For the Visually Challenged...

If you've ever remodeled or built a home, at some point throughout the process, you have (or should have) seen a blueprint or plan view of the final space. Now think back...at the time, did you fully understand what all of those signs, boxes, lines, and other drawings and symbols really implied? Were you able to visualize the design or construction of the new space or structure before it was installed or built? If you're mentally shaking your head to any or all of the above - that's okay! Not everyone has the ability to understand 2-dimensional drawings...which is why the brilliant people of the world have developed software programs to allow an opportunity for designers, builders, and architects to present a 3D model of those plans.


The software program that is utilized by 3W design, inc is called Chief Architect. This amazing program gives us the ability create 2D and 3D drawings of your existing or newly remodeled space prior to touching it. So, if you were wondering what your new kitchen would look like with all of the final touches, we have the ability to create and present those ideas and options. Did you want to move some walls in your home but weren't certain what that would do to the existing space? Maybe you wanted to see what the furniture layout would look like in the living room? Or perhaps you wanted to see what that bathroom remodel would look like in a different layout?


Whatever view or angle, we have the ability to show you thanks to this program. The feedback we gain from our customers is that this one powerful took that eliminates their doubts and solidifies both their and our expectations of what the final space will ultimately become.


Below are some examples of some projects that 3W design, inc has created via Chief Architect:



Kitchen Remodel Rendering: Before













Kitchen Remodel: After


















So, if you are in the market for a remodel, new construction, or just need some help with some aesthetic finishes, we would love to assist you. Come visit our showroom or make an appointment to learn how we can help create your ideas into something truly special.

Vetrazzo

Vetrazzo...

In the name of sustainability, "green" countertops are becoming increasingly popular. If you're looking for something other than the granites and quartz products of the world, I'd like to introduce you to a product called Vetrazzo...the original recycled glass surface. Using a variety of recycled glass and cement, Vetrazzo creates a unique and artful approach to countertops. Every surface is unique in it's make up and comes with it's own story of what was utilized to create the different palettes. My personal favorites are Cool Titanium and Palladian Gray...not as colorful as the rest but definitely eye catching. http://www.vetrazzo.com/products_palette.asp

It is comparable in it's character to granite and can be used in variety of applications. And for those of you who hate to use trivets (or have other family members that do), well, this may be the product for you. It's a tough countertop that can handle a lot, but like anything in this life, only as long as you care for it properly.

So, if you're looking for something a bit different in your remodel, I would recommend giving this product a try. We have a few samples in our showroom and you really need to see them in person to truly appreciate their uniqueness.
