The owners of this 1950s colonial on Philadelphia’s Main Line wanted to preserve its traditional architecture and take advantage of the kitchen’s ample footprint. In addition to reworking the floorplan and improving the flow, the owner wanted a large island with several seating options, a desk area and a small table for dining. One of the design goals was to transform the spacious room into a functional kitchen that still felt intimate and comfortable for everyday use. Furniture style inset cabinetry kept the room in tune with the home’s original character and made it feel less utilitarian. Removing the wall that hindered the flow and views between the kitchen and the adjacent family room ensured that the main entertaining areas flowed together. Stylistically, we wanted to avoid the typical white kitchen, opting instead to pull in rich wood tones to create a warmer and more classic look.

Kitchen renovation featured on HGTV 's House Hunters Renovation "Type A Reno". The original kitchen had an angled wall where the pantry currently is and that made it difficult to maximize storage. We had the pantry section custom made to fit the angle of the wall and it houses double the storage that the original upper section used to. The finishes are classic with modern touches throughout such as the overscaled pendant lights over the island and the full wall of mosaic backsplash. White kitchens will always be a popular choice and you can go wrong if you stick with classics. Shaker cabinet door with a added door detail, so it's not your typical Shaker. The island was custom made with raised panel details and a gray wash stain. We mixed gold and black hardware to add character to the space.

This charming top-floor retreat features beautifully restored original oak hardwood flooring that brings warmth and character to the space, complemented by crisp white shiplap walls and a distinctive sloped ceiling typical of top floor rooms. A rustic barn-style door adds an authentic touch, while an elegant, golden semi-flush mount light creates a perfect focal point that enhances the room's bright, airy atmosphere. The carefully restored hardwood floors showcase the home's original craftsmanship and help create a versatile and inviting space ready to be personalized as a cozy bedroom, creative studio, or comfortable sitting area.

This gorgeous wide plank antique Oak is our most requested floor! With dramatic widths ranging from 6 to 12 inches (14 inches in some cases), you can easily bring an old-world charm into your home. This product comes to you completely pre-finished and ready to install. We start by hand sanding the surface, beveling the edges ever so slightly, and being careful to preserve the historical integrity of the planks. Typically, about 80% of your flooring will be "Smooth" with the remaining 20% having a slight texture from the original saw kerfs. This material will also have nail holes, knots, and checks which only adds to the unique character. Next, we apply Waterlox, a tung oil based sealant with or without stain added. Finally, 3 coats of Vermont Polywhey finish are added with a hand buffing between coats. The result is a luxurious satiny finish that you can only get from Historic Flooring!

We love this Panettone Terrazzo backsplash project by Marble Trend! This Panettone Terrazzo sink backsplash is a delightful blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal. The backsplash is crafted from terrazzo, a composite material typically made from marble, and is known for its durability and unique speckled appearance. Panettone Terrazzo features soft hues of golden brown, creamy whites, and hints of candied fruit colors like orange, red, and green scattered throughout the material. The Panettone Terrazzo backsplash would frame a sleek sink, perhaps in a complementary neutral tone like matte black or brushed stainless steel as you see here! The overall effect and contemporary design, add warmth and character to any kitchen space.

Bonsai trees and a small Japanese-style roof garden further emphasise the oriental character of the apartment, while traditional woven carpets point to Ukrainian craft and culture. The rustic interior of the penthouse stands in deep contrast with the concrete landscape of the city. All the walls in the apartment are finished with clay, and oak beams in the living room give the space a typical appearance of Japanese homes whilst the vases of Cucuteni-Trypillian culture represent Ukraine.

A half-bath includes only a toilet and sink with no bathing facilities. It’s typically used by guests and is located near public and entertaining areas on the first floor of a residence. The half-bath location is not close to bedrooms or the family areas of a home to preserve privacy.

This landscape is filled with tropical plants, bushes, flowers, and palms. The full landscape adds shade to the walkways and still allows the "full sun" plants to flourish. The garden beds have unique specimens placed throughout which add character to the landscape.
