What simply started out as the purchase of a 30” Wolf gas stove to replace the old, turned into a complete kitchen renovation. The original intent was to replace the existing stove with the new. The new Wolf came other issues one being installing an adequate exhaust system to meet the needs of the stove. One thing led to the next and with that a new kitchen. The renovation included removing all existing fixtures, cabinetry and lighting. The existing tile floor remained the same but with some added area that was previously under existing base cabinets. The goal of the project, once the decision was made to do a complete renovation, was to update the kitchen creating an eclectic aesthetic with all new fixtures of the best quality that could be afforded. Listed below are the changes that were made. All fixtures remained in their existing locations other than removing small piece of wall that allowed an extended length of the new bakers table to extend 24” into the existing dining and living room space to pull the spaces together and provide a small eating bar with adjoining bar stools. One stool was a custom design and fabrication (Marlin Stool) Fixtures 1. Existing gas stove replaced with new 30” gas Wolf stove. 2. Existing Refrigerator replace with new 36” stainless steel Jen-Air refrigerator with bottom freezer. 3. Existing Dishwasher replace with new Jen-Air stainless steel interior and exterior dishwasher. 4. Existing base cabinets replaced with a combination of open and closed tables and cabinets.

The cabinets were Kraft Made traditional wood base cabinets with a Kaffe finish and Fireslate counter surface. These cabinets were customized with stainless steel perforated door inserts and Mockett stainless steel drawer and door pulls. 5. Surface counter and table material included wood butcher block, stainless steel and Fireslate. 6. Overhead shelving included open commercial kitchen stainless steel shelves and open Appleply wood shelves with Rakks aluminum shelf brackets. 7. Existing lighting was replaced with Zumtobel track lighting with Ushio lamps, Lutron dimmers and an up lighted coffered ceiling (see Superman). 8. Existing kitchen sink was replaced with a large single compartment sink from Kindred with an In-Sinkerator Evolution garbage disposal. Filter water tap was added that connects to an Everprue water filter system. 9. Walls were tiled with Bottle Green 4 1/4” x 4 1/4” Daltile to staying consistent with existing original house tile. 10. The ceiling was reworked as required with a plaster finish 11. Marine grade caulk was used as required. 12.

Eat-in kitchen - large traditional l-shaped dark wood floor eat-in kitchen idea in Chicago with a double-bowl sink, recessed-panel cabinets, medium tone wood cabinets, wood countertops, beige backsplash, mosaic tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances

This garage rooftop project is located in Red Hot Chicago's Lincoln Square area. This project sports one of our 10' fire-tables with offset 6' linear burner. A 55" 4K outdoor tv & 20 outdoor speakers with separate amp driven subwoofer. These fireproof retractable Deep Gray shades pillow from the pergolas roof. Alley side Privacy panels are frosted giving you the privacy but still allow filtered light to come in. A full kitchen and 12 seater dining area are just a few things on this bucket list!

This Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA bathroom renovation showcases a light-filled, coastal-inspired design with a clean and timeless aesthetic. A glass-enclosed shower with white subway tile and subtle mosaic accents pairs with beadboard wainscoting and soft gray walls to create a layered, inviting space. The marble vanity top and polished fixtures add refinement, while plantation shutters filter natural light for a bright, airy feel. Coastal details, including decorative accents above the window, complete this functional and elegant bathroom retreat.

To soften the light and give privacy, Hunter Douglas Silhouette shades were installed on these corner windows. Silhouette shades filter the light entering the room, and the vanes can be closed for privacy. To soften the hard surfaces in this bathroom, a sheer, casually draped swag treatment was artfully draped on stainless steel drapery hardware from the Aria Hardware collection..

Great room - zen brown floor great room idea in Pune with white walls

A typical post-1906 Noe Valley house is simultaneously restored, expanded and redesigned to keep what works and rethink what doesn’t. The front façade, is scraped and painted a crisp monochrome white—it worked. The new asymmetrical gabled rear addition takes the place of a windowless dead end box that didn’t. A “Great kitchen”, open yet formally defined living and dining rooms, a generous master suite, and kid’s rooms with nooks and crannies, all make for a newly designed house that straddles old and new.

Who wouldn't fall in love with the Water Street building, and the elegant industrial vibe? The light that floods in through the floor-to-ceiling windows makes this a perfect spot to entertain and host friends from California or adult kids who visit. The location can't be beat--these clients ride their bikes to meet friends for lunch or a tour through the Hirschhorn. We knocked down a wall to open the kitchen, and added modern furnishings punctuated by splashes of deep orangey-red. High contrast and lots of rich textures can be found throughout this urban loft.
