The proportions of the original dining furniture were good but the finishes and shapes felt tired. That and the rusty red walls felt wrong for what our client was hoping to see. We changed the floors to pale wood-look tile and moved to a more transitional style of furniture. The magnificent chandelier by Kelly Wearstler set the elegant and clean tone for the whole space

Melanie's inspiration for this sunroom was the grand era of the 1920’s when the prosperous gold coast of Long Island was built. The Sun Room pays homage to the glamorous, opulent lifestyles of the wealthy industrialists who were the residents of the Gold Coast estates in the 1920’s. We preserved the original aged brick walls and intricate metal work in the windows and chose materials for the room that would reflect and refresh the original design. Melanie chose two teal and white Mamounia rugs from The Rug Company in silk and wool to reflect the pattern in the metal work on the windows. Natural light was a major component when designing the sun room so we used reflective objects from mirrored pillows, brass light fixtures, brass objects in addition to a huge brass wall mirror to capture the natural sun light in the room. The estate is set on 6 rolling acres of land, so we used oversized planters with boxwood, and a huge aceda palm tree in the oversized ottoman to bring that outdoors into the room. A one-of-a-kind natural, driftwood table with teal resin from Andrianna Shamara's brings more nature into the room and sits in front of the waterproof Vondom sofa which was custom-made in Valencia Spain. All of the seating in the Sun Room is outdoor furniture and waterproof. A huge Brass sputnik light fixture sits above the sun room reflecting more light into the large brass mirror. An Ironies honeycomb table brings in texture to the room and holds reflective brass candlesticks and large piece of turquoise Slag Glass sits on an Oscar De La Renta book, another American style icon. A Milo Baughman brass bar carts holds a Christofle Martini shaker, martini glasses and a Gabriella Crespi brass and crystal ice bucket would service the captains of industries who displayed their fortunes from the industrial revolution with lavish parties in the their grand estates to celebrate the opportunities and accomplishments that they had worked so hard to achieve. The unprecedented economic prosperity was a distinctly unique aspect of Americana when wealthy industrialists, a hard working generation, helped promote American design and American Dreams.

This is a buffet set up, could be used as a bar or media console. The lamps, buffet piece and blue chagall vases are all new, the ice bucket, glass genie bottle and marilyn print are all vintage.

This home, in a beautiful wooded setting, was purchased by a family who wanted a large gathering space for their family to relax and watch the occasional Cubs game. To warm up the tall-ceilinged space we used an abundance of rich woods and cozy upholstered pieces. Photo Michael Alan Kaskel.

In Season 5 of the Vanilla Ice Project, we transformed a mangled backyard into an infinity edge resort style pool that holds approximately 40,000 gallons of water. It has the classic and essential swim-up bar that is located right by the entertaining area outdoor kitchen. The beach deck leads right out of the backdoor into a sunken spa. This spa is set up to a system that removes water from the pool to reveal this glow-in-the-dark, sunken gem. The infinity edge overlooks the inter-coastal and is the best place to watch the sun set.

Classic shaker-style cabinetry doesn't always have to be white. Spruce up this timeless cabinet style with Juniper Berry, from Schrock Cabinetry, a cool, refreshing blue-grey cabinet finish. http://www.schrock.com/

This is a custom-built buffet with some storage attached and a new bookshelf. When client opens the large cabinet and shows women that she has everything she needs in one place for entertaining (wine glasses, ice bucket, wine carafe, appetizer plates, decorative bowls and platters, napkins…) they instantly “get it”. They all want one place where they can store that stuff and easily access it. This area is very close to the kitchen, yet reads separate: by having the buffet not go all the way to the ceiling, it becomes more like a furniture piece than a kitchen cabinet. Also, the wood being a different color than that used in the kitchen also sets it apart from being another kitchen cabinet.

The vignette within Barrett Technology’s Design Center is one of its kind in the industry. Built to inspire and inform, this kitchen showcases today’s most innovative solutions in real world settings. All the technology (video, audio, lighting, security and HVAC) is controlled through a single app on the iPad. Even the motorized window shades, task & accent lighting are controlled via the Lutron Lighting Control System. It allows for lighting scene selection at the touch of a single button – including a “Cook” scene which when pressed will activate the lighting to an optimal 100% over the kitchen sink & island areas and will also drop the motorized spice rack from behind the wall cabinet.

Mixing warm and cool metals was another theme throughout the model suite. The barcart displayed this perfectly with a mix of glass with gold pattern placed in an acrylic tray.
