Example of a large trendy galley light wood floor and brown floor open concept kitchen design in DC Metro with an undermount sink, flat-panel cabinets, blue cabinets, solid surface countertops, stainless steel appliances and an island

Inspiration for a large transitional u-shaped ceramic tile and multicolored floor eat-in kitchen remodel in DC Metro with a drop-in sink, recessed-panel cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, an island, gray cabinets, white backsplash and stone slab backsplash

This classic Portland bungalow in the highly desirable Irvington neighborhood has been in the family for generations and lovingly cared for and updated throughout the years. It was now the main floor’s primary bathroom that needed to be addressed. A tight footprint made for some space planning challenges, but what we love so much about this project is that it demonstrates that so much can be done with a small space! Designing a shallower than typical vanity allowed us to extend the cabinetry and countertop as far as the door swing into the room would allow, adding much needed storage to the room. A narrow undermount sink combined with wall mount faucet ensures the vanity remains extremely functional. A tower cabinet at the end frames the sink and mirror, bringing an appreciated moment of symmetry while providing space for electric bathroom products and so much more. Where a two sided tub/shower once lived, now a walk in shower framed in glass makes the space feel, and live, significantly larger than its modest square footage. The use of glass on only the long side, and pony wall with glass above on the short end, visually expands the space allowing the eye to move freely around the room while still providing privacy at the toilet. Marmoleum flooring makes for easy cleaning while mosaic tile on the shower floor ensures traction in the wet environment. A classic penny tile accent around the shower walls, combined with the tile wainscot around the room speak to the classic architecture of the home. The bright and fresh palette is at once lively and calming, youthful and sophisticated, current and timeless!

Inspiration for a mid-century modern kitchen remodel in Los Angeles

This beautiful screened in porch has custom cedar screens which are easy to remove for cleaning or repair. We created a new laundry room in unused space in the garage, making the new room bright and cheerful with colors chosen by the children of the family, wall paint and Forbo Marmoleum flooring. Moving the laundry room gave us space to create a new hallway/mudroom giving easy access to the screened porch, and from outside. A custom mudroom cubby and shelf arrangement was made special with a handsome walnut bench from a salvaged tree.

Hammer & Hand, along with architect Mary Hogue from MKM Architecture and designer Charlotte Cooney of Domestic Arts, transformed a boxy, closed off space into an open and flowing floor plan. H&H caged out the openings from the entryway into the living room, from the living room to the dining room, and from the dining room into the kitchen to turn four compartmentalized spaces into one flowing area. The team also did a complete remodel of the kitchen, creating an open space perfect for cooking and socializing. Nooks with floating shelves help organize the kitchen while keeping bar items and spices visible and accessible. A solid copper range hood from Vent-A-Hood and striped Marmoleum floor add interest to the otherwise neutral space. H&H also did a full home performance upgrade for the home, including full insulation, all new high performance windows, and HVAC upgrades. Photography by Jeff Amram.
