For IKD customer John his IKEA kitchen remodel wasn’t just big on style, it was Texas-sized style. “We’re based in a suburb of Houston that is trying to preserve Mid-Century Modern houses from the 1950’s and 60’s. We really wanted a modern design with retro touches and we had a strong preference for wood doors. From a functional standpoint, we wanted an appliance garage [to house] our toaster oven, toaster and coffee maker. We were able to achieve all these goals with IKEA cabinets which were upgraded with Semihandmade doors,” he explains. John says that working with kitchen design professionals, like IKD, made a huge difference in his kitchen project. “I’m very happy that I used IKD. It gave me confidence that we had a good design.”In fact, he says it motivated him to remove a few cabinets to open up space around the sink and window rather than cover every wall space with cabinets. “Also, the purchase [Extra Items] list that IKD provides got me everything I needed, without having to second guess the order at all [which made installing the kitchen easier],” he concludes.

The interior details are simple, elegant, and are understated to display fine craftsmanship throughout the home. The design and finishes are not pretentious - but exactly what you would expect to find in an accomplished Maine artist’s home. Each piece of artwork carefully informed the selections that would highlight the art and contribute to the personality of each space. © Darren Setlow Photography

A pause in the craziness of life led our homeowner to consider a change in her kitchen. She wanted a place to display collections and heirlooms, provide ample storage for pantry items and gadgets, and give her a view to her breathtaking backyard. We expanded the footprint, pushing the house line back six feet, installed a picture window with a spectacular copper range and hood centered beneath, and planned her collections display areas for maximum effect.

Kitchen - mid-century modern kitchen idea in Houston

The goal of this project was to provide a lush and vast garden for the new owners of this recently remodeled brick Georgian. Located in Wheaton this acre plus property is surrounded by beautiful Oaks. Preserving the Oaks became a particular challenge with the ample front walk and generous entertaining spaces the client desired. Under most of the Oaks the turf was in very poor condition, and most of the property was covered with undesirable overgrown underbrush such as Garlic Mustard weed and Buckthorn. With a recently completed addition, the garages were pushed farther from the front door leaving a large distance between the drive and entry to the home. This prompted the addition of a secondary door off the kitchen. A meandering walk curves past the secondary entry and leads guests through the front garden to the main entry. Off the secondary door a “kitchen patio” complete with a custom gate and Green Mountain Boxwood hedge give the clients a quaint space to enjoy a morning cup of joe. Stepping stone pathways lead around the home and weave through multiple pocket gardens within the vast backyard. The paths extend deep into the property leading to individual and unique gardens with a variety of plantings that are tied together with rustic stonewalls and sinuous turf areas. Closer to the home a large paver patio opens up to the backyard gardens. New stoops were constructed and existing stoops were covered in bluestone and mortared stonewalls were added, complimenting the classic Georgian architecture. The completed project accomplished all the goals of creating a lush and vast garden that fit the remodeled home and lifestyle of its new owners. Through careful planning, all mature Oaks were preserved, undesirables removed and numerous new plantings along with detailed stonework helped to define the new landscape.
