Kitchens are the heart of the home. It is a great honor for our customers to trust us enough to let us design their Kitchen. We start the design process off with evaluating the layout. We want to create the most effective layout for the cook(s) while also considering the view, storage and location to surrounding rooms. The working triangle is a tool that designers use to make sure your kitchen layout is effective. The working triangle is the relationship between the 3 major appliances in your kitchen: refrigerator, sink & cooktop/range.

This family originally brought us in to replace their outdated, impractical island—but once we evaluated the space, their need for natural stone, and desire for more storage, the project evolved into a full kitchen transformation using our budget-friendly line. The result? Storage was doubled, and countertop space nearly tripled. The new oversized island now serves as a stunning centerpiece and a highly functional workspace for prepping, gathering, and everyday living. Beyond the numbers, the entire kitchen feels brighter, more open, and designed for how they truly use the space—combining style, function, and lasting value.

All windows were re-positioned strategically to take full advantage of the view, for example, the living room new windows were positioned to take full advantage of the beautiful views of the property. The linear layout of the new windows in the living room was designed to frame and echo the panoramic view of the beautiful pond, farm fields, tree lines and the Adirondack mountains seen beyond As part of architectural and interiors design, here Mitra paid careful attention to use green building products as much as possible, which was done by selecting and using environmentally friendly and low VOC emission products, as well as sing salvaged products where possible, and using as much local products as possible. Aside from using green building products as much as possible, another very important goal of this project was to dramatically improve and maximize the energy efficiency of this home. To meet the specific and mechanical needs, a team of independent expert energy efficient consultants was assembled at the early phase of the design, so that energy solutions were studied and evaluated to the fullest. After extensive energy audits and study of the existing conditions and after extensive evaluation and brainstorming between all parties, Mitra compiled all the information and findings and incorporated them in her design solutions. In short, during construction, extensive energy upgrading measures were achieved by constructing a tight insulating envelope on the interior sides of all exterior walls and roofs, installing the most efficient heating and cooling system along with the introduction of a geothermal system installation. All windows and doors were replaced by state of the art and modern design energy efficient product available in the market which also visually modernized the design and maximized the beautiful westerly view of the landscape outside. To further address the energy efficiency of this project Mitra designed a concrete and steel and concrete fireplace box for it so that it can act as a chase for the mechanical needs of this new super energy efficient fireplace unit. - Photo credit: Susan Teare

#TipTuesday: With spring right around the corner and mild SWFL winter temperatures just right, now is the perfect time to plan a day (or two) to organize and discard the clutter from your garage. Once you’re ready to get started, empty all contents of your garage and then start evaluating what is worth keeping. Toss, recycle, or donate all of the junk that has overstayed its welcome. Once you’ve eliminated the unnecessary clutter, group the items you’re keeping together in order to stay organized and get a better understanding of how much storage space you actually require. We can inventory your belongings and customize a space for everything! Consult with one of our designers for more helpful tips and schedule a FREE design consultation today.

There is a big difference between buying a house and buying a house with acreage. When you are searching for Magnolia TX homes for sale with acreage, the property itself becomes part of the lifestyle. You are not just evaluating the kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, and floor plan. You are also buying the land, trees, driveway, fencing, drainage, utilities, and everything else that comes with having more space. For many buyers, that is exactly the appeal. Magnolia offers opportunities to enjoy a little more room to spread out while remaining within reach of the amenities and communities of the greater Houston area. But acreage properties can also come with considerations that do not apply to a typical suburban home.
