ALL Renovation & Design LLCCramped space, narrow doorways, and dated cabinets – that is what the Trupe's had.
The time was right to set a transformation in motion.
The first step was to call Amos from ALL Renovation & Design.
They had been friends for the past 20 years, thanks to a deck he had built for them.
And Amos immediately caught their vision for the kitchen.
More space.
An island for entertainment.
And a striking look.
The Trupe's dream kitchen wasn't going to be without challenges.
The door leading to the outside had to go.
But how to match the 20-year-old siding?
The narrow doorway between the kitchen and the dining room had to go too.
But what to do with the wires in the wall?
And though getting rid of the outside door and the doorway gave more room, how would an island, big enough to be useful, fit?
Space. That was the challenge.
Countless design concepts.
Countless ideas to work through.
From the beginning, Amos committed to the extra mile.
Once the island size and cabinet placement were decided, Amos’s team began work in earnest.
The custom-built oak cabinets with an espresso stain finish were the starting place for the project.
All other colors and materials were chosen to compliment the cabinetry.
Like the Daltile glazed porcelain tile floor in the Saddle Brook style and the Farmhouse color.
The backsplash proved to be a challenge. Have you ever settled on the absolutely perfect option only to find that it is forever discontinued by the manufacturer? That's what happened. Thankfully the Trupe's second choice of Anatolia Bliss Fusion Ice mosaic blended beautifully with the granite countertop.
Amazingly, the team was able to match the 20-year-old siding perfectly.
The corner cabinet took creativity as well. Cutting the corner (literally) did the trick. By adding a corner cabinet and cutting the corner of the island countertop, the Trupe's are delighted to have a usable walkway around the island.
“It sounds trivial,” Mr. Trupe remembers, but, instead of going with a plain side to the wood-work around the fridge, the ALL R&D team suggested matching the detail of the cabinet paneling: “I love it.”
Trivial? Not at all. That is part of making your dreams even better in reality.

Kitchen Solvers of Spring HillThese homeowners were ready to completely transform their master bathroom. The existing space felt cramped and outdated, with an impractical linen closet, a small vanity, poor lighting, a bulky tub, and a shower that had seen better days. Their vision was clear—they wanted a warm, inviting, spa-inspired retreat with natural elements, rich textures, and a unique wood feature wall, rather than the all-white look that has become so common.
The finished design brings that vision to life through a beautiful blend of color, texture, and thoughtful details. A stunning cherry vanity and counter stack, topped with luxurious quartzite countertops, create warmth and elegance. The feature wall, finished in 1" x 3" Articulo tile, adds depth and visual interest, while large-format floor tiles provide a clean, modern foundation.
The curbless shower features coordinating hex tile flooring and niches, complemented by porcelain slab walls and glass panels that create an open, airy feel. A spacious freestanding tub offers the perfect place to relax and unwind. To maximize functionality, the doorway was relocated to accommodate a larger vanity, and custom barn and closet doors were added to enhance the room's character.
Programmable lighting tailored to the homeowners' lifestyle, along with a custom wood feature wall designed to showcase decorative plants, transformed a once-empty wall into a stunning focal point. What was once a dreaded space is now a beautiful spa-like retreat and one of the homeowners' favorite rooms in the house.

Klopf ArchitectureKlopf Architecture’s client, a family of four with young children, wanted to update their recently purchased home to meet their growing needs across generations. It was essential to maintain the mid-century modern style throughout the project but most importantly, they wanted more natural light brought into the dark kitchen and cramped bathrooms while creating a smoother connection between the kitchen, dining and family room.
The kitchen was expanded into the dining area, using part of the original kitchen area as a butler's pantry. With the main kitchen brought out into an open space with new larger windows and two skylights the space became light, open, and airy. Custom cabinetry from Henrybuilt throughout the kitchen and butler's pantry brought functionality to the space. Removing the wall between the kitchen and dining room, and widening the opening from the dining room to the living room created a more open and natural flow between the spaces.
New redwood siding was installed in the entry foyer to match the original siding in the family room so it felt original to the house and consistent between the spaces. Oak flooring was installed throughout the house enhancing the movement between the new kitchen and adjacent areas.
The two original bathrooms felt dark and cramped so they were expanded and also feature larger windows, modern fixtures and new Heath tile throughout. Custom vanities also from Henrybuilt bring a unified look and feel from the kitchen into the new bathrooms. Designs included plans for a future in-law unit to accommodate the needs of an older generation.
The house is much brighter, feels more unified with wider open site lines that provide the family with a better transition and seamless connection between spaces.
This mid-century modern remodel is a 2,743 sf, 4 bedroom/3 bath home located in Lafayette, CA.

Alicia Weaver Design, LLCInspiration for a small transitional built-in desk study room remodel in Jacksonville with multicolored walls and no fireplace
AlphaStudio Design GroupConceptually the Clark Street remodel began with an idea of creating a new entry. The existing home foyer was non-existent and cramped with the back of the stair abutting the front door. By defining an exterior point of entry and creating a radius interior stair, the home instantly opens up and becomes more inviting. From there, further connections to the exterior were made through large sliding doors and a redesigned exterior deck. Taking advantage of the cool coastal climate, this connection to the exterior is natural and seamless
