Dining Room wallpaper installation – Boca Raton, FL. In this Boca Raton home, we used traditional damask wallpaper in a pale gold tone to elevate a formal dining room with high ceilings and classic crown molding. The paper was installed across all four walls, aligning the pattern seamlessly. Its soft sheen plays beautifully with natural light from the arched windows and reflects the chandelier above the table, enhancing the room’s timeless character.

This kitchen renovation in Owings Mills, Maryland reimagines a 1959 home’s original character with a thoughtful blend of mid-century design and modern performance. Located in Baltimore County, the project began as a necessary plumbing update and evolved into a full kitchen remodel that balances warmth, craftsmanship, and contemporary functionality. The design features stained cherry base cabinetry paired with custom-painted slab wall cabinets, honoring the home’s original woodwork while introducing a fresh, cohesive palette. Quartzite countertops add natural movement and durability, while preserved built-in seating and reupholstered dining pieces maintain the kitchen’s authentic mid-century feel. A layered kitchen lighting design enhances both form and function, with above-cabinet, under-cabinet, and in-cabinet LED lighting controlled by a Lutron RadioRA 3 system. The kitchen is equipped with Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele appliances, seamlessly integrated for a clean, professional look. A bold checkerboard tile floor and designer fixtures complete the space, resulting in a kitchen that feels timeless, personal, and built for modern living.

Eat in or eat out? The sliding glass door to the screened in back porch seems to suggest both options are open - bring the outside in or take the inside out. Whichever choice, we have a beautiful dining room with wonderful wainscoting, crown molding, lots of windows, wide plank hardwood flooring ... or more casual dining options on the porch.
