We were so honored to design this minimal, bright, and peaceful animal-themed nursery for a couple expecting their first baby! It warms our hearts to think of all of the cozy and sweet (and sleepless!) moments that will happen in this room. - Interior design & styling by Parlour & Palm - Photos by Misha Cohen Photography

This client came to us with a very clear vision of what she wanted, but she needed help to refine and execute the design. At our first meeting she described her style as somewhere between modern rustic and ‘granny chic’ – she likes cozy spaces with nods to the past, but also wanted to blend that with the more contemporary tastes of her husband and children. Functionally, the old layout was less than ideal with an oddly placed 3-sided fireplace and angled island creating traffic jams in and around the kitchen. By creating a U-shaped layout, we clearly defined the chef’s domain and created a circulation path that limits disruptions in the heart of the kitchen. While still an open concept, the black cabinets, bar height counter and change in flooring all add definition to the space. The vintage inspired black and white tile is a nod to the past while the black stainless range and matte black faucet are unmistakably modern. High on our client’s wish list was eliminating upper cabinets and keeping the countertops clear. In order to achieve this, we needed to ensure there was ample room in the base cabinets and reconfigured pantry for items typically stored above. The full height tile backsplash evokes exposed brick and serves as the backdrop for the custom wood-clad hood and decorative brass sconces – a perfect blend of rustic, modern and chic. Black and brass elements are repeated throughout the main floor in new hardware, lighting, and open shelves as well as the owners’ curated collection of family heirlooms and furnishings. In addition to renovating the kitchen, we updated the entire first floor with refinished hardwoods, new paint, wainscoting, wallcovering and beautiful new stained wood doors. Our client had been dreaming and planning this kitchen for 17 years and we’re thrilled we were able to bring it to life.

Surrounded by trees to the north and old farm buildings, the Agnew Farmhouse naturally took shape to capture the expansive southern views of the prairie on which it resides. Inspired from the rural venacular of the property, the home was designed for an engaged couple looking to spend their days on the family farm. Built next to the original house on the property, a story of past, present, and future continues to be written. The south facing porch is shaded by the upper level and offers easy access from yard to the heart of the home. North Dakota offers challenging weather, so naturally a south-west facing garage to melt the snow from the driveway is often required. This also allowed for the the garage to be hidden from sight as you approach the home from the NE. Respecting its surroundings, the home emphasizes modern design and simple farmer logic to create a home for the couple to begin their marriage and grow old together.

A large window looking out on the backyard was at the heart of the design for this kitchen. The expansive window allows ridiculous amounts of daylight to stream into this kitchen - especially in the morning. The Moroccan inspired, gold, hammered pendants combined with the over-sized window create a stunning focal point as you walk into the kitchen. photo by Nita Torrey

Situated in the heart of the Lake Claire neighborhood in Atlanta, GA, this renovation included a full kitchen remodel, the addition of a screened porch, renovation of the primary and children’s jack ‘n jill bath, and the buildout of third-floor attic space to incorporate an entertainment room, a podcast studio, and a full bathroom. The overall objective was to give the clients more living space, while updating the existing kitchen and bathrooms to make them more suitable for their modern lifestyle.

Ocala Kitchen and Bath Inc. made all of the custom cabinetry at the Ocala residence. The various colors of white are all custom colors. The cabinetry made from River-Recovered® Midnight Cypress is the kitchen island, the floating shelves in the kitchen, the pantry, and the kitchen hood. Ocala Kitchen and Bath Inc. custom designed and engineered the island and hood. Two-inch thick material is used to make the frame pieces for the sides and back frame. They are dowelled and glued then clamped together. They had been cut for a lap joint or rabbit joint to accept the tongue and groove 3/4″ thick pieces which are put into the frame and pinned and held in place by a batten around the frame as well. The end shapes are routed by hand. The same style end shapes are on the hood bottom structure as well to be able to repeat the design feature. Everything is sanded and hand sanded and made ready for finishing. The door frames are mitered, biscuit jointed and glued together. The center panels are laminated with lamellas. All the face frames are dowelled and glued. The backs of the doors have a mitered batten frame around the panel to hold it in place. The small leg details in the front of the island are made and put at the bottom toe space area. The hood is custom designed. The bottom section is 2″ thick material and the top section is built as a plywood shape to set on top of the base part of the hood. Dan Petersen of Heritage Wood Finish applied the lamellas. Dan and Jan Grosse of Ocala Kitchen and Bath Inc. chose the color combination and he glued them in place and sanded them. He also applied the lamellas to thin plywood panels sized for the cabinet door inserts Floating shelves are constructed with the Midnight Cypress and made to accept the LED lights flush on the bottoms. They have a top and bottom with a void for the wood mounting structure and fit like a sleeve. They have an open area for wiring. The faces of the shelves are mitered. The entire project is hand-finished with Woca Diamond Active Oil- Natural and then gone over again with Woca Diamond Active Oil- Concrete Grey to achieve the desired tone.

This custom craftsman home located in Flemington, NJ was created for our client who wanted to find the perfect balance of accommodating the needs of their family, while being conscientious of not compromising on quality. The heart of the home was designed around an open living space and functional kitchen that would accommodate entertaining, as well as every day life. Our team worked closely with the client to choose a a home design and floor plan that was functional and of the highest quality. Craftsman-style kitchen lighting is about function, but its strong geometric lines also add visual flair. Shaker style cabinetry also provides this kitchen with functionality and simple lines without any detailed carvings or ornamentation.

Perfectly embedded on an acre of land overlooking a pond, in the heart of Willow Bend of Plano, this dated, traditional home got more than a complete facelift. The wife is a “farmer’s daughter” and could have never imagined having a home like this to call her own one day. Finding a 15’ dining table was a tall task… especially for a family of four. Using a local craftsman, the most gorgeous white oak table was created to host everyone in the neighborhood! The clients told a lot of stories about their past and children. The designer realized that the stories were actually treasures as she incorporated their memories and symbols in every room. She brought these memories to life in a custom artwork collage above the family room mantel. From a tractor representing the grandfather, to the Russian alphabet portraying the roots of their adopted sons and some Cambodian script, there were meanings behind each piece. In order to bring nature indoors, the designer decided to demo the exterior wall to the patio to add a large folding door and blew out the wall dividing the formal dining room and breakfast room so there would be a clear sight through to the outdoors. Throughout the home, each family member was thought of. The fabrics and finishes had to withstand small boys, who were extremely active. The use of outdoor fabrics and beautiful scratch proof finishes were incorporated in every space – bring on the hotwheels.

Opening up the great room to the rest of the lower level was a major priority in this remodel. Walls were removed to allow more light and open-concept design transpire with the same LVT flooring throughout. The fireplace received a new look with splitface stone and cantilever hearth. Painting the back wall a rich blue gray brings focus to the heart of this home around the fireplace. New artwork and accessories accentuate the bold blue color. Large sliding glass doors to the back of the home are covered with a sleek roller shade and window cornice in a solid fabric with a geometric shape trim.

How do you fill an expansive space with the proper amount and arrangement of cabinetry? Work with an expert planner and a 100% custom product. This broad u-shaped Bakes & Kropp kitchen is nestled in the heart of the Hamptons and features Meridian-style cabinetry in a combination of white and stained Oak. The 84” by 84” island is elevated by four steel-reinforced oak pegs, playfully juxtaposing its size and weight with unexpected height. This "leggy" detail is mirrored in the unique free-standing farmhouse sink. Fridge and wine panels adorn the right wall, creating the perfect flow for food prep and entertaining and Bakes custom hardware and knobs in polished nickel complete the look. *Interior Design by Karen Gorman, NYC *Custom range hood by separate vendor
