This client asked me to provide them with ample storage in their ski vacation condo's kitchen. I wanted to take advantage of the end wall to maximize the countertop and give them more storage with a cabinet under the new range that is 92" wide. Even though the cabinet is well supported, the cabinet opening has no center divider which would hinder any individual seeking out pots and kettles from below. The other elements fell into logical places including a generous pantry to the right of the refrigerator. In trying to maintain the sleek look of the backsplash, I worked diligently with the electrician to avoid outlets in the backsplash area as much as possible using Task Lighting's angled power strips. I love working with the outlet strips that tuck up under the cabinetry; they are brilliantly discreet. One of the special elements in this kitchen is the log pedestal base under the cantilevered bar top that is a continuation of the cap on the half wall. This log is from my neighbor's tree which they were cutting down in perfect timing with this renovation. Other components from this same tree are incorporated elsewhere in the condo. Surrounding the bar top are great wrought iron bar stools from Charleston Forge Photo by Sandra J. Curtis, ASID

Crossed Wood Shelving Wine Rack Design Based on a previous design concept, Dragon Cellars applied this look to an understairs space for a client in Boca Raton. The objective was to develop a racking system that would provide a transitional look in line with the home décor and provide a versatility of ways to display and store wine. The even square spaces created utilized 2 tones of wood for contrast and it allowed bottles to be placed dynamically either standing, tilted, on their side or neck out format. Each configuration can be adapted to the needs of the client. If capacity were a main factor, we would place more glass and acrylic shelves halfway in each square allowing bottles to be stacked. Although the space was angled, the logic of the wine racks provided a symmetrical look and it was complemented with a lighted tasting counter, drawer and glass holder. To further maximize storage, the smaller right-side room has racks for crates and more bottles in diamond bins. The cooling equipment was nicely hidden away with a slat technical ceiling, and the entire space was lit up with warm white LEDs resulting in an awesome and special glow. Hopefully next application of this design will be a square wall. Hope you like it!!

Talk about a huge change in appearance! The larger shower nearly doubled the enclosure size. The new space now has a clean, modern look, and we loved being a part of the transformation! Sometimes a bathroom only provides a certain amount of space with no logical way of making the room larger. While you can typically make a space larger, this kind of project can be cost prohibitive. Our clients faced that challenge with their master bathroom. While coming up with a game plan, they decided that installing a larger shower would definitely help the cause. Our client chose an awesome black and white penny tile for the floor that paired perfectly with the other fixture selections and subway tile. Matte black finishes provide a clean, sleek look to any bathroom. We completed the new master bathroom with a vanity, shower door and other fixtures. Always feel free to think outside of the box when imagining your next project. Give A+ Home Improvements a call to get your project started today!! We look forward to working with you.
