The goal of this renovation was to modernize the home while preserving its warmth and character. The design introduces a more functional layout, increased storage, and a cohesive material palette that connects the mudroom, kitchen, pantry, primary suite, and bathroom. Clean-lined millwork, warm wood tones, painted cabinetry, and layered textures create a balanced aesthetic that feels both timeless and updated.The original layout featured a compartmentalized kitchen with limited storage and circulation challenges. The mudroom lacked built-in organization, and the pantry provided minimal functionality. Within the primary suite, the bathroom and closet areas did not maximize available square footage or storage opportunities. Existing finishes throughout the home relied heavily on warm wood cabinetry and beige-toned tile.

Marrying modern design with traditional style this kitchen is a chefs dream. The painted island in a charming cream color stands as a perfect compliment to the heavily distressed and patina rustic alder cabinets around the perimeter. Pillow edge- raised panel- mitered frame cabinets with the highest quality German engineered hardware available brings generational style to modern times. The built in oven and beautiful vent hood can keep up with even the busiest thanksgiving dinner while, dual dishwashers mean less time cleaning up and more time with the things that are important.

Nestled in the picturesque mountainside close to Aspen, Colorado, sits this stunning, modern single-family home. Appropriately called ‘Black Magic’, the home features an open floorplan and large windows of varying sizes to maximize the breathtaking views of this unique location. Seeking to make a bold statement from its heavily wooded lot and earthy surroundings, the home features the extensive use of metal cladding in a dark solid hue. Corrugated metal wall panels add texture and visual appeal to the large squared surfaces, while also providing strength and resistance against the harsh Colorado winters. The use of similarly colored flush panels for accent pieces, add additional visual distinction to the structure.

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 extensive project literally took years to design and install. The modern classic styling has been carried throughout both the inside and outside of the home. The heavily treed lot provided the perfect balance and backdrop to this gorgeous home and landscape! The focal point of the front yard is the large bridge and also works as a design anchor.

The primary goal for this project was to craft a modernist derivation of pueblo architecture. Set into a heavily laden boulder hillside, the design also reflects the nature of the stacked boulder formations. The site, located near local landmark Pinnacle Peak, offered breathtaking views which were largely upward, making proximity an issue. Maintaining southwest fenestration protection and maximizing views created the primary design constraint. The views are maximized with careful orientation, exacting overhangs, and wing wall locations. The overhangs intertwine and undulate with alternating materials stacking to reinforce the boulder strewn backdrop. The elegant material palette and siting allow for great harmony with the native desert. The Elegant Modern at Estancia was the collaboration of many of the Valley's finest luxury home specialists. Interiors guru David Michael Miller contributed elegance and refinement in every detail. Landscape architect Russ Greey of Greey | Pickett contributed a landscape design that not only complimented the architecture, but nestled into the surrounding desert as if always a part of it. And contractor Manship Builders -- Jim Manship and project manager Mark Laidlaw -- brought precision and skill to the construction of what architect C.P. Drewett described as "a watch."

Downsizing does not mean sacrifice. Not when it comes to magnificent views, opulent appointments, or the balance of man and nature. This home was designed to capitalize on the stunning views and natural features of the heavily tree-covered lot. Informed by the owners' desire to downsize, the floor plan's central feature is its airy, open feel. A vaulted wooden ceiling in the great room sets the tone. The use of multiple windows throughout enlivens the space. Due to the unusual shape and slope of the lot, a clever side-entry in the front is designed to maximize the view. The lot features a seasonal brook in the front too lovely to miss. The home is nestled carefully into a hillside, with a retaining wall balancing the steep slope. All of this creates a space that is at once cozy and expansive; a just reward for a life well-lived. photo by Vi Bottaro Photography

This project earned its name 'The Herringbone House' because of the reclaimed wood accents styled in the Herringbone pattern. This project was focused heavily on pattern and texture. The wife described her style as "beachy buddha" and the husband loved industrial pieces. We married the two styles together and used wood accents and texture to tie them seamlessly. You'll notice the living room features an amazing view of the water and this design concept plays perfectly into that zen vibe. We removed the tile and replaced it with beautiful hardwood floors to balance the rooms and avoid distraction. The owners of this home love Cuban art and funky pieces, so we constructed these built-ins to showcase their amazing collection.

Design by: Bill Tweten, CKD, CBD Photo by: Robb Siverson www.robbsiverson.com This Crystal kitchen features Rustic Hickory cabinets finished in a warm sepia and accented by the island which is painted a deep green and heavily distressed. The striking Harmony granite brings warmth and movement throughout the kitchen. Oil rubbed bronze hardware that feature highlights add to the overall appeal to this kitchen and everything together creates a warm and inviting traditional styled kitchen.

This kitchen was refaced in white laminate recessed panel doors that have been glazed to highlight the decorative detailing on the doors. Conveniences such as two tip out trays, a trash roll out and three full extension roll out shelves have been added for further ease of use. A custom desk was built against one wall. The design was heavily inspired by a particular antique, and features a cherry wood desktop in espresso. See more at https://www.kitchensaver.com/kitchen/germantown-md-2/

Some people remodel their kitchen, some remodel their master bath and some people do both and then some. These homeowners were ready to invest heavily in their home with a complete home remodel including kitchen, family room, powder room, laundry room, stairs, master bath and all flooring and mill work on the second floor plus many window replacements. While such an extensive remodel is more budget intense, it also gives the home a fresh, updated look at once. Enjoy this complete home transformation! Photos by Jake Boyd Photo
