The three-level Mediterranean revival home started as a 1930s summer cottage that expanded downward and upward over time. We used a clean, crisp white wall plaster with bronze hardware throughout the interiors to give the house continuity. A neutral color palette and minimalist furnishings create a sense of calm restraint. Subtle and nuanced textures and variations in tints add visual interest. The stair risers from the living room to the primary suite are hand-painted terra cotta tile in gray and off-white. We used the same tile resource in the kitchen for the island's toe kick.

A historic, rambling country estate gets a new kitchen, butler's pantry, bar, built-in desk and built-in TV cabinet. Elegant finishes and a few rustic touches help to fit this project into the original 1710 setting. Cabinetry is a beaded inset door in a mix of a hand glazed white stained finish and a furniture-type of burnished finish that is distressed but still has a sheen to it. The main countertops are honed Taj Mahal quartzite. The desk top matches the island cabinetry and the bar top is copper which has a lovely patina to it. The kitchen features a flush inset Sub Zero installation and a flush inset Wolf wall oven installation. The hood is a custom stainless piece with brass strapping. The glass door cabinets feature light roping that tucks in behind the face frames. The whole project is exquisitely decorated and accessorized. Designed by Jim & Erin Cummings of Shore & Country Kitchens.

This spacious kitchen in Westchester County is flooded with light from huge windows on 3 sides of the kitchen plus two skylights in the vaulted ceiling. The dated kitchen was gutted and reconfigured to accommodate this large kitchen with crisp white cabinets and walls. Ship lap paneling on both walls and ceiling lends a casual-modern charm while stainless steel toe kicks, walnut accents and Pietra Cardosa limestone bring both cool and warm tones to this clean aesthetic.

Straight, clean lines were the ideas behind this renovated space. By using a simple glass tile inlay in the center of the main tub wall, we were able to achieve a beautiful space to bathe.

Inspiration for a transitional bathroom remodel in New York

Provence Sur Mer is a home unlike any other, that combines the beauty and old-world charm of French Provencal style with the unparalleled amenities of a state-of-the-art home. The 9,100 sq. ft. home set on a 29,000 sq. ft. lot is set up like a resort in a secure, gated community. It includes an indoor spa, swimming pools, theater, wine cellar, separate guest house, and much more. The Provincial French kitchen design is a centerpiece of the home and was featured in French Style and Romantic Homes magazines. It incorporates Kountry Kraft custom kitchen cabinets including a glass fronted pantry, open shelves, and a tea station, all accented by Carrara marble countertops and a custom vent hood. Open beams and reclaimed limestone floors add to the authenticity of this French Provincial design. Top of the line appliances including Sub-Zero refrigerators and Miele dishwashers add to the appeal of the kitchen design, along with the Rohl Shaw Farmhouse sinks and Perrin and Rowe faucets. An archway connects the kitchen and dining areas, and ample windows and glass doors bring natural light into the space.
