If I were to explain the atmosphere in this home, I’d say it’s happy. Natural light, unbelievable view of Lake Murray, the mountains, the green hills, the sky – I used those natural colors as inspiration to come up with a palette for this project. As a result, we were brave enough to go with 3 cabinet colors (natural, oyster and olive), a gorgeous blue granite that’s named Azurite (a very powerful crystal), new appliance layout, raised ceiling, and a hole in the wall (butler’s window) … quite a lot, considering that client’s original goal was to just reface the existing cabinets (see before photos).
This remodel turned out to be the most accurate representation of my clients, their way of life and what they wanted to highlight in a space so dear to them. You truly feel like you’re in an English countryside cottage with stellar views, quaint vibe and accessories suitable for any modern family. We love the final result and can’t get enough of that warm abundant light!

Christine Wade from Reico Kitchen & Bath in Salem, VA, partnered with Dennis Roberts to design a transitional kitchen featuring Yorktowne Cabinetry in the Millgate door style with a White Icing finish.
The kitchen also includes Cambria Praa Sands countertops, 3x9 Sonoma Aquarius tile with #20 Eggshell grout, and Frigidaire appliances.
The clients shared, “We completely redesigned our kitchen and could not be happier with the results. Our Reico salesperson listened to our ideas and concerns and offered several design options. She helped us choose a layout that is both beautiful and functional, and a better fit than the original design. While the remodel was challenging at times, we are so glad we did it.”
Christine explained, “The client wanted a desk in the kitchen for extra workspace during the week, but it wouldn’t fit in the layout. Instead, we created a built-in desk that can be closed off during entertaining and blends in with the rest of the space.”

Designed by Sepi Zanjani of Reico Kitchen & Bath in Richmond, VA, this transitional two-finish kitchen design features Merillat Masterpiece cabinets in the Fairlane door style with 5 piece drawer front in 2 wood species and finishes. The perimeter kitchen cabinets feature Maple with a Canvas finish. The kitchen island cabinets feature Cherry with a Molasses finish.
Kitchen countertops are granite in the color White Ornamental with a 1/4" beveled edge and Kohler Simplice 596-VS faucet. The kitchen also features a Serpentine Accord SA96 tile backsplash.
According to the client, "Our kitchen was very small before and now we have a lot of space and the islands adds so much to the layout. Sepi had so many great ideas and suggestions. She had a great vision on how the kitchen would look and explained everything in detail. We told her things we wanted and didn't want and she was very accommodating to all our wants and needs."

For this Stuart mission, the wall had to go. We engineered a high-functioning open concept featuring a dedicated Coffee Station with a prep sink to keep the main Jumbo Quartzite island clear. We used 36-inch drawer bases for massive storage and a floor-to-ceiling pantry—no upper cabinets needed. As the owners say in the video, Wife Loves it!
The unscripted video testimonial is the ultimate "Visual Ledger"—it turns a high-end photo into undeniable proof of your honesty and craftsmanship. Seeing the Miller family explain the "Relief" of finally having the wall removed and the kitchen designed to perfection is what converts a browser into a client. Linking directly to that Miller "Original Print" Video on Houzz is the smartest move you've made today. It shows the real people behind the 36" drawer bases and the hidden hood vent, proving you are the "Once and Done" specialist they can trust.

Jennifer Hazen from Reico Kitchen and Bath in Charlottesville, VA, collaborated with Salone Construction to create a contemporary kitchen and beverage bar design featuring Merillat Masterpiece cabinetry.
The kitchen cabinets feature the Martel door style in an Evercore Dove white finish, while the beverage bar and range wall doors are Cherry in a Slate stain. The countertop is Caesarstone Noble Grey engineered quartz.
Jennifer's favorite aspects of this kitchen design revolved around the "contrasting dark cabinet doors on painted white cabinets on the range wall. The client came up with this idea, and I was all in. Flip-up stacked doors at the double oven and beverage bar, along with the oversized kitchen island, allowed us to utilize every available square inch of the quartz slab!"
Jennifer also highlighted the significance of open communication with the client during this project. "She would send over pictures of her vision, explaining why she liked an idea, and it helped me tremendously in the process of making her dream kitchen a reality."

This steeply sloped property was converted into a backyard retreat through the use of natural and man-made stone. The natural gunite swimming pool includes a sundeck and waterfall and is surrounded by a generous paver patio, seat walls and a sunken bar. A Koi pond, bocce court and night-lighting provided add to the interest and enjoyment of this landscape.
This beautiful redesign was also featured in the Interlock Design Magazine. Explained perfectly in ICPI, “Some spa owners might be jealous of the newly revamped backyard of Wayne, NJ family: 5,000 square feet of outdoor living space, complete with an elevated patio area, pool and hot tub lined with natural rock, a waterfall bubbling gently down from a walkway above, and a cozy fire pit tucked off to the side. The era of kiddie pools, Coleman grills and fold-up lawn chairs may be officially over.”

A/C Tune-Up Completed | Mesa, AZ
Client: Dan and Nanette
Location: Mesa, AZ
Scope of Work: A/C tune-up, full system inspection, written recommendations
Dan and Nanette booked an A/C tune-up to have their system looked over by a technician before the next demanding stretch of Arizona weather.
Javier worked through the full inspection: coolant levels and pressure, thermostat calibration, wiring, contacts, capacitors and relays, the evaporator coil, condenser cleaning, the condensate drain, the outdoor disconnect, the condenser fan motor and blades, and compressor performance at startup.
Compressor startup is one of the most telling checks in the whole visit. It is the moment a system works hardest, and watching it come on tells a technician a great deal about the condition of the equipment.
Javier finished with a written recommendation covering anything worth addressing, and took the time to explain what could be improved and why, so Dan and Nanette can decide what makes sense for their home.
Dan and Nanette, thank you for having us out.
And thank you for the 5 star review. Thorough work and clear explanations are what Javier aims for on every visit.
Ready for your seasonal tune-up? Olive Air and Heating serves Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek and the East Valley.

AVENTURA MAGAZINE selected our client’s luxury 5000 Sf ocean front apartment in Miami Beach, to publish it in their issue and they Said:
Story by Linda Marx, Photography by Daniel Newcomb
Light & Bright
New York snowbirds redesigned their Miami Beach apartment to take advantage of the tropical lifestyle.
WHEN INTERIOR DESIGNER JENNIFER CORREDOR was asked to recreate a four-bedroom, six-bath condominium at The Bath Club in Miami Beach, she seized the opportunity to open the rooms and better utilize the vast ocean views.
In five months last year, the designer transformed a dark and closed 5,000-square-foot unit located on a high floor into a series of sweeping waterfront spaces and updated the well located apartment into a light and airy retreat for a sports-loving family of five.
“They come down from New York every other weekend and wanted to make their waterfront home a series of grand open spaces,” says Corrredor, of the J. Design Group in Coral Gables, a firm specializing in modern and contemporary interiors. “Since many of the rooms face the ocean, it made sense to open and lighten up the home, taking advantage of the awesome views of the sea and the bay.”
The designer used 40 x 40 all white tile throughout the apartment as a clean base. This way, her sophisticated use of color would stand out and bring the outdoors in.
The close-knit family members—two parents and three boys in college—like to do things together. But there were situations to overcome in the process of modernizing and opening the space. When Corredor was briefed on their desires, nothing seemed too daunting. The confident designer was ready to delve in. For example, she fixed an area at the front door
that was curved. “The wood was concave so I straightened it out,” she explains of a request from the clients. “It was an obstacle that I overcame as part of what I do in a redesign. I don’t consider it a difficult challenge. Improving what I see is part of the process.”
She also tackled the kitchen with gusto by demolishing a wall. The kitchen had formerly been enclosed, which was a waste of space and poor use of available waterfront ambience. To create a grand space linking the kitchen to the living room and dining room area, something had to go. Once the wall was yesterday’s news, she relocated the refrigerator and freezer (two separate appliances) to the other side of the room. This change was a natural functionality in the new open space. “By tearing out the wall, the family has a better view of the kitchen from the living and dining rooms,” says Corredor, who also made it easier to walk in and out of one area and into the other. “The views of the larger public space and the surrounding water are breathtaking.
Opening it up changed everything.”
They clients can now see the kitchen from the living and dining areas, and at the same time, dwell in an airy and open space instead of feeling stuck in a dark enclosed series of rooms. In fact, the high-top bar stools that Corredor selected for the kitchen can be twirled around to use for watching TV in the living room.
In keeping with the theme of moving seamlessly from one room to the other, Corredor designed a subtle wall of glass in the living room along with lots of comfortable seating. This way, all family members feel at ease while relaxing, talking, or watching sporting events on the large flat screen television. “For this room, I wanted more open space, light and a supreme airy feeling,” she says. “With the glass design making a statement, it quickly became the star of the show.”…….
….. To add texture and depth, Jennifer Corredor custom created wood doors here, and in other areas of the home. They provide a nice contrast to the open Florida tropical feel. “I added character to the openness by using exotic cherry wood,” she says. “I repeated this throughout the home and it works well.”
Known for capturing the client’s vision while adding her own innovative twists, Jennifer Corredor lightened the family room, giving it a contemporary and modern edge with colorful art and matching throw pillows on the sofas. She added a large beige leather ottoman as the center coffee table in the room. This round piece was punctuated with a bold-toned flowering plant atop. It effortlessly matches the pillows and colors of the contemporary canvas.

Nancy Knickerbocker of Reico Kitchen and Bath in Southern Pines, NC designed a transitional kitchen design featuring Merillat Classic cabinetry.
The kitchen cabinets are in the Ralston door style with a Steel Grey finish, complimented with Caesarstone Taj Royal countertops.
The kitchen also includes Kohler Undertone undermount single-bowl D-shape kitchen sink, Kohler Graze faucet and Top Knobs Ash Grey hardware.
"We added accessories to make this small kitchen more functional," explained Nancy.
"By reducing the size of the sink base and opting for a D-shape sink, we created space for a trash cabinet. A wall filler near the range was changed to a spice pullout, transforming wasted corner space into storage. We installed a full lazy susan in the base corner cabinet by the range and a half-moon lazy susan by the dishwasher. I enjoyed the challenge of maximizing space, and I believe we succeeded.”
