A transformation of a modest raised ranch into a modern oasis. I was the interior designer and general contractor from mechanicals to finishing. It’s also my personal home. The interior design style is that of modern minimalist meets organic modern. I wanted a space that reduced distractions and let the eyes, head, and soul rest. Where everything inside the home has a specific use and purpose. The objects in our home are fewer but each hold a great personal value. You might expect to see this airy aesthetic, with its gallery white walls, in California or New York. Not nestled in a modest 50 year old neighborhood in Omaha, Nebraska. Creating a minimal aesthetic is one of the trickiest design styles to pull off. It is more than just less stuff and lots of white. It means sticking to these design principals: -weaving in an abundance of textures -incorporating natural finishes -keenly curating art -giving extra attention to scale -limiting purely decorative items -maximizing natural light This style is not to be confused with the frugality of reductive design. I have incorporated many elevated basics that create an aesthetic of quiet luxury: -architectural bead for trim-less doors -first-of-its kind interior door hardware made of terrazzo -historical marble found in landmark interiors like the NY Public Library -premium flush air vents that disappear out of site -luxury appliances from GE Café and Signature -elegant and resilient terrazzo field tiles Ours was not a simple interior remodel and addition: -gutted and remodeled the existing 2,000 SF -added on approximately another 1,000 SF -moved and installed all new major mechanicals i.e. heating, plumbing and electrical. -knocked through foundation walls to extend the space back -dug down and built up

A life of inspired beauty featuring touches of elegance with a little old-fashioned detail combine to create the transitional spaces throughout this home. Creating a whole-home design centered around an open-plan kitchen and living space, the home features custom, handcrafted Wood-Mode cabinetry in the walk-in pantry, bar, master bath, and powder room. For these New Jersey homeowners wanting touches of elegance with a little old-fashioned detail, Penterman Kitchen & Bath created bright and roomy transitional spaces throughout the home. Starting in the heart of the home, the kitchen, collaborating with Wood-Mode on a design centered on its Arlington Recessed doors handcrafted of maple wood and finished in Vintage Bright White. Capped with dark, natural walnut countertops and Belwith Keeler Trellis hardware in polished nickel, finish out the overarching cabinetry design, creating a bright, open kitchen and living space. Beautiful mullion cabinets are faced with mirrors allowing light to be reflected around the room and hide items that the homeowner does not want on display. Stainless steel Wolf-Sub Zero appliances, including a gas stove with herringbone marble backsplash and oil rubbed bronze water appliances including a pot filler, coordinate to ground the transitional design. An oversized island is capped with a beautiful grey marble top and houses a strategically placed apron front ceramic farmhouse sink, allowing the homeowners to watch TV and engage with family members in the living area while washing dishes. The walk-in pantry continues the design, white cabinetry with striking walnut countertops, and an overabundance of under counter dry and refrigerated storage. Matching handcrafted walnut shelving becomes a featured architectural element as Hafele under shelf lighting and high gloss white tile create a bright, open space. Plenty of electrical outlets allow the homeowner to keep entertaining prep in the pantry, allowing for clean kitchen countertops. A breakfast nook featuring a ring of windows is drawn into the room with the same walnut wood from the countertops utilized on the nooks built-in benches. The family dog even has a place at the table with a feeding area and cabinet above to hold dog food and supplies. To soften and melt into the adjacent room, the bar area features marble countertops with the coordinating herringbone marble backsplash. Glass front upper cabinets allow the homeowner to display treasured glassware while matching hardware pulls the specialized area into the overall space design.

You open your kitchen cabinet. It's a mess. An endless abyss. You're looking for olive oil to sauté delicious garlic and onions for dinner. You know you have it. Where could it be? Cooking your favorite family meal can take longer than the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade without organization to find what you need. That's what happened each & every time one of our recent Baton Rouge clients, Jan, tried to cook a meal in her home. Searching For A Pantry Solution Jan and her family moved into their new home in 2017 despite not having a pantry. Knowing they needed one desperately, Jan wondered if a pantry could fit in their vast laundry room. Instead of trying the DIY route, Jan wanted professional help to get it done right. Jan saw an Inspired Closets sign on the lawn of a home in her neighborhood. She decided to visit their showroom to meet with our expert designer, Felicity. After Jan shared her vision of what they wanted in a pantry, Felicity got to work! She created a custom design accomplishing everything Jan wanted. So there was never a need to shop around for other companies. Let The Fun Begin: The Design & Construction Process Jan thought the process was terrific. Much easier than they thought it would be. The 3D rendering of the project allowed them to see their dream space before installation began. And, during the process, Jan realized she wanted to expand the project by redoing the laundry room as well! Jan said, "I was able to make a few tweaks until it was perfect." Felicity had a contractor she worked with closely. Together they handled it all, making it super easy for them with no mess or stress left behind. A True Eye-Opening Experience: Make Getting The Ingredients The Easiest Part "The functionality was the best part," says Jan. Finally, her family could see everything. Inspired Closets put everything in plain sight by creating: - clear acrylic snap drawers to see everything - sliding pull-out drawers for canned goods - a produce pull-out drawer - a basket for chips and snacks that the kids loved - a lazy Susan that holds vinegar, oils, and bottled items Felicity maximized every inch of space in the design. Jan and her family were amazed the room had a wide-open feel, even with all the items in the room. The area was functional and beautiful. Saving Time, Money, And Stress But it wasn’t just pretty to look at. Now that everything is more accessible in her pantry, making a grocery list is a cinch. Jan found herself saving money by not buying things she already owned but simply couldn’t see. "I love how the kids can find things so quickly. We never have to guess where stuff is, making daily life easier," Jan says. Another Happy Ending Jan’s family could not be more satisfied with their reimagined space, telling everyone they know not to be overwhelmed when considering a new project. Let us help get rid of the mess and stress in your pantry or laundry space like we did for Jan! Whether you’re embarking on your new construction, forever home, or a renovation to make life better, just imagine how we can help you create your dream come true.

Stoneunlimited Kitchen and Bath can help you design and renovate your bathroom into a seaside oasis that will hold you over until the next time you're able to feel sand between your toes and salty water in your hair. Our Client's desire for their master bathroom was to create a beachy feel that they could enjoy year round and we were more than happy to facilitate the transformation. The Alaskan White Granite tops mimic the look of wet sand providing contrast to the Waypoint Shaker Style cabinets and storage tower. 3"x17" Porcelain Planks in Vintage Gray add a wood component that is key to any coastal bathroom design and resemble the color of aged board walks and fishing piers. Pebbles in the tub surround, shower accent band and shower floor are similar to ones that can be found on many popular beaches. The decorative details that our client selected for the room such as mermaid dispensers, shells, and beautiful vibrant art work were the perfect touch. Ample storage space and some privacy to the exposed toilet were needed. The 12" deep tower provides two cabinet pull outs for toiletries and other necessities as well as an 18"x18" cabinet on the top with crown molding finishes and an additional pull out cabinet at the bottom of the tower. Partial privacy for the lavatory was achieved by installing a 45"x29" glass panel.

This project is in the final stages. The basement is finished with a den, bedroom, full bathroom and spacious laundry room. New living spaces have been created upstairs. The kitchen has come alive with white cabinets, new countertops, a farm sink and a brick backsplash. The mudroom was incorporated at the garage entrance with a storage bench and beadboard accents. Industrial and vintage lighting, a barn door, a mantle with restored wood and metal cabinet inlays all add to the charm of the farm house remodel. DREAM. BUILD. LIVE. www.smartconstructionhomes.com

First home, savvy art owners, decided to hire RBD to design their recently purchased two story, four bedroom, midcentury Diamond Heights home to merge their new parenthood and love for entertaining lifestyles. Hired two months prior to the arrival of their baby boy, RBD was successful in installing the nursery just in time. The home required little architectural spatial reconfiguration given the previous owner was an architect, allowing RBD to focus mainly on furniture, fixtures and accessories while updating only a few finishes. New paint grade paneling added a needed midcentury texture to the entry, while an existing site for sore eyes radiator, received a new walnut cover creating a built-in mid-century custom headboard for the guest room, perfect for large art and plant decoration. RBD successfully paired furniture and art selections to connect the existing material finishes by keeping fabrics neutral and complimentary to the existing finishes. The backyard, an SF rare oasis, showcases a hanging chair and custom outdoor floor cushions for easy lounging, while a stylish midcentury heated bench allows easy outdoor entertaining in the SF climate.

This residence was a complete gut renovation of a 4-story row house in Park Slope, and included a new rear extension and penthouse addition. The owners wished to create a warm, family home using a modern language that would act as a clean canvas to feature rich textiles and items from their world travels. As with most Brooklyn row houses, the existing house suffered from a lack of natural light and connection to exterior spaces, an issue that Principal Brendan Coburn is acutely aware of from his experience re-imagining historic structures in the New York area. The resulting architecture is designed around moments featuring natural light and views to the exterior, of both the private garden and the sky, throughout the house, and a stripped-down language of detailing and finishes allows for the concept of the modern-natural to shine. Upon entering the home, the kitchen and dining space draw you in with views beyond through the large glazed opening at the rear of the house. An extension was built to allow for a large sunken living room that provides a family gathering space connected to the kitchen and dining room, but remains distinctly separate, with a strong visual connection to the rear garden. The open sculptural stair tower was designed to function like that of a traditional row house stair, but with a smaller footprint. By extending it up past the original roof level into the new penthouse, the stair becomes an atmospheric shaft for the spaces surrounding the core. All types of weather – sunshine, rain, lightning, can be sensed throughout the home through this unifying vertical environment. The stair space also strives to foster family communication, making open living spaces visible between floors. At the upper-most level, a free-form bench sits suspended over the stair, just by the new roof deck, which provides at-ease entertaining. Oak was used throughout the home as a unifying material element. As one travels upwards within the house, the oak finishes are bleached to further degrees as a nod to how light enters the home. The owners worked with CWB to add their own personality to the project. The meter of a white oak and blackened steel stair screen was designed by the family to read “I love you” in Morse Code, and tile was selected throughout to reference places that hold special significance to the family. To support the owners’ comfort, the architectural design engages passive house technologies to reduce energy use, while increasing air quality within the home – a strategy which aims to respect the environment while providing a refuge from the harsh elements of urban living. This project was published by Wendy Goodman as her Space of the Week, part of New York Magazine’s Design Hunting on The Cut. Photography by Kevin Kunstadt
