The starting point of the overall design plan was to change one of the entry points in this kitchen from a narrow doorway to a beautiful archway. Because the existing breakfast nook featured an archway, we decided to mimic that architectural element to create a cohesive look. We paired the white cabinetry with a white quartz countertop that features pretty gray veins. And to complement the design, we added a counter-to-ceiling classic subway tile for the backsplash. The gorgeous Café appliances in matte white help elevate the aesthetics of this room. While the white color helps the appliances blend with the white cabinets, the brass handles and details make them stand out. There is a harmonious tension between the black and brass accessories that bring so much energy into this space. We added open shelving to create a visual interest right above the farmhouse-style sink. The black metal shelves from Cascade Iron filled the gap between the two windows and help in creating an instant focal point. We’ve styled the bottom shelves with everyday items while keeping the pretty decorative items on the top shelf.

Mudroom — Project Description (Bolton, CT) (Reconfiguration • Custom Storage • Functional Entry Design) The original mudroom layout was cramped and inefficient, offering minimal storage and poor traffic flow. The garage door opened directly into a wall, the single corner closet provided limited accessibility to its sides, and there was no place for shoes, coats, or everyday landing items. The space lacked both organization and visual appeal. Key Issues in the Old Layout Garage door swung into a side wall, restricting movement Small corner closet with poor left/right access and inadequate capacity No dedicated shoe storage No seating or landing surface No mirror, making the space feel smaller and less functional Overall layout did not support daily use or family workflow New Layout & Built-In Storage Solutions The mudroom was completely reconfigured to create a balanced, efficient, and visually cohesive entry zone that supports everyday routines and maximizes available space. Wall-to-Wall Back Closet Full-width custom closet spans the entire back wall Equipped with double pocket doors for effortless access without blocking circulation Interior fitted with coat hanging space and top shelving for seasonal items Full-Height Shoe & Accessory Storage A dedicated tall cabinet provides: Bottom half: organized shoe storage Top half: adjustable shelves for accessories, baskets, or household essentials Built-In Combo Opposite the Closet A custom multifunctional unit includes: Walnut bench top for warmth, texture, and a natural design element Two deep drawers beneath the bench for gloves, hats, pet items, etc. Full-height mirror strategically placed to visually expand the room Open hanging storage for quick-access items Upper enclosed cabinet with adjustable shelving for concealed storage Additional Enhancements The garage door swing was reversed for proper ergonomics and easier entry Added crown molding throughout the space for a cohesive, finished look consistent with the rest of the renovation Upgraded lighting brightens the room and enhances the sense of cleanliness and order

This stunning kitchen remodel blends timeless elegance with modern functionality, anchored by a large statement island that serves as both a prep space and gathering hub. Topped with sleek white quartz countertops, the island offers generous workspace while adding a bright contrast to the rich, dark cabinetry. Brass accents are carried throughout the space—from cabinet hardware to the faucet—bringing warmth and a refined, upscale feel. Overhead, a glamorous crystal chandelier adds a touch of sophistication and visual interest, elevating the kitchen beyond purely functional into a true showpiece. Luxury appliances complete the design, offering high-performance cooking capabilities while seamlessly integrating into the cabinetry for a clean, cohesive look. The result is a kitchen that feels both elevated and inviting—perfect for everyday living and entertaining alike.

Nestled at the top of a steeply sloped wooded site, this backyard retreat offers a quiet sanctuary tucked away in a busy west Austin neighborhood. This efficiently planned accessory dwelling unit comprises a bedroom, bath, kitchen and living area. The approach to the retreat is via a winding path up the woodland hill that arrives at a generous wrap-around porch. The path and porch are connected by a small bridge that negotiates the difference in terrain and provides an experiential cue of transitioning to a secluded and protected environment. Tall interior spaces give a sense of airiness to each room while the kitchen window seat provides views into the surrounding trees. Interior finishes include post-oak flooring, handmade ceramic tile, stone countertops, and custom millwork wainscoting, evoking a cottage-like domesticity that enhances the sense of solitude and rejuvenation from the pressures and stress of the everyday world.

Sited on a quiet street in Palo Alto, this new home is a warmer take on the popular modern farmhouse style. Rather than high contrast and white clapboard, earthy stucco and warm stained cedar set the scene of a forever home for an active and growing young family. The heart of the home is the large kitchen and living spaces opening the entire rear of the house to a lush, private backyard. Downstairs is a full basement, designed to be kid-centric with endless spaces for entertaining. A private master suite on the second level allows for quiet retreat from the chaos and bustle of everyday. Interior Design: Jeanne Moeschler Interior Design Photography: Reed Zelezny
