YELP event at Albuquerque Cabinet Brokers! What a great time!
Thanks to our local YELP Elite Members for a fabulous time! I am not sure who had a better time, YELP or Albuquerque Cabinet Brokers! We were also able to collect a load of food for the Roadrunner Food Bank! Take a look at the event page by using the link below. Here are a few of the party reviews:

This was a really cool event. I really didn’t know what to expect… I knew we would get to hear about cabinets and eat some goodies, but this was so much more than that. We started the night off with the goodies from Torino’s @ Home. There were sandwiches, local beer, and wine. While we ate we got to talk with one of the salesman, and he and my dad discussed the logistics of the cabinets (the wood type, the fact that their clientele is both commercial and residential, and an overall discuss about the company). The staff members at Albuquerque Cabinet Brokers were amazing. They are super welcoming and friendly and are pretty much there to meet your needs. They made it clear that if you can imagine it, they will build it.
After the eats and mingling, we got to take a tour. When they said tour, I thought we were just going to see the showroom, but oh no… We got to even see the woodshop! Call me weird, but that is my favorite part! I loved that we got to see where everything takes place! We got to see all of the wood, tools, and their current projects! They have some really great things going on, and they have completed some really great jobs already and have some really cool stuff in the works! It is great to see a local business working with both the big time businesses as well as the smaller residential jobs. They even mentioned they do work for people out of Albuquerque (for places including Santa Fe and Texas).
After the woodshop tour, we got to tour the showroom. They have some really cool pieces. My favorite display was the kitchen model that featured a glass countertop with glass that had originally come from The Pit. It was a super modern room, and the countertop even had a light feature that was controlled by a remote.
Basically this place has a huge selection of any color, any wood, and a wide variety of materials that you can use to remodel your home or business. If you have cabinet needs definitely check this place out! These are great people that will work with you to ensure that you get exactly what your heart desires to accomplish your dream home.

Food, booze, and cabinetry! Apparently it’s a Yelp combo for one helluva good time because we had a fabulous evening! Albuquerque Cabinet Brokers were the ultimate hosts and our new best friends!
We arrived to find cheese, bread, salad and sandwiches from Torino’s @ Home as well as chocolate galore. There was a great selection of local beers and fantastic wines as well as cold water and a ready Keurig.
The food was delicious and the beverages were refreshing but it was the company that put everything over the top.
Our hosts at Albuquerque Cabinet Brokers were knowledgeable and wowed us with some of their current projects. Their showroom was incredible. So incredible that my husband and I already have a few projects in mind for our home!
We can’t wait to come back to see our new friends again! If you haven’t met them yet, it’s time you do!

It is with great sadness that we must say goodbye to our great friend and mentor, Scott Tregembo. Scott loved the woodworking industry and especially looked forward every day to meeting new people and sharing his knowledge to make each individual project a dream come true for our customers. His motto was always, “Build each project like you are making it for your mom” and to “always keep your promises.” Scott made everyone feel like a better person just by having his friendship. He absolutely adored his wife and family and even personally he made you strive to be a better person. We will miss you so very much.
Our thoughts and prayers to the entire Tregembo family at this difficult time.

How to Match Floor Tile & Kitchen Cabinets
How to Match Floor Tile & Kitchen Cabinets
For a cohesive kitchen design, all the elements must work together in some way. This includes the floor tile and the kitchen cabinets. These two areas sit directly next to one another and take up a large percentage of the kitchen real estate. Making sure these two areas coordinate helps ensure that your total kitchen design is a success.
Style
One of the first things to look at when selecting your floor tiles and cabinets is to coordinate their style. Contemporary, slab style cabinets work best with floor tiles that have clean edges and narrow grout joints. Raised panel cabinets can handle multipiece pattern tile floors, as well as floors stone tiles. Cabinets that have strong lines or pronounced wood grain need a floor tile with equal character to stand up to them. This includes slate or tiles made to look like other materials, such as wood or fabric.
Color
The floor tile often needs to balance the colors in the rest of the kitchen. For example, a kitchen with light cabinets and dark counters would have a dark floor to provide balance. If going for a kitchen that uses multiple shades of one color or tone, choose floor tiles that pick up the darkest color in the kitchen cabinets. This can be the glaze color, or the darkest tone in a wood grain.
Size
The size of the tiles you choose is linked partially to the style you select. Sleek, contemporary kitchen cabinets work best with over-sized floor tiles that have fewer grout lines. Cabinets in antique farm kitchens may make use of smaller tiles that have a lot of variation in color. The smaller tile sizes mean that more variation is visible in the floor. Generally, however, tiles in modern kitchen should measure at least 12 inches in size. This size ensures that the floor isn’t broken up into a small grid, which can draw the eye to the floor.
Accents and Pattern
Tile pattern adds interest and design to the kitchen, but they don’t work with all cabinet styles. Contemporary kitchen cabinets can clash with floors that are too busy, but traditional style cabinets, raised panel cabinets and decorative cabinets can work beautifully with a pattern on the floor. Keep the size and style of the pattern in keeping with the cabinets, and let the pattern itself take last place in consideration. This lets the harmony of cabinets and tile show through.
