Outdoor Kitchen Makeover

Summer’s almost over, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy spending time outdoors.  Barbecuing is a must around this time of year, and now with Faux Panels you can be grilling with style. Decorating your outdoor kitchen, barbecue or deck area with Faux Panels is so easy and the results will last a lifetime. You’ll begin receiving compliments almost immediately.

Here’s just one example of what our customer’s have done to their “grilling stations”:

This satisfied customer told us,

“I was building a frame for my grill and it soon turned into a whole bar and grill project. Originally I was going to use a stone veneer and I priced it out. Price was not an issue, but the weight was. My wife’s company had built me a frame out of aluminum and I doubt it would have supported the heavy stone and so I went on an internet search. It was a matter of minutes before I discovered faux panels and my samples were on the way.”

Our panels are perfect for your indoor and outdoor decoration needs. With numerous styles and colors and colors, there’s a panel for just about any home modification.  And for jobs that may include an open flame near the panels, be sure to check out the Oxford and Norwich lines. Both lines have the option to be fire-rated.

Spring Spruce-Up Series: Who Says White is Boring?

Entrance with Nailon Stone in Glacier White

There are two towns in the area where I live that are about six miles away from each other, yet virtually a universe apart when it comes to their building aesthetic. One of them is your classic New England village, with stately old whaling captain houses - lots of white wood and black shutters. The other is well…not. The majority of the town is covered in little summer cottages and restaurants that are every bright color you could imagine, usually in the pink and purple families. We’re not talking understated lavenders and roses here…

So shocking magenta or violet may not be your cup of tea, but the average white wood house isn’t really your bag either. You might want to consider the look of white brick or stone. White looks good with everything, no matter what your landscaping or surrounding areas look like, yet the texture can give your house that little something extra. And what a more perfect time to spiffy up your home’s exterior than spring?

 

Luckily faux panels are super-easy to clean, and if after awhile you feel like a change, they easily can be painted. You just might want to avoid that can of Pepto-Bismol pink.

A House with Curb Appeal

House with Nailon Desert Buff Faux SidingCraig W. from Florida completed renovations to his home prior to selling and sent in this photo of the house’s completed exterior with Nailon Desert Buff  faux stone siding. Craig’s finished result is an excellent example of a house with terrific curb appeal – attractive, tidy and ready to make a great first impression to prospective buyers.

 

 In addition to the fresh look of the installed paneling, you’ll notice a few elements of the front exterior of the home that would draw in potential buyers.

• The front door looks new and bright, with an interesting window detail in the middle to catch the eye.

• There is a nice mailbox with surrounding vegetation with the house number clearly visible.

• The bushes and flowers in the front garden are neat, well kept and symmetrical.

• The white stones bordering the flower bed and the walkway nicely set off the green grass.

• The white lattice on the right side is a nice visual touch while also hiding the gutter.

• Wind chimes hung by the door can create a nice welcoming sound for visitors – you should make your house appeal to all the senses after all!
