Times have changed and so has the kitchen. Some houses just demand a style and a presence, and this home is certainly one of those houses. It had an old out of date kitchen from the 1970’s misplaced in a grand stone house from the 1920s. There was a traditional servant’s kitchen with back entrance that did not look grand, as was the case in those days. We recreated the front entry’s cased opening with leaded stained glass, matched ribbon Mahogany on the cabinets and trim just like the original dining room, and tied in leaded stained glass at the cabinets. The backsplash was designed to keep that servant’s kitchen feel, but with grandeur, reclaiming marble pavers from the property.
Coupling a tedious unrelenting effort and a painstaking design with the convenience of modern appliances and functionality of new cabinets give us a timeless kitchen. It is hard to discern what is old and what is new. It is a seamless integration of style from another era into the practical functionality from today’s ever-changing environment.
The final result from this incredible kitchen renovation is a spacious and modern kitchen that looks like it could have been designed and built by the original team from 1920.

THE SETUP
While the existing layout wasn’t inherently flawed, this primary bathroom felt outdated and lacked the desired aesthetic appeal for our client. The goal was to revitalize the space, catering to her refined taste while ensuring a bright, inviting ambiance. The client wanted a comfortable and classy gender-neutral design that would retain its updated look and have broad appeal for eventual resale.
Design Objectives:

Incorporate ample storage for towels, linens and an extensive hair care collection
Embrace a transitional design style that blends contemporary and classic elements
Establish a harmonious color palette that complements the home’s new black window frames
Ensure a future-proof design to maximize resale potential
Design Challenges:
Integrating a spacious shower within the existing layout
Ensuring accessible towel and robe storage near the shower and tub areas
Providing ample lighting and mirror space without cluttering the vanity area
Finding dedicated storage for hair care essentials and accessories
Maximizing linen storage while minimizing clutter
Decluttering the tub niche area
Tall angled ceiling almost too dramatic
THE RENEWED SPACE
Design Solutions:
Frameless glass shower enclosure with a recessed niche (in the half wall) for body care products
Strategically placed robe/towel hooks on shower glass facing shower and tub
Illuminated, oversized mirrors with integrated lighting
Multiple large pull-out drawers with electrical outlets in the vanity
Dedicated base cabinet with countertop for towel/linen storage and decor
Single, spacious tub niche for products and decorative accents
Subtle horizontal trim lines at standard ceiling height to visually ground the space
