This La Mesa Kitchen Remodel has a modern feel with its white, glossy cabinetry and stainless steel accents. Taking advantage of its unique shape and curves, the cabinetry stretches throughout the kitchen, giving the home owners a large amount of storage space. There are two distinct islands in this kitchen - one containing the Wolf cooktop and the other for food prep, entertaining, and seating. The geometric pendant lights add a touch of artistic drama to the space. The modern feel of this kitchen perfectly matched the home owners desire for clean lines and minimal clutter.

In the Anderson kitchen, our goal was to create a space that blended in with the rest of the historic home. We chose walnut cabinets (for character) and white cabinets (to brighten the north-facing space) and a black Bertazzoni range to accent the iron windows. We created smart storage for countertop clutter; there's a hidden pantry next to the fridge where the microwave is tucked away, and there is a pull-out garbage area next to the sink, convenient to the back door exit. A new lighting scheme was essential, and we even snuck in a bench so that an in-kitchen dining space fit snugly in the corner. Quartz countertops are virtually indestructible, and we built the range-side cabinets to 30" deep to take advantage of the width of the room and maximize countertop and storage. We think it's a keeper. It's like it was meant to look like this all along. Photo by Wynne Earle Photography

This active family wanted the keys to enjoying their large back yard. The existing deck was in rough shape. The height and limited size kept activity disconnected from the rest of the property. Our designer configured the new space for distinct areas to take advantage of the shade offered by a beautiful existing shade tree while reserving another space for sun: the best of both worlds. So now they can come together to dine in shady comfort or enjoy some sun on the other end of the patio. The BBQ, fire pit, and landscape lighting work to extend the enjoyment well into the night and beyond our all-too-short summers. “Everyone was great to work with and we love the final product.”

Today’s basements are much more than dark, dingy spaces or rec rooms of years ago. Because homeowners are spending more time in them, basements have evolved into lower-levels with distinctive spaces, complete with stone and marble fireplaces, sitting areas, coffee and wine bars, home theaters, over sized guest suites and bathrooms that rival some of the most luxurious resort accommodations. Gracing the lakeshore of Lake Beulah, this homes lower-level presents a beautiful opening to the deck and offers dynamic lake views. To take advantage of the home’s placement, the homeowner wanted to enhance the lower-level and provide a more rustic feel to match the home’s main level, while making the space more functional for boating equipment and easy access to the pier and lakefront. Jeff Auberger designed a seating area to transform into a theater room with a touch of a button. A hidden screen descends from the ceiling, offering a perfect place to relax after a day on the lake. Our team worked with a local company that supplies reclaimed barn board to add to the decor and finish off the new space. Using salvaged wood from a corn crib located in nearby Delavan, Jeff designed a charming area near the patio door that features two closets behind sliding barn doors and a bench nestled between the closets, providing an ideal spot to hang wet towels and store flip flops after a day of boating. The reclaimed barn board was also incorporated into built-in shelving alongside the fireplace and an accent wall in the updated kitchenette. Lastly the children in this home are fans of the Harry Potter book series, so naturally, there was a Harry Potter themed cupboard under the stairs created. This cozy reading nook features Hogwartz banners and wizarding wands that would amaze any fan of the book series.

The island has been designed not only as a very functional gathering space, but a fine baking area. The pop up mixer can be conveniently stored away when not in use! Note the main sink and prep sink in the island—this kitchen has been designed with two distinct work areas for the two cooks in the family! The island has been constructed to cleverly take advantage of the lake view, as well as be a meal preparation area. Note the ultra-modern LG appliances
