This home remodel is a dramatic change from the plain white cabinets that came before it. The dark wood and heavily patterned countertops enhance the clean lines of the recessed panel cabinets. The kitchen is the focal point of the home, and it won a NARI Contractor of the Year award for its design. The professional, stainless gas range is especially highlighted with the massive wood hood and mosaic tile mural for the backsplash.

This project in Juno Beach, FL, was for a client who, after experiencing flood damage, needed to replace her kitchen. She wanted to add more warmth to her space and was heavily influenced by Scandinavian design, but she also wanted to keep things classic and white. This is the final result of our collaboration together – a clean, sophisticated, classic-modern space that feels warm and cozy without the sterility of an all-white design.

Flipping the laundry room space with the walk-in pantry was designed to remove the laundry area from a heavily trafficked hall. In the new pantry area, a coffee bar was envisioned. Black stainless-steel appliances were selected to contrast with white cabinetry. Granite would be ‘honed’ to not be shiny smooth; a white arabesque backsplash tile complemented the cabinetry. No seating was planned on the back side of the island, making cabinets easier to access.

White perimeter cabinetry against a navy island with brass bar pulls tying both together. The countertops are a heavily veined white marble or quartzite throughout, and the backsplash is a glossy elongated subway tile. Exposed wood beams cross the ceiling, and a pair of oversized brass dome pendants hang over the island.

This is an organic Lime Wash done with a true lime wash product as opposed to a brick mortar or concrete that is often seen on new houses. This product can be applied as a solid coating making the surface completely white, or can be applied and "washed off" in many artistic ways, as seen here. If you hate your brick or just want something unique this is a great option! Photo credit: Jeff Murrey
