first time home buyer came to LaMantia seeking a new kitchen… just a kitchen. Little did she know what was in store for her lovely new (old) home when first meeting with LaMantia kitchen designer, Gina Mazzone, CKD, CBD. The drawings that Mazzone presented created a fresh 21st Century open plan for a good portion of the first floor of the home; a plan that perfectly fit this young professional woman that loves to entertain. There are mixed feelings regarding the loss of a formal Dining Room, but even with removing the Dining Room wall common with the Kitchen, Mazzone was able to maintain the distinction of a separate, formal room with the addition of the shallow arched opening that mimics other doorways existing in the residence.

After an unsuccessful attempt at finding the original brick for this home, we were excited to present Eldorado Stone to our homeowners for its very natural look, high quality, and reputation. We chose the Cambria Cliffstone for its elegance and rich color tones. The residents wanted to expand the kitchen into a large open space where they could entertain family and friends, so the design goal was to create a comfortable outdoor space that complimented the home’s existing exterior. Additionally, large windows were installed in an effort to bring the outdoors in as well as compliment their landscaping. Eldorado Stone proved to be a perfect fit for the exterior of this addition, as it blends in with the greenery around the home in addition to the neighborhood as a whole.

Jamestown Estate Homes presents a 5808 square foot Santa Barbara-style home, perfect for modern families. Upon entering the home through double French doors, you’ll see a graceful dining room with a two-story ceiling, bringing in lots of natural light. The great room flows to the kitchen, breakfast room and wet bar, ideal for get-togethers with family and friends. In addition, the study and separate home office, plus a mud room off the garage, make this home as functional as it is beautiful. Located on the first floor, the gameroom leads to a stunning outdoor living space. A fireplace and summer kitchen complete this impressive area. Guests will love their private suite, set away from the other bedrooms in the home. The master suite is sure to impress, with a groin vault ceiling in the master bath, oversized walk-in shower, and massive his and hers closets. Upstairs, you’ll find three generous bedrooms and an oversized media/flex room upstairs. These spaces will allow you plenty of room to spread out and enjoy!

VSI The textures in this room are fabulous. Again we just moved a few pieces around and edited for photos and presentation. The 9-acre Mimosa Hall, built circa 1840, is a landmark of neoclassical design with extensive gardens in the vibrant historic district of Roswell, Georgia, 20 miles north of Atlanta. The 6,000-square-foot temple-style home has heart-of-pine floors throughout, a black-and-white marble hall, soaring ceilings, and 10 fireplaces. Famed architect Neel Reid made Mimosa his home in the 1920s, creating a double parlor and designing a long fieldstone driveway and courtyard. The gardens include century-old trees, imposing boxwood hedges, rare specimen trees, stone walls, paths, parterres, a swimming pool, and a 19th Century grist mill refashioned into a barn. In addition, 21 acres of adjoining woods are for sale, one of the few remaining tracts of developable land of its size within walking distance of Roswell’s old town square.

This project's final result exceeded even our vision for the space! This kitchen is part of a stunning traditional log home in Evergreen, CO. The original kitchen had some unique touches, but was dated and not a true reflection of our client. The existing kitchen felt dark despite an amazing amount of natural light, and the colors and textures of the cabinetry felt heavy and expired. The client wanted to keep with the traditional rustic aesthetic that is present throughout the rest of the home, but wanted a much brighter space and slightly more elegant appeal. Our scope included upgrades to just about everything: new semi-custom cabinetry, new quartz countertops, new paint, new light fixtures, new backsplash tile, and even a custom flue over the range. We kept the original flooring in tact, retained the original copper range hood, and maintained the same layout while optimizing light and function. The space is made brighter by a light cream primary cabinetry color, and additional feature lighting everywhere including in cabinets, under cabinets, and in toe kicks. The new kitchen island is made of knotty alder cabinetry and topped by Cambria quartz in Oakmoor. The dining table shares this same style of quartz and is surrounded by custom upholstered benches in Kravet's Cowhide suede. We introduced a new dramatic antler chandelier at the end of the island as well as Restoration Hardware accent lighting over the dining area and sconce lighting over the sink area open shelves. We utilized composite sinks in both the primary and bar locations, and accented these with farmhouse style bronze faucets. Stacked stone covers the backsplash, and a handmade elk mosaic adorns the space above the range for a custom look that is hard to ignore. We finished the space with a light copper paint color to add extra warmth and finished cabinetry with rustic bronze hardware. This project is breathtaking and we are so thrilled our client can enjoy this kitchen for many years to come!

The first additions to Linda’s home takes place in the grand Spanish dining room. Grabbing your attention right away is the oversized, 19ft dining table, sitting under a hand forged, wrought iron chandelier. This tabletop is made from thick, natural, reclaimed wood, that beautifully ties into the authentic, timber-beamed ceiling. In our classic Gitana style, four teardrop bases with beveled edges make up the bottom half of this Spanish style table. Made from solid mesquite wood, these bases showcase natural stretches and imperfections, and bring out the same beautiful details that are present in the other additions to this impressive rustic dining room. Each side of the dining table is decorated with nine beautiful, hand-carved chairs. These solid mesquite chairs are hand carved with our popular Hoja style design in mind, and feature smooth, hand tooled leather. Not only do these chairs bring in style, but they also bring in a great deal of comfort for Linda and all of her guests.

PHOTO CREDIT: INTERIOR DESIGN BY: HOUSE OF JORDYN © We can’t say enough about powder rooms, we love them! Even though they are small spaces, it still presents an amazing opportunity to showcase your design style! Our clients requested a modern and sleek customized look. With this in mind, we were able to give them special features like a wall mounted faucet, a mosaic tile accent wall, and a custom vanity. One of the challenges that comes with this design are the additional plumbing features. We even went a step ahead an installed a seamless access wall panel in the room behind the space with access to all the pipes. This way their beautiful accent wall will never be compromised if they ever need to access the pipes.

This historic 1840’s Gothic Revival home perched on the harbor, presented an array of challenges: they included a narrow-restricted lot cozy to the neighboring properties, a sensitive coastal location, and a structure desperately in need of major renovations. The renovation concept respected the historic notion of individual rooms and connecting hallways, yet wanted to take better advantage of water views. The solution was an expansion of windows on the water siding of the house, and a small addition that incorporates an open kitchen/family room concept, the street face of the home was historically preserved. The interior of the home has been completely refreshed, bringing in a combined reflection of art and family history with modern fanciful choices. Adds testament to the successful renovation, the master bathroom has been described as “full of rainbows” in the morning.

For this project, the customer envisioned enhancing their kitchen, creating a seamless connection to the living and dining areas, which had been raised. We presented options for the addition, showcasing designs that married simplicity with elegance. The first options featured straightforward roofing solutions, while the final design embraced the home's curves, incorporating the graceful rounded windows, entryway, and chimney. We crafted the addition with a stunning barrel ceiling adorned with rich walnut wood paneling and accent lighting, creating an inviting atmosphere. After careful consideration, the clients chose the more intricate design, perfectly complementing their home's aesthetic. To elevate the space, we added a round window and an arched window in the kitchen, enhancing its character. In the living area, they selected a Nana Wall door, allowing for a harmonious flow between indoors and the outdoor entertainment space. The kitchen showcases exquisite walnut cabinets, accented with white painted cabinets in a sleek shallow shaker style. The 2cm Dekton countertops & backsplash were designed with an island height of 2 1/4 inches, creating a more dynamic space. As passionate cooks and bakers, the clients chose Wolf and SubZero appliances, panel-ready to harmonize beautifully with their kitchen design. This project turned out breathtakingly, and the clients are overjoyed to possess a kitchen that embodies beauty and functionality, exceeding their dreams and aspirations.

BATHROOM NO.2 - HOME DESIGN NO. 3713-V1 by Drummond House Plans Having received much attention at a Home Show in which it had been built on site and in response to the many requests for the addition of a garage to plan 3713, we are pleased to present model 3713-V1. The addition of a garage that is 14’ wide and almost 28’ deep is sure to meet the needs of the many who specifically requested this convenient feature. Outside, the addition of a garage clad in fibre cement panels with cedar siding matches the rest of the structure for a pleasing visual impact and definite curb appeal. Inside, other than the service entrance from the garage, this plan shares the same laudable features as its predecessor such as 9’ ceilings throughout the main level, a modern fireplace in the living room, a kitchen with an 8’ x 3’ island and computer corner, nicely sized bedrooms with ample closet space that includes a walk-in in the master bedroom and a full bathroom with separate 42” x 60” shower enclosure.

A prime example of a modern wine vault, this cellar holds 1400 bottles and was designed with individual bays to hold regions of wine from California to Europe. The rigid vertical standards have a brushed stainless steel finish and was designed to store 3 bottles per bracket. In addition, we incorporated a presentation rack for some of the finest bottles in the collection. Indirect L.E.D. cove lighting was used specifically for brightness and low heat emittance. The vault has a remote chiller, humidifier, insulated glass and spray foam wall panels around the perimeter to ensure a stable climate year around.

Behind a stylish black barn door and separate from the living area, lies the modern laundry room. Boasting a state-of-the-art Electrolux front load washer and dryer, they’re set against pristine white maple cabinets adorned with sleek matte black knobs. Additionally, a handy utility sink is present making it convenient for washing out any tough stains. The backdrop showcases a striking Modena black & white mosaic tile in matte Fiore, which complements the Brazilian slate floor seamlessly.

This Long Island patio installation presented the challenge of a small backyard and existing free-form pool to work around. The solution was a beautiful multi-level pool surround that gave the illusion of space by creating dedicated areas for dining, cooking, and lounging. And to fit the client's budget, the design was structured as a multi-stage installation, with the ability to add additional areas and landscape elements in the future.
