Luxury kitchen photograph at the Contemporary Waterfront Estate centers on a large island surrounded by upholstered counter stools. Dark reddish-brown wood cabinetry with long metal pulls frames built-in appliances, while glossy black countertops create a strong contrast with the pale island base. A suspended rectangular fixture with candle-like lights defines the work area. Polished flooring and abundant recessed lighting keep the expansive kitchen bright, functional and well suited to casual dining and entertaining.

At this stage of Shiloh Retreat, the framing is complete and the home’s distinctive modern farmhouse form is coming into focus. The balance of steep rooflines, open gables, and strong symmetry establishes the architectural identity that will define the finished exterior. Wrapped in Tyvek and prepped for the next phase of construction, this moment captures the raw beauty of the building process—where vision begins to meet structure. Even before finishes and materials are applied, the clean lines and thoughtful proportions reveal the craftsmanship and precision behind every Oak & Iron build.

Graphic bathroom vanity detail frames a rectangular white sink with angular gray, white and charcoal mosaic tile. A tall mirror bordered by integrated vertical lighting brightens the compact station, while a warm patterned countertop softens the monochrome wall. Polished metal fixtures add a crisp reflective accent. The strong geometry continues around the mirror, turning a practical sink area into a bold focal point with balanced symmetry and clear task illumination.

Art Deco bedroom entry features a black grid-framed glass partition beside a finely detailed built-in cabinet. The photograph reveals warm wood shelving, inset display lighting, striped edge accents, decorative objects, and a matching wood floor with a linear border. A glimpse of the upholstered bed and layered artwork beyond adds softness, while the dark partition introduces crisp contrast and a strong architectural threshold between spaces.

A compact sink station wraps a deep stainless basin with pale veined countertop and backsplash surfaces. A tall black spring faucet provides flexible function and strong contrast, accompanied by a smaller auxiliary fixture. Warm under-cabinet lighting brightens the corner and reveals the subtle gold-toned veining. The continuous L-shaped worktop maximizes preparation space, while nearby neutral cabinetry keeps the small kitchen visually organized.

Kids' room - transitional kids' room idea in Chicago

This master bathroom renovation transforms a builder-grade standard into a personalized retreat for our lovely Stapleton clients. Recognizing a need for change, our clients called on us to help develop a space that would capture their aesthetic loves and foster relaxation. Our design focused on establishing an airy and grounded feel by pairing various shades of white, natural wood, and dynamic textures. We replaced the existing ceramic floor tile with wood-look porcelain tile for a warm and inviting look throughout the space. We then paired this with a reclaimed apothecary vanity from Restoration Hardware. This vanity is coupled with a bright Caesarstone countertop and warm bronze faucets from Delta to create a strikingly handsome balance. The vanity mirrors are custom-sized and trimmed with a coordinating bronze frame. Elegant wall sconces dance between the dark vanity mirrors and bright white full height mirrors flanking the bathtub. The tub itself is an oversized freestanding bathtub paired with a tall bronze tub filler. We've created a feature wall with Tile Bar's Billowy Clouds ceramic tile floor to ceiling behind the tub. The wave-like movement of the tiles offers a dramatic texture in a pure white field. We removed the existing shower and extended its depth to create a large new shower. The walls are tiled with a large format high gloss white tile. The shower floor is tiled with marble circles in varying sizes that offer a playful aesthetic in an otherwise minimalist space. We love this pure, airy retreat and are thrilled that our clients get to enjoy it for many years to come!

The design goal of this home was to create an old English cottage. Francis Garcia of Francis Garcia Architect studied the architecture of aged English cottages through photos as well as referenced various homes in Carmel, CA. In search of a stone to complement the client’s stylistic goals, Eldorado Stone’s York Limestone proved to be exactly what they were looking for. The sense of age and authenticity in conjunction with a consistent color palette and profile cut produced the exact feel Garcia was hoping to recreate. Having experienced a great deal of success with the installation, both Francis Garcia and Ken Blaise of Blaise Construction & Development receive a great deal of requests from people inquiring about the kind of stone that brought such a strong sense of authenticity to the client’s home.

Overlooking Semiamhoo Bay, Galadriel is a refined, modern home with the warmth and strength inherently found in West Coast architecture. Textures of natural stone, Douglas fir, glass and steel unify the interior with its geographical setting - surrounded by evergreens and unrestricted views of the ocean. The entrance to the home is accessed by a crossing above a reflecting pool, in which sits a stunning and solitary bonsai which is illuminated from above through an oculus in the roof’s overhang. Expansive outdoor spaces featuring fire features and seating areas are connected by a curved metal staircase set over a blackened steel reflecting pool, adding a graphic element to the rear of the home. Clerestory glazing in an elevated roof area offers an opening into the tree canopy towards the front of the property and allows light to permeate the interior of the home, while full height windows throughout maximize the impressive views. Living spaces throughout provide ample room for entertaining and comfort. Creativity is shown in the many colourful and whimsical accents. The master bedroom features two ensuite baths - a unique request that makes good sense for the owners. Spaces for work, writing and art were given priority reflecting the values and livelihood of our clients. Projecting from a stone clad wall, cantilevered white oak stair treads lead to an extraordinary wine display that incorporates a sculptural component taken as a memento from our client’s work as a producer in the film industry, adding a strong personal dimension. This home reflects a successful collaboration between Peter Hildebrand and Stefan Walsh of Iredale Group Architecture and KBC Developments. Photography by Ema Peter | www.emapeter.com

Overhead lighting resembles twinkling starlights in the home's main spaces. In the center of it is a two-island kitchen with a pantry hidden behind the illuminated back wall.

The Willow - Transitional Family Home on Acreage in Brush Prairie, Washington by Cascade West Development Inc. Lastly, the style. Shabby Chic (chique) was a trend favorited early on by these clients. We wanted to create a space that used similar elements in materials and construction while allowing their style to play out over interior walls. On the outside this amounted to over 200 square feet of Eldorado Stone’s stacked stone, giving the façade giving the exterior a strong, natural and rustic feel. The stone is additionally used in the rear of the home as well, to frame an outdoor family living area equipped with a full outdoor kitchen. On the interior, their style translated into many accents. Antique wall sconces. Reclaimed wood. Wrought iron fixtures. Ornate woodwork. And old-world stylings of modern furniture. That idea is evidenced in pieces like their mud-bench in the second entryway. The hyperfunctional mud-bench is made of dark, unfinished natural wood stained to match an adjacent tongue and groove ceiling.

Kitchen - coastal kitchen idea in Minneapolis

Strong lines and a bold, thick, accent strip contrast the elegance of the sliding 'frame-less' glass door in this contemporary styled bath remodel, and the brown mosaic adds a hint of Mediterranean warmth to the design. The breadth of the glass door lends a further impression of expanse to the space and shows off the full surround tiled shower. This installation called for a custom sized shower base and seat, for which we generally use a polystyrene composite do to its infallible mold and moisture resistance. The entire base is sealed then with a silicone paint adhering mold resistant cloth tape into edges and corners. Tec super flex mortar, grout and caulk were used to ensure maximum expansion capability. The flooring (not pictured here) was installed with matching 12"x12" tile, making a total of four different tile sizes, not including the bullnose border. -JCR Development LLC
