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.

In 2024, we renovated this Muskoka cottage. This renovation was designed to improve livability and flow while preserving its rustic charm. We reconfigured the layout to create a new bedroom, a three-piece bathroom, and a dedicated laundry space. Pine-cladded beams now run across the open-concept living area, adding warmth and character. The front windows were enlarged and an additional window was added in the living room to let in more natural light. New flooring was installed throughout, the front door was updated, and a custom wood bed frame was built for the new bedroom. The bathroom features a sliding glass shower with classic subway tiles on the walls and slate tiles on the floor, offering a clean, natural look. A fireplace feature wall serves as a cozy focal point, bringing atmosphere and visual interest to the main living area.

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 modern Irvine bathroom remodel showcases a stunning frameless glass shower, combining elegance and practicality. The sleek shower features marble-inspired hexagon tile flooring that adds texture and visual interest to the space. Matte black hardware, including the door handles and recessed shower niche trim, provides a bold contrast against the light tile walls. A large rain shower head and hand shower elevate the functionality, offering a spa-like experience at home. Natural light pours through the frosted window, enhancing the bright, clean atmosphere. Wood-look porcelain flooring continues throughout the space, creating warmth with its neutral, modern tone. Every design element was carefully selected to create a luxurious yet functional bathroom retreat in the heart of Irvine.

The objective was to create a warm neutral space to later customize to a specific colour palate/preference of the end user for this new construction home being built to sell. A high-end contemporary feel was requested to attract buyers in the area. An impressive kitchen that exuded high class and made an impact on guests as they entered the home, without being overbearing. The space offers an appealing open floorplan conducive to entertaining with indoor-outdoor flow. Due to the spec nature of this house, the home had to remain appealing to the builder, while keeping a broad audience of potential buyers in mind. The challenge lay in creating a unique look, with visually interesting materials and finishes, while not being so unique that potential owners couldn’t envision making it their own. The focus on key elements elevates the look, while other features blend and offer support to these striking components. As the home was built for sale, profitability was important; materials were sourced at best value, while retaining high-end appeal. Adaptations to the home’s original design plan improve flow and usability within the kitchen-greatroom. The client desired a rich dark finish. The chosen colours tie the kitchen to the rest of the home (creating unity as combination, colours and materials, is repeated throughout). Photos- Paul Grdina

Here’s an interesting work I recently completed on a red Quarry tiled floor at a house in the town of Abington, Northampton. In post-war Britain (more specifically in the 1940s and 1950s), many new homes were built with Quarry tiled hallways and kitchens, so quite a popular feature back then. These floors are typically quite hard wearing and therefore ideal for such high traffic areas; additionally they don’t need a great deal of maintenance but their appearance will degrade over time. In this particular house, the Quarry tiled floor had been covered with linoleum for many years, causing significant patches of visible black mould. The floor also had a loose tile (which I promptly reset to mitigate the potential tripping hazard) and splashes of paint due to a lack of precaution while the house was being renovated. Needless to say, the floor needed a lot of work. Before beginning the cleaning I made sure to vacuum up all of the loose debris from the floor. I then applied Tile Doctor Remove & Go to the tiles, left it to dwell for a short period, and then agitated the area with a black stripping pad, adding water to aid the process. This helped to break down any old and ineffectual sealer, along with the paint splashes marking the tiles, leaving a much cleaner and more refined appearance. I followed this up with Tile Doctor Grout Clean-Up to eliminate the odd speck of cement and grout haze dating back to when the floor was first installed; Gout Clean-up has an acid base so it’s not advised to leave it on the tiles for too long, consequently as soon as I was happy it had done the job I rinsed it off with water and give the floor a thorough wash down. I used a wet-vacuum machine to extract as much water as possible and gave the floor a once over with steam cleaner which improves the evaporation of any remaining moisture by heating up the tiles. After completing the cleaning process, I left the house to allow time for the floor to dry completely. Upon my return, I conducted a damp test which showed the floor needed to dry further before sealing so I left an industrial fan in place for a couple of hours to help speed things up. Once I was satisfied that the floor was dry enough to take the sealant, I sealed the floor using Tile Doctor Colour Grow which is an interesting product that will not only provide durable stain protection but also improves the natural colours of the tile. While the floor required a lot of time and work to restore, I think you will agree the results were certainly worth waiting for. Phil Vissian Northamptonshire Tile Doctor

Awesome Norristown PA bi-level home remodel. We gutted the whole first level of this home down to the bare bones. We redesigned the space to an open floorplan. New structural framing, insulation, windows and doors, and all mechanicals were relocated and improved. Lighting! Lighting! Lighting! everywhere and it makes all the difference. Led lighting and smart switches were used for up lighting above cabinetry, task lighting under cabinetry, general room lighting, accent lighting under bar top, and all decorative fixtures as well. The kitchen was designed around a central island with elevated seating that is designed around the new structural columns required to open the whole area. Fabuwood cabinetry in Galaxy Horizon finish make up the perimeter cabinets accented by Galaxy Cobblestone finish used for the island cabinetry. Both cabinetry tones coordinate perfect with the new Luxury vinyl plank flooring in Uptown Chic Forever Friends. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, luxury vinyl is Awesome! It looks great its ultra durable and even water proof as well as less expensive than true hardwood. New stair treads, railings, and posts were installed stained to match by us; giving the steps new life. An accent wall of nickel gap boards was installed on the fireplace wall giving it some interest along with being a great clean look. The recessed niche behind the range, the dry stacked stone tile at the islands seating area, the new tile entry in a herringbone pattern just add to all the great details of this project. The New River White granite countertops are a show stopper as well; not only is it a beautiful stone the installation and seaming is excellent considering the pattern of the stone. I could go on forever we did so much. The clients were terrific and a pleasure to work with. I am glad we were able to be involved in making this dream come true.
