The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) recently held their annual Remodeling Excellence Awards, where Normandy Remodeling was honored with eight awards within the kitchen remodel, home addition and bathroom remodeling categories.
The Remodeling Excellence Awards are bestowed to Chicagoland designers and contractors who have demonstrated exceptional designs in remodeling projects within the past year. Each design was evaluated by a diverse and impartial panel of judges, comprised of industry experts. Projects were judged on problem solving, functionality, aesthetics, craftsmanship, innovation and degree of difficulty.
The eight awards bestowed to Normandy Remodeling represent the work of Normandy Designers Karen Chanan; Maury Jones; Ashley Noethe; Jeremy Paris; Laura Barber, AKBD; and Vince Weber. Overall, projects range from single interior remodels such as kitchens and bathrooms to more sweeping renovations such as whole basement remodels or home additions.
“We love to help our clients get the home they always wanted and make them happy, and when the design industry recognizes our work, it’s an added bonus,” said Normandy President Andy Wells. “I am so proud of our hard working, highly talented design team.”
We’ll be sharing details about all the award winning projects in the coming weeks. Watch for the project highlights to see photos of these award-winning renovations.
If you’re looking to get a renovation started for your own home, you can set up a time with one of our talented Normandy Designers to talk about the possibilities. You can also learn more about remodeling projects at an upcoming workshop.

Floor Plan Freedom – Just because there’s a wall there today, doesn’t mean it needs to stay there. More people are taking advantage of the square footage they already have by completely reconfiguring their space to suit their lives. The number one area that’s being carved out of the existing space? The Master Suite.
Elevated Functional Spaces – Laundry rooms, home offices, and mudrooms are getting some serious attention, and it’s not just about making these spaces work harder. We’ve taken our desire to enjoy the simple pleasures of everyday life and applied it to every corner of the house. Beautiful tile, bright colors, and comfortable layouts take these otherwise mundane spaces and make them an enjoyable part of the home. If you have to pay bills or do laundry, why not do it someplace that makes your heart feel happy.
Blue – Blue is the coolest color for 2019. Not just navy blue, every shade of blue; aqua, teal, and sky just to name a few. You’re sure to find a blue hue that suits your style. It’s gentle on the eye and gives a polished yet casual feel. You can never go wrong with a touch of blue, it’s a nice accent to the still-going-strong trendy gray, and it never goes out of style.
Open and spacious – There’s nothing new about the open floorplan, but what’s so striking about this trend is its staying power. People have been knocking down walls and opening up their spaces for quite a while now, but this trend sees no signs of slowing down. So, feel free to tear down those walls, ditch the dining room or family room, and re-purpose your living space to work for you.
Tailored “Furniture”– It’s no surprise that we can all use a little more storage, but keeping in tune with the overall trend of personalization, people have gotten their storage into the act as well. Rather than selecting bookcases or office furniture from a home furnishings store, more people are opting to create custom solutions that are perfectly designed to suit the space. Think of the difference between buying off the rack vs having a custom-tailored suit –it’s all about the fit. And now living rooms, basements, home offices and laundry rooms everywhere are enjoying the decadence of a custom millwork solution that fits like a glove.
Pop of Color – Living Coral is Pantone’s 2019 Color of the Year. Whether you follow the Pantone trends or not, adding Living Coral into your space, either as a statement or an accent, won’t just look great, it will set the vibe you are going for. It will add comfort to your home, like a big hug. Plus it works well with lots of shades of blues, the other color trend that’s here to stay.
