The client’s coastal New England roots inspired this Shingle style design for a lakefront lot. With a background in interior design, her ideas strongly influenced the process, presenting both challenge and reward in executing her exact vision. Vintage coastal style grounds a thoroughly modern open floor plan, designed to house a busy family with three active children. A primary focus was the kitchen, and more importantly, the butler’s pantry tucked behind it. Flowing logically from the garage entry and mudroom, and with two access points from the main kitchen, it fulfills the utilitarian functions of storage and prep, leaving the main kitchen free to shine as an integral part of the open living area.

Here we see double access display cabinets dividing the dining space from the kitchen in this condo. Cherry cabinets with a dark glazed stain and formal doorstyle provide elegance to the small space. We also added pantry storage in the far corner -- again formal cabinetry keeps it from being too "kitcheny". Wood-Mode Fine Custom Cabinetry: Brookhaven's Pelham Manor

This beverage center is located adjacent to the kitchen and joint living area composed of greys, whites and blue accents. Our main focus was to create a space that would grab people’s attention, and be a feature of the kitchen. The cabinet color is a rich blue (amalfi) that creates a moody, elegant, and sleek atmosphere for the perfect cocktail hour. This client is one who is not afraid to add sparkle, use fun patterns, and design with bold colors. For that added fun design we utilized glass Vihara tile in a iridescent finish along the back wall and behind the floating shelves. The cabinets with glass doors also have a wood mullion for an added accent. This gave our client a space to feature his beautiful collection of specialty glassware. The quilted hardware in a polished chrome finish adds that extra sparkle element to the design. This design maximizes storage space with a lazy susan in the corner, and pull-out cabinet organizers for beverages, spirits, and utensils.

Inspiration for a mid-sized transitional gray floor and porcelain tile mudroom remodel in San Francisco with gray walls and a white front door

White built-ins and traditional wallpaper chosen by the architect is counterpoint to rustic elements. Earthy and elemental materials are selected for the home that reference the barn without directly mimicking it. Wooden members found inside the barn and from other barns bridge ceilings and are used in floors along with rustic slate adding to a sense of simplicity to the farmhouse design.

The Portland Room Divider Bookcase is designed to bring open storage, natural wood warmth, and functional separation into modern living spaces. Handcrafted with solid pine wood shelves and sturdy steel legs, this wide bookcase works beautifully as both a display shelf and a room divider for living rooms, home offices, libraries, studios, and open-concept interiors. Its open-back structure keeps the design light and airy while offering generous space for books, plants, ceramics, baskets, framed photos, and decorative objects. Available in multiple widths and custom finish options, Portland combines practical storage with a clean modern look that fits industrial, minimalist, rustic-modern, Scandinavian, and warm contemporary spaces.
