Love to cook? Well, then this is the kitchen for you! Every chef’s need would be met with the top of the line appliances, totally custom cabinetry storage (hello, baking rack!), and even a little hidden nook for favorite cookbooks - this kitchen literally has it all!

Early 1900's farmhouse, literal farm house redesigned for the business to use as their corporate meeting center. This remodel included taking the existing bathrooms bedrooms, kitchen, living room, family room, dining room, and wrap around porch and creating a functional space for corporate meeting and gatherings. The integrity of the home was kept put as each space looks as if it could have been designed this way since day one.

VanBrouck & Associates: Inspired by the classical architecture of Palladio, this Italian villa was designed with a procession of beautifully proportioned, ordered spaces, with strong axial sightlines, to draw the eye through the spaces and beckon the individual to explore. Beautifully sited on acreage, the interior and exterior spaces are thoughtfully orchestrated to interact together, and to connect to the land. Stone loggias, at the entry, rear, and side of the residence, visually and literally extend the interior living spaces. View-lines extend through the house from the open courtyard and infinite landscape vistas of the front to the wooded terrain of the rear. Gentle cross-breezes flow and natural light streams into the rooms from a series of French doors lyrically arranged throughout the spaces.

The inside of the Wombly filled Front Mahogany and Glass Door. Welcome! The movement in my doors is what makes each truly unique. Mahogany is the most stable wood of all. Most durable. I have also used other hardwoods (cherry, walnut, teak). With my favorite tool, the bandsaw, I am able to literally turn my sculptures inside out exposing the true middle of the tree, usually the most hidden and protected. Finding the soft, sensual nature inside a rough material is an exciting challenge. For me, warm wood sculptures and doors are a welcome relief from the frantic qualities of today’s world.

We continue to raise the bar (literally) with this model of our Bella. The beautiful chrome hang rod is surrounded by shelves of multiple heights for easy access to all types of clothing and wardrobe accessories. The interior drawers are perfect for those items that need to be a bit more organized.

This warm and welcoming home is refreshing to walk into on many levels. The way the great room opens up to the porch and out into the trees makes it feel like you are in the middle of nowhere even though you’re in a neighborhood. The inviting warm colors and traditional elements are a breath of fresh air. It’s also literally a refreshing home because indoor air quality was a big priority for the owners. Homebuyers today are increasingly concerned about the indoor air quality of their homes. Issues like mold, radon, carbon monoxide and toxic chemicals have received greater attention than ever as poor indoor air quality has been linked to a host of health problems.

KitchenLab Interiors’ first, entirely new construction project in collaboration with GTH architects who designed the residence. KLI was responsible for all interior finishes, fixtures, furnishings, and design including the stairs, casework, interior doors, moldings and millwork. KLI also worked with the client on selecting the roof, exterior stucco and paint colors, stone, windows, and doors. The homeowners had purchased the existing home on a lakefront lot of the Valley Lo community in Glenview, thinking that it would be a gut renovation, but when they discovered a host of issues including mold, they decided to tear it down and start from scratch. The minute you look out the living room windows, you feel as though you're on a lakeside vacation in Wisconsin or Michigan. We wanted to help the homeowners achieve this feeling throughout the house - merging the causal vibe of a vacation home with the elegance desired for a primary residence. This project is unique and personal in many ways - Rebekah and the homeowner, Lorie, had grown up together in a small suburb of Columbus, Ohio. Lorie had been Rebekah's babysitter and was like an older sister growing up. They were both heavily influenced by the style of the late 70's and early 80's boho/hippy meets disco and 80's glam, and both credit their moms for an early interest in anything related to art, design, and style. One of the biggest challenges of doing a new construction project is that it takes so much longer to plan and execute and by the time tile and lighting is installed, you might be bored by the selections of feel like you've seen them everywhere already. “I really tried to pull myself, our team and the client away from the echo-chamber of Pinterest and Instagram. We fell in love with counter stools 3 years ago that I couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on, thank god, because then they started showing up literally everywhere", Rebekah recalls. Lots of one of a kind vintage rugs and furnishings make the home feel less brand-spanking new. The best projects come from a team slightly outside their comfort zone. One of the funniest things Lorie says to Rebekah, "I gave you everything you wanted", which is pretty hilarious coming from a client to a designer.

Pocket cabinet doors are more streamlined than traditional hinged doors; they literally disappear when open. The interior storage space becomes accessible while working yet when closed they give the space a clean, sophisticated appearance. Kara Lashuay

Creating a custom kitchen for an extraordinarily tall family is, well, a tall order! By raising the entire kitchen countertop 4” inches, meant this family could finally have a space that fit their tall stature. We also raised the roof (literally!) to help make the entire space feel larger and more comfortable for the home owners. We chose simple, classic, finishes to ensure this space won’t be one that they have to update again anytime soon.

This fairly typical re-side project of a fairly typical suburban one story. The original press-board siding and trim was literally falling off the house. The previous owner had already installed some Hardie 4x8 vertical panels so we left those and replaced the rest with James Hardie lap siding and trim. We then painted the house 2 tone Gray and replaced the brown drip edge for a cleaner look. A year later we added a re-roof with CertainTeed Landmark Cobblestone gray
