Pairing their love of Mid-Century Modern design and collecting with the enjoyment they get out of entertaining at home, this client’s kitchen remodel in Linda Vista hit all the right notes. Set atop a hillside with sweeping views of the city below, the first priority in this remodel was to open up the kitchen space to take full advantage of the view and create a seamless transition between the kitchen, dining room, and outdoor living space. A primary wall was removed and a custom peninsula/bar area was created to house the client’s extensive collection of glassware and bar essentials on a sleek shelving unit suspended from the ceiling and wrapped around the base of the peninsula. Light wood cabinetry with a retro feel was selected and provided the perfect complement to the unique backsplash which extended the entire length of the kitchen, arranged to create a distinct ombre effect that concentrated behind the Wolf range. Subtle brass fixtures and pulls completed the look while panels on the built in refrigerator created a consistent flow to the cabinetry. Additionally, a frosted glass sliding door off of the kitchen disguises a dedicated laundry room full of custom finishes. Raised built-in cabinetry houses the washer and dryer to put everything at eye level, while custom sliding shelves that can be hidden when not in use lessen the need for bending and lifting heavy loads of laundry. Other features include built-in laundry sorter and extensive storage.

Most ranges these days are insulated well enough that spices stored in a cabinet next to the range will not suffer a reduced shelf life. (We do suggest getting some small round labels at an office supply store and labeling the tops of the jars for better visibility when storing spices below eye level.)

This kitchen design in East Lansing proves that your kitchen style should be personalized to your needs to achieve a beautiful and functional space that fits the requirements of your household. The Glacier Gray Purestyle laminate Aristokraft kitchen cabinets offer ample storage including a narrow pull-out spice rack and corner cabinet with a lazy susan. At the center of this design is a unique "dorm-sized" refrigerator installed at eye level in a customized cabinet design. This homeowners preferred to maximize storage in the kitchen by only keeping what they need in the kitchen refrigerator, and instead rely on a secondary refrigerator in the garage for additional cold storage. The gray cabinetry is accented by Jeffrey Alexander hardware and an SSU quartz countertop. The subway tile backsplash from Virginia Tile is a classic addition to this design, along with the double bowl undermount sink and Kohler single lever faucet. Homecrest flooring in luxury vinyl tile complements the space with a durable and low maintenance floor, and GE appliances fit perfectly in the design.

The couple each had their own wish lists. Hers was focused on aesthetics and was very clear: a contrasting combo of dark and crisp-white tile along with warm wood, soft bronze plumbing finishes, and an elegant soaking tub. His list was all about the shower. He wanted to match the experience of a luxury hotel shower. Design objectives: -Open up the space and omit heavy millwork details -Furniture-style vanity in a warm wood finish -Classic neutral palette -Ample storage for toiletries and towels -Luxurious modern technology, especially in the shower THE REMODEL “I’m not good at coming up with ideas,” the homeowner focused on the shower told us. “I like it when someone taps into my idea and gives me the options of what I’m looking for. That’s what Diana did for me and the shower while making my wife’s clear vision for everything else happen.” Once the goals were clear, Diana identified the project’s challenges and solutions so the Drury Design installation team could make the remodel a reality. Design challenges: -Expand and open up the shower in a way that lets in more light -Continue crown molding from the rest of the home – solve for how this could work around the shower -More storage solutions in the same space -Create an elegant, streamlined look that unifies all of the new elements Design solutions: -Adding a soffit above the shower area allows crown molding to flow continuously -Large Robern medicine cabinets offer convenient eye-level storage while freeing up vanity space. The mirrors on both sides of the inner medicine cabinet make them bright and sleek without having to be lit. -Open elegance – spacious tone and feel created by free-standing tub highlighted by a large wall mirror and oversized sconces -White quartz with black and bronze veining ties all the materials together -Warm, contrasting character of walnut adds a nice infusion of nature into the spa-like space THE RENEWED SPACE This elegant bathroom is all about symmetry and well-thought-out details. A classic, spa-like appeal emanates from simple beveled subway tile, herringbone patterns in the floor and shower niches, and the gorgeous walnut vanity. The result is a beautiful bathroom that checks all the boxes from the homeowners’ original wish lists.

Transitional Kitchen taken from late 1950's to contemporary today. We opted to take down a wall separating the mudroom from the kitchen which allowed us to put in this pretty bar peninsula with overhead bar cook-top vent. Where you see the refrigerator used to be a very small pantry and we cleverly put floor to ceiling cabinets to house many kitchen items. The microwave is skillfully hidden behind two doors and at eye level.

A custom panel-ready refrigerator keeps the space feeling warm and inviting. A bottom freezer model allows for easy access and keeps all refrigerator items up at eye level. Koch Cabinetry from Village Home Stores in a custom home by Tim Dolan Development.
