The key to a productive work space in the home is functionality. Based on the design, the home office can be a great room for business, homework, and fun all in one. The first step to an efficient home office begins with a clear work space. By adding custom cabinetry you will increase the organization and productivity in your home office.
We recommend designating different areas of your home office to different activities.
Work Space - Allow the majority of your office space to consist of the computer, printer, fax machine and any other appliances. Pulling drawers, closed cabinets and shelving will allow for all cords and hazardous pieces to be secure at all times.
Storage Space - Store all your office supplies behind closed cabinet doors leaving an organized and clean office space.
Children Space - Designate an area with all your children's art supplies and homework tools in cabinets lower to the ground and furthest from your work space.

Remodel Your Dream Kitchen Today!
Today's kitchen remodel ideas, designs, and styles are endless. Creativity and expertise can deliver a breathtaking, yet functional kitchen that will add value and character to your home. Listed below are a few tips to increase the luxury of your kitchen.
Increase your space. By working closely with a professional designer, add more cabinets and counter space in places you didn't think were possible.
Start entertaining. Kitchens are a great place to munch and mingle. We suggest adding a buffet style setting, like an island to provide an open focal point in your kitchen suited for gathering and socializing around food and drinks.
Add dimension to your new kitchen with a stylish back splash. Different styles using tile, metal, glass or wood will add that extra charm to a timeless kitchen design.
Never forget your personal style. When working with a professional designer remember to incorporate your own special style allowing your new kitchen to flow and match with rest of your home design.
A Perfect Place for Dirty Laundry
The Laundry Room
Create useful space in a small, high activity room
The key to an organized and useful laundry room begins with storage. Cabinetry offers endless storage options from rustic lockers to detailed open and closed shelving.
Before you begin: Purchase and measure your washer and dryer before selecting materials for your new laundry room. Washers and dryers come in many shapes and sizes, which can effect your cabinetry design.
Cabinetry: By adding custom cabinetry you can create the most space in a small room. Open shelving allows for easy access to products and materials used daily, such as hand towels. Open shelving can also provide space for sorting bins to create a clutter free zone. Closed cabinetry is best to hide cleaning supplies, appliances and other home repair utilities.
Countertops: Give yourself space to complete daily household chores. A countertop area will provide a place for folding clothes, sorting dirty clothes while adding a clean and organized touch.
Utility Sink: Single, deep tubs are essential for any laundry room. Use the sink for delicates that need to be hand washed, as well as small household chores you prefer to keep out of other rooms.

Green Remodel
Classic Cabinets and Design is passionate about eco-friendly remodeling and giving back to the community. In face of our community's growing concern to protect the environment and conserve energy, we urge our customers to consider a simple act of "going green" during their next remodel. This post is dedicated to our "green" manufacturers and all their hard work protecting the environment and allowing us to design sustainable and environmentally sensitive kitchens, bathrooms and more!
Is it possible to improve your home while protecting the environment?
With the Environmental Stewardship Program, sponsored by the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association, customers can now easily identify if their products are environmentally friendly. Whenever you purchase cabinets with an ESP seal, you can be assured you are doing your part to protect the environment.
"Wherever you turn these days, you will find products that aim to be 'green'. With so many environmental programs out there, it can be difficult to make sense of them all. ESP holds the cabinet industry to higher standards than other environmental programs because of its holistic approach to manufacturing, examining the process from growth and harvesting of raw materials to manufacturing the end product." - Exploring ESP Certification
Cabinet manufactures only receive this specialty label after successfully completing a series of requirements in air quality, product and process resource management, environmental stewardship, and community relations.
Cabinet manufacturers who work closely with Classic Cabinets and Design that have earned their ESP certification demonstrating they are committed to protecting the environment are Fieldstone Cabinetry, Mid Continent Cabinetry, Mastercraft Cabinetry, and Bellmont Cabinet Company.
Classic Cabinets and Design is honored to promote Mid Continent Cabinetry and their collaboration with the Arbor Day Foundation. Mid Continent Cabinetry is committed to using sustainable manufacturing methods. They use and buy environmentally responsible products and they proudly purchase their hardwood from domestic forests that are sustainably harvested.
Inspired by natural beauty of wood, Mid Continent is taking action to help promote reforestation. On April 29, 2011 Mid Continent partnered with Arbor Day Foundation to plant 10,000 trees in 365 days. That's equal to more than 27 trees a day for an entire year.
