KitchenLab Interiors’ first, entirely new construction project in collaboration with GTH architects who designed the residence. KLI was responsible for all interior finishes, fixtures, furnishings, and design including the stairs, casework, interior doors, moldings and millwork. KLI also worked with the client on selecting the roof, exterior stucco and paint colors, stone, windows, and doors. The homeowners had purchased the existing home on a lakefront lot of the Valley Lo community in Glenview, thinking that it would be a gut renovation, but when they discovered a host of issues including mold, they decided to tear it down and start from scratch. The minute you look out the living room windows, you feel as though you're on a lakeside vacation in Wisconsin or Michigan. We wanted to help the homeowners achieve this feeling throughout the house - merging the causal vibe of a vacation home with the elegance desired for a primary residence. This project is unique and personal in many ways - Rebekah and the homeowner, Lorie, had grown up together in a small suburb of Columbus, Ohio. Lorie had been Rebekah's babysitter and was like an older sister growing up. They were both heavily influenced by the style of the late 70's and early 80's boho/hippy meets disco and 80's glam, and both credit their moms for an early interest in anything related to art, design, and style. One of the biggest challenges of doing a new construction project is that it takes so much longer to plan and execute and by the time tile and lighting is installed, you might be bored by the selections of feel like you've seen them everywhere already. “I really tried to pull myself, our team and the client away from the echo-chamber of Pinterest and Instagram. We fell in love with counter stools 3 years ago that I couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on, thank god, because then they started showing up literally everywhere", Rebekah recalls. Lots of one of a kind vintage rugs and furnishings make the home feel less brand-spanking new. The best projects come from a team slightly outside their comfort zone. One of the funniest things Lorie says to Rebekah, "I gave you everything you wanted", which is pretty hilarious coming from a client to a designer.

Newer Homes Need Makeovers Too Yes, it’s true. The new home that you purchased not that long ago needs a makeover. It feels like just yesterday that you just moved in and are still settling into your new space. But the fact is, it’s already time to remodel. Homes that were built in the early 2000’s and even later are depreciating in value, aesthetically speaking. Kitchens and Baths are the top two culprits. When our clients decided to move back to the New England area in 2012, they chose East Greenwich, RI as their destination. A quaint, centered town with an excellent school system that’s just 45 minutes to Boston and 3 hours to Manhattan (or a quick 40min direct flight). The 5-bedroom colonial they purchased was originally built in 1997, which at the time was only 15 years old. But they knew going into it that, eventually, they would have to make necessary updates for a higher return on investment. In 2017, our clients came to Red House to help them reach their remodeling goals. The two focus areas were the outdated kitchen and a double entry full bathroom located on the second floor. The Red House design team got to work and presented a few design concepts that met our clients’ needs. After a bit of tweaking and refining of details, a fabulous yet functional space was created. In the kitchen, traditional maple cabinets were replaced with linen white shaker style cabinets, making the space feel open and airy. An extra-large island was designed with added seating at one end, ideal for entertaining while the cooktop was replaced with a range and was relocated to a perimeter wall for ease of use. Complimenting the linen white cabinetry, cherry cabinets were used in bar area creating a nice contrast. Taking advantage of the soaring cathedral ceilings, outdated light fixtures were swapped out with 3 large hanging glass pendants by Kichler giving off more light. Granite countertops in River White were installed throughout and venetian bronze hardware by Baldwin was added to support uniformity and consistency. The wall color used was Sherman Williams Agreeable Gray. Upstairs, the full bathroom is accessed from two separate entries, similar to that of a Jack and Jill layout. New custom white vanities with Quartz countertops in Calcutta Classique were installed at each of the two entrances. A glass shower was installed with white Carrara marble tile and natural slate floors. Polished nickel fixtures and hardware were used creating a classic look. The wall color used was Benjamin Moore Oyster Shell. Visit our website for more information! Photo Credit: Aaron Usher Photography Instagram: @redhousedesignbuild
