BGI Receives Houzz’s 2012 ‘Best Of Remodeling’ Award

I am so excited and honored to announce that I have been named one of the best designers of 2012 by Houzz for remodeling and design! Houzz (www.houzz.com), the leading online platform for home remodeling and design, recently revealed its first-ever "Best of Remodeling" awards and BGI was a winner! Houzz features the largest residential design database in the world, with 3.5 million monthly users and 80 million monthly page views. It has become the largest community of home design enthusiasts. Needless to say, I am a big fan of the site! I received the “Best of Remodeling – Wine Cellars” award for a bedroom I transformed into a wine cellar for a client that was a wine aficionado. The room was originally a 12 x 14 foot bedroom adjacent to his kitchen that became the perfect space for entertaining and enjoying fine wine. Home wine cellars have gained popularity in recent years and this particular project is a favorite of mine. Below is a picture of the project, and you can see complete details of the remodel here.

Award winners were chosen by the more than 1.2 million registered members of the Houzz community. Awards were given in two categories: Customer Satisfaction and Design. Customer Satisfaction award winners are based on homeowner members who rated their experience working with remodeling professionals in 12 categories. Design award winners’ work was the most popular among the 1.2 million members. I am thrilled to be one of the “Best Of” winners because Houzz is one of my favorite sites for ideas and inspiration.  I always ask new clients to visit the site and start an idea book from Houzz images to help us both determine their style and tastes. It's a fantastic resource, and I am extremely honored to be recognized by this community.
