WORK IT. The reconfigured kitchen even made room for an efficient workspace with storage below. Neutral finishes—matte flannel gray cabinets with terrazzo tops and oversized porcelain floor tiles—help make the space appear larger. The striking mottled shades of gray and brown tile also flow into the foyer and laundry room which add to the sense of style and space.

ROOM WITH A VIEW. Warm woods define the adjacent dining and living areas with coordinating teak cabinetry and dark hardwood flooring. The kitchen’s porcelain floor tile doubles as cladding for the half-wall beneath the island bar. Simple window treatments and coordinated lighting brighten the space in day and night.

This storage cabinetry was built for a young teacher who is very committed to her profession - teaching. She had accumulated many teaching materials that she used on a regular basis and really needed proper storage space. She needed storage that would let her get her materials organized and be easily accessible to her. When all was said and done she was more than pleased!! Check out our review from "Cooper82".

In the dining room we carried through the statement fabric for the custom made valence that was used in the living room. We used simple sheers on the bottom section of the window as a cost saving measure as shades were not needed here.

This is the after picture of the living room windows. The top down bottom up feature of the shades allows for easy adjustment of the light from day to night time. The new white linen curtains add a fresh and airy feel to the room. And the custom valence effectively hides the corner pipes.

The furniture was timeless and of high quality so we chose to reupholster everything in fresh yet traditional fabrics to complement her collection of oriental carpets and Americana quilts.

The client's favorite colors of light blue, red and pink were used to created a lovely fresh and traditional living room. The colors were carefully selected to complement her existing oriental rugs and quilts.

A before picture of the living room window treatment. There are heating pipes that run above the corners of the window to service the radiator. Now that new construction in the form of high rises has been built across the park the light at night would glare through her windows which was quite jarring.
