This kitchen renovation in Charlotte, NC was designed to create a bright, functional space that supports both everyday living and entertaining. The updated layout introduces a seamless connection between the kitchen and a dedicated dining nook, enhanced by large windows that maximize natural light. As part of a comprehensive design-build remodeling project, the space features a balanced mix of warm wood cabinetry and white painted cabinets, paired with a clean, neutral palette. A central island improves workflow and gathering, while a built-in wet bar adds convenience for entertaining and additional storage, creating a more versatile and usable space. The result is a thoughtfully reconfigured kitchen that enhances flow, increases functionality, and reflects how the homeowners live and gather today.

Calacatta Viola marble is defined by its dense, slow-formed crystalline structure, which produces the deep burgundy and violet veining that moves with rare chromatic intensity across a ground of cool white — characteristics that a high-gloss polished finish renders with full optical clarity on this wall-mount natural stone basin. Cut to a precise 20"×20" corner geometry with a 7" height, the floating profile resolves the architectural problem of compact bathrooms without reducing the visual weight the stone commands, while a fluted front profile introduces rhythmic shadow and tactile relief against the otherwise planar surface. The partially filled texture of the ribbed face contrasts directly with the mirror-polished basin interior, giving this corner wall-mount marble sink a layered materiality that reads as resolved architectural detail rather than decorative addition. Configured with one pre-drilled faucet hole for corner placement.

Our client sought elevated visual appeal and functionality from this lakefront home. We created an open, full kitchen and convenient butler’s pantry within their design. Removing the walls, which separated the family room and kitchen opened up the space, introducing more natural light and gleaming lake views. Inspired by the scene, our design evolved to include a dry bar with a floating, back-lit glass countertop and custom storage. The unique, glowing bar further enhanced the entertainment aspect of the room, making it a functional and beautifully artistic addition. With modern lines and clean simplicity in mind throughout, custom floating cabinetry without hardware, waterfall-edged Peruvian walnut wood countertops, and LED-lit polished stainless steel toe kicks were added to the kitchen to make a striking impression. To complete the kitchen, high quality appliances and custom organization—like the Subzero wine fridge and specialty pull-out spice racks—were added to make this space both perfectly attuned to the needs of the homeowners and a visual masterpiece.

This home prized itself on unique architecture, with sharp angles and interesting geometric shapes incorporated throughout the design. We wanted to intermix this style in a softer fashion, while also maintaining functionality in the kitchen and bathrooms that were to be remodeled. The refreshed spaces now exude a highly contemporary allure, featuring integrated hardware, rich wood tones, and intriguing asymmetrical cabinetry, all anchored by a captivating silver roots marble. In the bathrooms, integrated slab sinks took the spotlight, while the powder room countertop radiated a subtle glow. To address previous storage challenges, a full-height cabinet was introduced in the hall bath, optimizing space. Additional storage solutions were seamlessly integrated into the primary closet, adjacent to the primary bath. Despite the dark wood cabinetry, strategic lighting choices and lighter finishes were employed to enhance the perceived spaciousness of the rooms.

Transformed the kitchen space by introducing a stunning new center island adorned with a blend of cabinet colors and textures, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The addition of a glass backsplash not only adds a touch of sparkle but also beautifully amplifies the natural light within the space. Inside the pantry cabinets, you'll find ample storage space, and the convenient spice pullouts are a true delight for any chef, turning their culinary tasks into a work of art.

These Grayson Chairs are one of my favorites! When you walk into this space you first see the back of these chairs, which is why I picked the beautiful Grayson's. I selected a black finish for the wood frame to coordinate with the black and white snow leopard pillows, as well as the black and white rug that is being added to the space this week. To keep the animal print vibe going, I selected a teal crock print velvet! Pictures hardly do it justice. This fabric is incredibly soft and beautiful. I put some suttle snake-like-print lumbar pillows in each, both in coral, to introduce a new color. Soon more coral accents will be brought into the space. Teal leather ottomans were added as well to get some sleekness in the space. This ottomans are so practical and each to move around for additional seating.

Removing the long, narrow center island immediately opened up the kitchen, creating a greater sense of space. Closing off an unnecessary doorway provided additional wall area, allowing the cooktop to be repositioned and improving the kitchen’s layout and flow. The bold choice of a rich green for the cabinets gave the kitchen a striking, modern look, while still feeling balanced. The green acts as a neutral tone, complemented by calming pale oak flooring, neutral quartz countertops, and a textured backsplash in a similar hue for subtle visual interest. The redesign also introduced functional zones: a dedicated baking area designed with their daughter in mind and a bar area perfect for entertaining family and friends.

Built in the 1960’s, this 1,566 sq. ft. single story home needed updating and visual interests. The clients love to entertain and wanted to create a welcoming, fun atmosphere. Their wish lists were to have an enclosed courtyard to utilize the outdoor space, an open floor plan providing a bigger kitchen and better flow, and to incorporate a mid-century modern style. The goal of this project was to create an open floor plan that would allow for better flow and function, thereby providing a more usable workspace and room for entertaining. We also incorporate the mid-century modern feel throughout the entire home from the inside to the out, bringing elements of design to all the spaces resulting in a completely uniform home. Opening-up the space and removing any visual barriers resulted in the interior and exterior spaces appearing much larger. This allowed a much better flow into the space, and a flood of natural sunlight from the windows into the living area. We were able to enclose the outside front space with a rock wall and a gate providing additional square footage and a private outdoor living space. We also introduced materials such as IPE wood, stacked stone, and metal to incorporate into the exterior which created a warm, aesthetically pleasing, and mid-century modern courtyard.

Located in Palo Alto's flood zone, this Eichler home underwent a phased renovation thoughtfully redesigned to accommodate a growing family of five, with an emphasis on school proximity and nearby grandparents. The bedroom wing was completely reconfigured, including a new front addition as a guest suite for grandparents, expanding the house to five bedrooms and three baths. Taller 9-foot ceilings were introduced in some areas, enhancing the overall openness—a lofty goal for an Eichler. The tranquil courtyard, a favorite spot for the family, was redesigned to allow parents to watch the kids while cooking. The backyard became a relaxing lounging area connected to the living room. Once dark living spaces were modernized by removing a low-hanging beam in the kitchen, adding skylights for natural light, and eliminating the fireplace to create a more functional entertainment space. Finally, new landscaping reflecting the client's heritage and some of the home's architectural elements, creates a harmonious indoor-outdoor flow.
