Wolf 30" M Series Transitional Convection Steam Oven Black | CSO30TM
Available at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center | uakc.com
Easy-access water tank:
The oven’s large water tank provides 90 minutes of continuous steam cooking. Thoughtfully designed, it can be refilled when needed without opening the oven door and interrupting the cooking process.
Largest interior capacity:
More than 25 percent larger than similar units, large enough to roast a 15-pound turkey, Wolf’s steam oven lets you prepare larger items and even multiple dishes at once.
Design flexibility:
Install the unit flush with cabinetry to seamlessly integrate it into your kitchen design. And since the unit isn’t plumbed, it can be installed anywhere without requiring special water lines.
10 cooking modes:
Precisely control heat, steam and airflow for the best results with any dish with 10 cooking modes: Steam, Reheat, Auto Steam Bake, Convection, Convection Humid, Convection Steam, Gourmet, Slow Roast, Recipes, and Keep Warm.
Steam mode:
By heating with steam first, then using convection heat to finish, bagels, breads, buns, rolls and pastries acquire a tender interior and a natural shine without the need for brushing with an egg wash. Auto Steam Bake mode temperatures range from 210°F to 445°F.
Reheat mode:
Reheat mode uses steam and hot air to rehydrate food gently. Using convection and the right amount of moisture, Reheat mode warms one to four pans of food evenly and without drying with a temperature range from 210°F to 300°F.
Auto Steam Bake mode:
By heating with steam first, then using convection heat to finish, bagels, breads, buns, rolls and pastries acquire a tender interior and a natural shine without the need for brushing with an egg wash. Auto Steam Bake mode temperatures range from 210°F to 445°F.
Convection mode:
A fan circulates hot air from a heating element at the back of the oven to distribute heat evenly around food for consistent results and browning. Convection mode temperatures range from 85°F to 445°F.
Convection Humid mode:
In Convection Humid mode, a heating element at the back of the oven produces heat and oven ventilation is sealed so that moisture produced during cooking remains in the oven. Convection Humid temperatures range from 85°F to 445°F.
Convection Steam mode:
Use Convection Steam for any foods you want to be tender inside and roasted or crisped outside. Convection steam mode temperatures range from 85°F to 445°F.
Gourmet mode:
Gourmet mode uses a climate sensor to adjust time, temperature and humidity for ideal results with no guesswork.
Slow Roast mode:
Slow Roast mode is an ultimate convenience. Insert the probe into your prepared meat, select a slow roast setting for the dish you're preparing, tell the oven what time you want it done, and come home to a perfectly cooked meal.
Recipes mode:
Use Recipes mode and the collection of built-in recipes to harness the power of the oven's many different cooking modes to easily cook entire meals from appetizers and entrees to desserts.
Keep Warm mode:
The combination of convection and steam heat preserves food’s taste, texture, looks and quality so every bite is as delicious as if it were fresh from the oven. Keep multiple dinner plates warm at once, making staggered meal times more convenient.
Temperature probe:
The temperature probe alerts you when your dish has reached the desired temperature, eliminating guesswork when preparing roasts and other meats.
Multiple pans and rack positions:
Two included pans can be placed in any of four rack positions. Both pans are stainles steel – one solid, and the other with a perforated bottom that is particularly well-suited for dishes prepared in Steam mode.
Delayed start:
What time would you like your dish to be ready? Simply program in a time. The oven turns on at the right moment and adjusts the cooking process so the food is ready to serve precisely when you want it.

Robin Stancliff photo credits. My goal for this project was to create a modern, minimalist kitchen that isn’t cold or
industrial. The original kitchen was very dark and enclosed, so the first step to
enhancing this kitchen was to open it up and create a sense of light and space in the
room. By raising the soffit, removing the built-in cabinets, and changing the position of
the ovens, microwave, and refrigerator, I was able to create a better layout that
maximizes every inch of the kitchen as useful space. I removed the divider wall, tripling
the size of the opening from the dining room to the kitchen, and I added natural clear
Alder cabinets. My client envisioned a kitchen with two-toned cabinets, so I paired the
locally crafted Alder with grey upper cabinets and grey Shaker style cabinets on the
island to make it stand out more. I also added wood-look LVT for a stylish yet highly
durable kitchen floor. The countertops are Della Terra quartz with a matte finish for a
more natural feeling texture that cuts down on glare, and I paired the counters with a
grey porcelain subway tile backsplash for easy-cleaning. A unique feature of this kitchen
is that the outlets are barely visible, as I hid them underneath the cabinets. I added
under-cabinet lighting, and converted the kitchen lights to LED, aside from the Edison
lightbulbs in the hanging pendants. The biggest challenge for this project was devising a
way to heat and cool the kitchen while working with minimal structural elements.
However, by moving the HVAC above the refrigerator the kitchen now has more cooling
than it did previously, while having a more modern aesthetic. With natural lighting and
abundant storage options, this kitchen is now bright, clean, and de-cluttered.

This Community Lounge Quartz Kitchen combines style, comfort, and durability in one inviting space. The warm, natural tones of the quartz countertops create an atmosphere where tenants can relax, gather, and enjoy the setting together. Quartz isn’t just about durability and easy maintenance—it plays a key role in shaping the environment, adding brightness, warmth, and balance to a common area designed for connection and it was an absolute pleasure working with Grant Creek Village Apartments and Aultco Construction in Missoula on making this happen.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL
"This bench cushion replaced a very flimsy one in my son's room. He just got a new loft bed so we decided to upgrade his window seat cushion too, where he loves to sit and read. We had fun picking out the color and contrasting welting to match other accessories in his room. The cushion is perfect and I know it will hold up and be easy to clean. Thanks, Patio Lane!"

Location, location, location! Isn’t that what all of our real-estate friends and colleagues are always telling us? Our clients made a wise choice when purchasing this beautifully located ocean front property nestled in the dunes of Palm Beach, but they were presented with a challenge: how to take this luxury townhouse from dark and dated to a chic easy breezy dream home that reflects is naturally gorgeous sun and sand dunes surroundings as well as our clients laid back personalities.
Built in 1981, this dream home’s post-modern style with dark wood architectural features, cold concrete structure, and harsh lighting felt out of step by todays standards. Our solution: open the staircase and switch out the wood paneled banister for clear glass, exposing its grand design and allowing for amazing and unobscured views of the property’s outdoor spaces as well as the home’s common areas, permitting its large loft space to shine.
Bedrooms were treated to neutral color-schemes inspired by the Palm Beach dunes that surround this oceanfront home. An impressive pallet of textures and materials were chosen, and juxtapositions of lux linens and natural textiles like grass wall coverings and a large arrangement of sculptural branches brings the outside, in. Big and bold custom metal sculptures were installed in the primary bedroom along with hand blown glass light fixtures, adding that touch of glam that we are known for.
The private courtyard revamp is above and beyond anything you will see in Palm Beach. Playful and luxurious, it features a koi pond, a two story art installation and a dramatic custom stone waterfall. Its seating area makes great use of this homes original design by softening the heavy overhang with ceiling coverings in Peaky Cyprus and covering the walls with grass, creating a very cool and cozy space to relax and unwind. The entire courtyard is expertly illuminated by artistic lighting that makes every corner a sparkling treat for the eyes.
We had fun with this ambitious project and we hope your takeaway is to let location be your guide when looking for your dream home, because anything is possible in design but great surroundings are rare treasures that must be found and cherished.

KITCHEN RENOVATION CURRENT CRAFTSMAN
This client started off just being curious about our services - what we could do, and if we could even help her update her kitchen. She and her husband with their two teenage kids have lived in their home for several years without updating anything since the house was originally built. They didn’t quite have a budget in mind yet. They didn’t know their style, or even if they had one. Their timeline was simple, “as fast as you can so we’re not without a kitchen for very long” (usually what we hear for kitchen updates).
After a very productive consultation: determining the scope of work and zeroing in on a budget, I was very excited to update this underwhelming space to something that is modern but timeless, something that is theirs. And, it was easy to see what type of design style they gravitated toward looking at the pieces they already own: Craftsman/Prairie Style. I left the meeting so excited to weave in yet another genre of design to my CDG portfolio! We circled in our contractor to discuss the changes they were looking to make and the scope of work that would be theirs. Then I was off to get designing:
// Because the kitchen’s footprint and the defined breakfast space delineated by the bay, we kept the perimeter cabinetry as it was originally laid out. We updated these cabinets to a beautiful soft Alabaster White with a Barn Wood Glaze to highlight the simplicity of the shaker style doors. We added transom cabinets above the uppers, with only the back wall having seeded glass inserts to highlight some of their collectables.
// The original shaped island was counter-productive (See what I did there?) in functionality and design. We squared this off to reduce some of the angles and gain more storage. We highlighted the new island with a contrasting oak cabinet in a dark finish, to pay our respects to the craftsman style, and topped with a concrete-like countertop as a nod to the Prairie Style, allowing the homeowners to gain two extra seats and a massive -uninterrupted- work surface.
// The small section of cabinetry between the garage entry and fridge now is the perfect dump-station for mail, electronics, whatever is in their hands when they come into the house; and completely hidden by the refrigerator.
// The disconnected cabinetry in the breakfast area makes for a great place to have a working office. Accessible from the kitchen or the adjacent great room, this is the perfect place for the kids to do their homework while mom and dad are putting together dinner. The base cabinets are built out for office-type storage: paper and pencil drawers, filing systems, and cord management. Additionally, the long counter provides a ton of worksurface to spread out.
// The largest transformation was the pantry. We raised the height of the doorway and added huge custom designed bypass sliding barndoors. Finished with a dark stain to compliment the island and cut to inset 4 stained glass windows, typical of this style of design, and driving home the concept for the whole space.
// They were desperate to replace their flooring with something extremely durable to flow throughout the kitchen and the whole main level. This beautiful new flooring is actually a textured LVT(!) Which allowed them to save on overall cost and extend the life of their new flooring purchase.
// They loved their copper table, so we kept it and added new simple, mid-century modern chairs around it and a shiny new craftsman-style chandelier above. We added bright barstools in a burnt orange-red accent, and a bright woven rug to tie it all together.
// Because the kitchen renovation was shaping up to be pretty spectacular, they decided they needed to now replace their ‘now-these-look-a-little-too-old’ upholstered seating in the neighboring great room with 2 new sofas. We found the perfect sage-y-grey fabric which we covered on sofa frames that have and exposed oak-wood base, which we finished in a warm weathered grey.
// As every designer knows, a room isn’t finished until there’s something on the windows. Now that the new flooring was installed and every other room on the main level ‘seemed’ to be updated, we needed to update the window treatments in the dining, and great rooms to reflect their new design concept.
I hope you find the ‘after’ photos refreshing (as refreshing as it was for me to work on something that’s not a “Farm House” style that’s saturating the industry right now!) This was such a fun project and a great collaboration with our contractor.

Combine ancient temples with overwater villas for the trip of a lifetime
There's a reason savvy travellers are increasingly looking beyond single-destination holidays. The Sri Lanka Maldives multi-centre trip has emerged as one of the most sought-after combinations in tropical travel—and it's easy to understand why. These two Indian Ocean neighbours couldn't be more different, yet together they create a holiday experience that satisfies every type of wanderlust.
Why Combine Sri Lanka and the Maldives?
Sri Lanka offers what the Maldives doesn't: lush highlands carpeted in tea plantations, ancient cities steeped in 2,500 years of history, wildlife safaris where leopards roam free, and a culinary scene that'll have you dreaming of hoppers and kottu for years to come. The Maldives, meanwhile, delivers what Sri Lanka can't: those iconic overwater bungalows, some of the planet's most pristine coral reefs, and the kind of barefoot luxury where your biggest decision is whether to have your massage on the beach or in your private villa.
A Sri Lanka and Maldives twin centre holiday lets you experience the thrill of exploration followed by pure, unadulterated relaxation. It's the best of both worlds—literally.
The Perfect Itinerary Balance
Most travellers find that spending 7-10 days in Sri Lanka followed by 4-7 days in the Maldives creates the ideal rhythm. Sri Lanka demands more time because there's simply so much ground to cover. You might start in Colombo, travel through the Cultural Triangle to explore Sigiriya's ancient rock fortress and Dambulla's cave temples, wind through the tea country around Ella, and perhaps end with a safari in Yala National Park before catching your flight to Malé.
Then comes the reward: touching down in the Maldives, boarding a speedboat or seaplane, and watching the stress of everyday life disappear as those famous turquoise lagoons come into view. After days of early morning temple visits and winding mountain roads, there's nothing quite like sinking into a lounger with nothing on the agenda but deciding which shade of blue you're looking at.
Logistics Made Simple
One of the best aspects of this combination is how geographically convenient it is. Colombo and Malé are just over an hour apart by air, with multiple daily flights connecting the two capitals. This proximity means minimal travel fatigue and maximum time enjoying your destinations.Find More here https://holiday.com.mv/sri-lanka-and-maldives-twin-centre-holidays/
For those considering expanding their Indian Ocean adventure even further, Maldives multi-centre holidays open up possibilities beyond Sri Lanka. Dubai, Singapore, and various Indian cities all serve as excellent add-on destinations, turning an already incredible trip into a true odyssey.
Planning Considerations for 2026
Timing matters with this combination. The Maldives enjoys fairly consistent weather year-round, but Sri Lanka has two distinct monsoon seasons affecting different coasts at different times. Generally speaking, December through April works beautifully for both destinations, making it the peak season for this twin-centre route.
Budget-wise, expect Sri Lanka to be significantly more affordable than the Maldives. Many travellers use this to their advantage, opting for boutique hotels and authentic local experiences in Sri Lanka, then splurging on a premium resort for their Maldives finale. It's a strategy that delivers exceptional value without sacrificing that once-in-a-lifetime overwater villa experience.
The Verdict
A Sri Lanka Maldives multi-centre holiday isn't just about ticking two countries off a list. It's about crafting a journey with genuine contrast and emotional arc—adventure followed by serenity, cultural immersion followed by indulgent escape. For couples, honeymooners, families, and solo travellers alike, this combination consistently ranks among the most satisfying itineraries the Indian Ocean has to offer.
If you've been dreaming of ancient ruins at sunrise and sunset cocktails on a private deck over crystalline waters, this might just be your year to make it happen.

At the center of this home, the kitchen isn’t just a place to cook—it’s where the family comes together. Designed with an open-concept layout, it flows effortlessly into the surrounding spaces, making it as inviting as it is functional. Since the homeowners are passionate about cooking, we prioritized thoughtful details, like a waterfall edge at the end of the island closest to the range to make meal prep an easy clean up. The oversized island acts as both a workspace and a gathering spot, providing ample room for everything. To enhance its overall impact, we selected an Orca stone for its continuous pattern and installed it with a book-matched pattern, ensuring a flawless, uninterrupted look across this showstopping centerpiece.
