• Design Elements: To achieve a transitional look, the client selected two-toned shaker-style cabinetry that blends timeless charm with contemporary appeal. Navy blue base cabinets anchor the design with rich contrast, while light wood wall cabinets and a coordinating range hood add warmth and balance. Modern elements were introduced through sleek quartz countertops, which extend seamlessly up the wall as a full-height backsplash and waterfall gracefully down the side of the peninsula. This peninsula also provides integrated seating, creating a functional and stylish space for dining and entertaining. • Functional Improvements: On the wall opposite of the kitchen, additional cabinetry was incorporated to maximize storage and create a dedicated coffee bar. Tall pantry cabinets were installed to provide more storage, while upper cabinets with glass doors introduced both function and style. The glass-front cabinetry features a matching wood interior and integrated lighting, offering a warm glow that highlights the displayed glassware and adds a touch of elegance to the overall design.

Megan Alderson from Reico Kitchen and Bath in Salem, VA, designed a modern kitchen and powder room featuring Ultracraft cabinetry. The kitchen includes Ultracraft cabinets in the Adriatic door style with a Shark finish, paired with Cambria Portrush quartz countertops and a full-height backsplash. The powder room features the same door style in an Edgewater High Gloss finish. Megan shared, “We reworked the layout to improve workflow by removing an island, relocating the range, and moving the refrigerator. The selections were beautiful and perfect for a lake house! They wanted a focal point on the back of the peninsula, so we used molding to create an architectural detail. Ultracraft didn’t offer this type of panel, so we got creative to achieve a reeded panel look. The clients had a clear vision, and we worked together to bring it to life. It was a labor-intensive process, but the result was worth it!” Photos courtesy of Bob Sowder of The Sowder Group.

Miele Appliances at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center 26767 Agoura Road, Calabasas, CA 91302 Phone 818.880.0011 Fax 818.880.0411 12050 Ventura Blvd.,Studio City, CA 91604 Phone 818.755.1111 Fax 818.755.9111 www.uakc.com Miele Generation 6000 is bringing design and innovation that exceed expectations. It includes two distinct design styles - PureLine and ContourLine - as well as several color options including Brilliant White and Truffle Brown. Design for Miele is not simply the exterior. Like the design principle, form follows function; the true beauty of the Generation 6000 series is highlighted by its intuitive user interface, which ensures unsurpassed performance and convenience in the kitchen. With these new color options and the uniform design of the Generation 6000 series, Miele has created a series of appliances that will seamlessly integrate into any kitchen or lifestyle. Whether appliances are installed vertically, horizontally, as a square or in a T-shape configuration, the design is fully resolved. M Touch – Top-class technology with a special touch Whether it’s creating a double cappuccino at the touch of a single button, finding the desired MasterChef automatic program on the Combi-Steam Oven in an instant or selecting the operating mode and temperature in just a few simple steps – Miele eliminates the guesswork. All of these operations are easier than ever because of M Touch. Reminiscent of smart phones and tablets, M Touch is an intuitive user interface that allows the user to swipe or scroll through the menu with the tip of a finger. A new high resolution control panel with white TFT (Thin Film Transistor) text brings a brilliant display. And because the interface is universal across all Gen 6000 appliances, the transition from appliance to appliance is easier than ever. Oven Innovations: Moisture Plus, Gourmet Center and MultiSteam Developed exclusively for Miele USA, Moisture Plus is a truly unique steam injection system featured in Miele M Touch 30” Convection Ovens. Moisture Plus automatically injects a burst of steam into the oven cavity at pre-determined points during the cooking process. The addition of moisture improves results when proofing dough, gives loaves of bread a crisp crust and glossy finish and makes cuts of meat particularly crisp on the outside and succulent inside. Also new to the 30” Convection Oven is the addition of MasterChef Plus programs. Ideal for the consummate baker at home, this exclusive new menu system houses 14 automatic bread programs and replicates results seen in artisan bakeries. Included are programs for sourdough, whole grain, rolls and baguettes. A pioneer in steam oven technology, Generation 6000 Steam and Combi-Steam Ovens are equipped with MultiSteam technology, a revolutionary new steam cooking generation. The addition of six steam inlets in the Steam Oven and eight steam inlets in the Combi-Steam Oven, delivers fast, even steam distribution and incredibly quick heat-up times for even cooking results through a more powerful steam generator. Long regarded for its ingredient-driven menu, Miele MasterChef programs are now located within the Gourmet Center. Choose from more than 100 easy to use programs for grains, vegetables, meats, fish and poultry. At just the touch of a button, the program will deliver menu options that guide the user step by step - from the desired oven mode to temperature - all resulting in the perfect dish. Generation 6000 Coffee Systems impress with comfort and innovation There are several new highlights to the Generation 6000 Whole Bean Coffee System including a new CupSensor, EasyClick Milk System and One Touch for Two features. Exclusive to Miele, the CupSensor automatically adjusts the height of the spout to the optimum position for different cup and glass sizes. Whether a tall latté macchiato or a dainty espresso is being prepared, the central spout automatically adjusts to the cup’s rim and eliminates splashing. The CupSensor even reacts precisely to beverages made with milk by raising the spout slightly to make room for the incoming espresso. Also new is the EasyClick milk system which is a dishwasher safe glass, milk flask that effortlessly clicks into place at the front of the machine. And for easy maintenance, the new Miele Coffee Systems now automatically rinse all milk spouts and hoses with water after each use. The One Touch for Two feature allows the user to prepare two coffee specialties such as cappuccino and latté macchiato at the same time, thus reducing prep time when two or more drinks are being served. Miele Generation 6000 series is distinguished by its elegant design and remarkable innovations to deliver unmatched results that can be seen, touched and tasted. German engineered and tested to last 20 years, Generation 6000 reinforces the Miele Design for Life philosophy and solidifies Miele at the forefront of residential culinary appliances.

We partnered up with Furtado Contracting to update the kitchen in this stunning 100 year old house in Vancouver. The vision was to freshen up the dated cabinetry and countertops to a style that would lend well to the age of the home, while providing more storage and new appliances. Layout: The gas range was previously hidden from the dining room by a pony wall. It was decided early on to remove the pony wall, opening the space visually while providing added counter space behind the range. The removal of the pony wall also allowed us to add additional storage on the dining room side of the kitchen. The fridge was the next item to be relocated. Previously encroaching into the walkway, the fridge was previously placed where our new microwave lives. The fridge now sits in the perfect spot, next to a narrow open-self cabinet which was another wish list from the client, to display bottles and decorative items. Storage in this kitchen increased by mounting the upper cabinets to the ceiling and improving the lower cabinets by adding more drawers and interior accessories like pullouts, spice storage and a super-susan in the base-corner cabinet. Materials: The materials used were extra important to this renovation to ensure we complimented the age of the home. To achieve the right look, shaker doors were used on all cabinets. The painted white cabinets were constructed of a Maple species and painted in Benjamin Moores ‘Silver Satin’. On the base cabinets, a Cherry species was used in a warm stain. To brighten up the room, Caesarstone countertops in ‘Frosty Carrina’ were paired with a white tile in a subway pattern from Olympia Tile. The details on the crown moulding, door-style panels, cabinetry hardware, kitchen faucet and pendant light fixture are what made this space feel warm and welcoming for the 21st century.

2012 NARI CAPITAL COTY, FINALIST AWARD WINNER, RESIDENTIAL KITCHEN $50,000 to $100,000 “Crowded and disturbing” is how the woman of the house described this kitchen. A big peninsula with a huge range hood blocked the kitchen off from the breakfast room, a chimney style wall blocked off another side of the space and the doorways were too narrow. The result was a cramped feel with no traffic flow and a lack of usable storage. To remedy these issues, the remodeling plan called for regrouping all tall kitchen elements into a low visibility wall, eliminating the peninsula and then creating a natural path through the space using a middle island. Relocating the stove against the room’s back wall allowed the installation of a beautiful wood mantel hood and improved the work triangle. The side walls house beautiful custom white cabinets; one side housing the pantry, refrigerator and double wall ovens, the other the kitchen sink and dishwasher. The center island features a mahogany wood countertop and provides plenty of workspace above and storage below. Contrasting with the glazed cabinets, the woodwork is a highlight of the project and a key part of delivering on the homeowner’s desire for a bright, clean kitchen. They installed exotic mahogany floors that complement the center wood Island. The floors also had created a casual ambiance, especially against the soft lemon chiffon wall paint. The ultimate French country style kitchen was completed by furnishing the old breakfast area with casual seating rather than a formal table.

Sometimes the best solution isn't the one you originally planned. This homeowner wanted to add an island and stacked cabinets to gain more storage in her small kitchen. After months of waiting for another contractor to provide a quote, she turned to a friend for a recommendation—and that's how she found Kitchen Solvers. After evaluating the space, we recommended a different approach that would solve more of her challenges while maximizing her investment. We installed new 42" upper cabinets for additional storage, refaced the base cabinets to match, created a custom refrigerator surround, and added a beautiful wood island that brings warmth and character to the space. To complete the transformation, we paired Matterhorn Dolomite countertops with the existing mosaic backsplash, saving the homeowner money by incorporating elements she already had. We also installed a new flat-top range, added roll-out trays for improved organization, and finished the space with floating shelves around the window for a warm, custom touch. The result is a kitchen that feels larger, functions better, and has become a space she loves to cook, gather, and entertain in. Best of all, the entire transformation was completed in just a few weeks!

Bonnie wanted to refresh her kitchen by keeping what she loved and upgrading what no longer worked, blending subtle luxury with practicality, all without changing the existing layout. The original cabinets and flooring were kept, but the kitchen was elevated with several smart updates. Soft-close hidden hinges were added to the cabinet doors, and new brushed satin nickel pulls from TopKnobs brought a clean, modern look. Countertops were replaced with Arizona Tile’s Della Terra Quartz in the Ripieno Honed finish. Two waterfall ends and a backsplash wrapping into the window sides created a sleek, seamless look. A Kraus Turino sink and Delta Emmeline faucet were installed, along with a matching soap dispenser. Under-sink plumbing was also updated for proper function. To improve lighting and airflow, a new ceiling fan with silver blades and six LED bulbs was installed. Additionally, eight electrical devices were updated with white Decora-style outlets and switches for a more contemporary look. Bonnie also opted to install a new 30” GE electric cooktop with knob controls in stainless steel, placed right where the original was while keeping the wall mirror intact behind it.

These clients loved the historic details of their classic Portland Bungalow, but wished for modern updates to improve livability. We were able to capture square footage to the kitchen by removing an unused chimney allowing us to increase additional work surface with the addition of a narrow island. Where traffic flow previously moved directly across the work triangle, the new layout keeps cooking activities within one zone of the kitchen and shifting traffic flow to another zone, allowing their daughter and four-legged family members to run through the space freely! High-end appliances create a luxury cooking experience. Crisp surfaces and colors create a light and bright space while classically sized crown and trim profiles draw the eye up and around the room offering a feeling of expanse in a modestly sized footprint. The blue and white color pallet offer a subtle reminder to coastal and tropical environments … the client’s favorite place to escape!

This beach house was not only dated but the kitchen was suffering from a wall that closed it off and a peninsula that cut the space in half. Those were the first things we corrected. The wall was removed which opened the space up. The new layout has a large island instead of the peninsula for better flow and entertaining. This home is across the street from the beach so our design cues came from the ocean and natural surroundings. Our color pallet is white and coastal blue for the cabinets. The new luxury vinyl plank floor is light like the sand. The glass backsplash tile and quartz countertops carry the coastal feel. The main bathroom for the lower level is off the kitchen. We improved the shower size and updated all of the finishes. This beach house is now bright and open with a warm coastal feel.

This stunning kitchen renovation strikes a balance between modern luxury and timeless design. The heart of the home now features navy blue custom cabinetry with elegant brass hardware, a crisp white quartz countertop island with warm wood base, and statement pendant lighting that adds a touch of glam. A patterned backsplash behind the pro-grade range creates visual interest, while subway tile keeps the space classic and bright. The layout was reimagined to improve functionality and flow, allowing for effortless entertaining and everyday use. Large French doors flood the room with natural light and offer seamless access to the backyard, making this space the perfect hub for family and guests alike. From the sleek stainless appliances to the stylish island seating, every detail was chosen to enhance both beauty and usability.

✨ BEFORE & AFTER -- Step Repair ? ☎ Call Mike Boyd at 757-412-5630 to discuss your next masonry project. The square pavers on the landing were removed and replaced with Brookstown Full Range Modular Pavers from Pine Hall Brick Company, Inc. These traditional wire-cut, square-edge clay pavers complement the existing brick beautifully. The old, deteriorating mortar joints were ground out and filled with new mortar (Workrite 2906 N Old Colonial from York Building Products). After that, the area was cleaned using an acid wash designed for brick (@Prosoco SureKlean 600), which effectively dissolves mortar smears and construction dirt without causing acid burns or streaks. Repointing rejuvenates the old brick's appearance and helps prevent water from seeping into the joints. ✨ Want to restore your entryway? Give us a call! ☎ 757-412-5630 ?

The homeowner expressed a desire to open up a mostly enclosed kitchen with narrow entry that did not fully take advantage of the beautiful exterior views of the property. The owner, as someone who loves to cook, also desired to improve the functionality and take design inspiration from countryside kitchens in England. We opened the kitchen to the beautiful gardens and pool on the surrounding wooded lot. In addition to ample prep and storage space, the full Miele cooking package including a combi-steam oven and an extra-large farm sink all work together to make cooking and entertaining as efficient as it is fun. By borrowing some floor space from an adjoining over-sized powder room, we were able to create a spacious entrance featuring a bench, coat storage and a hutch with many drawers for hats and gloves as well as open shelving for display. We maximized extra space in the design by adding a custom built-in wet bar with walnut accents and open shelving that is perfect for entertaining guests. Along with the large bank of new doors and windows, we achieved a simple yet detailed kitchen and island with a subdued palette accented with splashes of vivid color and gleaming English brass fixtures taking full advantages of beautiful views and natural light.

Kate & Mike wanted to transform their kitchen into a fresh, functional, and stylish space. Their goals were clear: a modern layout, improve functionality, and add personalized touches while retaining key elements. During the design phase, careful planning ensured every detail, from cabinet storage to lighting placement, aligned with their vision for a bright and efficient kitchen. New Waypoint Painted Linen cabinets redefined the space with clean, timeless style, enhanced by traditional crown molding and square light rail molding. Elements Slade Satin Nickel knobs and pulls completed the design. Quartzite Blue Tahoe countertops were chosen to elevate the kitchen's appeal. The surface was unified to one level, with a stunning waterfall end and a 12-inch overhang extending into the living room for added seating and function. A Vintage Grey Scallop Mesh backsplash was installed under the upper cabinets and above the stovetop, adding texture and personality to the space. A new Alfi Farmhouse Fireclay Single Basin Sink was installed, paired with a Delta Essa Arctic Stainless Pull-Down Faucet and a new InSinkErator Badger garbage disposal with an air switch for added convenience. The kitchen layout was redefined by extending the peninsula and cutting down the pony wall to match cabinet height. The soffit was removed to open up the ceiling, with new drywall and texture seamlessly integrated.

This light and airy bathroom exudes a tranquil and refreshing atmosphere with its harmonious color palette of blues, greens, creams, and whites. The space is anchored by a stylish bathroom vanity featuring a sleek quartz countertop, offering both elegance and functionality. Above the vanity, a decorative glass backsplash adds a touch of sophistication, reflecting light beautifully to enhance the room's brightness. The tiled shower serves as a focal point, with thoughtfully arranged tiles that showcase the blues and greens in the design. A built-in niche adds convenience and aesthetic appeal, making the shower both practical and visually engaging. The floor tiles seamlessly tie the space together, providing texture and grounding the airy ambiance. This cohesive design blends natural hues and materials to create a spa-like retreat that’s as stylish as it is serene.
