Reminiscent of a villa in south of France, this Old World yet still sophisticated home are what the client had dreamed of. The home was newly built to the client’s specifications. The wood tone kitchen cabinets are made of butternut wood, instantly warming the atmosphere. The perimeter and island cabinets are painted and captivating against the limestone counter tops. A custom steel hammered hood and Apex wood flooring (Downers Grove, IL) bring this room to an artful balance.

When this suburban family decided to renovate their kitchen, they knew that they wanted a little more space. Advance Design worked together with the homeowner to design a kitchen that would work for a large family who loved to gather regularly and always ended up in the kitchen! So the project began with extending out an exterior wall to accommodate a larger island and more moving-around space between the island and the perimeter cabinetry. Style was important to the cook, who began collecting accessories and photos of the look she loved for months prior to the project design. She was drawn to the brightness of whites and grays, and the design accentuated this color palette brilliantly with the incorporation of a warm shade of brown woods that originated from a dining room table that was a family favorite. Classic gray and white cabinetry from Dura Supreme hits the mark creating a perfect balance between bright and subdued. Hints of gray appear in the bead board detail peeking just behind glass doors, and in the application of the handsome floating wood shelves between cabinets. White subway tile is made extra interesting with the application of dark gray grout lines causing it to be a subtle but noticeable detail worthy of attention. Suede quartz Silestone graces the countertops with a soft matte hint of color that contrasts nicely with the presence of white painted cabinetry finished smartly with the brightness of a milky white farm sink. Old melds nicely with new, as antique bronze accents are sprinkled throughout hardware and fixtures, and work together unassumingly with the sleekness of stainless steel appliances. The grace and timelessness of this sparkling new kitchen maintains the charm and character of a space that has seen generations past. And now this family will enjoy this new space for many more generations to come in the future with the help of the team at Advance Design Studio. Dura Supreme Cabinetry Photographer: Joe Nowak

To the left of the foyer is the homes private master suite featuring a roomy study, expansive dressing room, and bedroom. The dining room is surrounded on three sides by large windows and a pair of French doors open onto a separate outdoor grill space. The kitchen island, with seating for seven, is strategically placed on axis to the living room fireplace and the dining room table.

Selected as the cover and featured story of a recent book on Country Swedish architecture, this one story Palo Alto home got a 2nd story addition, as well as a nearly complete makeover of the original structure. The search for authenticity led us to go to great lengths in order to accommodate the client's extensive Swedish antiques collection. The exterior walls were painted to match a Swedish king's famous summer palace with a paint we found in Australia with a high lye content, guaranteed to produce the patina of age in just a few years. In front of the house, a copse of birch trees were planted, and the residence is entered through a fairytale courtyard complete with a babbling brook. Once inside the ancient round-top door, one finds the interior now organized by a series of arches, and walks on stone which was once the walls of a demolished French chateau. Further into the residence, stone gives way to pine plank flooring, reclaimed from logs found sunken in a Georgia swamp, so both gloriously old-growth, and ecologically green by virtue of having been reclaimed. The owners' impressive antiques abound, enhanced by a new living room fireplace surround, hand-plastered just as it would be in a fine Swedish country home, and trimmed out by tiles hand-painted by a craftsman in Holland, in the style once popular in Sweden. Up the new stairs, one finds a arch-top feature window, subtly obscured to prevent privacy issues with the neighbors, and plat-panelled newels we designed to mimic the country Swedish style. The upstairs features a subtly up-to-date home office with commanding views of the neighborhood, ,and a master bedroom featuring an antique bedstead centered under a ocular window which lets early morning light gently sweep through the space.

The upper level features two bedroom suites and a bunk room, with space over the detached garage providing a private guest suite.
