The Resurgence of Craftsmanship

Cravotta says he is seeing a strong trend across the board toward designing with furnishings, materials, and craftsman finishes that can be fully lived in while still being high-quality, unique pieces.

"You can still have beautiful pieces without having to worry about stressing over the next time a guest is having too much of a good time," he says. "There have been tremendous advances in outdoor upholstery (which is beautiful enough for the indoors now) that you can wipe off coffee or wine easily. In the kitchen, there are so many more options now that are better than polished granite.

When it comes to your next renovation project and to help you get one step closer to achieving your dream kitchen, Cravotta says there is truly no substitute for a personal reference when you're seeking the best craftsmanship and quality work. Doing your homework to find the person whose product matches their marketing will save you the headache a few years down the road when your cabinetry is as sturdy as the day it was installed.
