Modern farmhouse kitchen design and remodel for a traditional San Francisco home include simple organic shapes, light colors, and clean details. Our farmhouse style incorporates walnut end-grain butcher block, floating walnut shelving, vintage Wolf range, and curvaceous handmade ceramic tile. Contemporary kitchen elements modernize the farmhouse style with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertop, and cork flooring.

The innate “honeycomb” structure of its body helps bolster and support your back and feet. It’s durable. soundproofing floors is possible using cork, as the material is a natural insulator. A layer of cork can help homeowners tame problems with echoing. Cork’s acoustic properties can trump even carpet when it comes to sound absorption. Reduce the noise from outside or noise created by traffic inside the house, your neighbors will be astounded. https://bit.ly/2IJ9uiH

The Floors AFTER: This incredible design remind me of Italian marbleized paper. And cork is so soft and giving when I’m standing washing dishes. Megan installed it herself and says the process is supereasy. “In addition to being both durable and beautiful, this cork flooring is easily cut with a utility knife and then glued down with contact cement,” she says. “It’s literally a cut-and-paste install!” Photos by Lesley Unruh.

When you want a floor that’s not only beautiful but comfortable too, then try floating cork flooring. An eco-friendly material, cork has a unique cellular structure that is comfortable to stand on, warmer than wood floors and quieter too.

Not only do cork flooring present an artistic beauty and luxurious atmosphere, it also offers outstanding acoustic qualities. This asset is what makes it hot among not just homeowners but also the music industry and businesses where acoustics matter.

The new basement is the ultimate multi-functional space. A bar, foosball table, dartboard, and glass garage door with direct access to the back provide endless entertainment for guests; a cozy seating area with a whiteboard and pop-up television is perfect for Mike's work training sessions (or relaxing!); and a small playhouse and fun zone offer endless possibilities for the family's son, James.

We wanted the gym in this home to flow seamlessly from the other areas in the basement, so continued the stone wall from the bar area as well as the paint themes. The cork flooring is resilient for work outs, as well as adding to the warm feel.

In the kitchen, white cabinetry feels so fresh + classic and the black hardware we chose is the perfect punctuation to draw attention to details in the millwork. We chose a backsplash that has both grey and brown tones while still feeling simple enough to coordinate perfectly with the veined quartz countertop. A large window over the sink provides the space with an ample amount of natural light but we added in these fun geometric pendants lights over the island to help define the space and tie in the black hardware. The island itself is custom-stained in a finish the clients hand selected; in fact, it was one of the first things chosen in the whole house! The flooring throughout the living room + kitchen space is a cork product which is durable yet soft underfoot and environmentally friendly. Points all around!
