KitchenLab Interiors’ first, entirely new construction project in collaboration with GTH architects who designed the residence. KLI was responsible for all interior finishes, fixtures, furnishings, and design including the stairs, casework, interior doors, moldings and millwork. KLI also worked with the client on selecting the roof, exterior stucco and paint colors, stone, windows, and doors. The homeowners had purchased the existing home on a lakefront lot of the Valley Lo community in Glenview, thinking that it would be a gut renovation, but when they discovered a host of issues including mold, they decided to tear it down and start from scratch. The minute you look out the living room windows, you feel as though you're on a lakeside vacation in Wisconsin or Michigan. We wanted to help the homeowners achieve this feeling throughout the house - merging the causal vibe of a vacation home with the elegance desired for a primary residence. This project is unique and personal in many ways - Rebekah and the homeowner, Lorie, had grown up together in a small suburb of Columbus, Ohio. Lorie had been Rebekah's babysitter and was like an older sister growing up. They were both heavily influenced by the style of the late 70's and early 80's boho/hippy meets disco and 80's glam, and both credit their moms for an early interest in anything related to art, design, and style. One of the biggest challenges of doing a new construction project is that it takes so much longer to plan and execute and by the time tile and lighting is installed, you might be bored by the selections of feel like you've seen them everywhere already. “I really tried to pull myself, our team and the client away from the echo-chamber of Pinterest and Instagram. We fell in love with counter stools 3 years ago that I couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on, thank god, because then they started showing up literally everywhere", Rebekah recalls. Lots of one of a kind vintage rugs and furnishings make the home feel less brand-spanking new. The best projects come from a team slightly outside their comfort zone. One of the funniest things Lorie says to Rebekah, "I gave you everything you wanted", which is pretty hilarious coming from a client to a designer.

This 1990's home, located in North Vancouver's Lynn Valley neighbourhood, had high ceilings and a great open plan layout but the decor was straight out of the 90's complete with sponge painted walls in dark earth tones. The owners, a young professional couple, enlisted our help to take it from dated and dreary to modern and bright. We started by removing details like chair rails and crown mouldings, that did not suit the modern architectural lines of the home. We replaced the heavily worn wood floors with a new high end, light coloured, wood-look laminate that will withstand the wear and tear from their two energetic golden retrievers. Since the main living space is completely open plan it was important that we work with simple consistent finishes for a clean modern look. The all white kitchen features flat doors with minimal hardware and a solid surface marble-look countertop and backsplash. We modernized all of the lighting and updated the bathrooms and master bedroom as well. The only departure from our clean modern scheme is found in the dressing room where the client was looking for a more dressed up feminine feel but we kept a thread of grey consistent even in this more vivid colour scheme. This transformation, featuring the clients' gorgeous original artwork and new custom designed furnishings is admittedly one of our favourite projects to date!

This estate on Rivercrest incorporates more than 27,000. The house is 26,369, the Pool House is 2,181, the stables are 3,597 (total covered area) square feet of covered structure, including poolside entertaining space, and stables. This home is very much a traditional meets modern layout. It’s formalized. Referencing heavily upon Andrea Palladio, the home uses symmetry as a major design element. Connie Anderson Photography

This is a cultured marble shower with a fiberglass pan that we refinished. We did a custom multi-speck finish on the cultured marble walls while doing a standard white on the fiberglass pan. The beauty of our material is it will seal and cover heavily stained fiberglass pans all the while preventing them from staining again and aiding in the future cleaning!

This client purchased an existing basic home located in Wyckoff, NJ. Liggero Architecture designed 100% of the interiors for this residence & was heavily involved in the build out all components.

Hang shelves that look like they may have been salvaged from a chest of drawers in Dracula’s castle. Made from real wood that has been heavily distressed, each shelf has a different style of pull, but the hardware on all four shares a black finish with a rusted patina. Each drawer (sold separately) has a bracket attached to the back for simple hanging. Decorate with all four and you’ll have a statement display that you can fill with your favorite haunted what-zits.

This client loved wood. Site-harvested lumber was applied to the stairwell walls with beautiful effect in this North Asheville home. The tongue-and-groove, nickel-jointed milling and installation, along with the simple detail metal balusters created a focal point for the home. The heavily-sloped lot afforded great views out back, demanded lots of view-facing windows, and required supported decks off the main floor and lower level. The screened porch features a massive, wood-burning outdoor fireplace with a traditional hearth, faced with natural stone. The side-yard natural-look water feature attracts many visitors from the surrounding woods.

The home has a western theme running throughout. You can see the influence in the leather dining chairs, the heavy wood dining table, the horse statue, and the heavily textured accent wall.

All plants were removed. The existing soil was heavily amended with composted cattle manure and worm castings to add much needed nutrients and hold moisture closer to the surface. Rain water was redirected into the garden to provide natural irrigation and give the new plantings a chance to compete with the Maple Trees. Updated photos to come in 2018 as this garden fills in and blooms.

The sliding door is made with weathered barn siding without any finish to keep the natural look. The handle is made from a heavily shaped pieced of walnut placed through an antique lawn mower handle. We also did the blue ridge parkway painting on reclaimed poplar.

This architectural marvel stands as an impeccable rendition of Renaissance-style elegance, with traditional French wooden windows serving as its defining feature. Designed as a lavish castle-like residence, it borrows heavily from the grandeur and sophistication characteristic of the Renaissance period, seamlessly blending history and luxury into an unforgettable spatial experience.

This Spring Lake residence is an absolute treasure. This custom home serves as a seashore escape for its owners who were heavily involved in the design and construction process. Our team's custom carpentry skills were again called on to create various one-of-a-kind aspects for the homeowners, including a custom hanging bed made by hand by the Falcon Industries team.
