Wood Floors in the Kitchen

by Marten

Marina District Flats contemporary kitchen

I’m seeing more and more hardwood floors installed in today’s kitchen remodel, and I love it.

There is nothing wrong with stone or tile in the kitchen for durability, especially in vacation rental properties however, the warmth and richness of  hardwoods also has a wonderful appeal.

Yes, a water leak from the fridge or dishwasher may damage a hardwood floor, but a hardwood floor will withstand the everyday wear and tear better than most homeowners may expect, including the occasional spill.
I also  find walking or working on a hardwood floor a lot easier on the back, therefore in the kitchen makes sense to me.
Don’t rule out hardwood flooring in the kitchen as an option when considering a kitchen remodel.
Aloha

Bathroom Sinks

by Marten

Aquila wash basin

This sink has to be one of my personal favorites by Ammonitum.  As a woodworker, I’ve often wondered if a wooden sink was possible. This company not only makes them, they excel in every way. Possibly because they are in the yacht business as well.

Taurus wash basin

I now have a new goal to strive for……………the making of  an exotic hardwood bowl in my woodshop. With the wide variety of exotic woods on Maui, it should be a lot of fun as well.

As a remodeling contractor, I also look forward to incorporating this type of design in one of our future projects.

Aloha and greetings from the Island of Maui.

Travertine is a form of limestone deposited by mineral springs, especially hot springs. Travertine often has a fibrous or concentric appearance and exists in white, tan and cream-colored varieties.
