Rochelle GrassApr 30, 2018Designing for Your HomeDo you have difficulty putting a room together the way you want it to look? A lot of people do. And that's ok. Each of us is gifted differently. How boring it would be if we all had the same skill set. As an interior designer, putting a room together is one of my favorite things to do. But you don't want me doing your dental work or taking a look at your engine trouble. So, just as you would hire a professional to do those tasks, doesn't it make sense to hire a professional t
Rochelle GrassApr 26, 2018Go Big or Go HomeCountertop thickness. Probably not the first thought on your mind this morning when you popped out of bed. But if designing or remodeling a kitchen is on you mind, then we need to talk. There's a fun design element available to you that can add a whole lot of drama to your space. What is it?

So what's Snow White (or a dashing Prince) to do? Call a professional? Yes, I do belie

While this display at Infinity shows only open shelves, I can see this idea tucked neatly into the corner of a kitchen with upper cabinets on adjacent walls. Open shelves give a warmth and intimacy that is difficult to achieve with a cabinet door. It provides display space for objects with personality: your favorite dishes, photos, cookbooks, antiques, artifacts; the possib
Rochelle GrassApr 4, 2018Behind the Design @ InfinityGold. It’s back. But it’s not the shiny brass from yesteryear. The new golds tend to be softer in color and finish. This cabinet vignette is a stunner and one of my favorites in the Infinity Showroom. We will talk about the smooth gray finish and the luxe back splash and counter top in another post. Why gold? Why not put the standard satin nickel hardware on these cabinets to go with the gray? Or acrylic, copper, iron or white hardware...there are endless options. I chose the
