After ten years, the builder grade finishes and design quirks of this downtown condo had long since lost its charm. This homeowner wanted a thoughtful reinterpretation of her kitchen and was ready for a modern space with clean finishes.

Custom end-grain walnut countertops balance the strong lines of the sleek brass range hood and sculptural lighting finished in matte black offers a considered feel. The clever design balances sleek finishes and soft lines in a simple statement.

Due to the small footprint of the bathroom, we were not able to fit double bowls. Instead, we selected a modern vanity that had a single large bowl. This created a nice visual focal point in the modern rustic bathroom while offering a larger bowl for tending to your bathroom needs. A large shelf made of salvaged wood was installed below the mirror and runs the entire length of the powder room. The strong horizontal line helps make the room feel larger. The exposed oil rubbed bronze hardware not only adds support for the shelf, but adds a bit of character.

As Magnolia continues to attract families, professionals, retirees, and those seeking more space outside Houston, the demand for quality homesites remains strong.

Tall stainless-steel appliance fronts on the left balance glossy white cabinetry on the right, with slender pulls and narrow joints maintaining a precise rhythm. Daylight enters beside the rear counter, joining recessed ceiling lights and illumination beneath the cabinets to brighten the pale floor and reflective surfaces. The restrained palette suggests a minimalist approach with an industrial edge, creating a setting where cooking and informal conversation could comfortably share the same space.

The big win in this project is more family time outside on the patio! Whether the family is watching an afternoon ballgame or a movie under the stars, their outdoor experience can extend well into the night, lit by the warm glow of their new fireplace.
