Reality Home Building: The Donovan's Favorite Products
Monday, October 01, 2007

Check out the products the Donovans chose for their new home! Photos and links to most of the products can be found in the Hottest Products section by category.

KITCHENAID APPLIANCES

We are so excited about our Kitchen Aid appliances,” the Donovans said. Tim and Dawn chose all stainless-steel appliances for the home which included a gas oven and stove, faucet, dishwasher, microwave, trash compactor and refrigerator. They also chose Kitchen Aid for their countertop appliances such as a mixer and food processor.  www.kitchenaid.com 

FAN-TASTIC

“We love our Hampton Bay ceiling fans because of the height of the ceilings throughout our house and the convenience of the remotes,” Tim Donovan said. Hampton Bay offers the most current and stylish fan designs at prices significantly less than lighting showrooms. Their fans come in a variety of designs and finishes and work with all decors. They offer pewter and brushed nickel, bronze and antique copper finishes, blades from canvas and palm leaves to natural wood and glass.  www.homedepot.com   

BRILLIANT BASIN                                                                                                                      

The Donovans chose the Geometrique Square Basin sink by Porcher for their master bathroom sink. This simply shaped basin sink is an above-counter lavatory that is sleek and modern, gorgeous and functional. Light draws out the radiant beauty of the cast glass process, and its rear drain with contoured bottom is easy to use. The Donovans found their sink locally through www.etownwinteriors.com , but for those interested in all Porcher products, please visit www.porcher-us.com   

SUN AND STAR SHINE

“The rain falling on the skylights sounds just like listening to rain fall on a tin roof,” Tim Donovan said of his Velux skylights. Allowing light to filter throughout their entire great room and kitchen, Velux skylights provide the Donovans with an abundance of natural light. www.veluxusa.com   

DRAPED IN LUXURY

Elizabethtown, KY local Rachel Brosky of Rachel Brosky’s Fabrics designed the Donovan’s window treatments to bring the bold colors of their home together. Tim’s favorite is the master bedroom treatments, while Dawn’s favorite is in Reagan’s room.  

TUNE IN

Century Entertainment provided the wiring for the Donovan’s entire house, in addition to the flat-screen televisions in the master bedroom, great room and daughter Reagan’s room. Century Entertainment also provided the hot tub and the entire basement media room, including this rear-projection television. For more information go to www.centuryliving.com    

TAKE IT FOR GRANITE

The Donovans chose their granite countertops from Stone Works, a local store in Elizabethtown. For the serving bar countertop they used Absolute Black and the kitchen countertops are Bordeaux.  

CUSTOM BUILT CABINETS

The cabinets were custom-built to hold cookware without scratching everything and are a favorite product in the Donovan home.  

FLOOR SHOW

The tiles in the kitchen and hardwood floors throughout the house are another Donvovan favorite. Colonial Hardwoods provided their slate porcelain tile and Bruce Hardwood floors. www.colonialinteriorsinc.com     

CONCRETE SIDEWALKS

The concrete porch, patio and sidewalks at the Donovan home is an on-site, stamped, acid-edge special finish created by RJ Concrete.
