Custom Kitchen Remodel: Blending Craftsmanship and Functionality This kitchen renovation was all about creating a space that feels open, welcoming, and tailored to the homeowners’ vision. Working alongside the client, who led the interior design, Greenleaf reimagined the layout for better flow and connection to the surrounding living spaces. To maximize functionality and openness, we removed the wall between the kitchen and dining area and relocated the kitchen to the other side of the house. This new layout allows for easier movement, better use of space, and a more natural connection between rooms. Details That Make a Difference Custom cabinetry by Unique Kitchens and Baths, featuring inset doors and drawers finished in three complementary tones A freestanding, furniture-style island with a contrasting countertop to anchor the space A handcrafted plaster range hood, framed by carefully placed wall sconces for a warm, inviting glow Backsplash tile that extends all the way to the ceiling, adding texture and making clean-up a breeze Pot filler and instant hot water dispenser for everyday convenience Bringing the Outdoors In The kitchen and dining areas now benefit from new Marvin Ultimate windows, along with a newly created door opening through brick that features Marvin Ultimate French doors. These upgrades bring in abundant natural light and create a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. A Kitchen Designed to Be Lived In From custom cabinetry to thoughtful design details, every element of this renovation reflects our commitment to creating spaces that feel as good as they look. By collaborating closely with the client and their design vision, we were able to build a kitchen that’s equal parts beautiful and highly functional—ready for gatherings, everyday meals, and everything in between.

Mid-century modern–inspired finishes are carried throughout the condo. A combination of light oak and dark natural walnut creates a warm, seamless foundation, while high-contrast black-and-white accents add visual interest. Complementary bronze and gold details complete the palette, tying the entire space together with a cohesive, contemporary feel.

Spectacular hammered fire bowl enclosed in beautifully crafted black iron trim. Installing it inside a complementary water feature really helped to create the ultimate patio living experience.

2013 NARI CAPITAL COTY, FINALIST AWARD WINNER, RESIDENTIAL BATH UNDER $30,000 A colonial home recently built in the suburb of Leesburg had a run of the mill 10’x11’ bathroom connected to the seating room of the master suite. The clients disliked both the builder grade soaking tub and small shower, in fact, preferring to sacrifice the tub for a much bigger spa-like shower stall. In general, they wanted more space and more storage. To increase the footprint for the remodel, a decision was made to “steal” some space from the seating room. The new layout features a large, walk-in shower with a frameless glass enclosure. A rain shower, body sprays and bench seating meet all of the homeowners’ desires. Large linen cabinets surround a large new vanity, touting a granite top, vessel sinks and wall-mounted faucets. Mirrored, embedded medicine cabinets are wrapped in glass tile and illuminated by hanging lights. The opposite wall features floating dressing cabinets which serve as a new make-up area. Smart use of lighting, such as pendants, sconces, and recess lights has made the space brighter than ever. Designers at Michael Nash Design, Build & Homes used large, light color porcelain tiles and enhanced the look with complementary glass tiles on accents walls, niches and other areas.

This modern Scandinavian kitchen features frameless slab cabinetry that centers the focus on warm-toned wood and complementary white cabinets. Ample storage and countertop space, a coffee nook, and open shelving really bring this kitchen to life.

Sip into Style: Maple Latte Remodel Kitchens are often the centerpiece of our homes, a place where culinary creativity meets family gatherings. Yet, many kitchens fall victim to outdated designs and worn-out finishes. If you’re feeling uninspired by your current space, it’s time to consider a remodel that can elevate your kitchen from drab to fab. Let’s explore how we transformed this client’s kitchen into a posh, stylish retreat that featured a combination of stunning materials and thoughtful design choices that truly elevated the space. Creating an Open Concept One of the most significant changes anyone can make in a home remodel is to modify or remove walls. Even though there were two points of entry into this client’s kitchen, the space was closed off. Opening up the wall instantly created a more open and inviting layout that allowed for the installation of a large island. Eliminating the barrier between the kitchen and the adjacent living area, provides a seamless flow that is perfect for entertaining guests or simply keeping an eye on the kids while cooking dinner. A Showstopping Island At the heart of this kitchen remodel is an expansive 9 ft. island, designed to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The island features a stunning White Pearl natural quartzite countertop that radiates elegance. With its unique veining and shimmering finish, this stone serves as a beautiful focal point and adds a touch of luxury to the space. A beverage cooler and dishwasher are tucked underneath, concealed from the view of the living area. Three 12” deep and 36” wide cabinets line the front of the island providing additional hidden storage. This multifunctional design makes the island an essential part of daily life in the kitchen, making it a cozy spot for casual dining or morning coffee. Complementary Perimeter Countertops To enhance the overall look, the perimeter countertops are topped with Silestone Eternal Charcoal. This material offers a striking contrast to the lighter island, featuring rich, dark hues that ground the space and create depth. The durability and easy maintenance of Silestone make it an ideal choice for busy kitchens, ensuring that the surfaces remain beautiful and functional for years to come. Beautiful Cabinetry The cabinetry in this remodel plays a pivotal role in both style and storage. We opted for Waypoint Cabinetry in a Maple Latte finish, which adds warmth and sophistication to the kitchen. The soft, neutral tones of the cabinetry complement the countertops beautifully and create a cohesive look throughout the space. The cabinets are thoughtfully designed to provide ample storage, with pull-out shelves and organizers that maximize accessibility. Finishing Touches No remodel is complete without the right finishing touches. We chose sleek, modern matte black Top Knobs hardware that enhances the cabinetry's clean lines while adding a touch of contemporary flair. The 2 ½” x 10” San Marcos Tortora stylish backsplash tile, a striking black hood with brushed gold accents and brushed gold large pendant lighting tie together the colors and textures of the room, adding visual interest. The Result: A Dream Kitchen The result of this kitchen remodel is nothing short of spectacular. The combination of the open layout, stunning island, and thoughtful materials creates a space that is both functional and beautiful. Whether you’re considering a full kitchen remodel or simply looking for inspiration, this project highlights the transformative power of thoughtful design and quality materials.

This beautiful Brentwood home needed help in the kitchen, so we took out outdated kitchen cabinets and set up a paint booth to to spray all drawers and cabinets to give them a manufacturer's finish. We used Sherwin Williams pro classic semi gloss trim, added a new, darker wall color for the dining area and surrounding areas. The fresh cabinets and new complementary beige color on the walls turned it into a bright, modern kitchen.

Butler Heritage Two Drawer Chest in Blue This dazzling two-drawer chest is a remarkable feat of design and craftsmanship. Painstakingly handcrafted from wood solids and wood products, it features bone inlays formed and shaped in a vine pattern, with complementary drawer pulls and carved leg braces, against a blue colored background. Variations in bone inlay are not uncommon, and are provide character from one piece to the next.

Custom cabinetry provides extra storage without crowding a beautiful sun filled open floor plan at this Upper West Side apartment. A pair of hidden panels which provide shallow storage for glassware flank this dining room unit. The beauty & quality of the furniture is emphasized by a solid white oak frame and matching solid white oak counters. Opposite is a complementary living room unit composed of simple floating shelves flanking a centrally located custom built-in cartridge firebox, TV and entertainment unit.

A complete remodel of this entire home provided the flow and functionality our clients hoped for, within a space that befittingly showcased their favourite artwork and unique elements of personal self-expression. An artistic spirit is apparent throughout the home as complementary tones of blues, greys, and whites reflect and enhance the ethereal worlds depicted in their cherished art collection. Art is just one of the passions of this family, who also required a kitchen suited to their love of cooking. Vast counter space with high-end finishes and substantial storage in the form of elegant cabinetry frame the centrepiece – a beautifully anachronistic oven imported from France. With its pastel cerulean colour, the range draws the eye and evokes the homeowners’ artistic sensibilities. Similar pops of blue infuse the rest of the home with this cool worldliness, from the refinished bathroom with its walk-in closet, to the décor surrounding the stonework fireplace. This domestic composition is one which could surely fit in alongside our clients’ collection.

The Kitchen was carefully laid out to meet the needs of this Kosher client, with two sinks, two dishwashers, and separated areas for meat and dairy preparation. Base cabinets were done in a grey-blue glaze with a light white wash on top, to pick up the client's desire for an overall blue theme to the Kitchen. The wall cabinets were done in white, for a lighter, brighter feel, and the appliance/pantry wall was done in a complementary light gray to differentiate the circulation/social space from the work area.

Designed by The Kitchen Source and Heritage Design Studio, this English Arts and Crafts inspired kitchen was created to feel like the English countryside. Located in Texas, the open plan home combines the kitchen with an informal seating area for guests to chat with the cook, in addition to a bright and airy breakfast room off the left, and a formal dining room off the right. The kitchen is a masterpiece of design, utilizing a combination of Wood-Mode door styles - Colony Recessed, Edgemont Recessed, and Lancaster Recessed – in complementary English-inspired colors of Pale Spring and Vintage Cadet Blue. No detail was overlooked from hand-hewn beams to custom-made solid wood countertops, and custom appliance panels with diamond shaped Gothic mullion inserts. And the details aren’t simply superficial. Behind every drawer and cabinet door hides organizational extras such as a peg drawer to hold dishware; Walnut adjustable drawer partitions and cutlery dividers; and integrated lighting within drawers and cabinets and under-cabinet and wall cabinet integrated lighting makes it easy to find whatever cooking essential is needed.

The home had a paver patio with a pergola. They wanted something simple with clean finishes as well as a Jacuzzi. We removed the old pavers and put down 16 X 24 travertine classic ivory tiles. Tying into the roof and incorporating the breezeway, we added a 900 SF patio cover. The center section has a vaulted ceiling and a gable roof. We dropped the Jacuzzi into the ground 2 feet and added composite decking around it. The ceiling finish is hardie that has been painted to match the home with columns and beams that are also wrapped in hardie and painted with a complementary trim color. We installed gas lanterns and indirect lighting on the seat wall. TK IMAGES

I am extremely pleased with the results of the remarkable renovation of our master bathroom and closet. The layout was thoughtfully reconfigured to include a walk-in shower featuring elegant glass doors. We adorned the bathroom walls with striking emerald green tiles and applied a complementary green plaster finish. A wall-mounted Kohler toilet was installed, harmonizing beautifully with the floating vanity. The addition of chrome bathroom fixtures provided the ideal finishing touch. I would also like to extend my gratitude to our carpenters for their exceptional work on the custom closet.

On the kitchen island you'll find Cambria Bradshaw combined with Cambria Ramsey quartz countertops. The light swirls of taupe in the Bradshaw makes Ramsey the perfect complementary design. The beauty of Cambria continues to flow through this home as you will see Cambria Canterbury, Halstead, and Clyde on three vanities; Cambria Laneshaw on the fireplace surround and Hollinsbrook for the lower level wetbar. In the laundry room we used Wilsonart "Mountain Passage" laminate countertops.

Similar to many of my projects, the main objectives for this Royal Oaks garden design were that it not use a lot of water or take a lot of time to maintain. This farming family is busy and wanted a beautiful garden to match their beautiful home. The result was a particularly stunning complementary color scheme with multiple shades of purple and lilac, along with orange, rust and yellow. Low-growing, mounding ground covers prevent weeds from recurring and are interspersed with fountain-like grasses, architectural cordylines, leucadendrons, and boulders. The back garden frames a view of the Watsonville farmlands and distant Santa Cruz Mountains. Couldn't be prettier!
