Moda Kitchen and Bath*Layout and Spatial Arrangement:*
The layout maximizes the available space, creating an open and airy atmosphere. The free-standing tub becomes a focal point, strategically placed to offer a sense of luxury and relaxation. The custom glass shower enclosure contributes to the open feel, allowing natural light to permeate the space.
*Color Scheme:*
A neutral color palette dominates the design, with shades of white, gray, and beige creating a timeless and sophisticated ambiance. The introduction of a modern champagne bronze finish for fixtures adds a touch of warmth and elegance to the overall look.
*Flooring and Wall Finishes:*
Large-format tiles with a polished finish cover the bathroom floor, providing a seamless and easy-to-maintain surface. The walls may feature a combination of tiles and perhaps a feature wall with a textured or patterned finish to add visual interest.
*Fixtures and Cabinetry:*
The centerpiece is a freestanding bathtub with clean lines, possibly positioned near a large window to capitalize on natural light.

Michael Nash Design, Build & Homes2013 NARI CAPITAL COTY, MERIT AWARD WINNER, RESIDENTIAL KITCHEN $40,001 to $80,000
Built in 1990, this colonial used builder-grade products from floor to ceiling. The original kitchen used inexpensive oak cabinets, laminated countertops and vinyl flooring. An oddly positioned pantry affected the traffic flow of the entire space and a large wall separated the kitchen from the family room. The homeowners were ready for an upgrade.
First, a structural beam replaced the wall between the kitchen and family room. It was replaced with a double-sided cabinet, which opened up the design considerably. On the kitchen side, it is a cappuccino bar with beverage center, coffee maker and bar sink. The other side features glass display cabinetry.
The old pantry closet was torn out and all plumbing stacks behind was relocated which allowed the placement of a 48” refrigerator/freezer. Next to it is the focal point of the room: a 48” gas range topped by a custom-made copper range hood. A beautiful tile backsplash follows the room’s wall around to a copper farmer’s sink.
Carefully chosen cherry wood cabinetry with a sage stain complements a light colored quartz countertop. A 4’x 12’ espresso stained island was installed to allow large gathering and serves as a casual eating place for their daily use. Custom made, high end heart-of-cherry wood planks were installed throughout the first floor.
This new era of ranch-style cabinetry, wood floor and rustic hood, sink and other little accent pieces made this project one to stand alone.

Interiors by NatashaThis house was a new purchase for my clients. I was entrusted with the task to make this 1980’s kitchen into a beautiful chef’s kitchen. The challenge with this kitchen renovation was making sure that I gave my client, a kitchen that a pastry chef would be proud to bake in. Because she is a pastry chef, the original space was not functional for her. It was dark, dated and did not have enough storage. The cabinets were an old traditional expresso finish, small electric drop-in cooktop, and double wall oven with florescent ceiling light fixtures. I wanted to make sure that I capitalized on the square footage in the kitchen and gave them a more Contemporary Style. The first thing, I had to address was the damaged floor. One of the selling points to the house for my clients was the hardwood floors but, a portion of the floor in the kitchen was rotted by years of water decay. We replaced the hardwood floors that were damaged and refinished them. The second, was to open the entryway between the kitchen and dining room and swapping the refrigerator and the pantry. The contractor demoed the kitchen changing the position of the original pantry and the refrigerator. By doing this, provided more floor space for my clients to walk through. The third, was to address the dark cabinet finish. We went with two-tone color cabinetry. The wall and base cabinets are white and the island is a gray finish. As a pastry chef, I had to make sure my client had enough countertop/prep and storage space. The fourth, was very important to her which was replacing the drop-in electric cooktop with a freestanding professional gas range. After addressing these four concerns, my clients are very pleased with the renovation. Happy clients!
