It is pretty simple - buy your kitchen from Prestige Interiors and your appliances from Custom Distributors and we will deduct 15% of your appliance purchase from your kitchen. Be sure to tell them you are buying your kitchen from Prestige Interiors to get your discount. You must purchase your appliances before January 1st, 2009 to qualify.

Custom Distributors is always a great place to purchase appliances. A referral is required, such as Prestige Interiors, to meet the manufacturer requirements for the type of business and pricing offered. Besides always having great prices, the showroom experience and the service offered are the best in the area. There are an amazing number of brands and products available - from builder models to the high end built-ins and commercial type models. There are 2 locations in the area, 9190 Seward Road in Fairfield and 8096 Production Dr Suite C, in Florence. The Fairfield location is the main office and showroom and has the most on display.

Wellborn Forest has new product introductions

New doors

2 new door styles are available. Alexander and Avondale both feature 5-pc drawer fronts that match the doors.

4 new colors are available: Champagne (off-white), Linen (beige), Paprika (reddish), and Caviar (black). The new colors are added to the previous solid colors Pistachio (green), Ivory (off-white), Arctic (white) and Banana Cream (yellow) and together they all make up the new Essentials Collection.

New highlight glazing

The new Silhouette Collection has been created consisting of 2 new highlight glazes - Sable (dark brown) and Smoke (black). The highlighting is available on selected doors and moldings where it is effective. The highlighting differs from the 5 glazes previously available because it is applied only to the profiles and recesses of the doors, drawers and moldings - not the entire surfaces. Highlighting is designed to add a clean accent that is more even and consistent without the overall tonal effect of glazing.

We are taking on a new cabinet supplier. Pioneer Cabinetry is manufactured in Davison, Michigan and brings a bit of customization to a popular price point. Pioneer will build special sizes and will color match for unique finish stains and paints--all at a price that is close to more standard production cabinets. Pioneer production schedule is typically 4 to 5 weeks, again close to the production cabinets. Pioneer's strong point is the top notch hand finish they apply to all of their cabinets.

Here are some of Pioneer's specialty doors ↓ (many more available)

Woods available include maple, cherry, hickory and oak. There is a wide range of stains available and 8 painted finishes are also offered. Glazing, weathering and distressing are available. Custom stains and paints are also available.

Our color and finish samples arrived recently. We have some door samples on order and will be adding to our selection in time.

March 2008

Trends

Discussion-type articles in the March online version of Kitchen and Bath Business, a trade publication, center on trends and stainless steel. The articles address common questions that arise when considering a new kitchen.

In the article about trends, “kitchens as living rooms” is mentioned as the biggest trend. Participants said more homeowners are knocking down walls, especially between the old kitchen and dining room, making a larger, more comfortable space. Everyone seems to gather in the kitchen and we want a kitchen that accommodates the situation.

Another topic is stainless steel in the kitchen – fad or lasting color? The opinions quoted seem to be that stainless will be around a long while and that it will not “date” the kitchen, even referring to stainless as classic. Other colors will rise in popularity, like black or possibly a new darker color (like Jenn-Air’s new oil rubbed bronze color).
