The new owner of this 1970's condo wondered what to do with the antiquated, never used fireplace and wall encasing an original galley kitchen. My first instinct was, take the whole thing down! We did, and it's now an open, social, practical and beautiful space .

Seeking a sense of adventure? Is your animal instinct coiled and waiting, ready to spring to life at the perfect moment? If you’re in New York City, head down to Chinatown to Live Axe bar and gaze upon the wild work of Nouvo Countertops. The restroom installation, with distinctive Nero Marquina marble utilized for the triple sink, is a study in dark neutrals. Both modern and fierce, the Nero, with its fine white veining against the deep black backdrop, acts as an anchor in the space; the look is completed with a graphic leaf print on the walls, hammered stainless steel sinks, and shiny black wall tiles. Why not take a walk on the wild side, and consider this look for your project?

Carolina Maholik from Reico Kitchen & Bath in Chantilly, VA, collaborated with Thomas Amooson and Patrick Dennis to design a transitional bathroom remodel featuring Ultracraft Cabinetry. The bathroom cabinets are the Daytona door style in an Urban Grey painted finish. The clients expressed how it was a dream to work with Carolina saying, “she has an exceptional eye for design and helped us through completing three bathroom projects. Not only is Carolina great with design but she also addresses any problems that arise. She clearly puts the customer first.” “The clients were wonderful to work with,” said Carolina. “They both have great design instincts and wanted each room to have a clear design while still matching the character of their home. I truly loved working with them for each bathroom and think each space came together beautifully on their own as well as a cohesive home.” Photo’s courtesy of BTW Images.

It’s about a shoemaker sometimes having no shoes. One day our own interior designer, Nathan Drewes, took a hard look at the guest suite in the dependency of his hundred-sixty-year-old house. What he saw made him aesthetically tank. While there may have been a few pieces of beloved family furniture, everything else looked dowdy, dusty, even drab. Tout suite he went right to the cobbler’s bench to reimagine the rooms. Clearly a few random patches weren’t going to be enough. The space needed total transformation. He realized a slick minimalist look would never work in those old rooms or make sense with the rest of the house. To be honest, it really didn’t reflect his taste anyway. Nathan happened to have a budding neo-classical collection, begun while still in college. For some time he had been itching to reassemble it in an appropriate setting. Despite being a millennial, his instincts led him to evoke a reverie of a luxury-loving 19th century New Orleans gentleman. Inspired by strong palettes of the past and textured interiors, he salvaged curtains and carpets from a former apartment in Lyon, found a local artisan to frame a batch of early 19th century engravings, selected rich feeling fabrics, and splurged on interesting lighting. The results are anything but drab. With rooms that conjure a shaded feeling against the intrusive tropic sun, the effect is dense with polished woods, lush with fabrics. One is enveloped in shadows and dreams. Photography by Sara Essex Bradley
