THE SETUP Initially, the kitchen in this prestigious Chicago Gold Coast residence lacked the sophistication and allure that our client desired. With a passion for marble and a vision for a space that would be as suitable for daily use as it was for entertaining, the homeowner sought a transformation that would introduce elegance and drama into the heart of her home. Design Objectives: Introduce opulent marble countertops to create a striking focal point Install a comprehensive high backsplash for continuity and luxe impact Update the range hood with a design that commands attention Refresh the cabinetry with a brighter, more modern finish. THE REMODEL Design Challenges: The quest for the ideal marble slabs was extensive and challenging. Our mission: find the right slabs and match them The homeowner’s preference against metal hoods prompted a creative redesign Design Solutions: We selected exquisite Calacatta Viola marble slabs that encapsulate the desired impact and drama A bespoke marble hood was crafted, serving as a unique and sophisticated component that complements the overall design THE RENEWED SPACE The transformation of this kitchen is nothing short of remarkable. Transitioning from a space that once felt underwhelming to one that exudes boldness and beauty, it now perfectly reflects the elegance and taste of its discerning owner. More than just a kitchen, it’s become a centerpiece for the home, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere for both everyday moments and grand entertaining.

Liberty wanted to transform her guest bathroom into a stylish yet functional space. The goal was to update the bathroom with modern fixtures and finishes while ensuring it remained practical for everyday use. The existing shower walls were removed down to the studs to start fresh. This initial step ensured a clean slate for the upcoming changes. A new Wyndham Collection's Grayley deep soaking bathtub was installed. In the shower area, the over-sized Staturio Lio polished porcelain wall tiles from The Tile Shop were chosen, arranged in a ⅓ offset repeating pattern for an more modern feel. To complete the shower area, the recessed shower niche was reframed for a longer size providing ample storage and tiled with Carrara Hex Porcelain tile from The Tile Shop adding a stylish flair. Significant upgrades were made to the vanity area, starting with new Sollid Three Series cabinets in a white shaker door for a clean and bright appearance. The LG Hausys Viatera quartz countertops in Calacatta Plata were chosen to complement the cabinetry. Liberty selected a large, rectangular, metal framed mirror along with two Kohler medicine cabinets providing her more storage space without sacrifices on looks. To complete the vanity setup, a new AllModern Eveline vanity light in brushed nickel was selected, tying the look together perfectly. To create a bright and clean environment, the walls, ceilings, baseboards, and doors were all painted in Sherwin-Williams Extra White.

THE SETUP Located in a luxury high rise in Chicago’s Gold Coast Neighborhood, the condo’s existing primary bath was “fine,” but a bit underwhelming. It was a sea of beige, with very little personality or drama. The client is very well traveled, and wanted the space to feel luxe and glamorous, like a bath in a fine European hotel. Design objectives: - Add loads of beautiful high end finishes - Create drama and contrast - Create luxe showering and bathing experiences - Improve storage for toiletries and essentials THE REMODEL Design challenges: - Unable to reconfigure layout due to location in the high rise - Seek out unique, dramatic tile materials - Introduce “BLING” - Find glamorous lighting Design solutions: - Keep existing layout, with change from built in to free-standing tub - Gorgeous Calacatta gold marble was our inspiration - Ornate Art deco marble mosaic to be the focal point, with satin gold accents to create shimmer - Glass and crystal light fixtures add the needed sparkle THE RENEWED SPACE After the remodel began, our client’s vision for her bath took a turn that was inspired by a trip to Paris. Initially, the plan was a modest design to allocate resources for her kitchen’s marble slabs… but then she had a vision while admiring the marble bathroom of her Parisian hotel. She was determined to infuse her bathroom with the same sense of luxury. They went back to the drawing board and started over with all-marble. Her new stunning bath space radiates glamour and sophistication. The “bling” flows to her bedroom where we matched the gorgeous custom wall treatment that mimics grasscloth on an accent wall. With its marble landscape, shimmering tile and walls, the primary bath’s ambiance creates a swanky hotel feel that our client adores and considers her sanctuary.

The lovely family of four had a small bathroom to share. Their shower was inadequate for the 6'4" homeowner. In order to provide them a more functional bathroom for them all, space was taken from one of the large bathrooms. We bumped the wall out a couple feet to provide these homeowner's with a large shower and linen cabinet storage space. They now have a beautiful transitional space that fits their needs. Initially the homeowner's were looking at a neutral beige palatte but fell in love with this grey color scheme. The grey, blue, and brown border tile helps pull all the colors together. The gorgeous Blue Pearl countertop provides a new element of color and complements the grey bathroom Mike Kaskel

Nestled in a Redwood forest, the house on Upper Moonraker is a cook's paradise with homage paid to the owners' love of crafts and exquisite home-carved wooden ducks. Sea Ranch Architect David Moulton AIA designed a hefty, hand-milled walnut island set over custom made cherry cabinets as the initial kitchen focal point. A mighty Wolf stove framed in stainless steel shelving provides the framework for power cooking and the owner's collection of bright red Le Creuset pots and pans. Wild Rice Ceasarstone countertops are a sleek but soft complement to a Rolf sink both wide and deep enough to accommodate large pots and pans and a Blanco pull-down faucet provides for easy clean up of freshly-picked garden vegetables. Adding to the ambiance of real cookery, a wrap-around wall-sized blackboard with stainless shelving provides the perfect place to keep track of often-used recipes, favorite spices, utensils, pots and pans. searanchimages.com

The Remodel Design challenges to be solved: The need to incorporate a washer and dryer without compromising existing bedroom/bathroom storage. Creating functional storage for a shared bathroom. Designing a space that is both child-friendly and timeless. Maximizing privacy in a shared bathroom. Adding personality without making the space feel overly juvenile. The Renewed Space Design solutions: Repurposed a small walk-in closet in an adjacent bedroom to house a stackable washer and dryer accessible from the hallway. Built a new, larger closet on the opposite side to maintain bedroom storage. Installed spacious base cabinets and drawers in each vanity area, ensuring sufficient storage for all three sisters. Used feminine yet subtle plaid patterned mosaic tiles, neutral countertops with light movement, and soft tones to ensure longevity and adaptability. Improved the Jill-and-Jill layout with two separate vanity areas and a shared toilet and shower zone. Kept pocket doors for enhanced privacy and space efficiency.
