Example of a mid-sized minimalist concrete floor open concept kitchen design in New York with a drop-in sink, flat-panel cabinets, gray cabinets, solid surface countertops, white backsplash, stainless steel appliances and an island

Bathroom - transitional master porcelain tile and white floor bathroom idea in Austin with recessed-panel cabinets, black cabinets, white walls, an undermount sink, quartz countertops, a hinged shower door and white countertops

For this project, the entire kitchen was designed around the “must-have” Lacanche range in the stunning French Blue with brass trim. That was the client’s dream and everything had to be built to complement it. Bilotta senior designer, Randy O’Kane, CKD worked with Paul Benowitz and Dipti Shah of Benowitz Shah Architects to contemporize the kitchen while staying true to the original house which was designed in 1928 by regionally noted architect Franklin P. Hammond. The clients purchased the home over two years ago from the original owner. While the house has a magnificent architectural presence from the street, the basic systems, appointments, and most importantly, the layout and flow were inappropriately suited to contemporary living. The new plan removed an outdated screened porch at the rear which was replaced with the new family room and moved the kitchen from a dark corner in the front of the house to the center. The visual connection from the kitchen through the family room is dramatic and gives direct access to the rear yard and patio. It was important that the island separating the kitchen from the family room have ample space to the left and right to facilitate traffic patterns, and interaction among family members. Hence vertical kitchen elements were placed primarily on existing interior walls. The cabinetry used was Bilotta’s private label, the Bilotta Collection – they selected beautiful, dramatic, yet subdued finishes for the meticulously handcrafted cabinetry. The double islands allow for the busy family to have a space for everything – the island closer to the range has seating and makes a perfect space for doing homework or crafts, or having breakfast or snacks. The second island has ample space for storage and books and acts as a staging area from the kitchen to the dinner table. The kitchen perimeter and both islands are painted in Benjamin Moore’s Paper White. The wall cabinets flanking the sink have wire mesh fronts in a statuary bronze – the insides of these cabinets are painted blue to match the range. The breakfast room cabinetry is Benjamin Moore’s Lampblack with the interiors of the glass cabinets painted in Paper White to match the kitchen. All countertops are Vermont White Quartzite from Eastern Stone. The backsplash is Artistic Tile’s Kyoto White and Kyoto Steel. The fireclay apron-front main sink is from Rohl while the smaller prep sink is from Linkasink. All faucets are from Waterstone in their antique pewter finish. The brass hardware is from Armac Martin and the pendants above the center island are from Circa Lighting. The appliances, aside from the range, are a mix of Sub-Zero, Thermador and Bosch with panels on everything.

Christmas in Australia falls in Summer so we like to be outside - unless it's scorching hot. For the challenge I didn't want to spend any money so used what I had around the house to pull together a tablescape for 10 people. I planned to do a kids table too but ran out of time and patience... We would be sitting outside - our courtyard is quite private and would be perfect for a lunch as the sun doesn't pour into it until the later afternoon (like when these pictures were taken, hence the overexposure!) This picture: To add a little Christmassy sparkle for no $$$, I simply glued around the base of some plain glass jars and sprinkled glitter onto them. Some were patterned, some were simply glued at varying heights, some had dots - but together they look a collective and made simple, inexpensive centrepieces with flowers cut from the common garden of our apartment building. I also popped some LED tealights into some of the jars to light up once the sun went down...

This breakfast bar was custom designed for this busy family. They needed a spot for to pack lunches and eat breakfast all in the same space while having impromptu family meetings. Remove the stools, and this breakfast bar becomes a real bar in no time.

With views like these across the rolling Gloucestershire countryside, who wouldn’t want to spend time in this large oak orangery? Providing abundant space for dining on one side of this oak building extension, a comfortable breakfast or lunch for up to ten people are just some of the possibilities. At the opposite end of the orangery is a corner sofa group in a contemporary shade of grey, with contrasting grey scatter cushions – just the spot to enjoy the views of the garden and the arable farmland beyond. Double French doors, manufactured from premium quality oak, provide easy access to the paved patio area, which looks particularly appealing on a sunny day like in these photos. Oak is such an enduring material that it was first used for constructing buildings in this country in the 1500s – with many of those properties still standing now, that’s testament to the durability of this timber. The double lantern roofs – a feature of our orangeries and something we specialise in here at David Salisbury – allow in abundant natural light. The result is a wonderfully light and relaxed area, with plenty of flexible living space, some wonderful views of the surrounding countryside with the additional benefit of bringing the owners that much closer to their garden. Sounds like the perfect outcome for an oak building project – or any extension, whether it be a conservatory or orangery. As our sales designer Simon noted, “the clients are over the moon with the oak extension and can't believe the difference it has made to their lifestyle. This project exudes quality and is a true testament to what the David Salisbury team can deliver from initial concept to the completed project!”

The kitchen is so often the heart of the home, but add a large island unit as a central focus and this is a room that becomes the hub of all the action, from breakfast and lunch to dinner and beyond. That’s why CRL Quartz Sahara was the surface of choice for this busy family kitchen, where the large, open-plan space takes on a multi-functional role within the home. With the homeowners keen to include an island complete with breakfast bar within the room’s design as the perfect spot for food prep, home working, dining and socialising, designers Coton Interiors recommended a trip to Intamarble in Staffordshire. Here the family could see first-hand the array of CRL Quartz surfaces available, selecting Sahara as the perfect fit for their décor plans. Sahara has an earthy base colour, complemented with a subtle grey veining, along with lighter grey and white flecks giving it a sense of character and warmth. The neutral colourway makes it ideal for combining with darker and bolder colours elsewhere to create a contemporary two-tone effect. Chosen for the worktops and wall cladding, Sahara matches the kitchen’s colour palette perfectly. Delivered in one piece, the cladding is seam-free with no need for grout lines even over large areas. In the finished open-plan kitchen and dining area, guests are greeted by a bar area complete with wine cooler perfect for entertaining at home. A glass display unit and full wall cladding with CRL Quartz sits between the cupboards, while on the left-hand side a large bank of units solves the family’s storage dilemmas and creates a streamlined impression. Turn the corner to find the island unit, measuring an impressive 2.4m long. Complete with seating area and a modern sbox plug and charging port, this is a multi-functional surface intended for use for cooking, dining, working and relaxing As a stain, heat and scratch resistant surface CRL Quartz is highly durable and simple to care for, with none of the maintenance issues often associated with natural materials and concrete, but with all the aesthetic appeal. With no requirement for sealing and just a wipe with a soft damp cloth and mild detergent all that is needed to keep the surface looking its best, Sahara is perfectly suited for the busiest of areas. Fitting the lifestyle of a thoroughly modern family to perfection, this space at the heart of the home is now the ideal space for hosting.
