Featured Designer: Laurie Fulkerson When it comes to home design, color is a well-thought-out decision for our Twin designer, Laurie Fulkerson. Color can provide a glimpse into the homeowner’s personality, it can set a dramatic tone for a room, and it can give a subtle backdrop for furnishings and architecture. Laurie shares her go-to hues […]

July Market Recap
Since moving to Birmingham in 2016, this was my second year going to the market. To say I was overwhelmed and dead by the end of my 3 days is an understatement! While living in Chicago, I would attend the 4 floor Merchandise Mart and thought it was the greatest thing. As I walked into […]
Outdoor Kitchens
Kitchen design and space planning are not just for the interior of your home. Outdoor spaces can become the perfect “hangout spots” or “end of the day retreats” with just the right imagination. Of course, all of us at Twin are here to help! Here is one of my favorite outdoor oasis’ renovated for a […]

This week, our cabinet designers, Lauren and Crystal, are sharing some of their favorite Twin kitchens and designs, and the reasons why they love them!

The Playroom: A Place for Little Ones
Summer is here! Along with hours and hours of outside time for children. However, those same little ones who love the outdoors, trample barefoot everywhere and seem to have limitless scope for the imagination also need a little inside time every now and then. Enter, the playroom. Many of our homeowners request playrooms and we […]
Making Progress
We love seeing a foundation take shape into a beautiful home. Here are a few sneak peaks of homes that are evolving into lovely dwelling places! Beautiful windows and wood siding instantly make this house feel more like a home. After framing, a cozy porch and French doors begin to shine! And look at the difference […]
Celebrating 15 Years!
We recently celebrated our 15th anniversary here at Twin Construction! A lot can happen in 15 years – a lot of life, change and growth. When I first put my hands to the plow in the construction world, I was a single guy sleeping on my twin brother’s sofa. I was taking on new projects slowly, […]
Twin Office Remodel
If you’ve visited our office in the last few months, you know that we’ve been under a good bit of construction. Our office needed a few updates and we decided to embrace them head-on. Our renovation involved a lot of creativity, a few months of “musical desks” to accommodate construction needs and plenty of opportunities […]
Porch Living
It’s that time of year again – porch weather! Porches have come a long way. They’re often treated as another room in the home – another space to gather, dine and share life. Many clients even plan their porches and outdoor furniture selections so that they are able to use them year round. Here are a […]
Embracing Open Shelving
I know, just reading that title, your mind instantly goes here- Where will my game day and sippy cups go? I don’t have any pretty serving pieces to display. What about the dust? Let’s talk it out. While kitchen cabinets have a significant impact, too much cabinet can get a little heavy & boring. Renovating […]
All About Countertops
As a designer, one of my favorite things is going to the stone yard and selecting slabs that are eventually fabricated into beautiful countertops. There are so many countertop materials available, homeowners often say it’s confusing when trying to pick the perfect one! I have listed the most common materials used today, along with their […]
2017 Brings Bold Cabinet Colors
Last year, the cabinet rage and interior design trend was #allwhiteeverything. White is beautiful and so classic, and we fully embraced the trend with white cabinets all over Birmingham. We have done some punches of color in the past… But this year we are looking forward to bringing the bold! Come by and check out […]
Friday Transformation
We are inspired by transformation, the idea of what could be. Clients often come to us with the realization that, as their family has grown and their tastes have evolved, their home no longer functions at its best. Maybe their home needs a different flow to better accommodate more of the people they love. Maybe […]
To Market, To Market…
It’s that time of year again – market time in Atlanta! I am asked often about my “market trips”, so I thought I would give you a peek into a few things that caught my eye on my recent trip. I was there for 4 days and I WAS ABOUT DEAD when I came home! […]
A Look at Metal Finishes
Metal finishes add depth and interest to any living space. Selecting metal finishes may seem like a very small part of your design plan, but they can add loads of character to your room. When it comes to eye-catching interiors, details and finishes are extremely important because those small elements help to create the overall […]
Choosing Neutrals
Who doesn’t love a good neutral, but what side do you fall under? All projects need a neutral color that works as a general backdrop to drive the design direction. When I start a project with a client, I like to ask if the client is more of a beige or a gray person. I […]
Kitchen Dining Trends
Today’s family is busy, busy, busy. Meal time can be challenging to plan with so many different schedules to coordinate. Often, when we are designing a house, one of the main things I think about is the dining space. All of my children are teenagers now, so meal time at my house looks a little […]
2016- The Year of Color!
Hi! It’s me Laurie! One of the perks of my job is seeing first-hand the trends for the year and how they can be incorporated into my clients’ projects. I am not really interested in “trendy” things, but prefer to use classic and timeless pieces as a foundation, while integrating items that are new and […]
Mirror, Mirror On The Wall…
Mirrors have been hanging around for a long time, but they have changed a good bit in the design world. They can easily become a focal point in a room as they open up a room and make it seem bigger instantly. They are great for reflecting natural light from windows, as well as lighting […]
