Tucked into a leafy street in Sleightsburgh across from Kingston’s Rondout waterfront sits a freshly reborn 19th-century Second Empire home with a mansard roof that gleams like an epaulet in the autumn light. It’s the site of the seventh annual Kingston Design Showhouse—an event that’s equal parts creative laboratory, professional showcase, and social mixer for the Hudson Valley design community—that runs through October 26. The house at 271 Second Avenue had good bones when designer Ana Claudia of Rhinebeck-based Ana Claudia Design took on its gut renovation earlier this year. The transformation added a third bedroom and bath, and—hallelujah—closets in every bedroom. Claudia oversaw the architectural overhaul and designed the showhouse’s open kitchen and dining room, a bright, breezy space that wears its sophistication lightly. Her bird-patterned green wallpaper from Fromental flutters above a handcrafted dining table, bench, and stools by Stone Ridge woodworker Andrew Finnegan. Ceiling lights and sconces from Kingston-based RBW cast the room in warm modern light, while clear switch plates by Corston add a note of barely-there precision. It’s the sort of room that makes you think life could be this orderly and elegant, if only for a weekend.

The client decided that she was in her "forever home" and wanted to create a space that felt clean and fresh but referenced elements of a vintage aesthetic. Panel molding, gently swooping paintable wallpaper, a high-contrast palette and gleaming fixtures from Kohler's Artifacts line all contributed to the look. "I'm never leaving this room," she said when we were done--and somehow I believe that might just be true! Image shot by John Bilodeau

The modern kitchen boasts a clean, minimalist aesthetic. The centerpiece is a large white island, its smooth surface gleaming under recessed lighting. Stainless steel appliances flank the back wall, their sleek lines reflecting the light. Dark hardwood floors ground the space, adding warmth and a touch of contrast. Ample storage is hidden within the white cabinets, their clean lines uninterrupted by hardware. While minimalist, the kitchen doesn't lack personality. A cluster of pendant lamps in brushed chrome hangs above the island, casting a warm glow. A pop of color graces the backsplash – perhaps a mosaic tile in shades of blue and green, adding a touch of visual interest. Sunlight streams through the window, highlighting the breakfast bar tucked into one end of the island, perfect for casual meals or catching up with loved ones.

This project reflects the transformation of a fairly new kitchen, elevating it from a plain, average space to a high-end and bright environment. The Gleaming Granite Upgrade project primarily involved the replacement of the basic beige countertop that initially occupied the space. The new countertop boasts a stylish waterfall edge, creating a seamless transition from the top to the sides, adding an air of sophistication and modernity. We selected matching granite for two kitchen counters, the complementary backsplash, and even the two bathroom counters. The choice of granite was paramount in this project. This natural stone is not just durable and practical for everyday use, but also adds a unique richness and character to the space that synthetic materials can't replicate. The granite's intricate patterns and color variations create a captivating focal point in the kitchen, instantly drawing attention and inviting compliments. Paired with the waterfall edge design, the countertops create an exquisite balance of luxury and contemporary style. The end result is a kitchen that feels undeniably updated, bright, and high-end. The matching granite in the bathrooms also ensures a cohesive aesthetic throughout the home, reiterating the elegance and sophistication that now characterizes the kitchen. The Gleaming Granite Upgrade project is a testament to We The People Construction's unwavering commitment to not just meet, but exceed homeowner expectations. It's a clear demonstration of our ability to transform even newer spaces into something uniquely elegant and aligned with the homeowner's vision.

Cool sleek sophistication is written all over this design. Gleaming glass ball accents complement the cream linen drum shade and shiny chrome finish bringing a soft modern sensibility to your home.
