Windover project is a coastal traditional home located in Corona del Mar, California. The design process involved significant transformations, including moving walls and opening up the downstairs space. We turned what was the dining room into a Butler's pantry and office and took the formal living room and made in the new formal dining space. This home was such a special project to work on and we're so happy our clients love it as much as we do!

This whole home reno involved creating a kitchen greatroom on the main floor and significantly re configuring the upper floor including making a full master bathroom and converting an extra bedroom into walk in closet. An old family home transformed into a modern home for a great young family home of busy professionals.

This project involved installing a brand‑new insulated garage door for a homeowner in Evanston IL. The old door was outdated and inefficient, so we removed it, installed a modern steel door with quiet rollers and weather‑seal insulation, aligned the tracks, and tested the opener system. The new door improved curb appeal, energy efficiency, and overall safety.

Los Angeles projects often involve creative designs and high-end materials. I’ve installed wallpaper in lofts, bungalows, and contemporary homes across the city. From paper to vinyl to custom murals, each install is approached with a clean, professional finish in mind.

This landscape design involved re-landscaping the front and side yard. We installed new boulder retaining walls, new sod, pinestraw, plantings, grading, new plant beds, crab orchard walkway, clearing, irrigation, and landscape lighting.

When approached by the client for this particular project, their primary goal was a comprehensive kitchen remodel that also involved transforming an underused closet into a hidden walk-in pantry. Recognizing the potential of this space adjacent to the kitchen, we aimed to seamlessly integrate it into the overall design, offering practical storage solutions and enhancing functionality. The addition of a walk-in pantry not only addressed the need for increased storage but also allowed us to declutter the main kitchen area. Items such as the microwave, beverage fridge, coffee maker, and various baked goods found a designated place, optimizing the kitchen's efficiency and organization.

Before and After photos of a concrete fireplace surround we recently installed in a residence in Old Greenwich, CT. This remodel involved the replacing of the traditional brick facade with a more contemporary concrete fireplace surround to match the new gray washed cabinetry and shelves. Instead of a single slab of concrete, the surround is made up of multiple panels of various size to give it a modern, deco look. Designed with John Johnstone of Modern Classics.

In this tile shower, my client gave me a lot of freedom and said I could come up with the design, but just make it white. He wanted fairly traditional design so I new there would be subway tile involved. I found a great 2x4 subway tile for the top half of the shower and used 4x8 tiles for the bottom half. The floor is a basket weave mosaic. My client loved it and I did too. :)

We introduce to you one of our newer services we are providing here at Kitchen Design Concepts: spaces that just need a little reviving! As of recent, we are taking on projects that are in need of minimal updating, as in, spaces that don’t need a full-on remodel. Yes, you heard right! If your space has good bones, you like the layout of your kitchen, and you just need a few cosmetic changes, then today’s feature is for you! Recently, we updated a space where we did just this! The kitchen was in need of a little love, some fresh paint, and new finishes. And if we’re being honest here, the result looks almost as if the kitchen had a full-on remodel! To learn more about this space and how we did our magic, continue reading below: The Before and After First, see what an impact new finishes can make! The “before” image shows a kitchen with outdated finishes such as the tile countertops, backsplash, and cabinetry finish. The “after” image, is a kitchen that looks almost as if its brand new, the image speaks for itself! Cabinetry With the wooden cabinetry in this kitchen already having great bones, all we needed to do was our refinishing process that involved removing door and drawer fronts, sanding, priming, and painting. The main color of the cabinetry is white (Sherwin Williams Pure White 7005) and as an accent, we applied a deep navy blue that really pops in this space (Sherwin Willaims Naval 6244). As a special design element, we incorporated a natural wooden band across the hood which is subtle but adds an element of surprise. Countertops The original countertops in this space were a 12×12 tile with cracks and discolored grout from all the wear and tear. To replace the countertops, we installed a clean and crisp quartz that is not only durable but easy to maintain (no grout here!). The 3cm countertops are a Cambria quartz in a grey-tone color (Carrick). Backsplash Keeping things simple, yet classic, we installed a 3×6 subway tile from Interceramic. The crisp white pairs well with all the other finishes of the space and really brighten the space up! To spice things up, we paired the white tile with a contrasting grout color (Cape Grey) that matches the countertop. This is a simple method to add interest to your white backsplash! Fixtures and Fittings For the fixtures and fittings of the kitchen, we wanted pieces that made a statement. That’s why we selected this industrial style faucet from Brizo! The faucet is a Brizo LITZE™ PULL-DOWN FAUCET WITH ARC SPOUT AND INDUSTRIAL HANDLE (63044LF-BLGL). The matte black paired with the luxe gold elements really make a statement! To match the gold elements of the faucet, we installed cabinetry hardware from Topknobs in the same gold finish. The hardware is a Channing pull TK743HB. Lastly, the large single bowl sink (who doesn’t want a large sink?!) is a great functional touch to the kitchen. The sink is a Blanco Precision 16″ R10 super single with 16″ Drainer in stainless steel (516216).

This Spring Lake residence is an absolute treasure. This custom home serves as a seashore escape for its owners who were heavily involved in the design and construction process. Our team's custom carpentry skills were again called on to create various one-of-a-kind aspects for the homeowners, including a custom hanging bed made by hand by the Falcon Industries team.

http://www.catherineandmcclure.com/northshorecolonial.html Danielle McClure is the daughter of Catherine Skaletsky, both Boston interior designers at the firm Catherine & McClure. Danielle and her husband, Matt moved into the house and the design process began immediately and took about 6 months to complete. The project involved creating an open concept, which is unusual for a 1960’s, center entrance colonial. Every room was painted, the kids’ bathroom was wallpapered, new window treatments all over, new rugs, and all new furniture. 3,000 SF.

This project began with an entire penthouse floor of open raw space which the clients had the opportunity to section off the piece that suited them the best for their needs and desires. As the design firm on the space, LK Design was intricately involved in determining the borders of the space and the way the floor plan would be laid out. Taking advantage of the southwest corner of the floor, we were able to incorporate three large balconies, tremendous views, excellent light and a layout that was open and spacious. There is a large master suite with two large dressing rooms/closets, two additional bedrooms, one and a half additional bathrooms, an office space, hearth room and media room, as well as the large kitchen with oversized island, butler's pantry and large open living room. The clients are not traditional in their taste at all, but going completely modern with simple finishes and furnishings was not their style either. What was produced is a very contemporary space with a lot of visual excitement. Every room has its own distinct aura and yet the whole space flows seamlessly. From the arched cloud structure that floats over the dining room table to the cathedral type ceiling box over the kitchen island to the barrel ceiling in the master bedroom, LK Design created many features that are unique and help define each space. At the same time, the open living space is tied together with stone columns and built-in cabinetry which are repeated throughout that space. Comfort, luxury and beauty were the key factors in selecting furnishings for the clients. The goal was to provide furniture that complimented the space without fighting it.

Bathroom - bathroom idea in Charlotte

This is the bare master bedroom space BEFORE we did any interior decor work. Working on this space with the client was exciting. The client had ideas about a grand master bedroom that would give impact. This involved a lot of changes to the current space including changing all light fittings and fixtures. The next picture captures the result after we brought our ideas to life.

Ann Sacks natural stone with a single Schluter-Systems strip detail provides an understated background to this custom built zinc hood. The Wolf 48” range top has plenty of surrounding counter space including a custom pewter insert, great for holding hot items. Two 30” Wolf ovens conveniently reside in the island opposite the range top.

I had a chance to stop by this new garage project in Barrie. Its coming along nicely. The lower level features a 1 car garage, private entry, stair and mechanical room. The loft area hosts a legal 2nd suite. Although this building is small, I recall the challenges involved with meeting the zoning bylaw for floor area and height. There was a lot of thought that went into this one! Can’t wait to see it finished.

This "Basement Addition" in Ledroit Park neighborhood of NW Washington DC involved re-connecting the space to the upper two levels for this fun and entertaining family. The original, "salvaged" concrete floor was buffed, stained, and polished up for an in-town vibe.
