One Week Bath is a Brilliant Idea
As many of you know, in October of last year Schloegel Design Remodel launched a revolutionary new idea in custom bathroom remodeling, calling it One Week Bath. This concept was developed in Los Angeles by Matt Plaskoff, a long time friend of Jake’s. Well, as it turns out, Jake wasn’t the only one who thought it was a good idea. Entrepreneur Magazine just named it one of the “100 Brilliant Ideas.” (Scroll down to “9 more to watch”.) We agree it’s a great idea as we continue to remodel One Week Baths, weekly!

A new purpose for out-of-commission cabinets
This homeowner’s friend in Chicago wanted to remodel her young kitchen. She decided to give the cabinetry and counter tops to her friend in town. We were able to reconfigure the existing cabinetry and add some new cabinetry to make this remarkable transformation for our client. The counter tops also needed to be reworked and added to. Can you detect what was original and what was newly fabricated? Congratulations to our client on a beautiful new kitchen!
Race For A Fallen Brother
Posted on September 3, 2010 · Leave a CommentI guess you’re never too old to brag on your children. Ben, our oldest son, had such a good Ironman race last Sunday, and he was racing for a very worthy cause. I feel like I need to tell everyone. So here it is:
Ben raced in the Louisville Ironman this past Sunday. It’s a 2.2 mile swim, a 112 mile bike race and a 26.4 mile marathon. There were 2995 racers, approximately 40 pros. Ben finished 6th overall, he was the #1 amateur and #1 in his age group. He had the second best marathon time of all racers, at 3 hours and 2 minutes. He qualified for the world championship Ironman in Kona, Hawaii in October. He went to Louisville with the idea of winning his age group, and he did!
Ben raced using the bib number of 590, the same number worn by John Glaser in the 2008 Louisville Ironman. John is the Shawnee firefighter that died in the line of duty on May 22nd of this year. John left behind a wife and two young children. Ben dedicated the race to John and his family, with the idea to raise money for John’s children’s education.
Ben has raised several thousand dollars in honor of John and to support his family. If you would like to support the Glaser family, follow this link: www.benschloegel.com.
Way to go Ben!
Kirei: A Green Material
Posted on September 1, 2010 · Leave a CommentIf you’re thinking about implementing Green materials in your home for your next remodel project, Kirei design materials are a great option. Kirei is a natural, sustainable material that can be used for cabinetry, furniture, paneling and much more.
Indicative of it’s sustainability, Kirei board is manufactured from reclaimed sorghum straw. Kirei products have several environmental benefits including the fact that they’re made from a non-toxic adhesive. Kirei products can also help reduce volatile organic compound (VOCs) emissions.
Here is a picture of our recently renovated showroom with Kirei board as the inserts in a base cabinet.
Feel free to contact us for more information on Kirei design materials.

Recently, our very own Debby Allmon was featured in the Handyman section of the Kansas City Star. Debby is a certified remodeler and Vice President here at Schloegel Design Remodel.
Debby was featured in the article as she answered a question submitted by a reader of the KC Star. The reader needed some tips on how to add privacy to the window panes of their French doors.
Here’s a look at what the reader asked the KC Star.
I have French doors in my house with 15 panes of glass (three panes across and five down, each 6 inches by 12 inches) on each door. I want to adhere mirrors over the panes of glass for privacy so I don’t have to use curtains. Someone told me I can’t glue mirror on top of glass. Is this true?
Debby gave the reader some great solutions to add privacy to her French door window panes. Here are some solutions from Debby.
You certainly can glue mirror on top of glass. Be sure to use an epoxy glue to provide a good bonding agent. Some adhesives will not hold over a long period of time on glass or mirror, but epoxy should.
Something you may want to consider is how this will look on the back side of the door — you may need to apply mirror to both sides of the glass so that you do not see the back of the glued mirror on the other side of the door.
