This is an example of a tropical landscaping in San Francisco.

Fresh Contemporary Kitchen in Warrington, PA This beautiful kitchen was part of an entire first floor remodel, where this creative homeowner had a very specific style in mind: clean lines, light tones, and contemporary everything. This strong aesthetic was emboldened with an over-sized island, shaker cabinets, and statement fixtures. And, because no kitchen is complete without a coffee station, floating shelves and soft seating in the en suite cafe bring the space full circle. Design and Construction by Meridian.

In this kitchen up in Desert Mountain, we provided all of the cabinetry, countertops and backsplash to create the Mid Century Modern style for our clients remodel. The transformation is substantial compared to the size and layout it was before, making it more linear and doubling in size. For the perimeter we have white skinny shaker cabinetry with pops of Hickory wood to add some warmth and a seamless countertop backsplash. The island features painted black cabinetry with the skinny shaker style for some contrast and is over 14' long with enough seating for 8 people. In the fireplace bar area, we have also the black cabinetry with a fun pop of color for the backsplash tile along with honed black granite countertops. The selection choices of painted cabinetry, wood tones, gold metals, concrete flooring and furniture selections carry the style throughout and brings in great texture, contrast and warmth.

Like a lot of people, my Toano project clients found that after months of being home due to Covid precautions, they were ready to do something different with their space! Having spent hours online, looking at various designs, they had a lot of great ideas when they approached us in the spring of 2021 to help with the design and renovation of their kitchen, guest bath and master bath. Partnering with Van Fleet contractors, we were able to transform what was a nice but dated space into something new and fresh! Today, we are walking you through the “before” and “after” of the Toano Project kitchen reveal! I have to say, that this reveal is probably our most dramatic yet.

I always love when a client says “do what you think”. I had the best time designing this beach house for another adorable family. When I learned the homes history and the families Greek heritage, my brain entered Mykonos mode. They agreed and let me run with it. Both floors of the home went thru some major overhaul (pictures to come). Luckily I had a dream of a contractor and some magical tradespeople to work with. Not the quickest reno but I’ve learned in this business, nothing pretty comes easy or fast.

Mixed materials, yes please!! Rift-cut white oak, "Snow", "Acacia Haze", "Rocky River" painted cabinets, showcased in this image, as well as the integrated door that leads to scullery kitchen/walk-in pantry. GE Cafe appliances, Induction Cooktop, ice maker with custom panel, Advantium and Convection Ovens, and a hood ducted to the outside! Floating shelves for display with integrated LED lights show off the beautiful 18" high full-height splash, capped with a matching 5" deep ledge, with tile to the ceiling. There is no rest for the pot filler as it doubles as a coffee machine filler. The simplistic box style hood was designed to purposefully provide a beautiful backdrop for the "North Star" chandelier over the island.
