MA Peterson met all the homeowner’s entertaining needs, which included a much-desired area for bar serving that opened up to the newly-added circular four-season porch. Having one location for food and drink staging was a priority for our entertaining couple, and using the transition space between the existing mudroom and kitchen granted perfect access to the prep area nearby. With refrigeration and a beverage center, it’s a great space to host a bartender during an event or to use daily as a cozy spot. The room was created to stand out, and it does just that. The existing stone from the exterior of the home was brought indoors as the surround for the serving bar, giving the perfect rustic pub room feel. The cabinets were stained a dark cherry to match the stain found throughout the house, and Rembrandt glass mosaic tile was added to break up the darker hues. The white bead board ceiling behind the stone wall was lowered and a unique Milton Road pendant, perfectly setting the mood to give it that pub room touch. Susan Gilmore Photography

Winner of "HOME OF THE YEAR 2016" San Diego Home and Garden Lifestyles Magazine featuring this great contemporary kitchen remodel in An Irving Gill renovation near Balboa Park stays true to its historic essence. More about the project. This young couple has a creative back ground, one being an actor and the other being a teacher who inspires others. They now enjoy a new historical home with amazing touches of modern styling and comforts. The home was designed by renowned architect Irving Gill in 1905 and is on the historical register but it only applies to the exterior of the home. The brick pillar is an original feature from the home's turn-of-the-century stove. The window casings were built to replicate the original Douglas Fir windows as seen on Gill's original plans, and all the molding was redone in his signature flush style as well. The central feature in this kitchen is the Yellow Italian Bertazzoni Range with a single herringbone tiled back splash. The cabinetry is a light gray paired perfectly with a dark "graphite" gray island, and industrial vents at the toe kick enhance the overall look.

Example of a trendy master bedroom design in Miami with gray walls and no fireplace

Located in the beautiful historic district on a quaint New England island, the existing home was a 1940s house with a 1970s addition. The home was meaningful to the fabric of the community and extensive approvals were sought and granted from the local Historic District Commission. The result is a beautiful four-story home, neatly tucked into the rock of the surrounding landscape. The jewel of the home is an extraordinary central staircase, fashioned with low-rise, long-run stairs, and multiple landings to serve as resting spots. With over 200 linear feet of bookshelves, there is plenty of space to house distinguished artifacts and a book collection gathered from travels around the world. Amenities of the home include a garden room, a deck off the spacious living room, a high-end kitchen, a library, four bedrooms (including a bunk room for the grandchildren), a home office, an elevator, and a perch overlooking the Piscataqua River.

A traditional home in the Claremont Hills of Berkeley is enlarged and fully renovated to fit the lives of a young couple and their growing family. The existing partial upper floor was fully expanded to create three additional bedrooms, a hall bath, laundry room and updated master suite, with the intention that the expanded house volume harmoniously integrates with the architectural character of the existing home. A new central staircase brings in a tremendous amount of daylight to the heart of the ground floor while also providing a strong visual connection between the floors. The new stair includes access to an expanded basement level with storage and recreation spaces for the family. Main level spaces were also extensively upgraded with the help of noted San Francisco interior designer Grant K. Gibson. Photos by Kathryn MacDonald.

This is the last piece remaining from my 2012 Gravity series. This is a large piece but has such a minimal footprint that creates wonderful, surprising angles in the garden bed.
