*Kitchen Remodel in Southwest Austin: A Modern Transformation by Jane Reece Interiors* At Jane Reece Interiors (JRI), we believe that every kitchen should reflect the homeowner's personality while offering a functional, modern design. Our recent kitchen remodel in Southwest Austin perfectly embodies this philosophy, as we took an outdated oak kitchen and gave it a striking new look while maintaining some of its original charm. *Preserving the Classic, Enhancing the Modern* The original oak cabinets were a staple of this kitchen’s design, so rather than replacing them, we chose to breathe new life into them with Sherwin Williams' Caviar (SW 6990). This rich, sophisticated black not only modernized the cabinetry but set the tone for the entire kitchen. The deep hue created a stunning contrast with the fluted glass we used to replace the dated glass inserts. The fluted glass pulls back on the design element we incorporated throughout the space—fluted wood, adding texture and elegance. *Fluted Wood Details: A Signature Touch* The fluted wood became a defining design element in this remodel. To bring a sense of cohesion, we added fluted wood in several areas: - *Custom Vent Hood:* We designed a curved wrap around the vent hood with fluted wood, making it a focal point of the kitchen. - *Above-Cabinet Finishing:* In the empty space above the cabinets, the same fluted wood extends all the way to the ceiling, adding height and sophistication. - *Island Design:* The island’s front is also covered in fluted wood, tying it all together and creating visual harmony. *Opening Up the Space* One of the most significant changes we made was removing a wall with an arch that blocked the kitchen from the rest of the home. By eliminating this obstruction, we created an open-concept design that seamlessly connects the kitchen to the living space, enhancing both flow and functionality. This openness is further accentuated by lowering the breakfast bar to countertop level, which allowed us to install a spacious island capable of seating 6-8 people comfortably. *Luxury Meets Functionality* For the countertops, we selected *Ijen Azul*—a stunning natural stone featuring a white base with captivating gold, cream, and black veins. This choice brings lightness and sophistication to the room, balancing the bold black cabinetry while making the space feel bright and open. As a final touch, we replaced the pantry door with an arched black metal door with fluted glass. Though not shown here, we also remodeled the pantry’s interior, enhancing its organization and making it more compatible with the homeowner’s needs. *A Transformation for Modern Living* The result of this remodel is a transformed kitchen that merges contemporary design with functional details. From the dramatic black cabinetry and luxe countertops to the carefully placed fluted wood accents, every aspect of this kitchen was designed with elegance and usability in mind. What was once an outdated oak kitchen is now a stunning, open-flow black kitchen that serves as the heart of the home. At Jane Reece Interiors, we’re proud to have turned this vision into reality, and we look forward to continuing to create spaces that inspire.

Floating Fourfold and Sixfold Panel Sets: Greater flexibility in configuration, allowing them to move and stack to the left, right, or center of the opening. Molly Mesnick is opening a set of bifold doors in a modern living room leading to an outdoor seating area with greenery visible beyond. Design and Installation: Using NanaWall Certified Installation services, the NW Aluminum 640 system in Mesnick's living room transformed the space into a versatile area perfect for entertaining and everyday living. The 15-foot-wide, 8-foot-tall, black-framed folding glass wall enhances the home's aesthetic appeal and provides: Uninterrupted Views: The slim profile and large glass panels offer expansive views of the outdoor patio and garden, making the natural scenery a continuous backdrop to the indoor environment.

These bespoke fitted alcove TV, display and storage cabinets were handcrafted by Claude Clémaron for a period property in southwest London. The green-painted oak cabinetry provides a variety of open and concealed storage. Tall bifold doors are designed to hide the large black TV screen when it’s not in use and maintain the aesthetic of the living space. The made to measure, floor to ceiling cabinets have been made in natural oak and painted green, in a deep, heritage shade. The spray painted matt finish retains the beautiful appearance of the oak wood’s grain and texture. The painted finish is Green Smoke no 47 by Farrow and Ball, a smoky green, popular in late 19th century interiors. LED lights enhance the units with a subtle glow, while also illuminating the items on display. Timeless craftsmanship for classic interiors The classic bespoke built-in cabinetry features fluted pilasters, decorative elements resembling a column and the mark of fine craftsmanship. Flutes are vertical concave grooves carved into the surface of the pilaster, adding texture and visual interest to the pilaster and bringing a luxuriously elegant look to the cabinetry. The lower cupboards feature soft closing, push to open doors, handle-free doors. This has the effect of a panelled look without the distraction of extra hardware. Bespoke solid oak library ladder The beautifully crafted library ladder enables the user to reach the upper shelves of the cabinets. The ladder hooks on to the handmade aged black steel rails incorporated onto the cabinets. Made in solid oak for strength, stability and style, the ladder will last for decades. Built in fire surround with mantle We created a simple built in integrated fire surround with a shallow decorative mantle for the existing wood burner stove. The fake chimneybreast for the fireplace has a distinctive panel design and visually connects the two alcove cabinets to appear as one continuous wall fitment.

Bringing visions to life. ✨ This stunning project began with the plans of the renowned architect Philip Hazan while i was part of Whiteoak Construction, and I had the honor of turning those plans into reality by managing the project and handling the interior design. It started with guiding the clients through selecting the perfect stone, materials, color palette, plumbing fixtures, and other essential elements. I worked closely to tweak the cabinetry and millwork designs to reflect their unique style while ensuring functionality. For this ensuite transformation, I began by meticulously planning the execution—creating a detailed budget, timeline, and schedule—and selecting the best skilled teams to deliver an upscale result. From complete demolition to rebuilding from the skeleton, I was on-site every single day, ensuring every design detail was executed to perfection.

Bridle Path Residence — Primary Bathroom Retreat This Bridle Path Residence primary bathroom is conceived as a private spa-like retreat, combining classical architectural detailing with contemporary fixtures, expansive glazing, and a highly restrained material palette. The design prioritizes serenity and natural light while maintaining the level of craftsmanship and visual refinement established throughout the residence. The room's strongest design feature is its relationship with the outdoors. A generous bay of windows brings the surrounding mature landscape directly into the bathroom, transforming the view into an important part of the experience. Daylight washes across the pale surfaces and enhances the sense of openness, making the space feel more like a private wellness suite than a conventional bathroom. The freestanding sculptural tub is positioned directly beside the windows, creating a deliberate moment of relaxation and emphasizing the connection between bathing and the landscape. Its smooth, organic silhouette contrasts beautifully with the architectural geometry of the room, while the polished floor-mounted faucet introduces a refined contemporary detail. The shower is treated as an architectural volume rather than simply a functional enclosure. Clear frameless glass preserves visual continuity across the room and allows the large-format wall surfaces and integrated shower niche to remain visible. The minimal hardware keeps the enclosure visually light and reinforces the clean, modern character. A striking element is the geometric floor design, where dark linear insets intersect across the pale stone surface to create a sophisticated diamond-like pattern. This introduces a graphic layer beneath the otherwise quiet palette and provides a subtle connection to the more traditional detailing found elsewhere in the residence. The custom vanity continues the home's tailored millwork language. White cabinetry, refined hardware, decorative supports, and integrated mirrors create a furniture-like composition rather than a generic bathroom installation. The large mirror amplifies the natural light and visually expands the room, while the sculptural upholstered stool adds softness and a touch of traditional glamour. The material palette is intentionally restrained: luminous white surfaces, pale stone, crisp millwork, polished metal, and touches of dark detailing. This restraint allows architectural form, daylight, and the surrounding landscape to become the primary sources of visual interest. Overall, the bathroom represents timeless luxury interpreted through a contemporary lens. Traditional millwork and geometric stone detailing provide character, while frameless glass, sculptural plumbing fixtures, and the freestanding tub introduce modern simplicity. The result is an elegant, highly personalized primary bathroom designed to feel restorative, spacious, and quietly luxurious.

When marrying two Upper West Side apartments to accommodate a growing family’s needs, the team at Axis Mundi was faced with a conundrum: how to distinctly delineate public and private spaces without sacrificing the greater openness conferred by the expansion. So they limned that line with a six-foot square sliding glass door, which enables parents to block out the sounds of rambunctious youth emanating from private quarters, while also shielding sleeping children from the later night activities of their parents—all of it without obscuring light or affecting the impression of open-plan living. Continuity of materials—hand-scraped walnut plank floors, a custom bamboo veneer kitchen and living room shelving—enhances the sense of sweeping, loft-like spaces. Materials also create intriguing textural contrasts, as in a powder room where a high-tech glass sink and black stainless steel penny tile is softened by a leather door with contrast stitching one must open to enter the space. Highlights: A pair of Gio Ponti lounge chairs, black glass rock tables and a William Yeoward area rug from the Rug Company (living room), sliding glass shower door from Magnum in the master bath.
