This remodel project started to solve the problem of a kitchen that was too small for the homeowner to have her weekly family dinners in. The kitchen designer Jennifer worked with the owner to balance her vision, her needs, and her budget. Together they made her dream come true. Featuring white shaker doors with bead detail, Tangier Granite, stacking molding, and a Wood Cove Hood, this kitchen has everything it needs to create memories. The cabinets are Sterling White Shaker Boardwalk Maple, Tangier Granite Countertops, and hand cut Italian white subway tiles with pops of grey. The hardware and lighting is matte black to contrast with the white and grey tones throughout. Every detail of this kitchen remodel was thoroughly thought through. From the high stacking crown molding to the interior of the cabinets using rev-a-shelf accessories.

This house is in the perfect location for this family with two young children but was lacking space and storage - two necessities for a growing family! To solve this problem, we added a three-story bump out to their home. With the new addition, we were able to increase the basement size for a larger playroom and storage. On the main level, we increased the kitchen size, a new guest suite, and a family room. On the top floor, we added a primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, and an en suite bathroom. We believe it is important to maintain the character of the home when adding an addition, especially this house that has a wonderful gingerbread character with lots of period architectural details on the exterior. We were able to replicate the original details of the home on the new addition to keep the character and charm. A unique addition to this home is the bi-fold window in the expanded part of the kitchen that opens to the new patio. The window ledge makes it easy for passing food to and from the guests on the patio!

West Des Moines two story homes create challenges for homeowners with layouts including small rooms that don’t seem to flow together. The family that lives in this home found that entertaining and gathering in the kitchen was almost impossible with the current layout and asked for an addition to solve the problem. After listening to the challenges of that they faced and working with the homeowners, a new solution emerged without an addition, reducing the overall budget and allowing the whole main floor to be updated. By removing the wall between the kitchen and dinning room, the team was able to design an island for family and friends to congregate around. Then by flanking the island with a large commercial range surrounded by a custom backsplash and custom hood a picture perfect kitchen was born. Lastly by repeating elements within the range hood, island and fireplace, the team was able to create unity throughout the space. This visually makes the space feel larger and feels like the addition was built

The most compact opening system from MilcasaStore has a self-explanatory name - COMPACK. Interior doors are equipped with a pivoting and sliding mechanism that simultaneously solves 2 problems - saving space and creating a modern interior. When opened, each door leaf is folded in half and placed along the wall, occupying an area 2 times less than its own surface. This is convenient when furniture and decor items are located close to the opening. Its undeniable advantages: ☑️ in the closed position does not lose sound insulation ☑️ does not reduce the light opening ☑️ moves smoothly and silently ☑️takes up 2 times less space in comparison with a conventional door

This condo community in Miami Lakes hired me to design a low-maintenance Mediterranean-inspired revision to their existing landscape. The finished concept is an asymmetrical, gardenesque landscape featuring lots of classic Mediterranean xeric plants such as agave, furcraea and society garlic, all of which are drought tolerant and also tolerate the varying shade & shadow conditions that exist in the entrance. I chose lots of whites, pale pinks, blues and silvers to evoke the essence of Mediterranean style gardens. Using fine-textured grasses and flowers to soften the bold architecture makes the entrance much more soft and inviting. Two seating areas near the main driveway were underused due to lack of shade and color; these problems were solved by installing silver buttonwood trees to give shade, and replacing high-maintenance turfgrass areas with lower maintenance beds of river rock and groundcover.

This house needed a total make-over. My clients wanted a solution between living room and serre which added more light and storing space. Mood Interieur was hired to suggest a new floor plan and to act as a sparring partner. The wall with ceiling high sliding doors and a cupboard over the whole lenght of the wall in the serre solved the light and storing problem. Mood Interieur also designed the tv cupboard and wardrobe closet. All the dark colours were replaced by fresh, white colours combined with greige. A colour which beautifully interacts with the shabby-chic Flexform sofa en the greige blue Bomat carpet. The white and wood Arco tablet tables go perfectly with the white tv-cupboard and new doors. Furniture and curtains are suggested and delivered by Mood Interieur.

The History Modernized project was designed to solve the problem of a complicated and confined kitchen space in a beautiful turn of the century home. Our clients need for functionality, maximum use of space, and beauty led us to an amazing split kitchen design that allowed for two usable, overlapping work zones in an odd and elongated space. Within this design we were able to open the kitchen to the existing dining area and create bar seating on the dining room side of the kitchen while modernizing the openness of the plan. Personally, we think function and Beauty tied on this one!
