Stop in to our Lake Geneva showroom to browse for ideas or call us today!

Kitchen Remodeling Tips to Get the Kitchen You Want

Before and After, Kitchen Design, Remodeling

There are two types of kitchen people, those who love theirs and those who are under-whelmed every time they pass through. Shouldn’t you adore one of the most important rooms in your home? It’s possible to completely change your disposition with a kitchen remodeling assist from Geneva Cabinet Company, LLC.

We’re sure you’ve heard the advice, “start with a plan”. We like to simplify the planning process into tips that will change your BEFORE into an AFTER you love!

#1 Scrutinize your kitchen layout

What currently works and what just feels dreary? We recommend a comprehensive assessment to start you on the right track before you begin any kitchen remodeling project.

#2 Work with your existing footprint when possible

You’ll notice in the floor plan below that we opened up the space by moving the bathroom to the outside corner. A closer look reveals that the plumbing is actually in the same location. Any time you can renovate a room without disturbing plumbing you are on the side of savings.

#3 Consider traffic patterns and work flow to avoid bottlenecks

Yes, the kitchen work triangle is still relevant. Start by considering the choreography of people who are in the kitchen together. Don’t force everyone to wiggle around obstacles, and each other. Notice that the refrigerator in this AFTER plan has been moved to the outskirts of the work triangle to avoid a crash and possible burn near the cooking surface.

#4 Add storage not just space.

We’re not saying that because we sell cabinetry. It is more cost efficient to maximize storage space without adding square feet. We like to design with tall cabinets that reclaim wasted wall space. They are perfect for storing seasonal and rarely used pieces. For more storage ideas click here.

#5 Configure for Convenience

Doors or drawers? It’s important to know how you will use each area before you choose the type of cabinet storage. Drawers offer natural organization and easy access. Cabinets are ideal for versatility and storing bulky items.

#6 Keep It Open

You will use things more often when stored on open shelving for top-of-mind awareness. Even the interior of your cabinet door can be updated with visible storage for often used condiments.

#7 Divide and Conquer

Move over Maria Kondo, we have organization tools that will definitely change your life. Not only do door and drawer organizers keep you efficient, just opening the cabinet will give you joy!

#7 The Landing Zone

To keep the entire home clutter-free we love the idea of a landing zone, this one is just off of the kitchen. Dedicating a space to collect things like keys and jackets will keep your home tidy.

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Schilthelm Builders on this kitchen remodeling project! Cabinetry from Plato Woodwork, Inc. was used in their crisp Arctic White finish on the Artisan style door.

Enjoy this kitchen from every angle right here in a video that walks you through Before, Elevations and After.

New Kitchen Island Transforms the Kitchen

Cabinetry, Countertops, Kitchen Design, Kitchen Island

We can all agree that this is a perfectly nice kitchen. But our homeowners were hoping to elevate their style while increasing storage and adding some much needed island seating.

Enter the talented kitchen and bath designer, Joyce Zuelke, ckd. She created a more functional space with the addition of a redesigned island. There is even a new Pinterest worthy coffee bar for good measure. Along with updates to the lighting and some stunning ceiling detail, this kitchen takes on an entirely new character.

Kitchen Island Update

The original kitchen was created with cabinetry from Bea Industries in Elkhorn, Wi. It had a user-friendly U-shape layout. While stylish and open, our homeowner was looking for an improved kitchen island that would step-up the function of the space.

Cabinetry from Plato Woodwork, Inc. was selected in a deep stain which enhanced the natural wood grain. This rich finish served as a distinct contrast to ground the bright white kitchen.

The island is topped with a lovely Cambria quartz countertop in the Ella pattern from their Marble Collection. Subtle veining reflects the warm island stain while soft white connects to the surrounding cabinetry. It works beautifully with the perimeter of granite countertops.

But it’s not just about having a gorgeous kitchen, the layout must be functional for a kitchen that is comfortable and convenient. Notice the 48 ½” clearance between the island and the stove for safe usage when the oven door is open. The close proximity to the island steam oven keeps the cooking zone tight and functional.

The island also features the secret to great cabinet storage, easy access pull-out shelving. They will keep everyday items visible and within reach to improve daily workflow.

Our Most Popular Pictures Signal Trends for 2018

Cabinetry, Kitchen Design, Trends

Survey says . . . .

these will be the most popular ideas for your home cabinetry design in 2018!

We evaluated the results of our most liked and saved pictures on Houzz, Facebook & Pinterest to come up with predictions for the hottest 2018 trends for cabinetry in your kitchens, bath and laundry room.

Take a look and let us know if you agree!

All Eyes on the Range Hood

The range hood is a deserving centerpiece for the kitchen. As kitchens become highly integrated for open concept living, the range takes center stage. Make it a showstopper with a stunning hood like this one from Scathain. Notice too, the mix of metals in this room designed with lovely cabinetry from Plato Woodwork , Inc.

Uppers Optional

All about that base . . . . cabinet . . . especially when you want the kitchen to be open and airy. While you enjoy the views from expansive windows instead of upper cabinets, easy-access deep drawers make it extra convenient! Gone are the days of bending and searching through the dark back of your cabinets, with drawers like these from Shiloh Cabinetry, your stuff slides out to you.

Storage Walls

So when you eliminate the upper cabinets where do you store kitchen necessities? How about an entire wall of floor to ceiling cabinets? These too are from Shiloh Cabinetry.

Pull-Outs Go Beyond the Spice Rack

While you’re designing that storage wall, or any other cabinet, be sure to include the new and improved pull-out organizers. They are deeper, wider and more versatile than ever. Sturdy engineering can handle cooking oil, bottled condiments and other essentials to suit your needs.

Multi-Tasking Laundry Rooms

Oh, it’s a thing! The laundry has evolved into a dutiful multipurpose space. Think indoor she-shed with space for crafting, gardening and gift wrap as well as laundry chores. In addition to a high-tech washer and dryer, this laundry designed with cabinetry from Plato Woodworking, Inc. includes extra outlets that can be used as charging stations for portable electronics.

Drawers Work Around Plumbing

Remember when under sink storage was a wasteland of hard to reach cleaning supplies. No longer a problem! This cabinet by Shiloh Cabinetry includes a drawers made to wrap around plumbing and create more easy-to-reach space for bathroom supplies. Side Note: The popularity of this driftwood finish will be happening in 2018.

Open Shelving

Are you noticing a theme here? The trends for 2018 have everything to do with keeping your kitchen open and clutter free. It’s a fresh clean aesthetic with more comforts than extreme minimalism. Here upper cabinets are replaced by floating shelves featuring puck lighting to create bright, usable counter space that is not crowded by upper cabinets.

Statement Backsplash

While subway tile is a classic, we are seeing a movement towards artistic tile treatments featuring large colorful patterns. The required hard surfaces that make a kitchen efficient can benefit from a touch of decor, and the backsplash is an ideal place to make a memorable impression.

Grey is the New Black

Need we say more . . . .

Yes, because while grey is gaining momentum, white and black will remain high on the list of desired cabinet colors. An interesting mix of multiple cabinet finishes will be highly desirable in 2018 and beyond.

Customized for the Perfect Fit

Every bathroom deserves some style, but the reality is that many bathrooms do not allow space for creativity. The solution is to modify a standard cabinet or customize a piece like this one to fully utilize the space with fashion forward design.

If your plans for the New Year include new cabinetry for your home,

relax

we are here to help!

Top 10 Tips – Prepare Your Kitchen for Holiday Entertaining

Holiday, Kitchen Design

It’s time to enjoy the holiday party season . . . even when you’re the host! If your guests are like most, they will gather around your busy kitchen. Our advanced planning ideas will let you enjoy their company while you entertain stress-free for the holidays!

Our Top 10 Tips (and the estimated amount of time for planning)*

#1 Clean clutter from countertops (1 hr to clean/1hr to decorate)

This is the most important step. Keep your countertops clutter-free in your beautiful holiday kitchen! Pack away non-holiday decorative accessories. Keep your work surfaces free and ready for service at a moments notice. Baking, gift-wrapping, food preparation and food service all need this space. Keep countertop holiday décor minimal and use the vertical surfaces to hang wreaths, ornaments and other holiday sentiments from removable hooks.

#2 Refrigerator/Freezer purge (1hr)

What is lurking in the back of that refrigerator and freeze? Time to eat it or toss it. Make way for this seasons delectable treats. Holiday cookies can be prebaked and stored in your roomy freezer while prearranged serving trays will be wrapped and ready to go as soon as guests arrive.

#3 Clean and shine cooking appliances! (2hrs)

Nothing feels as fresh as clean appliances! Run the oven cleaning cycle right now, don’t wait until its time to bake the rum cake. Do a deep cleaning for the dishwasher, microwave and even the toaster oven. While you’re at it, find the instruction manuals so you can master the defrost cycle and meat probe before you’re under pressure.

#4 Find your favorite recipes and cookware (30 minutes or all night if you’re on Pinterest)

Pull out those family recipes and scan the Internet for new ideas. Print out, place bookmarks and make an extra copy for markup during cooking and shopping. Find all of the cookware you will use, sharpen the knives and find the turkey baster in advance. Devote a section of your clean countertop to the cooking essentials arranged by recipe so you can smoothly execute each move.

#5 Inventory spices & condiments (15 minutes)

Now that you are recipes ready, maximize your cooking efforts with fresh ingredients. Spices do expire and so does that ketchup Uncle Marv wants to put on your prime rib roast . . . no judgment.

#6 Serving pieces front and center (15 minutes)

You know the fabulous platter you uncovered at an estate sale, where did that go? Find it now and place it, along with your other favorite serving pieces, within easy reach at the front of your cabinet. Wash, polish and ready for plating.

#6 1/2 Serving trays

Ditto, we just want to show you this cool tray storage cabinet.

#7 Double duty kitchen zone (15 minutes)

Dedicate a specialty area of your kitchen to a new purpose for party time. The kitchen-planning desk becomes a perfect location for a hot chocolate, coffee or desert bar.

#8 Beverage Bar (30 minutes)

Visibility will encourage your guests to help themselves and free you up for other hosting duties. Wash and dry wine and cocktail glasses with a lint free towel. Gather and conveniently arrange all ingredients for your featured cocktails.

#9 Artisan Ice – It’s a thing (5 Minutes and then maybe another 5 + 5 + 5 + 5)

Hardness, density, melt-time . . . your drink connoisseurs will notice! At the very least, empty the old ice from your bin. Take it to the next level by preparing your own cubes with boiled-distilled water or invest in one of the new generation ice-makers that will do all of the work for you.

#10 Last but not least-trash talk (15 minutes)

It may not be glamorous, but it needs more than a stick up deodorizer. Wash and disinfect trash and recycle containers to prevent unwelcome odors from polluting your holiday buffet. Pick up an extra large bin to place out of sight for the easy disposal of bulky items when you are entertaining a big group.

So there you have it! Devote a couple of hours for a few days or one good Saturday and you’re ready!

Now enjoy the entire holiday season with no last minute hassles!

*Disclaimer – all time estimates assume you have the ideal Geneva Cabinet Kitchen!

If you are thinking of gifting yourself a new kitchen for the holidays,

we can help from planning, to selection, to installation!

Plan for clean-up before the party starts with soaps, dishwasher detergent, disinfectants and extra towels. Now may be the time to treat yourself to that special dishwasher, like the new Cove from SubZero that will clean and sanitize every plate in silence while your entertaining!

Plan your menu in advance to accommodate signature dishes with the most flattering serving pieces.
