Bright new kitchen in our Roncesvalles reno! We combined grey quartz counter tops with white shaker cabinets and white penny round tiles with matching grey grout for subtle palette without being too stark. Clean lines, and minimal details ensure a sleek elevation.

The architects designed a unique pot rack to complement the custom pendant lamps at the center of this Pacific Heights kitchen. We brought their specifications to life with the crafting of an all-brass heavy-duty pot rack, brazed to maintain sharp corners. All parts were polished to a mirror finish and chrome-plated for a gleaming modern look.

This modest brick Rambler was dark in the Winter. What we thought was a lighting problem to solve, was really that of spacial arrangement and organization. The clutter with no place to store anything, made this interior seem so dark, and our interior design solution of custom built-ins made the space feel lighter and organized, along with adding a few extra lighting fixtures to the mix!

CliqStudios announces Connecticut homeowner David Bienashski’s dramatic kitchen transformation has won first place in the company’s Kitchen Showdown Makeover contest. In a tight race after online voting by CliqStudio Facebook followers, 10 kitchen entries featuring CliqStudio cabinets advanced to the final round. A panel of industry experts selected Bienashski’s kitchen as the winner, along with two runners up, based on three criteria: design, functionality and overall transformation. Bienashski, a contractor, completed his kitchen makeover as part of a whole-home remodeling project that included CliqStudios cabinetry in the kitchen, baths, bar and pool/entertainment area. Working online with Sammi Lindemann, a CliqStudios designer, Bienashski expanded the kitchen footprint, moving walls and adding windows to open the space and bring in natural light. The new layout improves the traffic flow from the kitchen to the living space and pool area. To create extra storage while keeping with the clean Shaker-style lines, the design called for extra deep upper cabinets to be recessed into the wall, concealing an additional four inches of functional space. The result is hidden storage inside the sleek appearance of a standard depth cabinet. Bienashski chose CliqStudio’s Dayton Painted White door style for his kitchen.

Phase 2 of our Modern Cottage project was the complete renovation of a small, impractical kitchen and dining nook. The client asked for a fresh, bright kitchen with natural light, a pop of color, and clean modern lines. The resulting kitchen features all of the above and incorporates fun details such as a scallop tile backsplash behind the range and artisan touches such as a custom walnut island and floating shelves; a custom metal range hood and hand-made lighting. This kitchen is all that the client asked for and more!

This classical coastal home with architectural details to match has well-placed windows to capture the amazing lakeside views of the property. The 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath home was designed with an open floor plan to provide a casual flow from space to space and affording each room with waterside views. Lakeside blue, grey and white hues are incorporated into the home’s color palette and interspersed with warm wood tones. The classic and efficient custom kitchen with two large islands accommodates day to day living with multiple workspaces and ensures effortless entertaining for larger gatherings. Creative storage solutions are incorporated throughout the kitchen with custom tray dividers, pull outs for spices and pantry items, and wine storage. The home boasts beautiful tile work and detailed trim and built ins throughout. A gorgeous wood burning fireplace in the living room creates a warm gathering space for this young family of four. Though this project is a new build, it maintains an inviting, sense of home and feels as though the family has lived here for years.

PebbleTec® Tahoe Blue pool built by Texas Pools. Builder Paul Ryan said,“They were anticipating a 'country cottage' feel to this home when they purchased it. They were never really happy with it, until the pool showed up! The pool needed to feel like a meandering stream as it made its way down to the lower level. Views were important, and keeping the rear pond view was paramount. So, by manipulating the shape of the pool, adding an oversize flag stone shelf in the water, and providing a soothing 'trickling' waterfall, the image was complete. From the rear patio it looks and feels like you are sitting next to a back country stream. The design of the house was a bit unusual in that the rear patio angled back towards the other side of the house. This made it extremely difficult to design the pool in such a way that it seemed to be a meandering stream and still make it a functional swim space. The large flagstone tanning shelf did the trick and added that little bit of extra realism for the home owners.”

This is the Catio designed for my clients 5 adopted kitties with issues. She came to me to install a vestibule between her garage and the family room which were not connected. I designed that area and when she also wanted to take the room she was currently using as the littler box room into a library I came up with using the extra space next to the new vestibule for the cats. The living room contains a custom tree with 5 cat beds, a chair for people to sit in and the sofa tunnel I designed for them to crawl through and hide in. I designed steps that they can use to climb up to the wooden bridge so they can look at the birds eye to eye out in the garden. My client is an artist and painted portraits of the cats that are on the walls. We installed a door with a frosted window and a hole cut in the bottom which leads into another room which is strictly the litter room. we have lots of storage and two Litter Robots that are enough to take care of all their needs. I installed a functional transom window that she can keep open for fresh air. We also installed a mini split air conditioner if they are in there when it is hot. They all seem to love it! They live in the rest of the house and this room is only used if the client is entertaining so she doesn't have to worry about them getting out. It is attached to the family room which is shown here in the foreground, so they can keep an eye on us while we keep an eye on them.
