I’ve been working on a complete website redesign! New projects and features will be up soon but couldn’t wait to share with you all! Link is in my bio

We turned the recess where the refrigerator was into an adjustable pantry with loads of storage potential, hidden behind a custom cedar barn door. The same wood was used to create a unique narrow shelf recessed between wall studs that the client uses to keep cookbooks and specialty oils.

An unused breakfast room with built in desk was turned into the cooking zone. A mobile island connects the expansive kitchen, providing a convenient workspace wherever it is needed. It is topped with a custom drop edge Dekton countertop, so it can withstand hot pans straight out of the oven, and is durable enough to cut veggies right on it.

Opening up the wall between the kitchen, dining and living room required a support column, so we covered in reclaimed barn wood which you will see in other areas of the kitchen. The living room was a step down from the kitchen and dining areas, so we selected barstools that were adjustable in height so they could function at both
sides of the island.

Let’s open up 😉

A small, dark, and very blue kitchen was transformed into an open, light and airy, and functional space with this remodel I’ll be sharing this week. Kicking off the week a day late due to our family struggling with covid right now. Stay tuned!

Before we start a new work week, I have one last (but definitely not least) photo to share of this gorgeous vanity that is so much more than meets the eye. There are so many interior details packed into this design including a Dekton countertop that withstands the heat of the client’s curling iron, custom pull outs for electric toothbrushes and salon tools, and a louvered door linen tower to keep towels smelling fresh. Swipe for a peek into the working drawings.

It’s the details for me.

Design mood boards and renderings can really help clients see the bigger picture of how all of the details work together as a whole.

Before & After — We moved the closet wall back to meet the side wall of the shower, gaining a whole foot of space for the new open wet area. Sleek 48” large format porcelain tiles glaze the walls, floor to ceiling, reflecting the natural light to enhance the scale of the space. A historically inspired claw foot tub stands proud atop the smooth pebble floor. The area is adorned by sparkling polished nickel fixtures that provide an elegant touch of nostalgia within a contemporary style.

Before & After — A built in linen closet and dead corner were removed to create a long straight vanity run. A double wide trough sink provides enough space for two without taking up too much counter space. A continuous mirror with sconces mounted on the sides gives even lighting levels for applying makeup at the seated vanity.
