Another sales tool for the remodeler?

Carbon monoxide, mold, lead paint, poltergeist…what? The issues facing remodelers seems to grow from year to year. Not only do builders have to be “mold-busters” but “ghost-busters” too?  In observance of Halloween yesterday, This Old House Online had an interesting blog post on the subject.

2011 Kitchen #Remodel over $100,000 

Midwest Winner

Creating a warm, yet modern, kitchen involved a vast selection of textures and colors. The kitchen pops with high gloss eggplant cabinetry that is surrounded by a backsplash of violet-flecked iridescent tiles. The range is topped by a swing out hood that is a work of art in itself. Black walnut counter tops flank the cooking surface for functionality and warmth. The stainless steel sink and counter top adds a minimal feeling to this design. An elevated glass bar serves as a divider between the kitchen and the adjacent dining room and is great for grabbing a quick meal.
