Inspiration for a mid-sized modern u-shaped dark wood floor eat-in kitchen remodel in Miami with a double-bowl sink, flat-panel cabinets, light wood cabinets, solid surface countertops, gray backsplash, stone tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances and an island

Romain blinds can be ordered with a flat design to reduce the chances of the fabric getting into the way while using the kitchen sink. Whether motorized or cord lift, they can easily be lifted out of the way to reduce splashing. A fantastic window covering that can compliment any kitchen design.

This project involved converting a partially finished basement into an ultimate media room with an English pub. The family is big on entertaining and enjoys watching movies and college football. It was important to combine the media area with the pub to create options for guests within the same space. Although the home has a full sized basement the staircase was centrally located, which made it difficult for special configuration. As a result, we were able to work with the existing plan be designing a media area large enough for a sectional sofa and additional seating with the English pub at the far end of the room. The home owner had a projection screen on a bare wall with the electrical components stacked on boxes. The new plan involved installing new cabinets to accommodate components and surround the screen to give it a built-in finish. Open shelving also allows the homeowner to feature some of their collectible sports memorabilia. As if the 130 inch projection screen wasn’t large enough, the surround sound system makes you feel like you are part of the action. It is as close to the I MAX viewing experience as you are going to get in a home. Sound-deadening insulation was installed in the ceiling and walls to prevent noise from penetrating the second floor. The design of the pub was inspired by the home owner’s favorite local pub, Brazenhead. The bar countertop with lift-top entrance was custom built by our carpenters to simulate aged wood. The finish looks rough, but it is smooth enough to wipe down easily. The top encloses the bar and provides seating for guests. A TV at the bar allows guest to follow along with the game on the big screen or tune into another game. The game table provides even another option for entertainment in the media room. Stacked stone with thick mortar joints was installed on the face of the bar and to an opposite wall containing the entrance to a wine room. Hand scrapped hardwood floors were installed in the pub portion of the media room to provide yet another touch to “Brazenhead” their own pub. The wet bar is under a soffit area that continues into the media area due to existing duct work. We wanted to creatively find a way to separate the two spaces. Adding trim on the ceiling and front of soffit at the bar defined the area and made a great transition from the drywall soffit to the wet bar. A tin ceiling was installed which added to the ambience of the pub wet bar and further aided in defining the soffit as an intentional part of the design. Custom built wainscoting borders the perimeter of the media room. The end result allows the client to comfortably entertain in a space designed just for them.

In addition to the curbless master shower, this customer also wanted to be able to walk out on their beautiful back porch and not have to encounter any steps. This is just another aging-in-place feature we can easily add to our customer's custom home. Home was built by and pictures taken by Mark of Action Builders Inc.

The working side of the island keeps everyday appliances low and out of sight. A built-in microwave drawer slides out at a comfortable height, which kids and guests can reach easily. Raised-panel drawers with champagne gold pulls fill the rest of the run, and the lit coffee hutch glows in the corner beyond.

The tall pantry cabinet on the left is home to the toaster and soda stream. The electrician added an outlet inside the cabinet so the appliances can be used easily while being hidden and off of the counter when not in use.

The slate tile allows for sandy feet and crumbs to be easily cleaned so the party can move easily between outdoors and indoors. Facing the south, the lakeside windows provide for expanses of daylight. The built-in media room (beyond) provides a great place for game-day or movie night activities.

Living room - small transitional open concept dark wood floor and brown floor living room idea in Nashville with white walls and no tv

Emmett transforms a traditional, turn-of-the-century iron bed design into a statement-making minimalist and modern bed. Inspired by a classic slatted design, Emmett’s minimalist steel frame has a taller, leaner headboard, a footboard with a single, horizontal bar, and steel slats that support a standard or ultra-low foundation and mattress. Its clean-cut, architectural metal bed silhouette belongs at the heart of any retreat; it can live just as easily in a loft as it can in a ranch house.

Peter Rymwid Architectural Photography Once a small bedroom for a governess, now creatively converted to "Le Petit Pantry de Plumberry" Just steps away from the Master Bedroom, Dressing Area and Atrium lies a pantry like no other! A small, yet fully functional kitchen capable of fulfilling any request or appetite! The cherry cabinetry is finished in a beautiful French blue-grey striate with accents of walnut and adorned with polished nickel and crystal glass knobs. The extraordinary white Calacatta Romano marble countertops are reflected in the hand cut marble mosaics extending the full height of the wall providing a breathtaking moment upon entering this room. A quick cup of fresh hot coffee, espresso or cappuccino is easily accessible as Monsieur dresses for the start of his business day. Maybe he has time to sit at the marble peninsula and enjoy the view and the fireplace as he reads the morning paper and listens to the stock and traffic news. The refrigerator is elegantly camouflaged as an antique mirrored armoire. Inside is an undisclosed amount of cookie dough that serves to cure Madame's fervor for fresh shortbreads with her afternoon tea or a quick snack for the little one's playing in the Atrium. Simply place a few dollops of dough and place in the speed oven for just several minutes and voila. Monsieur loves to prepare a full breakfast for his d'amour as they lounge in their chambers on a lazy morning, along with hot baked croissants, frothing lattes, and fresh berries and cream. Everything he needs is just within reach...a fully stocked refrigerator, induction cooktop, speed oven and concealed dishwasher to provide an easy clean up.
