Uptown & Undercover
Making the decision to open our own showroom was not done overnight. It began as the answer to a need for our clients. They needed a place where they could come and explore the possibilities that awaited them for their home renovation. It was important to our owners, Travis and Stacey Walker, that their clients could see and feel the products, enhancing their design experience. As the idea became a reality, the Walkers realized the added benefit of having more than just cabinets featured in the showroom. Greenbrook Design is proud to be an authorized dealer for not just four lines of cabinetry but multiple home furnishings and decor companies like Europe 2 You and Moe’s. Get a peek inside the showroom here and listen to Stacey share her vision of the showroom.

Fewer Surprises
Buying something without seeing it can definitely have its downsides, which is why we always like to have our design meetings hosted in the showroom. We make it a point to take you on a walk through our 5,000 square foot facility and introduce you to the possibilities for your home. When you can walk through, touch, and see the product, you can have a better understanding of what to expect. Some of the things you will see in our showroom include:
- Wood samples: Walnut, cherry, alder, and oak are just some of the samples we have available. It always helps the selection process when you can hold a piece of the wood in your hand, place it next to different color samples, tile, flooring, and hardware, and look at it in natural light.
- Hardware: From pulls to knobs, brass to polished nickel, comparing different sizes and materials is a great asset when choosing hardware. Size is not always easy to envision, so holding it in your hand and holding it against a full-size cabinet display is a great benefit.
- Door styles: Everyone has a style that speaks to them and that they prefer, but it helps when you can see your options right in front of you. We have a large selection of door styles in multiple wood species, stains, and colors.
- Countertops: No kitchen or bathroom is complete without one, but sometimes it can be hard to know which one will work best. Sometimes, several options are very similar, but having the opportunity to lay them side by side means you can examine them closely before making your final decision.
Putting it all together is something our clients often enjoy doing. Having the chance to put your hardware next to your cabinet door style, along with your countertop choice, means you can get the whole picture.
See The Vision
During the design meeting, as our clients are working through some of the options, sizes, and layouts they want for their home, it is not uncommon for them to ask if we have something they can look at that will help them see the vision better. We have multiple areas in our showroom that allow them to get a true feeling for what a space can look like, including a laundry room, living room, walk-in closet, fully working kitchen, and even a drop zone. These areas are meant to give our clients the chance to walk through a space that allows them to experience the size and layout. It is extremely helpful to see the actual size of one of our kitchen islands, or how tall the standard upper cabinet size is compared to ones that extend to the ceiling. The usual width between an island and the kitchen perimeter, or what a work triangle looks like, is one of the other benefits of walking through our main kitchen display. We also have several other unique features that are shown in our kitchen, including paneled appliances, trash-can and spice pull-outs, a lazy susan, a built-in microwave, under-cabinet lighting, and a Galley Workstation sink. Clients love looking at these helpful and innovative features because they can more easily envision them in their own home and decide if they will work for them.
There are many elements that contribute to creating a welcoming home, including color, patterns, decorative pieces, and furniture. All of this comes together to paint an inviting space where guests leave feeling like family. Sometimes it can be difficult to know where to start or what pieces work best together to create the perfect look. Let’s talk about five ways to create a welcoming atmosphere in your home.

Greenbrook DesignAt the heart of any design work is the chance to tell a story—the story of those who live there. Our home is at the core of who we are. It is our grounding, the place we can truly let our hair down and be ourselves. It’s where memories are not just made, but remembered and passed down to the next generation. Homes are meant to be special—a symbol to all who enter of what truly matters to us. That’s why the design choices we make should be influenced by who we are, where we came from, and how our unique experiences shape us. Across the world, people’s design choices are deeply rooted in culture. But in today’s ever-connected world, we’re also seeing a beautiful blending of cultures—where traditional elements mix with modern influences, and regional styles merge to reflect global inspirations.
Since the invention of the light bulb, we have been able to brighten up our homes at any time of day. It has been great to eliminate shadows in areas where there are limited windows or even none at all, and allowed us to achieve more in a 24-hour period. Light fixtures have also developed from being just a practical tool into works of art, giving homeowners the chance to express themselves and add a touch of elegance to any room. Changing out a light fixture can completely alter or transform a room, and with so many sizes and styles, it can be hard to know which one is right for you. As we approach the close of another year, new home lighting trends for 2022 could provide helpful information for selecting your next light fixture that will perfectly illuminate your home.
Greenbrook DesignEvery area of the home has a purpose, a specific role to play in running a house smoothly, whether that is the living room where we relax or the bathroom where we get ready for the day. The kitchen is a place of preparation, the space where we go to cook for our family, but it is the dining room where it is served and enjoyed. This is the space within the home that gives families a designated area to gather around and dine together, as well as for activities like homework, bills, and fun things like family game night. It is a multifunctional space, which means it deserves some extra attention when selecting decor pieces. Let’s talk about the many elements you can use to give the dining room the love and beauty it deserves.
