The two-toned gray Schrock Pleasant Hill maple cabinetry in this Levit Home Rambler kitchen design in Bowie gives the space a strong, sophisticated vibe. Finished in Maritime and Juniper Berry, the cabinetry is perfectly complemented by Allen + Roth mosaic volcanic glass tile backsplash and a Corian Anthracite countertop. The white Corian sink contrasts nicely with dark gray countertop and includes a Hansgrohe pull out sprayer faucet. COREtec Titanium Jackson Hill plank flooring in Running River adds warmth to the gray kitchen. The kitchen also included a new pantry cabinet, Lutron switch plates, a toe kick heater, and a built-in wine rack. The Solstice team also painted and finished the den along with the kitchen remodel, to create a finished, welcoming kitchen, dining, and living space in this home.

The new kitchen layout maximizes countertop and storage space as well as enhances overall functionality, To add visual interest to the large space we used two toned cabinets – classic white along the perimeter and a deep blue to distinguish the two islands and tall pantry. Brushed brass accents echo the original brass hardware and fixtures throughout the home. A kitchen this large needed a statement when it came to the countertops so we selected a stunning Nuvolato quartzite with distinctive veining that complements the blue cabinets. We restored and refinished the original Heart of Pine floors, letting the natural character of the wood shine through. A custom antique Heart of Pine wood top was commissioned for the fixed island – the warmth of wood was preferable to stone for the informal seating area. The second island serves as both prep area and staging space for dinners and events. This mobile island can be pushed flush with the stationary island to provide a generous area for the caterers to expedite service.

The Steamer Deck Lamp is made of solid brass and cast aluminum. The industrial glass dome is surrounded by a cast aluminum grate. Complete with steel hanging wire and brass ceiling bracket, the hanging height can be adjusted. This Steamer Deck Lamp is a replica of an early 20th century era ships vapor proof deck lamp.It is sure to last for centuries and to become a beloved family heirloom. Size: Lamp only 12.25" height x 13.5" width Material: Solid brass & cast aluminum Includes: Steel hanging wire with brass ceiling bracket Ceiling height: Adjustable during installation (wiring instructions are include)

Inspiration for a contemporary basement remodel in New Orleans

Our client, a hard working single lady, bought this condo knowing that things will need to change. The location was great with a beautiful view into the Nation's Capitol was a winner buy. The main layout of the condo was is but she knew that something will have to go! and that included the original kitchen from 1981 had to go! The closed layout and the laminate cabinets has no place in her vibrate life and passion for cooking. Looking at a few layout in the building, we deiced to take the layout to another direction, testing the limits of condo construction. At the end we managed to create an open and flowing space, connecting the living, dinning room and kitchen as one space. The gray, white with a touch of bling reflects the client's personality creating a space for her to experiment different cooking style, host a dinner party or just chill with a glass on wine.
