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.”

Bryon Berrier of Reico Kitchen and Bath in Timonium, MD collaborated with R Solomon Construction to design a transitional style inspired primary bathroom featuring Masterpiece cabinetry. The cabinets feature the Bolton door style in Maple in a Translucent Driftwood finish, complemented by Silestone Etheral Haze quartz vanity tops. Fixture selections for the bathroom are Kohler provided by GROF. After remodeling the client's kitchen, Bryon was contacted to update the primary bathroom. "The original design had two separate rooms: one for the vanity and drop-in tub, and another for the shower and toilet, separated by a wall. We removed a wall to create a more open space, making the shower area feel less enclosed and used a free-standing tub to reduce crowding," Bryon explained. "My favorite part is how well the materials coordinate and the use of Matte Black Hardware. I enjoyed working with the clients because they had a clear vision for the remodel and were easy to collaborate with.” Photos courtesy of BTW Images.

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.” Photos courtesy of ShowSpaces Photography.

Alice Mulvey from Reico Kitchen & Bath in Wilmington, NC, designed a cottage-style kitchen remodel featuring Yorktowne Cabinetry in the Evan door style with a Bay Leaf painted finish. The space is complemented by Calacatta Elysio quartz countertops and a matching backsplash with ledge. The clients shared, “We are absolutely thrilled with our kitchen renovation. The transformation in our total home remodel is incredible. Our Yorktowne Cabinetry is beautifully crafted, and the Bay Leaf finish really enhances the space. Alice Mulvey played a big part in the success of our project. Thanks to her guidance on cabinet placement, end cup ideas, and ways to maximize space, we ended up with a beautiful and functional kitchen. We are grateful for her insight and the Reico Team. Alice also communicated clearly and consistently throughout the process.” Alice explained, “The clients knew exactly what they wanted and were easy to work with. Their goal was to maximize storage in a very small space. Communication was excellent, which made the whole process smooth and easy.” Photos courtesy of Shoot to Sell Media.

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.” Photos courtesy of The Sowder Group.

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!

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."

Traditional Kitchen Renovation & Design Of A First Floor Ranch. See what our client say about Paul Lopa Designs: It went as smooth as it possibly could go. The only bumps in the road was with what we found during demolition, you never know what your gonna run into when all the walls,floors and fixtures come out. Paul had explained to us that depending on what we found under all the out dated stuff it might take a little longer. Paul was there doing the work with his workers he showed up on time and finished on schedule. It was no problem being in touch with Paul because he answered his phone or got back to us in a timely fashion. He has an excellent sense of design he knows what goes well together and makes the house flow with comfort and usability. (R)Haw Ron

This mosaic art tile is from a Houston outdoor kitchen and entertaining area offering a modern take on Mediterranean style. Designed and built by Outdoor Homescapes of Houston, this fully loaded family and entertaining space echoes the stucco, travertine tile patio and Mediterranean style of the existing home while exuding a more modern, transitional style. “This was a high-profile client – both VPs of different oil and gas companies who entertain affluent guests on a regular basis – so they wanted to make sure they had high-end appliances and all the latest amenities they could order,” says Lisha Maxey, senior designer for Outdoor Homescapes and owner of LGH Design Services in Houston. “They also have two kids, ages 7 and 10, and wanted a family gathering space that better accompanied their new, luxurious pool.” What really sets apart this outside kitchen design idea, however, is the way the elements are used throughout the space. “Usually, outdoor kitchen designs for a backyard are grouped into one island or cabinet,” explains Outdoor Homescapes of Houston owner Wayne Franks. “But here, the patio, roof and fireplace were all in place, separated by stucco columns, and the outdoor kitchen elements had to work around them.” A 14-foot-long cooking island houses a built-in Fire Magic grill with a Magic View Window (allows the chef to check on food without lifting the lid and losing valuable heat). The island, the countertop of which is "Carnaval" granite from Lackstone, also features a Fire Magic power burner, warming drawer and trash drawer. On one side of the fireplace, forming an “L” with the cooking island, sits a built-in Primo ceramic grill. On the other side of the fireplace is a 3-foot-long cabinet housing a bar with a wine cooler, ice maker and upper cabinet. And finally, just outside the patio door is a 7-foot-long cabinet with a modern Kohler sink with a high-arc Moen faucet (sink and faucet from Faucets Direct), a trash drawer and another upper cabinet. Outdoor Homescapes of Houston, by the way, outfitted both cabinets with glass inserts, custom pulls and three-way sensor lighting. “At the beginning, this was basically a blank space with a fireplace in the middle,” says Maxey. So Outdoor Homescapes upgraded the fireplace with Austin Stack Stone in white (No. 401) from Colorstonescreenshot vickers mosaic tile rectangle. "The stone added that pop,” notes Maxey. The fireplace’s espresso-colored, distressed wood mantel (from Mantels.com) and upper wood cabinets were both stained with the Minwax color Jacobean. The ceiling fans were also updated with ones featuring similarly espresso-colored, wooden fan blades, to match. The table in the middle - a cast-iron, Mediterranean style gem with hand-forged scrollwork designs from Patio 1 in Houston – seats 10. “We wanted this kind of Mediterranean feel,” says Maxey. “We wanted rustic, but the appliance package was so new, with all its stainless steel, so we kept a the cabinets and the columns stucco instead of stone for a more clean, modern look and then did the custom tile backsplash and mosaic in more of a rustic, Mediterranean look." The backsplash is a 1-inch travertine tile background with 4-inch square metallic insets, both from Floor & Decor. The tile for the 18-by-24-inch rectangle mosaic came from Great Britain Tile Co. and included a Dianno Reale tumbled border and background. The bronze, diamond-shaped insets are tumbled Dark Emperdor tile and the scrolls are tumbled Noce tile. The client, who admits they have high standards, was more than pleased with the project – especially browsing through Outdoor Homescapes’ vast library of patio kitchen design ideas, the 3D virtual video tour that let them preview the project from every angle before construction. They also liked the personalized design consultation. "OH provides a very neat service where one of their designers will either shop/buy for you or shop with you for the more detailed pieces that will finish your home," reads the client's review on Houzz. "This was a very positive, personalized feature ... Lisha helped narrow down an enormous marketplace of materials and finishes to a few we could choose from."

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."
