Turn your bathroom into your own personal oasis with Precision Design!
“While the COVID-19 pandemic has brought about many unexpected results, the refocus on the home is among the most prominent. Spending so much time at home has sparked a resurgence in remodeling and “changing things up” that rivals the busiest of times.
The bath is a room that has garnered a great deal of attention from weary homeowners, who are craving an at-home oasis that rivals the finest spas.

Creating a timeless kitchen requires the right features, which might leave you wondering, are glass-fronted kitchen cabinets still on trend? While they certainly fit the aesthetic of traditional style, are they still the go-to, or is there a different design that feels more up-to-date and current?
How to design a kitchen that looks bright and airy despite a lack of direct sunlight? Kasie DiNella, founder of Mend Interiors, used a crisp, cool white — Benjamin Moore’s Chantilly Lace — on cabinetry that straddles modern and beachy in this new summer cottage-turned-primary-residence for empty nesters in Dennis. Contrast trim in a taupe-y neutral — Benjamin Moore’s Sea Pearl — adds warmth while a glossy, textured backsplash bounces around the sunlight that filters in. Using rift-sawn white oak shelves with a clear matte finish instead of upper cabinets helps, too. “They’re highly functional for daily use and encourage the homeowners to display personal items so the look can evolve with them over time,” DiNella says.
“Many household kitchens are designed with maximum storage in mind, with cupboards, cabinets and drawers abounding. Even with all this original dedicated space, many homeowners still find themselves in need of additional storage for dry foods, appliances, cutlery, dishware or other kitchen supplies. A standalone kitchen pantry provides additional space in a smaller kitchen and a decorative element to a larger one.
