The dining room off the kitchen incorporates an antique dining set the homeowners acquired a number of years ago. We replicated 1 chair to make a set of 6 since there had only been 5 chairs originally.

The brown sectional sofa and the blue woven ottoman set the tone for the room. The leather chairs have a whimsical and bright chenille fabric on the loose seat and back cushions. The sofa is large and in proportion to the 10' ceilings and the open floor plan; maintaining an open, airy feel for large or small groups. The painting of a large wave acknowledges the home's beach location; a sisal area rug adds warmth with a natural element. Pale blue walls enhance and define fireplace as well as the beautiful moldings and millwork.

September, Date and Time TBD | Saratoga Blackwell Hillside Garden by Rebecca Dye and Hank Helbush of Design Focus International Each detail of this spectacular Saratoga landscape was considered with its hillside site in mind, from the size of the pool to the choice of antique stone masonry. Working closely with the owner, the landscape architects created a series of intimate garden spaces on three terraces. At the top of the site, entertainment is the name of the game where a bocce ball court and a fire pit take advantage of the site’s commanding views of the Santa Clara Valley. Below the house, a jewel-like pool captures the eye, with its intricate glass-tile and bronze water jets. At its end, a seating area and fireplace are shaded by an arbor covered with climbing roses, adding both fragrance and hue. Visitors descend a series of terraced stone stairs set into the hillside, punctuated by raised beds of strawberries, lavender, artichokes, and citrus.

To create a kitchen worthy of today's demands, we needed a larger space. The formal dining room provided exactly what we needed. The soft blue cabinets and backsplash are a gentle nod to 1900's with an open plan and size that acknowledges the kitchen requirements of today's families. Besides the beautiful double oven 48" Ilve range, the walnut vent hood and the corner fireplace, you won't want to miss the double refrigerators, pull out spices and well appointed butler's pantry.

The Galley kitchen: narrow, tall ceilinged, what to do? Imagine possibilities, pay attention to the details, understand the purpose and intent of the space, acknowledge the architecture of the house, play with heights, play with forms, enjoy the process and reach for success. Jaeger & Ernst cabinetmakers reach to success for our clients every single day. The kitchen was nspired by the work of Charles R Macintosh the father of modern architecture from Glascow Scotland. In addition to the white color, a continuity of horizontal surfaces and carrying heights enhance the goal of opening the space and creating a kitchen both functional and beautiful.Image # 21068.7 Photographer: Greg Jaeger

Scottish architect Charles R. Macintosh left an abundance of work and creative effort to inspire generations. This kitchen is one of those inspirations. Designed and created for a client's row house in the D.C. area by Jaeger & Ernst custom cabinetmakers the attempt was to open and lift the space, provide a truly efficient kitchen and to acknowledge just a little of the architecture of the home. Too many kitchen designers design without consideration of the total feel of a home's architectural elements. Subconsciously the trim, casings, window style, flooring, door design, newel post, exterior features, fireplaces, etc act to provide us with a sense of the home's purpose and intent and quality. Originally in the architect's or builder's mind there was purpose and intent. Yes, they did not have the wherewithal of modern conveniences but rest assured many had a strong sense of proportion, intent and purposefulness when the home was imagined and built. We do ourselves and our homes a disservice when we act without regard for the home's legacy. Restoration is a glad burden; restoration is not a thing to be gotten beyond, rather it's an exciting path of growth and appreciation.
