Color of the Year: Depends on Who You Ask

The article below discusses the "new" color of the year for 2016. We see this a great deal - every publisher and supplier has their own opinion. One opinion that is NOT disputed... prices in our industry are starting to increase. We have received three announcements this week about increases effective early in 2016. So if you are considering a project in 2016, ordering your materials before the first of the year will save you a good 6%-8%. Kurtis can place an order for materials now, but hold off on shipping until sometime in early 2016. This way clients can save the price-increase on their materials, but delay the start of their project until after the first of the year. Smart move if you are in the market!- Kurtis Kitchen & Bath Experts from major paint companies couldn't agree on a color of the year for 2016, with some very different hues gaining recognition this past month. At PPG, an off-green called "Paradise Found" earned the title. It "hints at nature while still touching on neutrality," mused Dee Schlotter , senior color marketing manager. And at Olympic Paints, the color of the Year, "Blue Cloud," was described as "daring and adventurous." The company added that its hue reflects "a post-recession return to elegance. "Benjamin Moore's selection for Color of the Year was simply "Simply White." Here's how creative director Ellen O'Neill explained the selection: "The color white is transcendent, powerful, and polarizing - it is either taken for granted or obsessed over." Congratulations to all the colors. Source: https://dig.hbsdealer.com/2015-10-HBSD/

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.

Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen

We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.

We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.

We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
