Eco-Friendly Kitchen Projects for Now or Later

Even though it's still chilly outside, now is a great time to be dreaming of a new kitchen or working on transforming your kitchen!  Here are some great ideas to get you started.

Small Project – Refresh your walls with our Zero-VOC paints!  For under $50 you can transform your kitchen walls.  We've got hundreds of colors to choose from and we can color match thousands more!  Try our zero-VOC water-based enamel paints or our new plant-oil based paints.  Because our paints are low-odor you can paint your walls right now.  Let the transformation begin!

Medium Project – New counter tops!  It's amazing what a fresh coat of paint and new counter tops will do for your kitchen.  We are excited about a new offering from Richlite.  The layered look is in, and the new Cascade line of FSC-certified counters takes advantage of that.  These paper counter tops have a solid-color top and two- to five-tone edges for a unique accent.  If you are have a different look in mind, check out our linoleum counter tops or our recycled glass options.

Large Project – Did you know we offer two brands of high quality, formaldehyde-free kitchen cabinetry?  We carry the Neil Kelly line from Portland and we offer our own Natural Built Home brand of cabinetry that is manufactured right here in Minneapolis.  We offer Minnesota grown FSC certified solid wood doors, low-voc finishes and luxurious soft-close drawers and doors!  We are also able to help with your kitchen design.  Let us help you maximize your kitchen space.  We can include a host of organization solutions for your kitchen cabinetry.  Give us a call or stop by the store for more info or to get a FREE cabinet cost estimate.  You can also fill out our estimate form and email or fax it in.
