This true mid-century modern home was ready to be revived. The home was built in 1959 and lost its character throughout the various remodels over the years. Our clients came to us trusting that with our help, they could love their home again. This design is full of clean lines, yet remains playful and organic. The first steps in the kitchen were removing the soffit above the previous cabinets and reworking the cabinet layout. They didn't have an island before and the hood was in the middle of the room. They gained so much storage in the same square footage of kitchen. We started by incorporating custom flat slab walnut cabinetry throughout the home. We lightened up the rooms with bright white countertops and gave the kitchen a 3-dimensional emerald green backsplash tile. In the hall bathroom, we chose a penny round floor tile, a terrazzo tile installed in a grid pattern from floor-to-ceiling behind the floating vanity. The hexagon mirror and asymmetrical pendant light are unforgettable. We finished it with a frameless glass panel in the shower and crisp, white tile. In the master bath, we chose a wall-mounted faucet, a full wall of glass tile which runs directly into the shower niche and a geometric floor tile. Our clients can't believe this is the same home and they feel so lucky to be able to enjoy it every day.

Great grids! The simulated divided lite grids (a.k.a. muntins) in these Harvey Tribute double hung windows are done in a 4-over-1 pattern, a great choice for smaller windows like this, or for when you want grids but don't want to obstruct too much of your view.

Cedar roofing and wall shingles will patina to a soft gray as it weathers.

Jason Miller of Pixelate Ltd. A formal powder room that lost its luster gets a huge makeover and regains glamour with this complete revamp. Originally, the room housed an oddly placed round vanity that floated in the middle of the room, making for a very awkward walking space to the commode room. A window that looked out to the exterior of the home prior to a Sun Room addition was left in creating another mar in the potential this generously sized bath offered if laid out properly. During the renovation, the plumbing was moved to the far right wall and sconces flanked either side. The center fixture was replaced with a flush-mount that filled the space nicely while still accentuating the overall design. The inspiration for the asian-motif floral mural came from the foyer (the bath is directly off of it) and its original moldings and black and white palette dating to the late 20's, which although had been repainted, still maintained the feel of that period. The sweeping blossoms lend a sense of whimsy and the saturated backdrop gives the blooms a dewy effect as if kissed by moonlight. The goal was to have an eye drawing element in the foyer since the door would be left open most of the time and the was definitely achieved by the graphic use of texture and color in this bath.

What was once a blank canvas in the living room has now become a warm and energizing focal point. Our clients, lovers of literature, needed a home for their beloved book collection—and we delivered a space that’s as functional as it is beautiful. A full wall of custom built-ins now houses a thoughtful mix of open and closed storage, perfect for books, games, and personal treasures. But this isn’t just a bookcase. It’s an experience. By using the depth of the shelves to frame the passage into the dining room, we created a dramatic, immersive portal that draws you through the home. The shelves wrap you in a golden hug, painted in Sherwin-Williams Quilt Gold—a late-in-the-game color decision that ended up being one of the most joyful in the house. We paired Tedd Wood cabinetry with Amerock hardware to bring a polished, heritage feel to the built-ins while honoring the old-world charm we envisioned. It’s a nod to the classic libraries of another era, but with a vibrant twist that invites you to linger, explore, and get lost in a good book.

After a devastating fire destroyed this Woodinville, Washington home, the homeowners faced the unimaginable task of rebuilding their lives and their house from the ground up. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but the home itself could not be saved. Cutuli Homes had the privilege of walking alongside the homeowners through the rebuilding process—helping transform a heartbreaking loss into an opportunity to create a completely new home designed for the way they wanted to live today. Rather than simply recreate the dated house that had been lost, the homeowners chose to move forward. Working closely together, we created a home that feels modern, elegant, warm and distinctly Pacific Northwest—a place that acknowledges what came before while giving the family something beautiful to come home to again. The new open-concept kitchen and family room became the heart of the rebuilt home. A dramatic vaulted ceiling with dark-stained wood beams brings warmth and architectural definition to the light-filled space. The kitchen combines crisp white custom cabinetry, black accents, stainless-steel appliances, dark countertops, a generous contrasting island and contemporary pendant lighting. Large windows bring the surrounding Woodinville landscape into the home and fill the kitchen with natural light. The adjoining family room continues the home's understated Northwest aesthetic. A beautifully detailed fireplace creates a natural focal point, while the vaulted ceiling and exposed beams give the room a sense of scale without sacrificing warmth. The open relationship between the kitchen and living spaces was designed for everyday family life as well as entertaining. The bathrooms were given the same careful attention to craftsmanship and materials. Custom shaker-style cabinetry, stone countertops, patterned tile, soft gray finishes, oversized mirrors, black hardware and beautifully tiled tub and shower surrounds create spaces that feel sophisticated yet comfortable. Clean lines and a restrained palette give the bathrooms a quiet, spa-like quality that complements the rest of the home. Throughout the rebuilding process, our goal went far beyond constructing a new house. Losing a home to fire is deeply personal, and rebuilding requires countless decisions at a time when homeowners are already navigating an extraordinarily difficult experience. Cutuli Homes worked closely with the family throughout the process, helping guide the construction and turn their ideas for a fresh beginning into a home that could once again feel like theirs. The finished residence is not simply a replacement for what was lost. It represents a new chapter: a dated home transformed into a thoughtfully designed custom residence filled with light, craftsmanship and warmth. From ashes came an opportunity to create something beautiful—and, we hope, a little joy after tragedy. For more than 30 years, Cutuli Homes has built and remodeled custom homes throughout Woodinville, Seattle, the Eastside, King County, Snohomish County and the greater Puget Sound region, specializing in highly personalized residential construction, major renovations and custom craftsmanshi

This customer spent over 40 years building and renovating his home. In his younger days, he was an amazing building and craftsman. Recently, he suffered a stroke and lost the ability to build. He wants to leave his home to his daughter, so he planned one last renovation project. For this project, he wanted to choose a renovation company that could build a kitchen as well as he could. Luckily, he chose Wood Front Kitchens. He was thrilled with the result. He loved that we were able to keep storage features he had built in his previous cabinets and transfer them to the new cabinets. This homeowner chose shaker-style oak cabinets stained in Michels. He chose Amerock Conrad Square hardware in oil-rubbed bronze to give his rustic cabinets an industrial feel. He and his daughter are both pleased with the results, and with their huge increase in storage space.
