Ann Kenkel Interiors Coastal Estate in St. Michael's Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay. House was designed after the original 1770's house on the property. Home was designed to be a formal house but was now being used as a weekend retreat. Ann Kenkel had to decorate the house in a manner which was coastal enough so owner's felt like they were on vacation yet formal enough for the style of the house. AK found the house filled with wallpaper from the 1980's. Wallpaper from every room was removed and all trim had to be painted a neutral color. The formal dining room only had one entry. AK opened up a second entry into the dining room which provided a view of the Chesapeake Bay.

Set in a serene, light-filled modern home, this kitchen exudes both warmth and bold sophistication. At the heart of it all is a 42" hand-finished stainless steel Paragon™ workstation sink by Rachiele®—a showpiece that redefines what it means to cook in comfort and style. Designed for seamless performance and intuitive use, the sink offers a dual-tier ledge system that transforms it from a simple basin into a fully integrated prep zone. From chopping and rinsing to plating and cleaning, every task flows effortlessly thanks to custom-fit accessories that move along the interior ledge system. The gleaming stainless steel sink makes a striking statement against the deep, dramatic veining of the black soapstone island. Paired with a matte black extended-reach faucet and a matching air switch, the entire workstation reads as both refined and powerful. Each element was selected not just for its visual impact, but for how it supports the rhythm of daily life in the kitchen—from quick weekday breakfasts to sprawling weekend dinner prep. Every detail of this space was curated with intention: the crisp cabinetry, the understated lighting, and the seamless view out to the treetops all reinforce the idea that a kitchen should be as beautiful as it is functional. Crafted in the USA and built to last, the Paragon™ sink doesn’t just meet expectations—it elevates them.

The kitchen has white cabinetry, a white subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, including a refrigerator, microwave, and range. Gold-toned hardware, including a faucet and two pendant lights above the island, adds a touch of elegance. A glass door on the left leads to an outdoor area, allowing natural light to fill the space. Decorative plates and artwork adorn the wall above the counter.

This dining room design in Raleigh, NC proves that traditional style is anything but dated. Our team at Lavish transformed the formal dining room with a showstopping detail overhead: a chinoiserie botanical wallpaper applied to the tray ceiling, framed by layered crown molding and soft blue walls with classic wainscoting. The clients' mahogany Chippendale dining set and antique sideboard were honored rather than replaced — refreshed with Greek key upholstered seats, a gilded leaf chandelier, black-shaded buffet lamps, an equestrian oil painting, and a collected arrangement of majolica and porcelain plates on the walls. Floral drapery and a soft antique-style rug complete this elegant space for entertaining. Across the hall, the sitting room design leans into the same collected, heirloom sensibility. A tufted leather Chesterfield sofa sits beneath a floor-to-ceiling gallery wall of gold-framed art, vintage posters, and family treasures, while an antique secretary desk, brass bamboo nesting tables, and playful patterned pillows keep the room personal and warm. A sculptural gold leaf pendant adds just enough sparkle overhead. As a full-service interior design firm in Raleigh, NC, Lavish specializes in working with what clients love — blending inherited antiques and personal collections with new wallpaper, lighting, drapery, and styling to create interiors that feel layered, storied, and completely their own.
