Beautiful white kitchen with vaulted ceiling and two of the best gold gilded lanterns above the large island. Love the Calacatta marble featured on the countertops and backsplash which keep this kitchen fresh, clean, and updated. Plenty of room to seat three or four at the island. Modern with traditional lines for a transitional look. Additional friends and family can sit at the banquette in the bay window.

Jose Ramirez Interiors went all-out for this Brooklyn townhouse, with 25 slabs of Calacatta Gold marble (including book-matched slabs) installed on bathroom walls and vanities, and Calacatta Gold mosaics on all bathroom floors.

This beautiful breakfast nook features a metallic cork wallpapered ceiling, a stunning sputnik chandelier, and contemporary artwork in shades of gold and blue.

The walk in shower is constructed of bookmatched marble slabs and has a feature mosiac of marble and mother of pearl, highlighted by a wet-rated dimmable LED tape light. The bench and floor are heated and the faucet and valve trims are done in polished nickel and crystal.

A white kitchen with mixed metals and a combination of gray and warm tones were the mandate for this kitchen that served as the hub of the open floor plan modern home. The stainless steel appliances and gold toned pendants, backsplash, and seating are tied together by the marble which has both gray and sienna hues. The custom hood and stainless horizontal feature added interest. This kitchen is also equiped with the latest appliance technology and heated floors for function and comfort.
