Elegant, sophisticated, simply beautiful are these words you would use to describe your dream kitchen? Even just adding a coat of paint, new lighting and carefully chosen decorative details can bring your current kitchen a bit closer to that dream. Here are 10 upgrades to consider.

1. Roman shades. Covering the window with a classic Roman shade gives the kitchen a finished look. Go with a color and a pattern that coordinate with your cabinet and wall color, or stick with natural linen, which goes with everything.

8 great kitchen cabinet color palettes for your space

2. Topiary. A pair of topiaries flanking the sink is an elegant finishing touch. Use a vintage champagne bucket as a cachepot, or wrap a simple pot in burlap and tie on a velvet bow. If your kitchen gets a good amount of natural light, by all means get real plants but if not, theres no shame in picking up a couple of high-quality fakes.

3. Pendant lighting. Swapping out a plain ceiling light fixture for something with more style can be done quickly and your new pendant light can become the focal point of the room. Dont be afraid to go big; even in a small kitchen like the one shown here, a sizable pendant looks striking, not overpowering.

Find that just-right pendant light for your dream kitchen

4. A rich cabinet color. Whether you paint your cabinets or stain them a natural wood tone, a rich color is a high-impact, low cost way to change the look of your kitchen. Try a saturated hue like the blue-green shown here, or a chic gray or slate on just the lower cabinets.

5. Wall paint. If you dont want to repaint or restain your cabinets, another way to bring in color is by painting the walls. With all of the appliances and cabinetry, kitchen wall space is often fairly limited which means not only is it quicker to paint, but the color is less likely to overwhelm than in, say, the living room. Try a smoky blue, rich greige or warm mocha.

6. Upscale counter stools. There are so many options when it comes to kitchen counter seating that theres no reason to stick with plain bar stools, unless you want to. Try classic bistro stools (like the ones shown here), sculptural wooden stools or sleek Lucite ones.

10 Upgrades For A Touch Of Kitchen Elegance

Portman Holdings plans to break ground on its planned new office tower at South College and Stonewall streets in June, the real estate company said Tuesday.

The 19-story building, to be called 615 South College, will be adjacent to the Westin Charlotte Hotel, which Portman also owns. The office building, first announced in May 2013, is set to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2016, Portman said.

This city continues to be a desirable, high quality office market and an attractive lifestyle destination, so were naturally thrilled about this office development, said Portman CEO Ambrish Baisiwala, in a statement.

The building is one of several new office towers planned for uptown, after the recession and subsequent slow recovery:

Last week, the Goodyear auto repair shop at South Tryon and Stonewall streets closed, making way for a 27-story mixed-use tower called Tryon Place that Crescent Communities plans to build.

A 25-story office tower is set to break ground at South Tryon and Third streets later this year, developed by Spectrum Properties.

And Trinity Capital is planning to build a 14-story tower at Morehead and South Tryon streets.

The 615 South College building will total 370,000 square feet of Class A office space. The building is aiming for a LEED Gold energy efficiency certification, and will include flourishes such as two-story outdoor balconies on the corners, floor-to-ceiling windows, a fitness center, locker rooms and a conference center.

The developers will be able to build quickly because Portman is building atop an existing parking deck, the company said.

Travis Garland of Portman and Charlotte-based Trinity Partners will market the building. This building will offer unmatched branding opportunities for large tenants, provide efficient floor plates, and it will be a distinct landmark in the Charlotte skyline, Garland said in a statement.

Office tower construction next to Westin to start in June

Mansfield, TX (PRWEB) October 28, 2014

Ramtech Building Systems, Mansfield, Texas has announced that the City of Austin, Texas has awarded the company a contract to provide an 8,064 square foot modular office building for the city's Watershed Protection Department. The new facility will provide space for 14 private offices, a conference room, a large training classroom, and restrooms with showers and adjacent locker areas. The project will also incorporate a number of sustainable features into the building's design and construction, beginning with the use of Ramtech's traditional permanent modular construction approach. This construction method results in substantially reduced materials waste and improved air quality by utilizing a factory controlled manufacturing environment that segregates the building materials from the exposure to inclement weather. The use of a simultaneous offsite and on-site construction process also minimizes the disturbance to the environment by reducing the number of vehicles and equipment that are required at the building site. Other sustainable features that are incorporated into the building's design include a white reflective TPO roof that reduces heat island effect, water use reduction strategies for the restrooms, and optimized energy performance that builds on the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code. This includes heating and cooling with the use of Lennox "L" Series high-efficiency zoned rooftop HVAC units, but because the building will incur infrequent high occupancy loads only during training sessions in a small section of the building, CO2 sensors and energy recovery ventilators will also be installed to meter the flow of outside air in order to match the usage demand during peak and off peak periods. The building will also include several 10 inch Solatube Day Lighting skylights to increase the natural light in the interior spaces, as well as provisions to incorporate photovoltaic panels into a field constructed south facing awning and sunshades over all window openings. The interior will be finished out using low VOC emitting materials including Altro CS, a PPC-free sheet vinyl floor covering.

The City of Austin's Watershed Protection Department was established in 1991 to manage the city's creeks, drainage systems and water quality programs. The city is relocating the Watershed Protection Department personnel from an outdated and smaller facility that the city had been leasing, to the new modular building which will be located at the department's Dalton Lane location. Ramtech anticipates completion of the project by June 30, 2015.

About Ramtech Building Systems Since 1982 Ramtech Building Systems has been providing innovative modular buildings for government agencies, healthcare providers, Fortune 500 companies, and educational institutions throughout the Southern United States. As a design-build construction company, Ramtech offers full in-house design, a manufacturer direct product, and complete site construction services all within a single-source solution. The City of Austin project will be manufactured at Ramtechs Mansfield, TX headquarters, part of a 20-acre development located in the southern part of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Structured as a vertically integrated design-build construction company, Ramtech provides space planning, design services, manufacturing, site construction and finish-out on every project they produce. By emphasizing a value engineering approach, Ramtech has successfully completed over 3,000 diverse projects of all sizes. For more information, visit the company's website at ramtechmodular.com.
