This residential kitchen project was performed in conjunction with Legacy Custom Homes/RSD, Frank Ponterio Interiors, and NuHaus/Exclusive Woodworking. The goal of this project was to fabricate and install marble slabs in a fashion that mimicked the custom millwork in the rest of this estate home on the Northshore of Chicago. John Tithof and Jason Cranmer, along with the fabrication production team, executed this project on behalf of Tithof Tile & Marble. The client wanted the panels to appear as if carved from dimensional stone blocks rather than the classic full height stone backsplash. One of the primary focuses was keeping the client involved through the templating and layout process to ensure they knew what their project would look like before anything was cut or installed. The evolution of this process has changed in recent years. Gone are the days of blue tape and visualizing the completed job. With the recent introduction of the revolutionary Perfect Match and Slabsmith software programs we have the ability to digitally layout every slab project and create a virtual representation of the project for approval prior to cutting.

Soft colors and fabrics really define this guest bedroom. Soothing for any guest, but with a slight feminine edge. Anchored by solid wood chests, the upholstered bed with nailhead details stands out as you walk down the hallway. Love the lamps with a little crystal added for that flair. Bits of color shine through in the drapery fabric and euro pillow shams. Design: Wesley-Wayne Interiors Photo: Stephen Karlisch

This artist and her family needed a little room to move. We did an interior remodel project with them two years ago where we created an additional bedroom and remodeled the entry hall. At first the new bedroom functioned as an art studio but soon it became the second bedroom that they needed. So, we added on in the backyard, new construction with a vestibule between the original home and the new space. This artist now has her studio space and the grownups have a living room space to relax in.

Again, to create a space where friends and family—adults and children--can enjoy time together, along with amazing views. The owners can entertain with plein air dining. From this vantage point, one story above the yard, adults can watch as their children play in the pool and yard. Kids can pop up for a snack at the bar or sit down with the grownups for a meal. Built-in heaters in the planked ceiling keep the space comfy.

The plans included a new master suite, expanded laundry room, a powder room, a second-floor multipurpose room, a guest room with bath, and a new basement with a playroom for the boys, an entertaining space for the grownups, and another bathroom and unfinished storage space. Once complete, the home was more than 5,900 square feet. The home’s largest family space is the loft-style multipurpose room on the new second floor. The renovation also includes a fantastic and modern pool and outdoor living area with plenty of space for summer cookouts and entertaining.

Built-in lighting and soft wood paneling lend a calm mood, while integrated drawers and clean lines keep the visual weight low. Every edge, from the soft-close storage to the open side stairs, was designed with both kids and grownups in mind.

My client wanted “lake home essence” but not a themed vibe. We opted for subtle hints of the outdoors, such as the branchy chandelier centered over the space and the tall sculpture in the corner, made from a tree root and shell. Its height balances the “weight” of the stained cabinetry wall and the unbreakable wood is family friendly for kids and pets. Remember the Little Ones Family togetherness was key my client. To accommodate everyone from kids to grandma, we included a pair of ottomans that the children can sit on when they play at the table. They are perfect as foot rests for the grownups too, and when not in use, can be tucked neatly under the cocktail table.
