The owners of this Old Metairie home love to spend time in the kitchen preparing meals and entertaining family and friends. Cabinets by Design outfitted the kitchen with custom French Blue cabinets that provide ample storage and complement the interiors. Off the kitchen, a butler’s pantry with matching cabinetry provides additional storage while a family room wet bar includes a wine cooler and ice machine. The master bath includes separate vanities joined by a large drawer base unit. A nearby linen cabinet has built-in laundry hampers.

This full-scale Brooklyn renovation transforms a cramped, closed-off kitchen into an open-concept living space by removing the dividing wall, soffit, and header. Highlighting a modern, high-end design, the layout features frameless two-tone cabinetry—combining matte black base units with vertical-grain light oak uppers—and a central waterfall island wrapped in Metro Stone White Calacutta quartz. The space is finished with 32"x32" Calacutta Aline porcelain floor tile, Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace paint, and a fully updated electrical and plumbing infrastructure. Complete with a smart appliance suite (including an LG Studio range, counter-depth fridge, and Sharp microwave drawer), custom pantry pull-outs, dedicated closet framing, and warm brass accent lighting, this project blends sleek contemporary aesthetics with maximum functional storage.

This kitchen was part of a complete home renovation, for clients who wanted to use the multifunctional space to cook, socialise and entertain in. Storage was also front of mind for this living space. For this project, we used the Torino Lack kitchen from our German Nolte range, with kitchen cabinetry in white soft matt. To give this kitchen its own unique feel, we used a handleless design for the wall cabinets with contemporary handles for the base units. The island really makes a statement with its quartz worktop complete with waterfall ends. Our clients opted for a suite of Smeg appliances including a 90cm oven, combi oven, coffee machine, warming drawer and wine cooler. For some more classic kitchen inspiration, our British Masterclass range will also ignite your creative juices!

Elegante stands for the frame door with a 45° cut, which incorporates the aesthetics of a picture frame. To meet the more sophisticated and demanding requests, the finish of the handle, the frame and the plinth of the model are available in the same color of the door, having as result a tone on tone effect. The Shell System structure, which was previously used only horizontally, to create handgrips for the doors on the base units, has now been extended vertically to the columns.

Designed by the homeowner with some suggested changes by me. Home office built-ins that may be used either for home-working parents or their teenage children. Includes plenty of drawer space (though no file drawers) and a printer pullout in the center base unit. Library lights will go up top.

Largely designed by the homeowners, with adjustments by me for functionality and appearance, this home office built-in features a large hidden storage capacity with 18" deep doored upper cabinets. It also has a visible pencil drawer in the desk section, and four pullouts in the base units that are all custom sized for specific purposes, and include a letter-size file drawer. There are even doors covering a 3" deep space underneath the desk area to cover up the electrical and data cables. Existing crown molding is run across the top to tie it in visually with the room. There is vertical "fluted" trim, but without the flutes.

The Evolution Wine Wall is a modular wine storage systems that expands to fill any custom wine cellar space. Each base unit can be expanded to the side for maximum flexibility. Stack the different heights to scale up a wall. With three bottle depth options — and rows that can fit Champagne, standard, and magnum bottles — this wine rack can scale to any need!

The Cayenne Cognac cabinets are traditional in style with raised box paneling on the door fronts. Made from solid wood, it has features such as dovetail joints, concealed hinging and soft closing drawer glides as standard. There is a great choice of different wall and base units, including oven and pantry cabinets, which makes for easier kitchen design plus lots of kitchen accessories such as corner shelving, wine racks and attractive valances.

Banquettes are wonderful space-savers, and a curved one is very fun! For this “to the studs” kitchen / great room remodel, we proposed removing the old “exterior” windows which separated the kitchen from the enclosed garden room. We proposed a custom curved banquette to work as a more stylish and functional room separator and to give more floor space for the new kitchen configuration. In addition, the client’s many grandchildren would have a cool spot to dine during family get-togethers. With messy kids and a standard size poodle in mind, we selected a high performing fabric for the back and a durable vinyl for the seat. The soft blue greens and bronze tones are a nice contrast to the “seven shades of gray” used in the kitchen and den. To insure a perfect fit in the new curved opening, drawings and a full size template were sent to the manufacturer. A challenge was the two Diameters: While the back of the banquette follows the curve of the window, the front follows the curve of the table. It was tricky to work out how the back would curve and relate to the base unit while fitting perfectly in the opening and fitting the diameter of the table in the front. A full scale template was provided to the manufacturer. Aaron Dougherty Photography
