Entities - Photos & Ideas

The clients gave me three key words – “cocoon”, “outer space”, and “Royal” to apply to the concept. This assortment grew together to form one living entity.

McNaughton Kitchen Fireplace

Suzanne Martin Design

Ground Floor Redesign, Entry, Basement Stairwell, Kitchen, Living and Dining Rooms. Architecturally, we removed the original closed in front vestibule and stairwell walls. We also removed a redundant side door (another is located at back) and flipped the basement stairs to be accessed at the front entrance instead of the kitchen. This redesign allowed the entire space to be opened-up and provide well-needed space for the new kitchen. A full glass railing quietly protects the below closet and pantry area, while offering the feeling of spaciousness and controls traffic from the front door directly into the kitchen. Brilliant idea! A feature to the Living Room is a new built-out wall exhibiting a recessed flat-screen television and linear fireplace with a circulation vent system. The kitchen island hosts the built-in oven, a microwave drawer, and induction cooktop. The built-in fridge sits adjacent to a pullout pantry which is complemented by a corner lemans corner system. A spice niche and the key niche in the entry add some fun storage. All appliances are built-in and only 24" wide, making counter space a privilege. The island front boasts an illuminated display niche to complement a stone waterfall facing the entry. Island toe kicks were tucked back 9” to create the illusion of a “floating” island. The ceiling is thoughtfully designed with painted bulkheads to contribute to defining the three primary spaces as one entity for comfortable interaction. Anchoring the island is a suspended walnut canopy housing a recessed hood fan and an array of recessed lighting. Hardwood flooring was re-pieced and refinished to be level with the new entry "pebble tiles" which promote a sense of nature and non-slip care. A phenomenal transformation indeed, these home-owners absolutely love the results of their renovations.

Bathroom Remodel

Big Bear Remodeling

Room for two! Big Bear Remodeling updated a hall bathroom AND created a second bathroom by converting a portion of the master bedroom. After moving a few walls, the hall bath was updated with a Kohler Entity Soaking Tub and Carrara Tile surround. A new Kohler Memoirs Stately Toilet, Moen Brantford brushed nickel fixtures were installed. Around the corner, the new master bathroom has a walk-in shower in Carrara Tile. The floor is tiled with Virginia Tile Clash Essence. A double sink vanity was created with Fabuwood Allure Luna Cabinets in Dove topped with Calacatta Cola Quartz countertop. To set it apart, matte black Moen Gibson fixtures and accessories were used throughout.
