Example of a transitional dark wood floor kitchen design in Boston with flat-panel cabinets, dark wood cabinets and white walls

Nestled on a tiny lane in Santa Fe’s historic East Side, this adobe home started its life as two small houses that were joined in the ‘50s and then added to over the years. In order to create a more livable and contemporary space, the flow of the house was reworked, adding closets where none existed and an additional bathroom, while maintaining the casita’s original charm.

In a ‘70s high rise with open views overlooking Broadway, the client wanted to add moldings and a fireplace to an otherwise ordinary box in the sky in order to give the space more warmth and character. We chose a transitional approach incorporating antiques and modern pieces utilizing a neutral palette with splashes of color.

When a client decided it was time to create her dream bathroom, the mandate was to have an “Old World” look combined with a “contemporary” feel. Using an antique Mexican mesquite door as our starting point (which we turned into the front panel of the soaking tub), we designed a large vanity by upcycling old mesquite lumber, making it feel like a repurposed piece of antique furniture. Hand-hewn Cantera stone sinks, custom made in Mexico, and hand-forged iron hardware add the finishing touches. We continued the use of the Cantera stone by creating large mirror surrounds as well as a custom bench for the steam shower. Natural river stone floors complete the “rusticated” look while contemporary large format porcelain wall tiles bring the bathroom into the 21st century.
