"A total structural transformation in Stuart, Martin County. For the Miller project, we knew 'the wall had to go' to create the open, high-functioning space the home deserved. We executed a full 'Studs Out' restoration, intentionally leaving out upper cabinets to achieve a clean, airy transitional look. Featuring precision-fit floor-to-ceiling pantry storage and a custom-integrated range hood, this mission proves our 'One Job at a Time' commitment to perfection in Martin County."

Kevin and Mary enlisted our services with the objective to modernize their antiquated kitchen. Their goals weren't restricted to a purely aesthetic overhaul; they asked us to devise a layout that prioritized better organization and storage options with improved lighting. We took great care to remove all the old components of the kitchen, then we proceeded to install the new Dove White Shaker style cabinets, and a larger contrasting island. In their pursuit of a perfect blend of aesthetics and utility, they selected Victoria White Quartz Countertops for the perimeter cabinets, and balanced that with the compelling elegance of White Ice Granite Countertops for the kitchen island. The selection of Flash Ivory 3x12 ceramic wall tiles were selected for the backsplash. A custom made range hood was installed breaking up the monotony of the wall cabinets and finishing off their gorgeous new kitchen.

Created a raised bar at sink area to block view of kitchen sink and counters from foyer and family room. Reworked peninsula to improve casual seating. Removed range and created cooktop area. Moved closet pantry to create space for oven and microwave.

This modern farmhouse kitchen is in a former 1820s stable converted into a home. Natural cherry and soft green painted cabinet finishes paired with Zellige tile accents and beamed ceilings reflect the vintage character of the old barn and compliment the open plan of the space. The Sub-Zero refrigerator is hidden in plain sight while the 48” Wolf range and steam oven are positioned perfectly, allowing this family to stay together while cooking, socializing and eating. By moving the cramped kitchen to the opposite side of the home, this Morris County New Jersey kitchen and bath remodeler was able to take advantage of a much larger and underutilized space while also improving the overall flow in the remainder of the home.

This Clarks Hill farmhouse kitchen was worn-out and awkwardly closed off from the dining space. The homeowner wanted new appliances and needed the paneling to be removed. Riverside Construction updated the design by creating an island with seating for two. We also opened up the space to the dining room by removing a wall. The space was brightened up using white shaker style cabinets with clean lines and hi-definition laminate counter tops. Cork flooring was added to create a nice contrast. Additionally, Riverside moved the range from the closed off wall to the left leg of the kitchen, improving the workflow in the kitchen. School house lights and beaded paneling on the island were added to bring back the charm of the early 1900’s.

An addition expanded the size of the original kitchen, allowing for a center island and improved functionality. A herringbone tile installation on the focal wall dresses up the space and creates subtle movement, while highlighting the large gas range and beautiful gold pot filler. Upper cabinets are used only on the adjacent walls, balancing storage needs with aesthetics, and allowing light on two sides of the kitchen.

Dionne & Matt decided to refresh their kitchen to enhance its functionality and aesthetic appeal, with a vision to maintain the essence of their home while upgrading to more contemporary features. In this comprehensive makeover, the kitchen was entirely stripped down and cleared, setting the stage for a vibrant new beginning. They added a blend of elegance and practicality with Waypoint's Painted Linen for the perimeter and Painted Navy for the island, complemented by a striking Sollid Cognac Alder range hood. Cabinet hardware from Amerock's Blackrock collection in Champagne Bronze and various cabinet accessories were carefully chosen to maximize storage efficiency and accessibility. The kitchen's utility was further improved by installing a new garbage disposal and reworking ductwork and electrical systems to accommodate the new layout and appliances. MSI Calacatta Elysio quartz countertops with a sleek mitered edge were expertly fitted. The backsplash, using textured 3" x 12" subway tiles, extends from counter to ceiling.

This Shaker kitchen in Brockenhurst was created as part of a full reconfiguration of the home, relocating the kitchen to a brighter position with direct access to the garden. The cabinetry is from the Mackintosh Sovereign range, finished in Painted Spitfire, a soft blue tone that brings a calm feel to the space. Worktops are in 20mm Leathered Luna Grey, adding a subtle texture and depth. Appliances are by NEFF and are integrated to maintain a clean, cohesive look throughout the kitchen. At the centre of the design is an L-shaped island, created to improve flow and movement around the space. The clients introduced their own live oak feature, raising part of the island surface and bringing a natural, tactile element into the room. Visit our website for more kitchen designs.

Relocating to Portland, Oregon from California, this young family immediately hired Amy to redesign their newly purchased home to better fit their needs. The project included updating the kitchen, hall bath, and adding an en suite to their master bedroom. Removing a wall between the kitchen and dining allowed for additional counter space and storage along with improved traffic flow and increased natural light to the heart of the home. This galley style kitchen is focused on efficiency and functionality through custom cabinets with a pantry boasting drawer storage topped with quartz slab for durability, pull-out storage accessories throughout, deep drawers, and a quartz topped coffee bar/ buffet facing the dining area. The master bath and hall bath were born out of a single bath and a closet. While modest in size, the bathrooms are filled with functionality and colorful design elements. Durable hex shaped porcelain tiles compliment the blue vanities topped with white quartz countertops. The shower and tub are both tiled in handmade ceramic tiles, bringing much needed texture and movement of light to the space. The hall bath is outfitted with a toe-kick pull-out step for the family’s youngest member!

THE SETUP Once these empty nest homeowners decided to stay put, they knew a new kitchen was in order. Passionate about cooking, entertaining, and hosting holiday gatherings, they found their existing kitchen inadequate. The space, with its traditional style and outdated layout, was far from ideal.
