This kitchen seamlessly blends timeless elegance with modern functionality—a space where every detail has been meticulously crafted to enhance both form and function. Custom shaker cabinets welcome you as the centerpiece of this exquisite transitional kitchen. As you enter, your eyes are immediately drawn to the pristine cabinets, their clean lines and subtle detailing evoking a sense of understated sophistication. But it's not just their beauty that captivates you; it's their unparalleled craftsmanship. Each cabinet is constructed with solid wood drawers featuring durable old-world style dovetail joinery, a testament to the dedication of the artisans who brought this vision to life. As you explore further, you discover another marvel concealed within the cabinets—the soft-close door feature. With concealed 6-way adjustable hinges, the doors open smoothly and close gently, adding to the tranquility of the space. And with the interior protected by a conversion varnish topcoat, cleaning becomes a breeze, eliminating the need for shelf paper and ensuring a durable, easy-to-maintain surface for years to come. In this beautiful transitional kitchen, functionality and elegance intertwine harmoniously, creating a space that is as practical as it is stunning. Whether you're preparing a gourmet meal for guests or simply enjoying a quiet moment with a cup of tea, every aspect of this kitchen has been designed to enhance your experience, making every day feel like a culinary masterpiece.

The intent of this was project was to create a porch addition to expand the living area of the house during the warm months of the year. The space accommodates an area for cooking, dining and entertaining. The layout and finishes were chosen to flow with the interior of the home, creating a seamless extension of house. The collar ties add a custom detail making this structure custom and unique. The built-in kitchen is located directly outside the back door. A small veneer wall creates a separation from the kitchen to the dining table, while also doubling as a seat or serving area for the chef. The ‘L’ shaped sectional is a cozy sitting area for the family to relax by the new concrete fire table, or to sit in the shade and watch the kids play in the backyard. The structure is cladded in a PVC material which achieves the clean and simple look that the client was hoping for. The cladding material is also very low maintenance and will continue to look great for many years to come. Although the client was really drawn to modern design, they wanted to make sure that the porch wouldn’t look out of place with the house. To achieve a look that met their aesthetic requirements, the structure was kept relatively traditional, but a modern flare was achieved with the addition of simple plantings, accents, and natural square cut stepping-stones.

This re-mixed Bratenahl marina home evokes simplicity, sophistication, and an elemental sun-touched tranquility. Entering an expansive living area filled with light, your eye is drawn to a beautiful wood and glass staircase that anchors the space and connects to bedroom areas above and below the main living floor. High light floods a clean, white, vaulted kitchen and filters through the open and integrated living room. Throughout the home, modern black steel glass doors punctuate the calm white interior; suggestive of shoji screens, they add to the minimalistic and contemporary aesthetic. Moving the master suite to the lower level created additional living space on the main floor, while adding a new elevator will allow the owners to access their gorgeous and serene bedroom suite for years to come. The master bedroom looks through a wall of black steel and glass to the bright, open bathroom with a spectacular shower and dual water closets and sinks.

A Spiff Midtown Kitchen & Bath Renovation A renovation as unique and extraordinary as the homeowners, this kitchen and bath remodel brings this 1969 home new life and exceptional style. Both the kitchen and bath were stripped to the bones and completely reconfigured to accommodate the homeowners’ needs. If you are wondering what a home renovation can do, take a look at these before and after photos to view this amazing transformation. Designer: Lindsey West Contractor: Johnny Spiers Photographer: Al Pursley, The Digital Studio Kitchen: Mother of Pearl quartzite perimeter countertops are complimented by an island of Azul Macaubus Quartzite paired with a rich, maple butcher block. White oak oil finished wood flooring and Ledger Stone walls are contrasted against rich blue custom cabinetry. New appliances and hardware are among the many features that work in perfect harmony to create this truly custom look. Master Bathroom: The large walk-in shower features porcelain plank wall tile, teak mosaic flooring, and comes complete with a full length soaking tub. Ledger stone walls, Mexican tile flooring, and a custom-built vanity conclude this peaceful bathroom retreat.

Designed By: Sarah Buehlman Marc and Mandy Maister were clients and fans of Cantoni before they purchased this harbor home on Balboa Island. The South African natives originally met designer Sarah Buehlman and Cantoni’s Founder and CEO Michael Wilkov at a storewide sale, and quickly established a relationship as they bought furnishings for their primary residence in Newport Beach. So, when the couple decided to invest in this gorgeous second home, in one of the ritziest enclaves in North America, they sought Sarah’s help in transforming the outdated 1960’s residence into a modern marvel. “It’s now the ultimate beach house,” says Sarah, “and finished in Cantoni from top to bottom—including new custom cabinetry installed throughout.” But let’s back up. This project began when Mandy contacted Sarah in the midst of the remodel process (in December 2010), asking if she could come take a look and help with the overall design. “The plans were being drawn up with an architect, and they opted not to move anything major. Instead, they updated everything—as in the small carpeted staircase that became a gorgeous glass and metal sculpture,” Sarah explains. She took photographs and measurements, and then set to work creating the scaled renderings. “Marc and Mandy were drawn to the One and Only Collection. It features a high-gloss brown and white color scheme which served as inspiration for the project,” says Sarah. Primary pieces in the expansive living area include the Mondrian leather sectional, the Involution sculpture, and a pair of Vladimir Kagan Corkscrew swivel chairs. The Maisters needed a place to house all their electronics but didn’t want a typical entertainment center. The One and Only buffet was actually modified by our skilled shop technicians, in our distribution center, so it could accommodate all the couple’s media equipment. “These artisans are another one of our hidden strengths—in addition to the design tools, inventory and extensive resources we have to get a job done,” adds Sarah. Marc and Mandy also fell in love with the exotic Makassar ebony wood in the Ritz Collection, which Sarah combined in the master bedroom with the Ravenna double chaise to provide an extra place to sit and enjoy the beautiful harbor views. Beyond new furnishings, the Maisters also decided to completely redo their kitchen. And though Marc and Mandy did not have a chance to actually see our kitchen displays, having worked with Sarah over the years, they had immense trust in our commitment to craftsmanship and quality. In fact, they opted for new cabinetry in four bathrooms as well as the laundry room based on our 3D renderings and lacquer samples alone—without ever opening a drawer. “Their trust in my expertise and Cantoni’s reputation were a major deciding factor,” says Sarah. This plush second home, complete with a private boat dock right out back, counts as one of Sarah’s proudest accomplishments. “These long-time clients are great. They love Cantoni and appreciate high quality Italian furnishings in particular. The home is so gorgeous that once you are inside and open the Nano doors, you simply don’t want to leave.” The job took almost two years to complete, but everyone seems quite happy with the results, proving that large or small—and in cases necessitating a quick turnaround or execution of a long-term vision—Cantoni has the resources to come through for all clients.
