D&G ConstructionThis kitchen remodel was designed to make a statement—balancing bold character with refined craftsmanship to create a space that’s both highly functional and visually unforgettable.
At the heart of the design is a striking contrast palette. Crisp white perimeter cabinetry keeps the space bright and open, while rich black lower cabinets and a substantial island ground the room with depth and sophistication. The oversized island serves as both a functional workspace and a central gathering point, topped with a dramatic stone surface that adds movement and texture.
The flooring plays a defining role in the overall aesthetic. A custom black-and-white patterned tile layout introduces energy and personality, transforming the kitchen into a true design centerpiece while maintaining a timeless appeal. This bold foundation is thoughtfully balanced by clean lines, classic shaker cabinetry, and elegant hardware selections.
Functionality was a key driver throughout the project. The layout maximizes workflow efficiency with dedicated zones for cooking, prep, and cleanup. A professional-grade range anchors the island, while the farmhouse sink positioned beneath large windows brings in natural light and enhances the everyday experience. Custom storage solutions—including extended cabinetry, integrated dish storage, and built-in appliance areas—ensure everything has its place without compromising the clean aesthetic.
Lighting was carefully layered to elevate both form and function. Statement pendant fixtures above the island add architectural interest, while recessed lighting provides consistent illumination throughout the space.
The result is a kitchen that feels both elevated and livable—where bold design choices meet practical everyday use. It’s a space designed not just to cook in, but to gather, entertain, and truly enjoy.

Distinctive CabinetryAlamo Kitchen, Bath & Library Remodel
This Alamo kitchen remodel and full home cabinetry project was designed to blend modern art influences with clean transitional cabinetry throughout the kitchen, bathrooms, library, and laundry. The goal was to create a cohesive, functional space while allowing the homeowner’s artwork to drive key design decisions.
The kitchen features a balanced mix of light cabinetry and a darker island, creating contrast while maintaining a warm, inviting feel. As part of this Alamo kitchen remodel, thoughtful storage solutions and clean lines keep the space highly functional while showcasing the benefits of custom cabinetry.
In the bathrooms, floating vanities were used to create a more open, modern look. The green vanity is a standout feature, with the color carefully pulled from a featured art piece in the home. While the original concept called for an orange cabinet, refining the tone from the artwork allowed for a more sophisticated and integrated design, something we often focus on in our Alamo custom cabinetry projects.
The custom library cabinetry was designed to feel architectural while still practical for everyday use, combining open shelving with lower storage to support both display and organization.
All cabinetry throughout the home was crafted using Shiloh and Shiloh Eclipse lines, delivering a consistent level of quality and finish across every space. This project is a great example of how Alamo custom cabinetry can bring together design, function, and personal style across an entire home.

WORLD CUSTOM TABLEEvery custom piece we create begins with a conversation, and this table is a perfect example of how thoughtful design can balance beauty and everyday practicality.
Our client was immediately drawn to the natural character of a live edge black walnut table. The organic lines, rich grain, and unique silhouette bring a sense of warmth and artistry that simply cannot be replicated. However, with young children at home, safety quickly became an important consideration. The client shared their concern that the original live edge, while beautiful, might be too sharp for a family setting.
After carefully discussing their needs, our team proposed a refined solution. We preserved the essence of the live edge, maintaining its natural flow and character, while softening the overall form. The corners were gently rounded, and the edges were skillfully smoothed and reshaped to eliminate sharpness without losing the authentic, organic look.
From material selection to final finishing, every step was handled with precision. We selected premium black walnut slabs with deep, consistent grain and carefully paired them to create a harmonious surface. The resin was poured seamlessly to enhance the wood’s natural beauty, resulting in a clean, elegant river that complements rather than overpowers the walnut.
The final result is a 98” x 40” dining table that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. It retains the charm of a live edge design while offering a safer, more comfortable experience for everyday family use. This project reflects our commitment to not only craftsmanship and quality, but also to truly understanding how our clients live and use their furniture.
A table should do more than look beautiful, it should fit seamlessly into life.

Maison BirminghamThis historic Wallace Frost home in Birmingham’s Holy Name neighborhood was built in 1929. Although most of the home had been well-preserved in its original, beautiful condition, an addition completed in the early 2000’s resulted in a dark, foreign kitchen that desperately needed to be re-imagined to relate to the rest of the home.
Drawing from a palette of classic materials and tones, the kitchen was reworked to enhance functionality and allow more light in, while weaving in design elements to match the character and integrity of Frost’s original design. A soft, off-white color was chosen for the cabinetry to avoid going too stark, and two 3 sided glass cabinet towers frame the farmhouse sink and window while allowing ample daylight to pass through. A stunning plaster hood was custom made to introduce a traditional, warm, familiar texture while its form still maintains the clean-lined aesthetic the homeowners desired. Open shelves flanking the plaster hood, and a petite, furniture-like island help create an airy, open feel in this otherwise small space.
Gorgeous black soapstone, and patinaed metal tones of burnished brass and oil rubbed bronze bring a historic, aged feel to this new space. The subtly textured subway backsplash with contrasting grout harkens back to the original 1900s trend, and enhances the hand-crafted feeling within the space. Sconces on the window wall provide warm ambient and task lighting, while the absence of pendants over the island keeps the space open, and historically more consistent with the rest of the home.

Patrick A. Finn, LtdLooking from the living room directly through to the kitchen, this perspective beautifully showcases the dramatic transformation of the home’s layout. By significantly enlarging the opening between these two spaces, we removed the original claustrophobic, closed-off feeling and replaced it with a bright, semi-open concept flow.
Key Design Highlights of This View:
Enlarged Architectural Opening: Widening this passageway allows natural light to flood deep into the interior, immediately connecting the cozy living room seating area with the heart of the kitchen and beyond.
Seamless Sightlines: This expanded view draws the eye all the way through to the other end of the house. The kitchen’s sleek black cabinetry, modern pendant lighting, and central island make the entire home feel twice as spacious.
Consistent Design Language: The light hardwood flooring runs uninterrupted from the living room straight into the kitchen, visually unifying the two areas while maintaining distinct, functional zones.
Perfect for Entertaining: This semi-open layout strikes the perfect balance—offering enough separation to keep kitchen prep work slightly tucked away while keeping the cook fully connected to family and guests in the living room.

Made To Last Custom Homes Ltd.Our client fell in love with the original 80s style of this house. However, no part of it had been updated since it was built in 1981. Both the style and structure of the home needed to be drastically updated to turn this house into our client’s dream modern home. We are also excited to announce that this renovation has transformed this 80s house into a multiple award-winning home, including a major award for Renovator of the Year from the Vancouver Island Building Excellence Awards. The original layout for this home was certainly unique. In addition, there was wall-to-wall carpeting (even in the bathroom!) and a poorly maintained exterior.
There were several goals for the Modern Revival home. A new covered parking area, a more appropriate front entry, and a revised layout were all necessary. Therefore, it needed to have square footage added on as well as a complete interior renovation. One of the client’s key goals was to revive the modern 80s style that she grew up loving. Alfresco Living Design and A. Willie Design worked with Made to Last to help the client find creative solutions to their goals.
