Claire Think "Transitional" or Showcase" Key Words: Stylish, romantic and elegant

Baseboard/ Crown Molding ? White or rich wood that matches flooring ? larger than standard

Backsplash ? tumbled marble, travertine or glass accents mixed to form a "Wow" design

Countertops ? granite with flow and movement that's rich in color changes or a Corian or Quartz that's unique

Fireplace surround ? travertine, stone or detailed, ornate wood

Flooring ? Rich Hickory, Tiger or Bamboo

Cabinetry ? Cherry, Glazed Ivory or a mixture with large molding and staggered heights

Appliances ? Copper, Ivory or Stainless

Walls ? Rich, warm colors with faux highlights and complimentary accents

Elise Think "Traditional" and Functional Key Words: Practical, warm and inviting

Appliances ? Black, Ivory or White preferred over Stainless

Walls ? Elise prefers relaxing colors with complementary accents. Soft yellows or warm beiges in the kitchen, blues or greens in the GR or Bedrooms.

Backsplash/Countertop ? a natural stone that would compliment the Quartz or Formica countertops. A traditional pattern with tile pieces would work nicely in this setting with something creative over the stovetop

Cabinetry ? Elise prefers the warmth that Cherry or Birch brings with a medium to dark stain. A combination of an Oak for the box and black stained door fronts could add a touch of flair to a very traditional setting.

Flooring ? A mixture of tile or wood in the kitchen and entry and hallways. Carpet that carries the color scheme in the bedrooms but mainly neutrals.

Maggie Think "Eclectic' and easy maintenance Key Words: Comfortable, inviting and mix n' match

Countertops ? low maintenance Formica works well as does Quartz, Silestone and some may crossover to a granite if neutral in appearance and uniform in pattern

Cabinetry ? Natural Birch or Maple work well with simple lines and hardware

Walls ? prefer the lighter palette with just enough color to accent

Appliances ? White, Ivory or Stainless

Backsplash ? neutral or natural stone in the neutral palette

Baseboard/ Crown Molding ? Wood at standard height

Flooring ? Natural Oak or Hickory in kitchen and hallways. Carpet of varying colors and style in bedrooms.

A built in Murphy Bed would be an excellent option for the Maggie's that have infrequent visitors and hobbies that could be set up in the same space

Margo Think "Urban-like" and "Easy sophistication" Key Words: Edgy, trendy and simple lines

Walls ? Neutral but Margo loves a splash of color somewhere. It may be a soffit, an entire room or accent areas but the main walls should stay within the same palette of the neutrals that tie in with the tile or backsplash.

Hardware ? Contemporary ? have fun with this element

Flooring ? Cutting edge is fun for Margo. Bamboo is an excellent choice, but tile, polished cement or Travertine also works if the pattern is simple. Neutral carpet in bedrooms.

Baseboard ? neutral & standard size

Cabinetry ? Natural Maple, sleek, simple with contemporary hardware.

Backsplash ? Glass tiles come in varying sizes and reflect light beautifully a simple monotone tile is less expensive but can work with a contemporary look.

Countertops ? Black is the trend for the countertops. There are many choices of granite which can be either polished or honed. Quartz or Corian are also options, if contemporary in color.

Appliances ? Stainless Steel
