Photo by Jody Dole This new mixed-use building located in a quaint village has made a name for itself. It features a third floor apartment, second floor office space, and first floor retail. The design of the building's exterior bridges the gap between new and old. The cedar shingle gable roof form and double hung window style blend with the traditional New England context of neighboring buildings. The vertical grooved siding and a sliding 'barn' door hint at an agrarian vernacular. The sliding door features sixteen sparking panels of 'glass quilts' designed by glass artist, Alan Davidson of Guilford, CT. Angular roof forms, support brackets, and trim along with the black paint color provide a modern edge. The building and the new first floor art gallery have generated much interest and excitement for the town. John R.

We installed an elevator in this home in the Foyer area. While the master bedroom was on the first floor, their were also bedrooms in the basement and 2nd floor. Having the elevator makes for easy access to the other levels, whether to go to a bedroom or get heavy items to another floor. When/if their parent's ever live with them, having the elevator will make it an easy transition. Home was built by and pictures taken by Mark of Action Builders Inc.

The new design reformulated the first floor plan making it much more functional and visually exciting. It encompassed the reorganization of multiple spaces including the Mudroom, Kitchen, Dining Room, Family Room, Sun Room, Laundry, Bathroom, and Master Closet. The design also added, deleted, and relocated windows and French doors to greatly enhance exterior views, draw in more natural light, and seamlessly upgrade the articulation of exterior elevations. Improvements to the plumbing and mechanical systems were also made. The overall feeling is both sophisticated and yet very much down to earth. John R.

Faced with an outdated original kitchen with cabinets she was not crazy about, Ann knew she wanted to update the space. “Originally I was going to paint the existing oak cabinets, tweak them a little bit, replace a couple and try to create more cabinetry where a desk was [situated],” she says. However, it was at this point her handyman recommended using IKEA cabinetry instead, which she quickly began to research at her local IKEA – even starting a quick mock up on the IKEA Home Planner software. “I could see that an IKEA kitchen was definitely in the budget. Naturally, it was more than just painting and reconfiguring a few things in the existing cabinets, but it was so worth it!” she says. Although Ann knew how she wanted her IKEA kitchen to look, she also knew she needed professional design assistance. She explains: “I had created a design online with IKEA’s 3-D kitchen planner. However I wanted a professional to look over the design and complete or fill in the layout with the most efficient use of cabinets and drawers.” Enter IKD’s design team. IKD guided her as to where to put pullouts to place shelves and where cupboards would make more sense than drawers. This made her IKEA kitchen much more ergonomic and functional. “I trusted these professionals to know and design for basic storage needs and to add details I would not have thought about,” she says. Once the layout with IKEA LEHRYTTAN stained black cabinetry was established, Ann also hired MC Wood Works in Chino, CA to install her cabinetry. “The owner and installer, Michael, does nothing but install IKEA and has been doing it for 20 years. He was far less expensive than other installers and estimated a day to a day and a half versus almost five days that was quoted to us from other installers. He was fantastic,” she says.

The plan for this sensational residence was the original creation of Ken Andersen and his associates at the venerable firm of R.S. Granoff Architects. After enjoying their beautiful home for eight years, the owners felt the time had arrived to expand and enhance their outside living space, and to complement it with an elegant conservatory. Naturally, they turned to Ken for inspiration, who to our gratitude called on the Renaissance Design Team to assist in bringing his plan and his clients’ dreams to fruition. Meeting an exceptionally tight completion schedule was but one of many challenges for this fast-track job. Thanks to the cooperation of every participant, first-shovel to completion was accomplished in an incredibly short twelve weeks; all with minimal disruption to the family’s daily routine. Ken Andersen’s relentless attention to the many intricacies clearly resonates in the glorious finished product. GOALS: • Create a conservatory garden room from which to savor the seasonal splendor of the home’s expansive yards. • Add a new stone patio and open air kitchen, easily accessible from the new conservatory’s dining area. • Provide access from the adjacent family room and the convenience of a direct pathway to the kitchen. • Eliminate the shared family room wall to enhance room size, traffic flow, and natural lighting. • Accomplish all this in a manner consistent with the home’s fine Tudor-inspired architecture. FEATURES: • The suggestion of traditional hewn timber frame construction through the use of chamfered pilasters, ceiling beams, and lantern rafters. • The warmth of naturally finished mahogany accentuating a painted beaded ceiling. • Delicately mullioned transom sash articulated in German Antique art glass with soldered copper cames. • Renaissance’s Signature Revival Series oiled bronze push-pull window hardware. • Concealed rolling insect screens with beaded head valences. • Raised paneling at the knee wall and light shaft, matching those found elsewhere in the home. • A venting roof lantern with motorized sash. • Copper roofing, gutters, spouting, and finial posts.

All Weather teamed up with the Property Brothers and Emmy nominated actress and comedian Cheryl Hines on this week’s episode of HGTV’s hit show CELEBRTIY IOU. In the Cheryl Hines Gifts a Garage Makeover episode, Cheryl surprises Sarita, her close friend of nearly 20 years, by transforming her underused detached garage into a gorgeous multi purpose guest suite and work space. Sarita started as Cheryl’s assistant, turned into a close friend as well as a nanny for her daughter Catherine. “Sarita is a part of the family and Catherine wouldn’t be who she is today without her.” said Hines. “She taught Cat so much.” Cheryl Hines learned a very important lesson about demolition from the Property Brothers. you can’t scream because all the stuff flies into your mouth. Hines wields a reciprocating saw and sledgehammer and knocks down shelves in the episode. The newly renovated garage features All Weather Series 8100 Multi Slide Doors and Counter Top Sliding Windows to allow natural light and fresh air in; a sophisticated kitchenette, spa inspired bathroom, built in desk, spacious walk-in closet and a Murphy Bed for the perfect mother-in law suite and personal retreat.

NE Cabinet partnered with Fallon Builders on this Danvers, Massachusetts, kitchen renovation to transform an enclosed, outdated space into a brighter, more open kitchen designed for everyday family life and entertaining. The homeowners wanted to update their space to blend traditional warmth with transitional style. Fabuwood Fusion Dove cabinets along the perimeter create a soft light, welcoming foundation, while a contrasting Fabuwood Fusion Timber island adds warmth, depth, and visual interest. The two-tone cabinetry brings together classic design and a fresh, updated feel. By opening up the original layout, the renovation created a more connected living space with room for family gatherings, entertaining, and everyday moments. The result is a kitchen that feels brighter, more spacious, and better suited to the homeowners’ lifestyle. A Trusted Kitchen Design Partner for Contractors This project also reflects the collaborative approach NE Cabinet brings to contractor partnerships. Our designer, Sam, worked closely with Fallon Builders and helped bring the kitchen vision together through thoughtful cabinetry selection and design support that complemented the overall renovation. At NE Cabinet, we work alongside builders and general contractors as an extension of their team, offering flexible support ranging from cabinet selection and orders based on contractor-provided measurements and layouts to more comprehensive kitchen design assistance. Our goal is to make the cabinetry process smoother, support the contractor's workflow, and help deliver a finished space everyone can be proud of.
