Construction ResourcesAfter last year’s eye-catching Wellborn Cabinet booth displays at the 2012 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS, the industry’s biggest show going), Construction Resources again partnered with the American cabinet giant to build unique and alluring displays for KBIS 2013. Our award-winning fabricators worked hard to bring a variety of products, including Cambria and Artisan Group materials to the event and show off the best in American-made surfaces hand-in-hand with high profile American-built cabinetry!

We used ten of the favorite Cambria designs in the Wellborn booth, from crisp, trendy white countertops to dazzling options from the jewel collection. We also got to use award-winning Artisan Group granite and shape a stunning Heritage Wood island. The booth is an amazing example of the full range of domestic kitchen options. For instance:

  • In the Kitchen, Cambria’s Berkeley, Devon, Torquay and Waverton can be found. Devon, a beautiful grey-black shade that is peaceful and neutral, takes center stage on the kitchen’s island while consumer favorite Torquay frames the perimeter of the kitchen area. There is also a kitchen display with Artisan Group Golden Crystal, a granite material with beautiful yellow and metallic hues that shines as counter surface or makes a dazzling centerpiece island. Finally, there and a center prep island with a Distressed Black Walnut surface from Heritage Wood, which recalls the glory days of old world farmhouse kitchens but with added durability and ease of maintence.
  • In the Bath, Dovedale, Minera, Newport and Windermere Cambria shades are available.
  • Praa Sands, a quartz design of neutral grays and creamy whites with hints of ocean blue and mirrored flecks, shines in the mud room exhibit.
  • Whitney, another favorite from the Jewel collection that recalls snow crystals and winter skies with flecks of silver and gray, fills in the laundry, office and craft room displays.

To learn how we can add Cambria, Artisan Group granite or Heritage Wood to your home’s magnificence with powerful displays of timeless, easy to care for stone surfaces, stop by our design centers in Decatur, Buckhead, Alpharetta and Gwinnett. You can also save big by coming to our Spring Sale on Mother’s Day weekend – where we can help you bring Cambria surfaces home at 15 percent off!

granite countertops The housing market is seeing signs of recovery nationwide, so this spring will be an excellent time to put your home on the market. In preparing your home for the resale market, there are a number of areas to pay attention to so that you attract buyers; and Construction Resources can help you with two of the most important areas: kitchen remodeling and bathroom renovation!

An outdated kitchen can break how buyers perceive your home, and can disqualify a home from an otherwise interested buyer. If your kitchen is of an older style and is dark or outdated, now is the time to update it: homes with neutral and modern kitchens will always appeal to buyers more than offering a kitchen allowance because an allowance means additional work and hassle, which may be undesirable to buyers seeking a move-in ready home. Instead, new paint on walls and cabinets, updated door and drawer pulls, and a new countertop can make your kitchen like new, even on a small budget. We can help with a huge variety of granite countertops, including luxury Artisan Group granite as well as economically-priced options and selections from our remnant yard.

Right behind the kitchen in terms of importance in home resale improvements are bathrooms, which can also be updated with simple changes that can make a world of difference to buyers. New lighting, updated fixtures, fresh vanities and adding or updating tile can draw a buyer in. Our design center experts can help you find which ways will work best in your budget, and how we can get new items installed in your home quickly.

To learn more about how we can help get your home ready for the buying season, stop by our showrooms in Alpharetta or Buford, or our full Design Center in Decatur today!
