Cherry with a Light stain is so warm and inviting, reminding the clients of the tall redwood trees that surround the Blue Lake Valley. A modern Sable finish hardware from Top Knobs was used to create a streamlined look with a gentle contrast on the cabinets. Nicolette Patton, CKD

Knotty cherry cabinets with rich paradise suede countertops pair up in this kitchen for a traditional look. Five piece drawerheads were selected and both countertops feature an ogee edge. The wolf range top with a drywall hood featuring wood accents are a dream in this chef's kitchen. A diagonal lazy susan was used on the base cabinet to soften the corner and a matching diagonal wall cabinet was used above it.

Two diagonally opposed curved walls form the foyer's rotunda shape and introduce the theme of diagonal of diagonal movement. The large, open living area is composed of 4 distinct spaces which flow together. The dining room gives way to the living area with niches and articulated ceilings helping to define the spaces. Beyond the foyer is the den , which is closed off by a pair of double doors positioned at a splayed angle - yet another diagonal.

Originally built in the 1980s with terra cotta tile and cheap, polished brass, this bathroom is now a sleek, modern marvel. The juxtaposition of simplicity and luxury is evidenced by the walls clad in a large-format porcelain tile that looks like marble but requires no sealing or maintenance and is easy to clean. Gleaming modern plumbing fixtures also present restraint but with a touch of glamour. The eleven-foot wide vanity with integrated toe kick light is capped with a single-piece framed mirror that coordinates with the furniture below it. A dynamic graphic light fixture presides over this improved space and mirrors the diagonal herringbone floor. Photo: Bernardo Grijalva
