Kitchen remodeling project where the homeowners wanted to give their kitchen an updated modern look. We started by removing the soffits so that the new cabinets could be installed to the ceiling. The new cabinets are from the Kitchen Solvers Classic Collection line done in a Mission door in Classic White with new brushed pewter handles. Next, we installed a new high definition laminate countertop in spring carnival and a 3x6 gray subway tile backsplash. To complete the new look we added a new undermount gray quartz sink.

In this backyard space, the design challenge was to bring the essence of the California Mountains to Redondo Beach. As this client is an avid outdoorsman, he wanted to bring the a feel of the Sierra Nevada mountains, his happy place, home to create his very own backyard mountain retreat. Our team sourced materials that one would find in the mountains of California whilst keeping a lounge feel in mind for the secondary design criteria, a retreat. In this retreat, we created four distinct areas: the lounging area with covered pergola, fire pit area with built-in seating bench and overhead trellis complete with carnival lighting, central waterfall, and barbeque area with picnic table and overhead carnival lighting. We built a 10” x 10” rugged pergola was built out of sustainably sourced pine. The massive posts feel as though large pine trees were harvested right out of the California Mountains and crafted right on-site. The pergola was built with a retractable shade cloth so the sun can be let in for warmth in open during the colder months. The pergola and the other hard-scaped areas in the backyard were covered with a mix of gray granite and charcoal pavers. This color selection is reminiscent of the colors in California granite. Walking north from the pergola toward the fire pit area there is a mass planting of deer grasses, assortment of ferns and California coffee berries planted to mimic California Chaparral. At the other edge of this chaparral garden, sits the Cresta Boulder fire pit. Boulders were used to create this fire pit to harness the feeling of being outdoors in the wilderness. The boulders were locally sourced out of the Sierra Nevada mountain range for authenticity. In order to frame the space we installed a trellis and off the trellis runs carnival lights for night time parties. Just beyond the fire pit sits a granite boulder water fall. The waterfall is placed so that wherever you are in the yard you can see and hear the tranquil sounds of the babbling water as it circulates and recycles. The barbeque area is nestled against the backdrop of a dark green fernleaf podocarpus hedge. During the day, birds and butterflies traverse the native foliage and at night the sounds of the fire pit dance in harmony with the gentle sounds of water falling down granite pebbles making this backyard a true retreat from the chaotic noise of the city.

Lyndsey Kampen- Kitchen Designer Wisconsin Building Supply, Onalaska, WI The St. Augustine door style from Dura Supreme cabinetry transformed this kitchen into a warm inviting gathering place for friends and family. Storage was a top priority for this small kitchen, therefore many of the cabinets offer a hidden storage gem- two tiered wood cutlery tray, base recycle cabinet, tray divider, base swing up mixer shelf, roll out shelves a tall pantry and a lazy susan. The peninsula offers seating for two and allows guests to visit with the chef. Luxury vinyl tile was used on the floor and a Wilsonart HD Laminate countertop in Summer Carnival with a stainless steel under-mount sink amps up the high end feel without breaking the bank especially when topped off with the applied edge profile that allowed all sides of the peninsula to be receive that beautiful cascade edge.
