I had my Iris built in 2012 and my home has the niche (that's what I call it) off the laundry room. My home is finally off the unfurnished, long-term rental market and I can now do something with the niche. I'm into genealogy so I've always planned on making that area a home office with some desk space and some filing cabinets! I would like to match my silk cabinets and the countertops in the bathrooms. Some posters on TOTV have posted pictures of what they have done with that area and I have saved them but, does anyone else have any pictures? Also, does anyone have any recommendations for a contractor? I'm in Michigan now so I don't even have the measurements for the niche! Mom and I are planning a trip to TV in the fall so I would like to do this project when we are there.

What is a silk cabinet? If you want the exact same cabinets and countertops, call warranty and they can give you the name of the contractor who put yours in. It is worth seeing if their bid stacks up against others, anyway.

Thanks Gracie! It's hard to explain the silk cabinets. It's a white cabinet but not a stark white. I plan to call Warranty and get the information on the cabinets and the countertops.

Here is a picture of the silk cabinets in my master bathroom.

We have silk cabinets in both of our homes. Company who installed is come in couple weeks for quote in our Lilly. We are thinking of removing the laundry cabinets, replacing with tall cabinets over w/d and on wall against kitchen. Then desk along that wall curving under the window with built in file cabinets in desk. Master closet bid also need more storage.

We were able to get exact match pantry cabinets from Pro-Source Orlando. They were much less expensive than having a contractor provide them, and they were delivered and placed where we requested. All packaging was taken away by the delivery guys. Very satisfied.

DH installed mine, but I'm betting there are lots of contractors who can do it around. It isn't rocket science.

Ask the Warranty Dept. for the name of the manufacturer of the cabinets. There are likely many sources nearby that can sell that brand. We needed some extra cabinets made by Homecrest. I went on the Homecrest website and got exact specifications of the cabinets we needed, then got quotes from various companies around here that can order from Homecrest.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I'm going to be in TV in a few weeks and this is one of the projects I would like to get done on this trip. Any contractor recommendations would be appreciated! Thanks.

Contact Timberwood Properties ask for Tim Richardson, he installed a desk with file cabinets under the window, 2 corner shelves on each side of window and put a folding table / shelf over our washer and dryer, turned out great and was a big selling point of our Iris in 2014, he has since installed a new cabinet and granite top addition to our existing cabinets in our new Iris, also very good workmanship!!! 352 751 6904
