This compact bedroom uses custom fitted furniture to provide generous storage without sacrificing comfort around the bed. Floor-to-ceiling wardrobes connect with overhead cabinets to form one cohesive composition, making use of wall space that would otherwise remain empty. Integrated bedside drawers keep everyday essentials accessible, while suspended globe lights free the surfaces from table lamps. A geometric feature wall, warm neutral textiles, slim black handles, and a herringbone floor give the practical storage solution a distinctive contemporary character.

As we start to notice the vibrant colors of spring beginning to peek through last week’s snowstorm, it’s the perfect time to unveil one of our recent primary bath renovations. Led by Project Manager, Steve Shanholtz, and Designers, Justina Auer and Sarah Domery, this project was a collaborative effort from start to finish. Our clients came to us with their flooring tile already selected, serving as the catalyst for our creative vision. It’s hard to find the centerpiece of this space, as so many aspects of the room elicit a “Wow!” reaction. With a palette of lush greens and crisp whites, this renovation is a testament to the beauty of renewal and rejuvenation. The Cambria Clifton countertop seamlessly carries the essence of green throughout the space with tiny pops of a bold black hardware adding to the sophistication of this modern bath – a striking choice against the pristine white cabinetry. Practicality meets elegance in the shower with the use of Onyx walls, chosen for their easy maintenance without compromising on style. A thoughtful rearrangement of the sink allowed for the addition of a linen cabinet, providing ample storage for towels and bath essentials. We are so proud of the impeccable work by our guys in the field, especially our lead carpenter on this project, Brian Halme. As we usher in the season of renewal, there’s no better time to breathe new life into your home. Give us a call so we can transform your space into a sanctuary of style and comfort!

We are proud to share with you an exciting cabinet project in Bellevue that involved both the kitchen and bathroom. The client desired a European style with sleek, modern aesthetics, and we were thrilled to bring their vision to life.
In the kitchen, we installed stunning flat-panel cabinets that exude a contemporary charm. The upper cabinets reached all the way to the ceiling, optimizing storage space and providing a seamless, polished look. These upper cabinets not only offer ample storage but also add a touch of elegance to the entire kitchen.
To further enhance functionality, we incorporated wide drawers into the design. These spacious drawers make organizing and accessing kitchen essentials a breeze. They provide a convenient and stylish solution for storing utensils, cookware, and other items.
For the finishes, we employed a combination of light and dark tones to create a striking contrast. The light finishes brought an airy and open feel to the space, while the dark finishes added depth and sophistication. This harmonious interplay of colors created a visually appealing and modern atmosphere in the kitchen.
In the bathroom, we continued the European influence with floating cabinets. These cabinets, devoid of visible legs or support, create a sleek and minimalist look while maximizing floor space. The floating design also makes cleaning a breeze, as there are no obstacles or obstructions to maneuver around.
The end result was a beautiful and functional space that seamlessly blended modern aesthetics with practicality.#europeanstylecabinets #modernkitchen #floatingvanity #flatdesign #seattlecabinets #moderndesigns

An open floor plan kitchen renovation essentially merges your kitchen area with another living space, typically the dining room or living room, creating a more spacious and interconnected feel.
Opening Up the Space and Removing walls:
This is the key step, taking down non-load-bearing walls that separate the kitchen from the living or dining area. You'll want to consult a structural engineer to ensure any remaining walls can support the weight of the house.
Considering beams or columns:
Depending on the layout and size of the opening, you might need exposed beams or support columns to maintain structural integrity. These can be incorporated into the design as a stylish feature.
Kitchen Repositioning and Functionality:
Rethinking the work triangle: The work triangle refers to the refrigerator, sink, and stove - the most used areas in a kitchen. In an open plan, you'll want to ensure these elements remain close together for an efficient workflow. This might involve rearranging cabinetry or appliances.
Creating a focal point: An island is a popular choice in open concept kitchens. It can house the sink, cooktop, provide additional storage and counter space, and even offer seating for guests to chat while you cook. Peninsula counters can also be used for a similar effect.
Unifying Design Elements: Use consistent flooring throughout the open area to create a cohesive flow. You can also extend the same color scheme or material accents (like backsplash tile) from the kitchen into the adjoining space.
Letting in Light: Maximize natural light by incorporating large windows or skylights. This will brighten the entire open area and make it feel even more spacious.
Storage Solutions: With an open plan, you might lose some wall space for cabinets. Consider built-in storage solutions like pantry cabinets or creative mudroom cabinetry to ensure you have enough storage for your kitchenware.
An open floor plan kitchen renovation can be a transformative project, creating a light-filled and social space in your home. By carefully planning the layout, incorporating design elements that unify the space, and addressing practical considerations with lighting and storage, you can achieve a beautiful and functional open concept kitchen.
