Retrofitted standard window blinds with a smart, solar powered, automation kit by MySmartBlinds. This solution sits inside the rail of the blinds to hide the motor from view. The only visible piece is a small solar panel at the top corner of the window. These can be controlled remotely by the app or by the homeowner's Google Home devices.

Enclosed kitchen - mid-sized transitional u-shaped dark wood floor enclosed kitchen idea in Chicago with a farmhouse sink, shaker cabinets, white cabinets, quartz countertops, multicolored backsplash, mosaic tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances and no island

The mixture of grey green cabinets with the distressed wood floors and ceilings, gives this farmhouse kitchen a feeling of warmth. Cabinets: Brookhaven and the color is Green Stone Benjamin Moore paint color: There's not an exact match for Green Stone, but Gettysburg Grey, HC 107 is close. Sink: Krauss, model KHF200-30, stainless steel Faucet: Kraus, modelKPF-1602 Hardware: Restoration hardware, Dakota cup and Dakota round knob. The finish was either the chestnut or iron. Windows: Bloomberg is the manufacturer the hardware is from Restoration hardware--Dakota cup and Dakota round knob. The finish was either the chestnut or iron. Floors: European Oak that is wired brushed. The company is Provenza, Pompeii collection and the color is Amiata. Distressed wood: The wood is cedar that's been treated to look distressed! My client is brilliant , so he did some googling (is that a word?) and came across several sites that had a recipe to do just that. He put a steel wool pad into a jar of vinegar and let it sit for a bit. In another jar, he mixed black tea with water. Brush the tea on first and let it dry. Then brush on the steel wool/vinegar (don't forget to strain the wool). Voila, the wood turns dark. Andrew McKinney Photography

This project won in the 2013 Builders Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh Housing Excellence Award for Best Urban Renewal Renovation Project. The glass bowl was made in the glass studio owned by the owner which is adjacent to the residence. The mirror is a repurposed window. The door is repurposed from a boarding house. George Mendel

CONCEPT: Create an upscale kitchen including mid-century elements and modern technology. SOLUTION: A half wall replaced a tall partition allowing visibility from the entry to outdoors. The ceiling was raised; a flush mounted remote-controlled hood permits unobstructed views. The trapezoid shaped island enables flow from dining and outdoors as well as provides seating. Cabinets are practical yet stylish and efficient; they include trash/recycle and even compost bins. Drawers are universally accessible allowing for “aging in place”. The client can set infinite lighting scenarios through “Smart” lighting technology connected to Google Home. Bold blue color is paired with rich wood tones creating a calm yet sophisticated feel. This 1960’s home now boasts an attractive mid-century kitchen with functional cabinetry and innovative technology.
