Transforming A Finished Basement Into A Home Bar

Scarce on square footage? Multipurpose spaces allow you to prioritize everything you need and want no matter how big or small your home is. In this post, we’re going to focus on transforming a finished basement into a home bar in 2021 — just in time for our President’s Day Sale February 12th through February 22nd!

Now is a great time to save big on our all wood cabinetry and build the basement bar of your dreams while on a budget. Cheers to an even better at-home happy hour! Here are some things to keep in mind before starting your project.

 

Maintain your basement’s storage without sacrificing style.

 

You can still use your basement for storage purposes after transforming it into a home bar. After all, the whole point of having multipurpose spaces is that they serve more than one function. Start by optimizing any closet with an organization system that will help you to make the most of any existing storage space. Then, depending on your basement’s floor plan, install sleek all wood cabinetry along one wall or as an extension to your bar cabinets. These extra cabinets can accommodate any additional odds and ends you want to keep in the basement. With discreet, stylish storage solutions incorporated right into the room’s design, your holiday decorations and memorabilia will be out of sight while still safely tucked away.

Create a basement bar that has everything you need to enjoy a drink at home.

When designing a home bar, custom is your best bet, since every homeowner seeks different features. Whether it’s a wine storage cabinet to keep extra bottles of your favorite red, a refrigerator filled with champagne for big game celebrations, or glass door bar cabinets to showcase your collection of whiskey glasses. You want your home bar to have everything you need to enjoy a drink at home, as well as an entertainment center for your big screen TV and some comfortable seating. If you’re looking for assistance with your design, tap into our complimentary design services. We’d be happy to help you bring your dream bar to life!

Brighten up your basement to make it more inviting.

A common concern when turning a basement into a finished living space is the inherent darkness. Most basements lack natural light, so they tend to lean more toward the dark side. This is obviously not ideal, but not to worry! You can offset your basement’s naturally dreary ambiance by adding layers of artificial lighting. First focus on ambient lighting, which is best delivered through recessed or pot lighting. This type of overhead lighting is built into the ceiling, so it won’t make the (already low) ceiling appear any lower. If recessed lighting is not an option, short stemmed track lighting can work as well. From there, strategically place floor and table lamps, sconces, under cabinet lighting, and task lighting to add extra brightness where it’s needed most.

Think outside of the box when it comes to color scheme, theme, and decor.

From coastal themes to industrial chic designs, your home bar has no limits. Don’t feel boxed in by your basement. Forget what it used to be and allow yourself to fully imagine what it could be. Choose the colors and design that complement your home and style without worrying if it’s the right concept for a “basement” bar. With good lighting, comfortable furniture, and detailed decor, your basement bar will hardly feel like a basement at all. We can’t wait for you to open a bottle from your wine storage cabinet, and relax in your new finished space!

Inspiring Kitchen Design Ideas For Spring 2021

Spring is a time of beauty and fresh starts. If your renovations checklist includes a brand new kitchen in the new year, but you are unsure where to start, look no further. From custom cabinets to on-point accents, here are some spring-inspired design ideas and tips to help set you on the right path.

Classic Comfort

According to interior design experts, comfort and a classic aesthetic will be the hallmarks of 2021. Embracing a more traditional approach is key, but that does not have to mean overly ornate or fussy. Instead, try to balance contemporary and classic sensibilities when choosing furniture, decor and kitchen cabinet finishes. This transitional approach opens many possibilities for personalization, with timeless, thoughtful details like retro appliances, curved table legs, corbels on a large kitchen island, or full overlay cabinet doors. Adding these steadfast, familiar elements help to craft a more traditional space while still maintaining a liveable and cozy vibe.

Natural Beauty

Earthy neutral colors and natural elements are still on trend this year, and spring is naturally the ideal time to bring a soothing bit of the outdoors in. Paint your walls and ceiling in a tranquil palette. Then, layer in organic textures and softer materials that have a calming effect, such as caned or rattan chairs, jute area rugs, seagrass baskets, burlap table runners, cotton or bamboo Roman shades, ceramic pottery canisters, and natural stone countertops. Consider adding an air purifying houseplant in an empty corner or on the kitchen island, and opt for healthier, green-friendly materials, such as CARB2 compliant kitchen cabinets or NSF and Greenguard certified flooring options.

Light And Bright

Custom cabinets typically top a kitchen renovations checklist. This year, timeless white and light kitchen cabinet finishes remain popular with homeowners and buyers, with a trendy, two tone twist. Take a quick scroll through Pinterest or the pages of your favorite home magazine, and you are bound to notice dream kitchens with white or light cabinets and a darker kitchen island. This two tone look is right on point and helps to create a more dynamic kitchen design, whether you are pairing crisp white Shaker cabinets and a dark blue kitchen island or a combination of light and dark grey kitchen cabinet finishes.

A spring makeover should be a natural transition to a more comfortable and liveable home that you and your family can enjoy for seasons to come. Are you inspired and ready for a fresh start? Shop our President’s Day Sale, February 12th through 22nd, 2021, and begin your free room design before another season passes by!

3 Clues That Prove You Need To Rethink Your Storage Space

When things go missing and you’re tripping over misplaced items, it may be time to rethink your storage space. Recent trends show that there is a demand for custom cabinets that offer more storage in the home, with both homeowners and buyers looking for smart organizing solutions in every room. If you’re hesitant to make a change for the better, here are some clues that prove you need to reconsider.

Clue #1: Everything is overflowing and you can’t find your favorite sweater.

There’s nothing more frustrating than rummaging through your closet and not being able to find that perfect piece of clothing — especially when you are in a hurry! Some closets are so messy, you may even forget what you have in there. This leads to buying even more clothes and accessories, because you “have nothing good to wear.” Or so you think. And let’s not forget that overflowing dresser stuffed with socks and undergarments. Solution: Design a custom closet system, complete with rods, shelving, drawer stacks, and efficient extras like sliding belt and tie racks and lingerie organizers.

Clue #2: Your shoes are kept in a big pile and are they getting ruined.

Piling your shoes up on the floor or throwing them haphazardly in a basket leads to dirty, flattened footwear and wasting time digging around to locate a matching pair for the occasion. Shoe racks are an easy solution, but they tend to be flimsy and are prone to collecting dust. And if you have a large collection, you’ll soon discover a small wire rack won’t hold much. Solution: Adding adjustable shoe shelves or cubbies to a custom closet design plus space for bins at the top of the unit.

Clue #3: There are toys everywhere and you’re always losing the remote control.

If you’ve ever stepped on one of those little plastic building blocks or tripped over a stuffed animal, you know how painful having toys all over the house can be. And it’s not just the little ones making a mess. Teenagers leave things wherever they go, and then they need your help to find their stuff later. You can try to get a handle on it by making kids clean up at the end of the day, but without adequate storage, you’ll end up with piles on every table and in every corner of the room. Solution: Install TV Room Cabinetry to surround the big screen in style, and house books, games, toys, electronics, and that annoying remote control.

Other game changing storage solutions include laundry room cabinets to keep wash day essentials neatly behind closed doors and inside cabinet accessories for a more functional kitchen, to name a few. Now that you’ve solved the mystery behind the mess, browse our selection of custom cabinets for the home, and take advantage of our free room design tool to finally fix your storage issues. And don’t miss our President’s Day Sale, February 12th through 22nd, 2021, online at Willow Lane Cabinetry.

3 Valentine’s Day Breakfast Sweets To Make Together

Celebrate Valentine’s Day morning by whipping up a sugary-sweet breakfast in the heart of the home. From sticky cinnamon buns made with love, to warm, chocolatey waffles and a sugar-topped breakfast cake bursting with red cranberries, here are three delightful recipes to make together in your very own kitchen.

Homemade Cinnamon Buns

You’ll find lots of good recipes for tasty homemade cinnamon buns on Pinterest, but Jo Cooks has discovered the secret to making those giant, gooey buns that are the highlight of the best mall food courts. This easy-to-follow recipe is broken down into three sections: dough, filling, and cream cheese icing. You’ll need some of the usual suspects commonly found in the refrigerator and kitchen pantry cabinet, including butter, eggs, flour, salt and yeast, plus three different kinds of sugar. Oh, and don’t forget the big jar of ground cinnamon in your spice rack! For the complete list of ingredients and instructions from Jo Cooks, click here.

Chocolate Waffles

A crisp and tender Beligian waffle is a treat in and of itself, but adding chocolate to the mix gives this breakfast favorite the ultimate Valentine’s Day twist. If you have a waffle iron in your kitchen pantry cabinet, this recipe from The Salty Marshmallow can be done in 30 minutes and makes around 6-10 waffles that are light, fluffy and delicious. Plus, there is a secret ingredient that we’re sure you have sitting on your kitchen island countertop right now — leftover coffee! Cold coffee actually helps to coax out the rich flavors of the cocoa. Serve your waffles topped with powdered sugar, whipped cream and pure maple or raspberry syrup. Click here for the Chocolate Waffle recipe from The Salty Marshmallow and click here for a homemade raspberry syrup recipe from Taste of Home.

Cranberry-Orange Buttermilk Breakfast Cake

Bright red cranberries make this Cranberry-Orange Buttermilk Breakfast Cake the perfect Valentine’s Day treat. This festive recipe comes from Alexandra’s Kitchen and calls for fresh cranberries, buttermilk, and orange zest — so you’ll also need to dig out that zester from your utility drawer! Cranberries can be a tad on the sour side, so we suggest coating the cranberries in some extra granulated sugar to tone down the tartness, if you prefer. Visit alexandracooks.com for the Cranberry-Orange Buttermilk Breakfast Cake recipe, and make the batter the night before. Then, simply pop it in the oven the next morning, pull up a stool at the kitchen island, and enjoy Valentine’s Day with the ones you love!

This Valentine’s Day, grab your sweetheart or gather the whole family, wear some adorable matching holiday pajamas, and get cooking! Which breakfast sweet are you most excited to try?

The Top Home Interior Colors Of 2021

If you are planning a high-end kitchen remodel in the new year, or are looking to give your living spaces a fresh dose of color, you may be wondering where to start. Dark blue is still right on point as we head into 2021, but this rich hue has some good company. Here are the top interior colors of 2021 to infuse your home with style.

Illuminating and Ultimate Gray: The Color Combo Of The Year

In January, the color experts at Pantone picked not one, but two gorgeous shades as their Color of the Year for 2021. This dynamic duo is a “marriage of color conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting,” according to Pantone. PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating is a cheerful, vibrant yellow with a positive and optimistic vibe. Paired with this bright and energetic color is the more subtle PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray. Like pebbles on a beach, this serene, timeless shade offers a solid foundation that strikes a perfect balance when teamed with Illuminating as an accent color. Together, this combo helps to create a warm and inspiring interior and would be right at home in a modern kitchen design.

Urbane Bronze: A Hue Rooted In Nature

Soothing neutrals are here to stay, from soft shades of creamy beige, green and gray, to moody dark blue, brown and charcoal. These colors are rooted in nature and help to create a more liveable and comfortable interior that will never go out of style. With that said, Urbane Bronze SW 7048 was the natural choice when Sherwin Williams picked their 2021 Color of the Year. Refined yet down-to-earth, this tranquil shade has an organic feel, and is the greige of choice for homeowners who want a bit of bold contrast against crisp white cabinets and trim. This color also works beautifully with the mixed metal trend, from oil rubbed bronze knobs and pulls, to stainless steel appliances, hoods and kitchen sinks.

Aegean Teal: Celebrate The Simple Pleasures
There’s a reason Benjamin Moore chose Aegean Teal 2136-40 for its 2021 Color of the Year. This versatile hue is perfect for a coastal-themed bathroom, a contemporary home office, or the trendy farmhouse style of modern kitchen design. As a neutral shade of blue-green, it offers a pop of color that is both chic and comfortable. Like a cozy bed with rumpled sheets, enjoying a warm cup of coffee in the kitchen on a lazy Saturday morning, or the scent of laundry fresh out of the dryer, this color feels like home wherever you decide to use it.

Which color is your favorite? If you want to save money on that high-end kitchen remodel and other projects on your home renovation checklist, be sure to shop our Friends and Family Sale, January 27th through February 8th, 2021!

6 Wonderful Ways To House Your Wine Collection

Every wine lover should have a dedicated space to keep their favorite bottles of red and white safely stored. Doing so will showcase your collection while also adding some character and style to the home. There are many styling options that you can choose from based on your space and needs, so let’s explore some of the possibilities! From a wine cellar to a wine storage cabinet and everything in between, here are six wonderful ways to house your wine collection.

#1. Install a built in wine storage cabinet in your kitchen.  

Custom cabinets are much more accessible these days, and it’s easy to add your own personal touches. Incorporating a built-in wine rack is a brilliant way to store a few of your go-to bottles right in the heart of the home. These cube style wall cabinets blend seamlessly into your kitchen cabinetry and add a bit of open shelving that doubles as decor. With Willow Lane Cabinetry’s New Year’s Sale running from December 24th to January 4th, now is an excellent time to make any cabinet upgrades or improvements to your kitchen.

#2. Add a wine rack to your home bar cabinets.  

If you have a home bar, installing a wine storage cabinet there makes perfect sense as well. As we mentioned, these open racks offer easy storage and can also enhance the ambiance of the room. Alternatively, a cabinet-size wine cooler is another way to incorporate wine storage into your home’s cabinetry. These mini refrigerators keep your wine at the optimal drinking temperature for that perfect glass every time.

#3. Hang a wall mounted wine bottle rack if space is limited.

If your kitchen is small or you don’t have any designated bar cabinets, a wall mounted wine bottle rack is another possibility. This wall accessory keeps bottles stored horizontally and can be hung anywhere you have open space. However, since this storage solution offers little protection, opt for an area away from windows. Exposure to heat and direct sunlight can actually damage your wine collection fairly quickly.

#4. Build a wine wall in the dining room.

A wine wall is almost like a work of art and can be built in a common area like the dining room. Typically, a wine wall will consist of cubed shelving to both display and protect the bottles from traffic. But if bumping into the wall isn’t likely, you can go with a more open concept, such as metal racks, or one where the majority of the bottle is exposed.

#5. Create a wine pantry in a lonely corner or unused area.

If you have an oversized room with unused space, carving out an area to serve as a wine pantry could be an incredible addition to your home. This could be a walk-in style closet where the surrounding walls are used to store wine, or it could be something more contemporary, such as an all glass structure that you can see into from the outside. Let your imagination run wild and decide on a design that works with your home’s floor plan and aesthetic.

#6. Give your basement a makeover and transform it into a wine cellar.

Since dark, cool spaces are ideal for storing wine, building a wine cellar in your basement can help maintain your collection. Some things to keep in mind before moving forward with your project are the room’s temperature, humidity level, and exposure to UV light. Experts also recommend avoiding vibrations if possible, since over time this can actually disturb the wine’s maturation. In other words, you wouldn’t want to store your wine on a wall that is shared with your washer and dryer.

How To Pick The Perfect Sink For Every Space

Kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, wet bar sinks, oh my! When there are so many great options for the various wet areas in your home, how can you even begin to make sense of it all? Before your head starts spinning, take a step back and read on to learn how to pick the perfect sink for every space.

Kitchen Sinks

When selecting a sink for dream kitchens, placement is key. If you are remodeling an enclosed kitchen area with a window, installing the kitchen sink below can offer natural light and maybe even a lovely view that makes washing dishes less of a chore. In a spacious open concept space, a kitchen island facing a wall with exterior windows achieves the same effect, and is therefore the most popular kitchen sink placement for builders and contractors.

Whether you opt for a single, double or triple bowl, it’s important to keep the overall style of your home in mind when shopping for kitchen sinks. A sleek quartz sink or seamless acrylic solid surface countertops with an integrated sink are hallmarks of modern kitchen design. On the other hand, a copper or stainless farmhouse sink works well in both traditional and transitional homes.

Wet Bar Sinks

A wet bar provides a convenient source of water for making ice cubes, washing limes, and rinsing glasses while entertaining. If you wish to include a sink in your bar cabinet design, size (and material) matters quite a bit. Without a doubt, a small size and low-maintenance material works best for a wet bar.

Typically, an undermount, single bowl sink is the ideal option, and stainless steel is the material of choice for several reasons. Stainless steel is durable, easy to clean, and resistant to stains when serving up cocktails and wine spritzers. The perfect size for a bar cabinet sink is 15” wide to 18” wide. House Beautiful recommends placing your wet bar sink off to one side to make conversation easier when playing bartender.

Laundry Room

A laundry room sink generally rests close to the washer and should be large and deep enough for hand washing clothing and delicates. A stainless farmhouse sink fits the bill, or if you prefer a more modern look, opt for a 24” stainless steel or quartz/acrylic sink.

If you don’t mind shelling out a few extra coins, a freestanding basin sink is a classic choice for the laundry room and can provide a touch of vintage or industrial charm, depending on the material. Similar in form and function, but bit more refined than the plastic utility sinks commonly found in a garage, this style is often made of metal or enamel-coated cast iron.

Bathroom Sinks

When pairing sinks with your bathroom cabinetry, there is a wide array of styles and installations to choose from. Vessel sinks provide an opportunity to add some artistic flair to a powder room and can complement modern bathroom vanities in a master bath. Dream bathroom options include colorful tempered glass, bamboo, porcelain, marble, granite, onyx, and cast bronze. When planning a redesign, keep in mind that bathroom sinks should be scaled to suit your bathroom cabinetry, leaving enough countertop space for morning and bedtime routines.

5 Essential Features Of A Fabulous New Kitchen in 2021

If a new kitchen is on the top of your 2021 home renovation checklist, we’ve got you covered. Scroll down for highlights on which essential features you’ll want to include in your design if you’re planning a fabulous, high-end kitchen in the new year.

1. Achieve all of your storage goals with custom cabinets.

The possibilities for personalization are practically endless with retailers like Willow Lane Cabinetry offering direct to consumer custom cabinets that you can design and shop online. Pick a style that you like and then get to work with our design team. We will draft a layout that meets all of your needs and will even create photorealistic renderings, so that you can see what your new kitchen will look like in your home. From navigating which wall cabinets are best for your space to helping you pick the perfect inside cabinet accessories, we’re here to bring your new kitchen dreams to life in 2021.

2. Make way for marble — a must in modern kitchen design.

Marble is almost synonymous with a high-end kitchen. Undeniably luxurious and relatively affordable, we are seeing an upward trend when it comes to using marble in modern kitchen design. Its veined patterns and creamy white and gray tones add interest without being overwhelming. Marble is incredibly versatile and can be used for flooring and backsplashes, but when it comes to countertops, opt for Quartzite. This durable, natural material looks like marble without the risk of etching and is heat, scratch, and stain resistant  Whether used throughout the kitchen or simply as an accent, be sure to include at least a splash of marble in your new kitchen.

3. Take a trip down the dark side with kitchen cabinet finishes.

While a timeless and beautiful choice, the days when all kitchens had to be bright and white have passed. Many homeowners are showing a preference for richer, darker colors in regards to wall paint and kitchen cabinet finishes. Today, you’ll see more dark options available in cabinetry, from dark blue to gray to espresso. These deep hues can also be added to walls to create a contrast against lighter cabinets, or look to the 2021 top color picks for inspiration.

4. Pave the way for over the top organization and a pantry fit for the stars.

The pantry craze is here to stay, and you’ll want to prioritize this addition when mapping out your new kitchen. What was once just a nice-to-have has become essential in recent years, thanks to our newfound obsession with organization. There are currently over 100k #pantryorganization posts on Instagram alone! But pantries don’t just look nice when properly arranged. They also allow you to keep all of your food goods in one designated spot, freeing up plenty of extra space in your custom cabinets.

5. Give your kitchen some glitz and glamour with gold finishes.

When it comes to kitchen sinks and cabinet hardware, there is a definite shift toward warmth. For a long time, silver seemed to be the go-to when building a new kitchen, but now, there is much more diversity in this category. To achieve this desired look, opt for golden tones like bronze and copper when shopping for light fixtures, kitchen sinks, pulls, and knobs. These materials are on point and also nicely complement darker shades, or consider the trendy two tone look of mixing metals.

Tips For Tackling Dirty Dishes This Holiday Season

The holiday season is a time for joy, peace on Earth, and chaos in the kitchen. Unfortunately, dream kitchens don’t include a mess of dirty plates, glasses, utensils, and cooking implements. From baking up a storm to preparing grand holiday feasts, here are some helpful tips for tackling those dirty dishes that are an inevitable part of the celebration.

Don’t Let Dirty Dishes Pile Up

Kitchen sink sizes vary, but even extra deep, double bowl kitchen sinks are no match for a 24-pound turkey dinner with all the fixings. Instead of letting mountains of dirty dishes sit on kitchen island countertops, or leaving pots and pans to soak overnight in kitchen sinks, everyone in the family should pitch in and clean up immediately as you go. That also includes emptying the dishwasher after each cycle, as well as towel drying and putting away anything that is washed by hand.

Hand Washing Tips

  • Dishcloths are preferable to sponges, because they tend to harbor less bacteria (when changed frequently), and they can be easily washed in the laundry room. WebMD recommends using hot water and drying dishcloths on high heat.
  • For efficiency and to conserve water, fill clean kitchen sinks halfway with hot tap water and add a few drops of your favorite dish soap. Drain and repeat when the water gets cold or too dirty.
  • Don a good pair of dishwashing gloves to help protect hands and prevent them from becoming dry and cracked. Nobody wants dishpan hands for the holidays.
  • Start with glassware, plates and utensils, and leave greasy pots and pans for last. Don’t skip scrubbing high-touch areas like pot and knife handles and the outside of glasses.

Dishwasher Dos and Don’ts

  • Group forks, spoons, and knives separately in the utensil basket sections of your dishwasher for easy unloading.
  • Place dishwasher-safe plastic and delicate items like mugs and glassware on the top rack only.
  • If you want truly clean dishes, avoid overcrowding the dishwasher with too many items and use the correct amount of detergent as directed.
  • Place a sign on the dishwasher that can be flipped between “washed” and “unwashed” to let family members know the status of its contents.

In most cases, prewashing is not necessary with newer dishwashers. Instead of hand washing and running through a cycle, choose one or the other. If you stay on top of washing dishes and follow these tips throughout the holiday season, you can keep your kitchen clean and tidy just like the dream kitchens in your favorite home magazine or HGTV shows.

Simple Steps To Improve Indoor Air Quality In The Home

Improving the indoor air quality in your home is not only good for the environment  — it’s also good for your health and the health of your family.  According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), most pollutants affecting indoor air quality come from sources inside buildings. In fact, indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outside! Thankfully, there are simple steps you can take to make sure you are breathing cleaner air when indoors. Read on to learn more.

Make sure your cabinets are CARB2 compliant.

When shopping for quality cabinets, look for the CARB2 Compliant seal. Formaldehyde is a toxic, organic compound used to make adhesive resins for composite wood products, including cabinetry, and CARB2 sets rigorous indoor air quality standards for products to ensure a safer and greener home environment. This strict certification process was created by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) in order to reduce formaldehyde emissions in the home and to protect the public from the harmful effects of air pollution. When you see the CARB2 Compliant seal on a product, it means the formaldehyde levels are well within safety limits, just like our amazing selection of quality cabinets for the home at Willow Lane Cabinetry.

Update your kitchen vent hood.

If cooking odors linger in your kitchen a bit too long, it’s probably time to start browsing new kitchen vent hoods online. Not only functional, kitchen vent hoods can add an extra dose of style to your overall room design. Newer models offer dishwasher safe filters, multiple speeds, plus a delayed auto shut off function that allows you to set your hood to continue ventilation for up to 15 minutes after you leave the cooking area. These features help to ensure your kitchen is clean and pollutant free.

Make sure your flooring is NSF and GreenGuard certified.

If new flooring is on your home renovation list, you may have noticed terms like NSF Certified® and Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified®. The Greenguard Gold Certification program has established test methods and emission limits for products like flooring to help ensure safer and greener building practices. When you see the NSF certification mark, you know that product has been through extensive testing to ensure strict health and safety standards. Engineered countertop materials like Quartz and Acrylic Solid Surface should also be NSF Certified®.

Look for more ways to improve your indoor air quality.

Long-term exposure to air pollutants, as well as mold, mildew, dust, and allergens, can be a serious health hazard. That is why safer building materials, proper airflow and ventilation are vital. Here are a few more ways to improve your indoor air quality:
