The portico was decorated with two raspberry red glazed terracotta planters with egg-shaped crowns. The large planters (measuring 4 feet) contained eggplant-colored Crinum and a local strawberry-colored Fragaria (pink Panda), while the small planters (28 inches high) contained blue Ruellia simplex.

A warm Tuscan color pallet was chosen for all exterior walls: warm gold for the portico, butter honey cream on stucco walls, and sand on all architectural accent lines. New outdoor lighting fixtures were installed on the walls: anchor bronze pendant lamps with amber-even-opaque-antique glass.

Our days at the beach house are softer and easier. The choice of oak as a primary material in a home can encourage the relaxed life. Oaks’ durability, and environmental sustainability, allow for cabinets and furniture which require minimum care and upkeep. Through creative staining, and artfully crafted details, oak eases and engages the eye. Custom designed cabinetry fulfills the promise of oak’s great heritage.

The space was designed to be both formal and relaxed for intimate get-togethers as well as casual family time. The full height windows and transoms fulfill the client’s desire for an abundance of natural light. Chesney’s Contre Coeur interior fireplace metal panel with custom mantel takes center stage in this sophisticated space.

When Monsignor wanted to remodel the kitchen in the rectory, he called upon George, owner of A.G. Remodeling and Building, LLC. Together with Magazi Kitchen and Bath, we designed and installed a personalized kitchen to fulfill Monsignor’s requirements which were as follows: First, he wanted to keep his two 36” refrigerators which we were able to move into an alcove. Second, he wanted an island which we were able to accomplish by taking in a closet to enlarge the foot print of the kitchen. Third, we recommended all wood cabinets, shaker style in a honey stain as he desired a kitchen with earthy tones, not too expensive, and lots of storage. We achieved this with Wolf Classic full overlay Shaker doors with 42" tall wall cabinets, utility cabinets having pull out drawers and lots of drawer base cabinets with under mount soft close glides. He was very happy with the quality of the cabinets, the amount of storage and the price point. Fourth, Monsignor wanted a working kitchen, as he enjoys cooking. We installed a GE built-in 30” convection oven and microwave, a 36” cook top, and a 36” stainless steel vent with a capacity of 725 cfm, we were able to fulfill his request. Fifth, he was very active in selecting his floor tiles, porcelain Centec Cotta Teja; counter top, Silestone Mountain Mist; backsplash, Temple Brick with random religious inserts; and even his knobs, Rung Pulls in brushed satin nickel by Top Knobs. Working with him was quite an experience. With professional installation and creative design, Monsignor’s remodeled kitchen was not only beautiful but functional, just the way he wanted it. It was gratifying to know that we had exceeded Monsignor’s expectations. Call Mary to arrange a free consultation to turn your space into just what you want - 301-913-0286!

The existing U-shaped kitchen was tucked away in a small corner while the dining table was swimming in a room much too large for its size. The client’s needs and the architecture of the home made it apparent that the perfect design solution for the home was to swap the spaces. The homeowners entertain frequently and wanted the new layout to accommodate a lot of counter seating, a bar/buffet for serving hors d’oeuvres, an island with prep sink, and all new appliances. They had a strong preference that the hood be a focal point and wanted to go beyond a typical white color scheme even though they wanted white cabinets. While moving the kitchen to the dining space gave us a generous amount of real estate to work with, two of the exterior walls are occupied with full-height glass creating a challenge how best to fulfill their wish list. We used one available wall for the needed tall appliances, taking advantage of its height to create the hood as a focal point. We opted for both a peninsula and island instead of one large island in order to maximize the seating requirements and create a barrier when entertaining so guests do not flow directly into the work area of the kitchen. This also made it possible to add a second sink as requested. Lastly, the peninsula sets up a well-defined path to the new dining room without feeling like you are walking through the kitchen. We used the remaining fourth wall for the bar/buffet. Black cabinetry adds strong contrast in several areas of the new kitchen. Wire mesh wall cabinet doors at the bar and gold accents on the hardware, light fixtures, faucets and furniture add further drama to the concept. The focal point is definitely the black hood, looking both dramatic and cohesive at the same time.

After transplanting the pre-existing vegetation (including three species of palm and ferns) to a more suitable location on the property, MHG Greens&Gardens redesigned and planted the front lawn with two 9 feet tall Italian Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens), rimmed with a single low ball of Eugenia myrtifolium; and three Eugenia myrtifolium topiaries (three balls connected by a central bare stem); and an “Ayer, hoy y siempre” shrub (Brunfelsia (Solanaceae)), a small evergreen shrub with colorful blooms ranging from purple to white according to their stage of development.

Contemporary raked rooflines give drama and beautiful lines to both the exterior and interior of the home. The exterior finished in Caviar black gives a soft presence to the home while emphasizing the gorgeous natural landscaping, while the Corten roof naturally rusts and patinas. Corridors separate the different hubs of the home. The entry corridor finished on both ends with full height glass fulfills the clients vision of a home — celebration of outdoors, natural light, birds, deer, etc. that are frequently seen crossing through. The large pool at the front of the home is a unique placement — perfectly functions for family gatherings. Panoramic windows at the kitchen 7' ideal workstation open up to the pool and patio (a great setting for Taco Tuesdays). The mostly white "Gathering" room was designed for this family to host their 15+ count dinners with friends and family. Large panoramic doors open up to the back patio for free flowing indoor and outdoor dining. Poggenpohl cabinetry throughout the kitchen provides the modern luxury centerpiece to this home. Walnut elements emphasize the lines and add a warm space to gather around the island. Pearlescent plaster finishes the walls and hood of the kitchen with a soft simmer and texture. Corridors were painted Caviar to provide a visual distinction of the spaces and to wrap the outdoors to the indoors. In the master bathroom, soft grey plaster was selected as a backdrop to the vanity and master shower. Contrasted by a deep green hue for the walls and ceiling, a cozy spa retreat was created. A corner cutout on the shower enclosure brings additional light and architectural interest to the space. In the powder bathroom, a large circular mirror mimics the black pedestal vessel sinks. Amber-colored cut crystal pendants are organically suspended. A patinated copper and walnut grid was hand-finished by the client. And in the guest bathroom, white and walnut make for a classic combination in this luxury guest bath. Jedi wall sconces are a favorite of guests — we love how they provide soft lighting and a spotlight to the surface.

A limestone retention wall discovered during relocation of existing plants along the driveway was filled with Sanguinaria (Commelinacea Rhoeo spathacea (Sw.) Stearn Sangría), a green-purple leafed plant that contrasts with the white limestone. Five trellises were placed at the top of the driveway and wove together three Italian Lace Cascade Climbing Roses –specially shipped from Florida for this garden – and two Panda, a variegated leaf climber.

The portico was decorated with two raspberry red glazed terracotta planters with egg-shaped crowns. The large planters (measuring 4 feet) contained eggplant-colored Crinum and a local strawberry-colored Fragaria (pink Panda), while the small planters (28 inches high) contained blue Ruellia simplex.
