This amazing kitchen is the central focus of this home. The Glacier white cabinets from Wellborn give you a pristine background to make the space feel clean, calm, and elegant. The beautiful curved wood hood is from Wellborn as well. It looks stunning on the back wall between the windows. There are custom refrigerator panels on the Sub-Zero appliance. The island is a beautiful new stain from Wellborn called DRIFT. It is a gray/brown stain that looks fabulous with the Silestone Ariel quartz on the island. The wide planks on the back of the island give the same tongue and groove look as the beautiful painted ceiling. This kitchen is not lacking in storage or in counter surface. It is a fantastic, functioning, and aesthetically pleasing space! This particular area has a hutch look to it with large wall cabinets down to the countertop. Several appliances could be stored in these cabinets and there are outlets in the back of each. The decorative toe space adds to the furniture look.

The fact that this home is in a development called Providence now seems perfectly fitting. Chris, the owner, was merely considering the possibility of downsizing from a formal residence outside Atlanta when he happened on the small complex of luxury brownstones under construction in nearby Roswell. “I wandered into The Providence by chance and loved what I saw. The developer, his wife, and the agent were there and discussing how Cantoni was going to finish out one of the units, and so we all started talking,” Chris explains “They asked if I wanted to meet with the designer from Cantoni, and suggested I could customize the home as I saw fit, and that did it for me. I was sold.” Cantoni was originally approached by Mike and Joy Walsh, of Lehigh Homes, to create a contemporary model home to be featured on the Roswell Woman’s Club home tour. “Since Chris bought the brownstone right after we agreed to do the design work,” Lorna Hunter recalls, “we brought him in on the meetings with the architects to help finalize the layout.” From selecting tile and counter tops, to designing the kitchen and baths, to the furniture, art and even linens—Cantoni was involved with every phase of the project. “This home really represents the complete range of design and staging services we offer at Cantoni,” says Lorna. “Rooms were reconfigured to allow for changes Chris found appealing, and every tile and doorknob was thoughtfully chosen to complete the overall look.” Chris found an easy rapport with Lorna. “I have always been drawn to contemporary décor,” he explains, “ so Lorna and I hit it off immediately.” Among the custom design ideas the two conceived for the 2,600 sq. ft. 3/3 brownstone: creating a “wing wall” (open on both sides) to form a sitting area adjacent to the guest room downstairs, removing the elevator to enhance a sense of openness while leaving the 3-story shaft as a unique focal point, and choosing to expand the height of windows on the third level to maximize the flow of natural light. The Providence is ideally located near quaint shops, great restaurants, jogging trails and a scenic river—not to mention it’s just four miles from Chris’ office. The project represents the breadth and depth of Cantoni’s in-house creative resources, and proves again that GREAT DESIGN IS A WAY OF LIFE.

Living room - transitional living room idea in Boston

In the beach-side town of Asbury Park, New Jersey, stands Palomino Blackwing, a newly renovated 1920s Art Deco building. Now home to 23 modern duplex apartments, the building was designed with sustainable living in mind. Rather than seeking more space, the ideal design was shifted to using space ingeniously. Some highlights of each unit include: The Atoll 000 sofa/wall bed system transforms the living room into a guest bedroom for two when needed. A Lollisoft bunk bed system with a desk, which allows the downstairs flex space to function in multiple ways as needed: a home office/work space, lounge, or bedroom for two. The two steel frame, single beds easily fold down and comfortably accommodate two children or adults. Goliath transforming Console/Dining Table eliminates the need for a separate dining room, yet can easily accommodate up to 10 people. Folding Pocket Chairs that are less than 1” deep when closed; 8 chairs are stored on a rack less than 5.5” deep and hung on the wall above the Goliath.

The lower level is ideal for adults and kids. The billiards room has space for numerous games. Soft arches are repeated throughout the lower level. Photo Credit: David Bader

The island bar also helps traffic flow around it and allows people to get behind the bar and mix drinks rather than having one person stuck behind it. Neighboring the bar area is the family room. The spaces are open to one another, which makes it easy to accommodate large group. Photo Credit - David Bader
