This light and airy kitchen is the definition of elegance. It has white shaker cabinets with satin gold pulls topped with white quartz counters. The matching white quartz backsplash provides a clean look. The center piece of the room is the large island! With seating for four, the deep blue island is loaded with storage and has a drawer microwave. For a special touch on the white quartz counter, we used an extra thick quartz slab. The striking gold pendants are from Ferguson Lighting. Sleek and contemporary, this beautiful home is located in Villanova, PA. Blue, white and gold are the palette of this transitional design. With custom touches and an emphasis on flow and an open floor plan, the renovation included the kitchen, family room, butler’s pantry, mudroom, two powder rooms and floors.

Located on farmland in McLean, Virginia, the American Farmhouse balances the expected comforts of a new home with the bucolic beauty of an old farmhouse. The final site plan still has evidence showing parallel courses of the barn’s destiny. The house mass is broken and lowered so that the home can remain secondary to the monolithic barn structure. Earthy and elemental materials are selected for the home that reference the barn without directly mimicking it. Wooden members found inside the barn and from other barns bridge ceilings and are used in floors along with rustic slate adding to a sense of simplicity to the farmhouse design. The age and patina of the barn is reflected in the house’s textural use of board and batten and field stone layered similar to stone foundations. The original development plan was to demolish the existing barn and construct three suburban homes. Part of an endangered breed, as one of the few remaining barns in the area, it was originally viewed as a challenge in a luxury home construction with several difficulties posed to the impending project: it would be expensive to renovate, vulnerable to demolition, and threatened by urban sprawl. However, instead of trying to alter or destroy the barn, the structure was fully embraced into the traditional architecture project as a centerpiece and was used as the inspiration for the home. The new house was sited parallel to the barn so that views to the barn gable were accessible.

Study room - small rustic built-in desk dark wood floor study room idea in Orlando with yellow walls and no fireplace

Another view of this beachfront family room showcases the multiple seating areas and options for cozy conversation or family game night! The mix of patterns in the accent chair and the accent pillows is anchored by the striped rug, sofa, and chair-and-a-half. The homeowners' artwork gave us inspiration to play with colors and textures while not distracting from the amazing views from the impact-glass windows. The colors of the sunset and the sky are reflected throughout the room.

The living room, while a bit more formal than the family room, is a wonderfully comfortable place to relax or entertain. There are multiple seating options, between the swivel chairs, upholstered in a fun pattern, to the nailhead embellished sofa and its mix of colorful accent pillows, to the clever ottoman that doubles as an accent table. There is a mix of textures with the selenite side table, the dark wood sliding table, and the whimsical metal light fixture hanging from the custom cabinetry. This excellent photo shows off the homeowners' artwork in both the living room and dining areas while also showcasing the color palette carried out throughout the house, a soothing, sophisticated blend of oceanic hues and sunset shades. The translucent light fixtures over the kitchen island and the globular chandelier over the dining table add their own sparkle and shine without taking away from the surroundings.
