Marvin Bauman

Marvin's Top Tip

If you’re building a new home: think about your appliances first (what you have seen or used that you liked). If you’re renovating your home: be observant of what you dislike about your current space (for example, poor functionality or layout).

Personal Style

Current Personal Dream Design:
I love my kitchen (we renovated in 2012) – it has stained cabinets (cappuccino stain on maple); if I were building a new home, I would tend toward a mix of walnut and cream/off-white colours

Happy this fad is over:
Stained maple, cherry, and early American stained oak were very popular when I was actively designing, so now I like seeing different options

Hobbies

Current Hobbies:
Reading – I typically have 5 books on the go at a time - novels, leadership books, missionary stories; gardening...

Favourite Meal

To Eat:
Chicken dinner – old-fashioned: vegetables, garden salad, baked potatoes, chicken gravy, and strawberry rhubarb pie with vanilla ice cream for dessert!

Snack:
Mixed nuts

The quality and workmanship of the cabinets is one of the best around. The integrity of the company shows up in all aspects of the job right down to the delivery and installation of the cabinets. Customer service and respect for the client is of utmost importance and definitely shines through. I look forward to starting another successful renovation with them.
