Top 10 New Kitchen Trends in 2010


Top 10 New Kitchen Trends in 2010


More and more homeowners are remodeling and making the most of their space with these top 10 hot trends in the kitchen.



1. Kitchens are now featuring a “family room” feel with more seating and dining areas.

2. The most popular color choice for cabinets was white. It works well with almost any architectural style – traditional to contemporary.

3. Stainless steel appliances are still a big hit, especially the fingerprint-resistant steel finish.




4. More and more kitchens are featuring custom additions such as pizza-making stations, coffee bars and wine-tasting nooks.

5. Walk-in pantries are popular for families and allow for ample storage of surplus items and bulk purchase like paper towels and canned goods.

6. Tech-savvy kitchens are featuring more electronics, like wall-mounted televisions and built-in sound systems.

7. Eco-friendly kitchens boost water-conserving faucets, energy start appliances and eco-friend cabinetry.

8. Built-in appliances that look more like cabinets are popping up across the country.

9. Lighting can convert from well-lit workspace to dimly lit formal dinner with the flip of a switch. Recessed lighting combined with chandeliers will do the trick.

10. A save-and-splurge mentality helps keep remodelers on budget. Choose to splurge on appliances instead of countertops or a built-in wine rack instead of a porcelain sink.

Trinity River Vision Update !!

 An Exciting Year Lies Ahead






With project construction in full swing and tons of events planned up and down the river - this year is shaping up to be the most exciting year yet for the Trinity River Vision. Catch a glimpse of what's to come!


Work Continues at Henderson St. Bridge Site Major steps have been made as TRV crews prepare for the construction of the new Henderson St. bridge. Soon, people traveling through the area will see workers relocating utilities on the cleared sites and prepping for major construction that will begin this fall. Bridge construction is scheduled to begin late this year.







What in the World is Going On in Trinity Park?

If  you've driven along Forest Park Blvd. lately and seen the river banks in Trinity Park, you've probably asked yourself, "What in the world is going on?!" Well have no fear; it's all part of a plan to rebuild the banks of the river after years of erosion in the area. Recycled concrete is used to stabilize the shoreline, but it is covered with earth and seeded once in place.


The Historic Fort Worth Stockyards Master Plan recently received the distinguished 2010 Texas American Planning Association Chapter Project Planning award in San Antonio. Click here to read more about the plan to build a boat marina in the Stockyards.
