We at Oak Tree Construction
monitor the trends that are
taking place in remodeling.
Here are a few we found
interesting:
Quartz Finishes. Quartz gives
your kitchen or bath a luxurious
look, but is less expensive and
more durable than marble.
Quartz comes in many colors
and offer consistency from piece
to piece.
LED Cabinet Lighting. Most of
the time, overhead lighting in
kitchens doesn’t give adequate
focus to the countertop area,
often shadowed by the
cabinets. Under-cabinet lighting
provides a great way to
illuminate your countertop
workspace.
Music. If you like to sing in the
shower, this trend is for you!
Shower fixture manufacturers are
now making showerheads with
waterproof speakers that can be
connected by Bluetooth to your
music device. Let the music
play!
Wall-Mounted Toilets. These
are great, especially for small
bathrooms. The tank is typically
placed behind the wall , with the
bowl securely mounted on the
wall. These toilets take up less
floor space in your bathroom.
Gray Color Schemes. Maybe
it’s the popularity of the books,
but homeowners are using
different shades of gray to
decorate their homes. Gray is a
perfect neutral and will really
show off pops of color in
upholstery, knick knacks and
furnishings.
Transitional Style Kitchens.
This “new” style of design blends
the old with the new. For
i nstance, you may use
“traditional” style cabinets with
modern countertops and fixtures.
Or you may have an all white
“modern” kitchen with a farm-
style sink.
Open Showers. Showers
without doors or curtains can
open up a bathroom and make
it appear larger. Plus, they are
great for people with low
mobility!
Whatever trend hits you, or if
you want to start your own trend

and laws regarding renters and

#1 way to communicate and collect
payments for properties.
Before the craziness of the holidays arrive, here
are a few tips for organizing your home to get it
ready for company:
Use what the restaurants use and install
hooks under open shelving units. This
gives you extra space for hanging
coats, backpacks and umbrellas.
Install lockers for each family
member wherever space allows.
Everyone’s clutter can be not-so-
neatly tucked away, but you can close the door!
If lockers or hooks
aren’t feasible, assign
each family member a
sturdy metal bin to collect their
clutter and place it by your entry
door. You can customize them with
magnets or photos of each family member.
Corral your remote controls into a
wide-mouthed vase or other
container.
Baskets near your front door are a
great tool to keep wet shoes and
boots from ruining your carpet.
Simply line the basket with a washable
throw rug or towel.

A Grand Opening! This small kitchen was made to look bigger with a few small tactics and without adding space. Mocha-glazed white cabinets and in-
ceiling lighting help make the kitchen brighter and appear larger. The wall between the kitchen and
dining room was reduced to a half wall (foreground higher countertop) and bordered by decorative pillars (left of
“after” picture). This makes entertaining a breeze with a pass through right to the dining room.
Stainless steel appliances and decorative cabinet knobs complete the look! Projects designed and constructed by OAK TREE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, Inc.OAK TREE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, Inc.OAK TREE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, Inc.OAK TREE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, Inc.
Don’t have a shed? Store flatter
items, such as brooms and rakes, in
your garage between the studs and
use bungee cords over nails to hold them in.
Keep your kindling sticks, pine
cones, log starters, etc. in your
empty flower pots from the summer!
It not only adds a decorative touch, but keeps
your fireplace area clean and organized.
Get organized for the next planting
season! Label bulbs with a
permanent marker (directly on the
bulb) and store seed packets in a mason jar.
Make your holiday checklists! Plan
your gifts & party menus now, and
then shop & enjoy thru the fall!
