Today is a Jewish holiday and it wouldn’t be a holiday in our house without my mother’s noodle kugel, so I’m sharing that recipe with you today.  This comes from a cook book, “The Butcher the Baker the Matzoh Ball Maker, put together by the women in my childhood synagogue in Salinas, CA.  There is […]

What could be better than strolling with friends outside, checking out local art galleries with a glass of wine in hand?  I am planning to do just that this Friday!   This is a wonderful way for us to support our local artists and food vendors, and enjoy an evening out.  Here is some information here […]

I am writing this blog post for all the working moms out there!  We are so proud to have many Modern Metal moms on our team.  I am a mother of three and over the years I’ve both worked full time, and been at home full time.  Now that they are older, Emma 22, Sophie […]

Today, July 1st, is the new church’s Mass of Dedication and we are honored to be a small part of this significant moment for Omaha’s Catholic community. This is a project that has been several years […]

We’re busier than ever with so many requests for using Modern Metal outside. Exterior panels are hot right now. It’s what is happening! Everyone wants their backyard to be beautiful and enhanced with special details, including metal. We’re sharing a preview of this current bay area project before installation. Our panels will serve as deck […]

This has been our tagline since we started. Our entire product line revolves around this notion, that every detail matters. We are firm believers that whether it’s a vent in an obscure location or a vent that is center front in a newly renovated space, the details make a difference. Seeing an intentionally designed well […]
