Turn the Ordinary into Extraordinary ARTICLE BY MONICA CAVANAUGH
Once upon a time,a couple bought a house.That ordinary purchase resulted in a surprising business venture that has grown into something quite extraordinary indeed.
The plan was to buy, remodel, sell. Byron Buck and Vicki Glass, now proprietors of National Capital Kitchens (formerly know as BV Builders), went house by house, redesigning, knocking things down, staining wood, painting, painting and painting.
Buck admits that this was a foray into the unknown. “My wife said ‘You’ve never remodeled anything in your life!’” says Buck. “And I said ‘Well, that’s true.’” They got good, and they got attention, but for years they continually turned down pleas to remodel other people’s homes. It wasn’t until two years ago when fans’ objects of desire became BV-built kitchens that the duo decided to take on clients, effectively rendering Buck’s retirement null and void.
