Painted or stained cabinets? The answer depends on the look you're after and how much you want the wood grain to be part of it.

Paint covers the grain completely for a smooth, solid color. Stain lets the natural grain show through with added warmth and depth. Each one has its own wood requirements and wears a little differently over time, and neither is objectively better. It really comes down to your style and how your kitchen or bath gets used day to day.

If you're trying to decide, here's what's worth knowing before you choose: https://brnw.ch/21x6BsB 🫡

Painted vs. stained cabinets: compare look, durability, and wood requirements, then see finish samples in person at our Buffalo Grove showroom.

A bathroom remodel comes with a lot of decisions. The right designer makes every one of them easier.

Claudine came to our Buffalo Grove showroom to start planning her bathroom remodel and was paired with Elwira, who guided her through each step of the process with patience, organization, and plenty of fun along the way.

Thank you, Claudine, for the kind words.

Stop scrolling. Start touching.

Bathroom inspiration is everywhere online, but you can't feel the weight of a faucet handle or test a rain shower through a screen. In our showroom, you can explore faucets, showers, tubs, vanities, and mirrors in person, and see how each finish looks under real light.

Whether you're planning a full bathroom remodel or refreshing a powder room, our designers are here to help you turn saved ideas into something real. Plan your visit today.

Some relationships are tested by distance. Others are tested by a heated seat.

Three straight 100-loss seasons. One rookie walks in and asks for bidets in the clubhouse. Now the Chicago White Sox are one win away from the ALCS.

We're not saying it's the TOTOUSA Washlets, but we're not NOT saying it either.

Munetaka Murakami's first big request in Chicago was a toilet upgrade, and the Sox have been on a tear ever since. Talent, chemistry, heated seats. Turns out a winning culture starts at the bottom. ⚾🚽

It’s not much of an exaggeration to say that the Chicago White Sox used to stink. Enter Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami.

Looks like our Player of the Week pick is a pretty easy one. 👀🏈

Congrats to Tyson Bagent on the win! We were lucky enough to have Tyson at Banner last year signing autographs, and we’ve been in his corner ever since.

Next up: Green Bay. Good luck, Tyson and team, go get ’em! 🐻⬇️

Mune came to Chicago and made one thing clear: a great bathroom matters. 💯
After requesting TOTO WASHLET bidets for the White Sox clubhouse, it’s no wonder he’s “feeling 100.”
Ready for your own bathroom upgrade? Come see what’s possible at Banner Kitchen & Bath.
Remodel Like You Mean It.

Good luck to Mune and the Sox in the Division Series! ⚾

This one's a full glow-up. 🤍

This stunning kitchen transformation has a layout built for real life (hello, beverage fridge). The quartz countertops tie it all together, doing as much work as they do looking good — and the cabinetry brings it home
