This first floor remodel and addition made use of an underutilized front room to create a larger dining room open to the kitchen. A small rear addition was built to provide a new entry and mudroom as well as a relocated powder room. AMA Contracting, Tom Iapicco Cabinets, In House photography.

Amazing transformation of this original 1970's kitchen to a functional and beautiful large space. By taking out the wall between the kitchen and dining room we were able to double the size of the kitchen. A new triple window is strategically placed for the best flow and esthetic. Updated everything by a master contractor- David Hartman Contracting out of Long Valley, NJ. Just love the Customer’s unique wine label wall that we were able to repurpose. The key to making the space feel bigger and adding to the unique design was to create a white subway tiled column around a main waste pipe. We balanced the column with a tall wall cabinet sitting on the counter and custom made floating shelves with gorgeous handmade tile. It is warm, inviting and totally one of a kind.

“It’s hard to believe these two sets of photos are actually the same space! The 1950s “modern” kitchen was tiny and dark, and the adjoining family room went largely unused by the family. Yet the owners love to cook and entertain, so this kitchen needed to go! Designer Fabrice Garson removed the wall between the two spaces and created one multi-purpose space: an open kitchen with abundant storage and prep space at the large range and island; a banquette for casual family meals or homework; and a separate table for dinner parties. Because they’d be losing their formal dining room, Fabrice recommended adding the coffered ceiling to lend an air of elegance to the new space. This once-gloomy cave morphed into an airy, luminous room. Pops of dark blue on the island, the banquette upholstery, and the banquette wallpaper add a fun element to temper the traditional tone of the inset cabinetry. And the mixture of stainless appliances with the brushed gold faucet, gold accents on the pendant fixtures, and the bronze crystal chandelier create an eclectic but elegant look.” (This blurb was part of Bilotta’s Blog Post written by Paulette Gambacorta) The finished space features Signature Custom Cabinetry in a mix of white paint on the perimeter and a custom navy paint on the island. All hardware is a mixed of brushed nickel knobs and cup pulls. The countertops are Ceasarstone’s Bianco Drift and the backsplash is a classic and clean white ceramic subway tile. Appliances are all by Thermador with the exception of the Best hood insert which is hidden by the custom white painted hood. The sink is an apron front by Kohler in cast iron with a white enamel finish and is accented by a brushed copper faucet and water filter. The decorative lighting adding to the elegance of the space is by EuroStyle. The custom-built banquette and coffered ceiling were both designed by Fabrice and brought to life by his long time contractor Breton Contracting.

- AMOND TABLE. The Amond table stems from the designer Gino Carollo's desire to create a strong contrast between the base and the table top, while still retaining a great sense of formal and aesthetic balance. The contrast between the extra thick table top and the base, which is characterized by the absence of filled volumes, creates the illusion of a suspended table top, while at the same time maintaining perfect harmony. Base is available in painted metal or with an extra charge with brass, copper or pickled metal finish or polished steel. The top is available in veneered wood, glass or ceramic. Comes in three sizes. https://cassoni.com/Amond_table-01 - LAMINA CHAIR. The juxtaposition of two slabs of shaped emery-leather, which contain the bearing steel frame and form a single whole that merges the backrest with the legs, is the distinguishing feature of the Lamina chair designed by Mauro Lipparini. The structural stability of the entire shaped panel is ensured by the horizontal seat surface that secures and stabilizes the two side edges of the chair. Lamina is also available in the stool version, Lamina too, like a wader standing on his four legs, characterized by the cosy hug of the backrest which embraces the soft frame. Both the chair and the stool are upholstered in emery-leather. An elegant chair with a steel frame and high density, shrink resistant rubber padding. Fully covered in emery-leather. Non removable cover.Suitable for both home furnishing and the contract sector. Dimensions: 20"W x 22"7/8D x 34"1/4H. https://cassoni.com/Lamina_chair-01
