This is an example of a traditional porch design in Jacksonville.

Typically, interior design elements are vastly different from exterior elements such as materials and the degree of refinement to design and function. Yet, one of the most rewarding things you can do is extend the feeling and atmosphere of a room to your outdoor living space. With a matte black finish, clear seeded glass shades and a bold design, the Tyson 6-Light Outdoor Chandelier is the perfect marriage of farmhouse chic with a rich vintage appeal. The versatility of this outdoor chandelier allows you to place it in a patio dining space above a painted wood table for a cool casual arrangement just as easily as you can place it with a glass topped iron table for a stunning dinner party. Not only is this chandelier perfect for illuminating a neighborhood get together or a romantic dinner, it's super functional too. The seeded glass shades are extremely easy to set-up and then to remove to change a light bulb - just lock them on or pop them off. Simply put, this is the must-have chandelier of the season!

This project is a prime example of maximizing usable space to get the most out of your backyard. Serving multiple functions; the deck is a perfect area to host dinner parties with the ease of access in & out of the kitchen, while also giving protection from the elements below. By finishing off the underside with a drainage system, it gives a dry space for rainy days to be spent on the gorgeous flagstone patio below. We added some curves to the project to keep it lively & vertical cable handrail to keep visibility at a maximum! Stroll down the steps on either side and the party continues with space for a hot tub, lounging and green grass that beckons to be walked, ran, and played on.

The owners of a charming home in the hills west of Paso Robles recently decided to remodel their not-so-charming kitchen. Referred to San Luis Kitchen by several of their friends, the homeowners visited our showroom and soon decided we were the best people to design a kitchen fitting the style of their home. We were delighted to get to work on the project right away. When we arrived at the house, we found a small, cramped and out-dated kitchen. The ceiling was low, the cabinets old fashioned and painted a stark dead white, and the best view in the house was neglected in a seldom-used breakfast nook (sequestered behind the kitchen peninsula). This kitchen was also handicapped by white tile counters with dark grout, odd-sized and cluttered cabinets, and small ‘desk’ tacked on to the side of the oven cabinet. Due to a marked lack of counter space & inadequate storage the homeowner had resorted to keeping her small appliances on a little cart parked in the corner and the garbage was just sitting by the wall in full view of everything! On the plus side, the kitchen opened into a nice dining room and had beautiful saltillo tile floors. Mrs. Homeowner loves to entertain and often hosts dinner parties for her friends. She enjoys visiting with her guests in the kitchen while putting the finishing touches on the evening’s meal. Sadly, her small kitchen really limited her interactions with her guests – she often felt left out of the mix at her own parties! This savvy homeowner dreamed big – a new kitchen that would accommodate multiple workstations, have space for guests to gather but not be in the way, and maybe a prettier transition from the kitchen to the dining (wine service area or hutch?) – while managing the remodel budget by reusing some of her major appliances and keeping (patching as needed) her existing floors. Responding to the homeowner’s stated wish list and the opportunities presented by the home's setting and existing architecture, the designers at San Luis Kitchen decided to expand the kitchen into the breakfast nook using Wood-Mode cabinetry. This change allowed the work area to be reoriented to take advantage of the great view – we replaced the existing window and added another while moving the door to gain space. A second sink and set of refrigerator drawers (housing fresh fruits & veggies) were included for the convenience of this mainly vegetarian cook – her prep station. The clean-up area now boasts a farmhouse style single bowl sink – adding to the ‘cottage’ charm. We located a new gas cook-top between the two workstations for easy access from each. Also tucked in here is a pullout trash/recycle cabinet for convenience and additional drawers for storage. Running parallel to the work counter we added a long butcher-block island with easy-to-access open shelves for the avid cook and seating for friendly guests placed just right to take in the view. A counter-top garage is used to hide excess small appliances. Glass door cabinets and open shelves are now available to display the owners beautiful dishware. The microwave was placed inconspicuously on the end of the island facing the refrigerator – easy access for guests (and extraneous family members) to help themselves to drinks and snacks while staying out of the cook’s way. We also moved the pantry storage away from the dining room (putting it on the far wall and closer to the work triangle) and added a furniture-like hutch in its place allowing the more formal dining area to flow seamlessly into the up-beat work area of the kitchen. This space is now also home (opposite wall) to an under counter wine refrigerator, a liquor cabinet and pretty glass door wall cabinet for stemware storage – meeting Mr. Homeowner’s desire for a bar service area. And then the aesthetic: an old-world style country cottage theme. The homeowners wanted the kitchen to have a warm feel while still loving the look of white cabinetry. San Luis Kitchen melded country-casual knotty pine base cabinets with vintage hand-brushed creamy white wall cabinets to create the desired cottage look. We also added bead board and mullioned glass doors for charm, used an inset doorstyle on the cabinets for authenticity, and mixed stone and wood counters to create an eclectic nuance in the space. All in all, the happy homeowners now boast a charming county cottage kitchen with plenty of space for entertaining their guests while creating gourmet meals to feed them.

White wainscoting transforms the main living areas and the dining area is a perfect spot for enjoying a romantic dinner or hosting a fabulous dinner party!

Getting ready for Holidays, dinner parties or just a nice family dinner in the dining room has never been so simple and elegant. With extra storage for all your dining room needs, this gorgeous Dynasty by Omega buffet is truly beyond compare. Photographed by Mike Kaskel

This little nook was the perfect space for us to create an amazing wet bar. Whether you're hosting a small dinner party or having the neighborhood over for the big game, you will have plenty of space to keep the party going.

When you are hosting a dinner party and don't want to leave the table after dinner is finished, all you have to do is reach over to the tray that has everything already set up for more wine or coffee!

A self proclaimed entertainer - and with designs like these, she should be - Mrs. Steinhorn focused all of her attention on creating a space for guests and family members to gather comfortably. With the help of Brian and Bob of Paul Davis Restoration & Remodeling, the once barren walls took on the shapes of designer cabinetry accented with gorgeous updated counter tops and a back splash tile to draw the eye in. The space was enlarged to allow more access for dinner parties and cooking area as well. Brigitte says she’s thrown “countless parties and events since the loss took place, it’s been phenomenal.” Photo: Doug Mathurin
