Custom Surface Solutions (www.css-tile.com) - Owner Craig Thompson (512) 430-1215. This project shows the remodel of a small 1950's vintage home master bathroom. 8"" x 18" Calcutta gold marble tile was used on the shower walls and floor wall base and ceramic gray penny tile on the floor. Shower includes curbless pan / floor, dual shower boxes, frameless glass slider, trough duel fixture sink and chrome fixtures.

Large walk-in Master Closet in West LA. This closet in white has it all: decorative drawers, glass doors, specialty glass knobs, crown molding, decorative base molding, 2 double tilt out hampers, 2 jewelry drawers with locks, belt/tie full extensions racks, full extension valet rod, shoe shelves, and a bench with a push latch front panel door.

The finishing touch: don’t forget the pets! Synergy Design & Construction bought this matching dog bowl as a gift for the family dog. It fits perfectly at the Screen Porch door. The exterior door leading to the Screen Porch was replaced with a Jeld-Wen "Smooth-Pro" fiberglass door with Schlage "Bowery" hardware in aged bronze for an updated look.

Our clients desired an organic and airy look for their kitchen and living room areas. Our team began by painting the entire home a creamy white and installing all new white oak floors throughout. The former dark wood kitchen cabinets were removed to make room for the new light wood and white kitchen. The clients originally requested an "all white" kitchen, but the designer suggested bringing in light wood accents to give the kitchen some additional contrast. The wood ceiling cloud helps to anchor the space and echoes the new wood ceiling beams in the adjacent living area. To further incorporate the wood into the design, the designer framed each cabinetry wall with white oak "frames" that coordinate with the wood flooring. Woven barstools, textural throw pillows and olive trees complete the organic look. The original large fireplace stones were replaced with a linear ripple effect stone tile to add modern texture. Cozy accents and a few additional furniture pieces were added to the clients existing sectional sofa and chairs to round out the casually sophisticated space.

This project shows a new construction guest bathroom with 12" x 24" Valentino gray tile using offset subway layout pattern for the tub surround and vanity wall from floor to ceiling (9 ft.). Floor tile is 3" x 9" Valentino gray tile using herring bone / chevron layout pattern. Floor also includes tile base. All exposed edges including windows, shower walls, and floor base are custom bull-nose profiled.

This glass block wall was prefabricated in sections and then installed on the site to save time and money. The waterproof ready for tile base was custom designed to fit this glass block wall.

This homeowner had a choice of 52 different colored glass blocks to help pull the colors of this bathroom together. They chose 3 colors - seafoam, pinot noir and cinnamon.

Custom Condo Entryway Cabinetry | Luxury Inset Storage Design Designed for a luxury condo entryway, this custom handcrafted Amish-built inset cabinetry piece was created to bring elegance, organization, and architectural presence to what is often an overlooked transition space. The goal was to make the entry feel intentional and elevated while discreetly integrating everyday functional storage. Finished in Sherwin-Williams Pure White with refined flush inset construction, the cabinetry was designed with a furniture-inspired appearance that complements the sophisticated aesthetic of the residence. Decorative cove recessed panel doors, detailed rails and stiles, integrated toe detailing, crown molding, and decorative base molding create a highly tailored built-in look that feels seamlessly integrated into the architecture of the condo. The centerpiece arched niche adds softness and visual interest while creating a welcoming focal point upon entering the home. The niche was finished with luminous mother-of-pearl mosaic tile and integrated LED lighting, adding texture, warmth, and subtle luxury to the space. Functionality was equally important in the design. The cabinetry incorporates hidden utility storage for coats, pet supplies, water bottles, and everyday essentials, allowing the homeowners to maintain a clean and uncluttered entry. Decorative white grasscloth-style inserts within the doors add texture and warmth while keeping the palette soft and sophisticated. Custom storage features include internal hooks, roll-out trays, utility organization, deep drawer storage, and integrated cabinetry solutions designed specifically around the clients’ daily routines and lifestyle needs. Every detail was carefully considered to maximize storage while maintaining a refined furniture-quality aesthetic. Warm brass hardware complements the soft white cabinetry and enhances the timeless coastal transitional character of the design. The result is an elegant entry feature that feels both highly functional and quietly luxurious — blending handcrafted Amish cabinetry with custom organizational design tailored specifically for condo living. Features include: Handcrafted Amish-built inset cabinetry Flush inset cabinet construction Decorative cove recessed panel doors Sherwin-Williams Pure White finish Custom condo entryway built-in Mother-of-pearl mosaic tile niche Integrated LED lighting Decorative arched niche detail Grasscloth-style door inserts Custom coat closet storage Hidden pet storage organization Water bottle and utility storage Internal hooks and roll-out trays Furniture-style cabinetry detailing Warm brass hardware Decorative crown and base molding Luxury condo storage solution Custom entryway organization Coastal transitional design aesthetic High-end custom cabinetry Designed by Dwelloquent | Kitchen & Bath Design + Custom Cabinetry | Florida Treasure Coast & Remote Design Services

  Free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW   One of my very favorite parts of the design process is space planning and considering all the possible floor plan solutions at the beginning stages of the project. What works for one person as a solution may not be the best solution for the next. What you think you want going into the process, may change once all the space planning options are considered. This was exactly the case for this family. They thought they really wanted an island configuration. Once we figured out the flow of the work triangle and saw how great a large peninsula would work for the family, we proceeded along those lines. The peninsula not only works great for food prep, it also allows more of a traditional table seating versus an island with everyone lined up in a row — not so great for daily dinner conversation. To the right of that is a counter depth fridge and a speed oven which gives some flexibility with cooking and reheating smaller meals instead of having to heat the entire oven. An induction cooktop with its easy to clean surface keeps the space looking clean and tidy. Induction heats very quickly to high temperatures so is also wonderful to cook on. To the right of cooktop is a long stretch of countertop perfect for prep space. Storage was very important to the homeowners. We took our time discussing where spice pull outs and tray dividers would be located, how the corner storage would be addressed and the location of the other items such as trash and recycling cans. We worked as many drawers as possible into the space, as I always recommend drawers over doors and/or roll outs as they offer the most flexibility and ease of use. Customizing these details is time well spent as having a place for everything and everything in its place, just like Mom said, really is the key to a functional and professionally designed kitchen. The talls and wall cabinets are white acrylic which combined with the white marble look quartz countertops and full height backsplash keep the room feeling light, bright and airy. The wood toned base cabinets are made of a textured laminate that has the look of wood but is a very easy to maintain product. Brushed gold metal on the hardware, faucet and chandelier add a warm touch and ties into the blond maple flooring. The neighboring breakfast room was also remodeled as part of the project and houses a small coffee station.
