Example of a mid-sized transitional kitchen design in Los Angeles with shaker cabinets, white cabinets, marble countertops, gray backsplash, subway tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances

"Builder Beige" new construction. This guest bath came with bare white cabinets, grey walls and basic frame less square mirror with vanity light over the mirror. I added this black oversize picket tile back splash with charcoal/black grout. I replaced the builder grade mirror with a round metal framed one. We changed the lighting by, removing the light above the mirror and added two sconces, one on each side. For the final touch, I added the black hardware, to ensure the white cabinets remain white for as long as possible. Cabinets without hardware tend to get dirty quicker, because the doors pick up the oils from our hands. I wanted to avoid that for as long as possible. The water closet came with this out-swing shower door. The space was extremely tight for the smallest of people, so for anyone of any size would feel closed in. So, I switched out the builder grade out-swing shower door with a semi-frame-less sliding shower door. This allows for more room to move around, opening the space up just a tad.

A grand staircase built from natural flagstone with stainless steel railings was built to lead down to the pool from the patio connected to the back of the house. All other hardscape flooring and edging around the pool was built from the same natural flagstone. There is a hidden hot tub surrounded by the staircase, as well as fountain jets that shoot into the pool from the middle of the stairwell wall.

Traditional "builder beige" or in this case "builder greige", new construction master bath, before. This bath had the following builder basics: vanity lighting, mirrors, paint and raised panel cabinet fronts. While the lighting, mirror and cabinet fronts were builder grade. The counter tops, sinks, fixtures and flooring were all upgraded, before we took on the challenge of upgrading the rest of the space. We had the vanity wall skimmed to remove the texture to allow for the install of this great black & white Peonies wallpaper on the back-splash. We added the stag head to bring a balance of hardness to softness of the wallpaper. We added the wood and black metal framed hardware to add some more color and texture to the space. We replaced the builder grade mirror with oversized individual mirrors, hung vertically over each sink. For the shower we went with a 3" x 16" white subway tile and it was important to add a niche for all the shower essentials.

So, we decided to go for 8 foot doors and had them painted black. With ceiling this high the standard 6' 8" height doors would've looked a little odd. the 8 foot doors add a little drama to the space.
