This kitchen renovation in Bel Air, Maryland transformed a dark, closed-off space into a bright, functional open-concept kitchen connected to the adjacent living area. By expanding the existing pass-through, the layout now allows for improved natural light, better flow, and stronger visual connection between spaces. The design features custom inset cabinetry, combining painted perimeter cabinets with dark-stained white oak cabinetry at the peninsula. A color-drenched pantry with a custom library ladder adds storage and visual interest. The kitchen is anchored by a La Cornue CornuFé 90 range in black with polished brass accents, creating a striking focal point. Additional elements include open wall shelving, glass-front cabinetry with integrated interior lighting, panel-ready appliances, and layered kitchen lighting to support both function and ambiance. The result is a refined, welcoming kitchen designed for everyday living and entertaining.

Thomspon Remodeling completed a total renovation of this condo and infused the owner's traditional design aesthetic by updating finishes and improving functionality. A wall was removed to create an open floor plan between the kitchen and family room, two bathrooms were remodeled, a new fireplace surround was added, and the main staircase was updated. Notice the unique tile designs used in the kitchen, fireplace surround, and master bath. The rich, textured brown horizontal tile suits this owner's personal style and is carried throughout the condo. Above the stove, a herringbone inset was added to create a focal point. The guest bathroom features a floating vanity, which gives this traditional space a little bit of a modern edge. The master bathroom has a fabulous tile feature wall above the double vanity. Lighting was carefully considered throughout to create the perfect balance with all the natural light in the main areas. Cool industrial style light fixtures add a pop of interest in the kitchen, entryway, and living room.

Added 22' long custom, linen-blend, ripple fold, stationary drapes in soft, sandy beige, mounted on black rods. Function: The drapes improve sound reverberations with their profound amount of sound-absorbing fabric. Design: Soft, neutral panels contrast gently with the white walls in the space and balance the dramatic floor-to-ceiling fireplace façade. The fabric softens the rigid rectangular windows and draw the eye up to the beautiful, organic chandelier. The soft grey-beige tone of the drapes and the shadows created by the ripple folds echo the mountains outside to draw a subtle connection between the two. Without the drapes, the room was still beautiful, but the top half of the room felt empty. The drapes give just the right visual interest and balance to complement the windows, ceiling, and fireplace without stealing the show.

This client wanted an colorful, full of life kitchen they could create the best food in and be as stunning to look at as well. For starters, we reconfigured some base cabinets to large deep drawers and also have trash/recycle pull outs. The top cabinets now are extended to the ceiling for more storage. A custom designed tall cabinet that maximizes the storage space with a few deep drawers a recycle pull out and a side cabinet for brooms and such. Also houses two oven/microwaves. Granite countertops were an improvement from the original Formica ones. We said bye bye to the blue wallpaper and hello to a fresh warm neutral on the walls to make way for the two tone blue cabinets. We did the flooring in a herringbone pattern for even more interest. A custom designed center medallion piece above the stove adds a personal touch and a nice focal piece. A great project and very happy clients!

These delightful homeowners came to us desirous of a kitchen with improved function, an open floor-plan and modernized look. Their dated kitchen was galley-style with a peninsula and was not conducive to cooking or entertaining. We began by removing a load bearing wall from the galley-style kitchen to create an open-concept kitchen that seamlessly connected the dining room, allowing for the use of an island providing more functional space. We relocated a window permitting the addition of more cabinets for storage and improved function. The custom white painted perimeter cabinets and stained maple island makes this kitchen classy and timeless. In addition to the kitchen transformation, we also refreshed their powder bath creating more space with a smaller wall-mount sink and toilet. We finished the update with new wallpaper and a light fixture. The result is a stunning kitchen, dining room and powder bath our homeowners can entertain and enjoy for years to come.

The juxtaposition of glossy charcoal concrete floors against pristine white walls and soaring ceilings sets a striking contemporary backdrop. Introducing organic elements alongside bold pops of color is a savvy move to infuse warmth and personality into the space while ensuring a timeless appeal. Incorporating luxury furnishings with modern lines elevates the aesthetic and ensures functionality and comfort. Artwork and taller plants and accessories serve as impactful focal points, effectively balancing the grandeur of the soaring ceilings while adding visual interest and depth to the rooms. The fusion of sleek design with comfort and livability creates a harmonious environment that's both inviting and stylish. The space is aesthetically pleasing and tailored to the new homeowners' lifestyle and preferences—a true modern masterpiece!

The Sleek Hermosa Beach Custom Stairs & Railings Installation project was all about combining style and functionality to create a stunning focal point in the home. The homeowners wanted a modern, open-concept design that would elevate their coastal living space. We designed and installed custom stairs with rich wood treads, paired with sleek metal railings to bring a contemporary touch while maintaining the home's airy, beach-inspired aesthetic. The open risers and minimalist railing design not only enhance the flow of natural light but also create an elegant, spacious feel throughout the multi-level area. Our team worked closely with the homeowners to select the perfect materials and finishes, ensuring the staircase would be both durable and visually striking. We sourced high-quality, locally available materials from Hermosa Beach suppliers to reflect the essence of the area and provide long-lasting craftsmanship. This new staircase has transformed the home's interior, adding both architectural interest and improved functionality for daily use.

The new kitchen design includes double islands which helped improve circulation and provide direct access to the breakfast nook. At the opening, we opted for a two-tiered countertop with bar-height seating ideal for entertaining. The distinct blue-green island offers a pop of color against the backdrop of white counters, cabinets and backsplash. The textured zellige-style subway tile adds visual interest and pairs beautifully with the subtly veined quartz countertops, keeping the space feeling light and bright. The new layout transforms the kitchen’s flow and the bright and welcoming breakfast nook is no longer cut off by the old peninsula. The center island provides a generous amount of prep space and storage and houses a stainless farmhouse sink, dishwasher, and trash roll-outs on one side with an additional bank of cabinets on the other. A new 6-burner gas cooktop was installed with a custom wood hood above. We incorporated a new microwave drawer and were able to repurpose our client’s existing double wall ovens and refrigerator that were only a few years old.
