Inspiration for a mediterranean galley eat-in kitchen remodel in San Diego with flat-panel cabinets, light wood cabinets, stainless steel countertops and an island

Kitchen and mudroom remodel. Full kitchen remodel including new hardwood floors throughout the first floor, new kitchen window, and new large French door to exterior in adjoining family room. The new design turned this kitchen into a great new open space combining the sitting room and kitchen into one new large space. Adding the large 10’ French door to the sitting room lets in tons of natural light as well as great views of the backyard. The cabinetry is Fabuwood Brand with the perimeter in Wellington Cinnamon and the island in a custom paint color Wild Blue Yonder ( yes, that’s right Fabuwood does custom colors!! ) The mudroom cabinetry is Fabuwood in Nexus Frost with a Deepstar Slate laminate bench top. The kitchen countertops are Truffle Quartzite which pulled the whole room together. The kitchen and surrounding flooring is engineered hardwood in Entrada Amendiom. The mudroom floors are Luxury vinyl Alterna Whispered Essence Hint.

We removed the tub, and relocated the entrance to the walk in closet to the bedroom to enable increasing the size of the shower for 2 people. We added a bench and large wall to wall niche that tied into the accent tiles and quartz slabs on the shower walls. The valves for the shower heads are located on the inside of each ponywall for easy access prior to entering the shower. The door to the water closet was relocated and replaced with a barn door. New cabinets with a storage tower, quartz countertops and new plumbing and light fixtures complete the new design. Added features include radiant heated floors and water purifying system.

This design / build project in Los Angeles, CA. focused on a couple’s master bathroom. There were multiple reasons that the homeowners decided to start this project. The existing skylight had begun leaking and there were function and style concerns to be addressed. Previously this dated-spacious master bathroom had a large Jacuzzi tub, sauna, bidet (in a water closet) and a shower. Although the space was large and offered many amenities they were not what the homeowners valued and the space was very compartmentalized. The project also included closing off a door which previously allowed guests access to the master bathroom. The homeowners wanted to create a space that was not accessible to guests. Painted tiles featuring lilies and gold finishes were not the style the homeowners were looking for. Desiring something more elegant, a place where they could pamper themselves, we were tasked with recreating the space. Chief among the homeowners requests were a wet room with free standing tub, floor-mounted waterfall tub filler, and stacked stone. Specifically they wanted the stacked stone to create a central visual feature between the shower and tub. The stacked stone is Limestone in Honed Birch. The open shower contrasts the neighboring stacked stone with sleek smooth large format tiles. A double walnut vanity featuring crystal knobs and waterfall faucets set below a clearstory window allowed for adding a new makeup vanity with chandelier which the homeowners love. The walnut vanity was selected to contrast the light, white tile. The bathroom features Brizo and DXV.

A fun studio apartment in the heart of Chelsea in NYC for a young, female executive. It was a rental so we were unable to paint most walls so we added color with modern artwork and pillows. This little eating nook was a cozy addition.

Interior Rehab/Renovation and Rear addition for a Multi-unit residential building in the historic Little Italy neighborhood. We converted this vintage 2 flat into a lovely private residence for the owners duplexing the 1st & 2nd floors. We also designed a separate "In-Law" unit at the gardel level for rentals. We also added a "living" Green roof which increased thermal efficiency and reduced energy costs for the owners. Probably the 1st and only Green roof in the Little Italy neighborhood for a private residence. Overall a very positive and sustainable renovation adding tons of Value for the client and great for the environment.

A long narrow kitchen renovation where we opted to put in an island and eliminate a wall of cabinets. Blocked up a window where the range is now and added two small windows. Client was from the south and loved to add some bling, so we added crystal chandeliers and glass backsplash that sparkles.

The homeowner requested new art and more storage for the master bedroom. Two new photos printed on canvas were added and a similar color storage ottoman was added below the window for not only more storage, but also as a nice place to sit down and read a book. The wall paint color remained unchanged at the request of the homeowner.

A few years ago, my Dad broke his hip, and needed his tub converted to a shower. Just because necessity brings on a remodel, does not mean it's can't be both beautiful and functional. We replaced the traditional tub with a low profile shower pan and substantial sliding glass doors. We added a stone bench for seating, and changed out the hardware to include both a stationary and hand-held shower head. And of course added some grab bars for safety. We also added a built in soap dish/ shampoo caddy in the wall. On a side note, this is the most shared picture of our work on Pintrest. Apparently we aren't the only ones wanting to make sure our parents are comfortable and safe when at home.
