Spare Bedroom Bath with a modern updated feel. We carried the 4.5" mosaic band clear across the back of the backsplash with a schlutered edging to finish off the exposed reveals. Set in a evenly spaced niche that allows for the soap and shampoo compartments. Using Porcelenosa's 3D wave tile in a 8 x 20 ormat created a clean, updated modern bath.

This open concept kitchen complete with all new custom cabinetry, new appliances, backsplash, and fixtures, is ready for cooking and entertaining. Pull out pantry cabinets for extra storage and a large center island make this space functional and an ease to cook in. The master ensuite also had a full remodel to include custom cabinetry, a new walk-in shower, tile work, and plumbing fixtures. This new ensuite ties in to the clients beachy theme which carries throughout the home.

The front entrance is a show-stopper with the natural Italian limestone veneer features, which adds a beautiful opulence to the home and creates a stunning first impression. The stone is featured throughout the home, also on the interior den wall, in the master bedroom, and spanning the entire living room wall. The lighting fixtures from the chandeliers to the pendants and sconces are a circular oil rubbed bronze metal design in the same lighting family, this look carried through all areas for continuity of finishes. The color palette and selection of warm finishes creates a calm feeling throughout the entire home. This entryway offers built-in seating with storage on one side, and coat closet on the other side. Large tiles are diagonally set in the entryway floor.

Designed with an open floor plan and layered outdoor spaces, the Onaway is a perfect cottage for narrow lakefront lots. The exterior features elements from both the Shingle and Craftsman architectural movements, creating a warm cottage feel. An open main level skillfully disguises this narrow home by using furniture arrangements and low built-ins to define each spaces’ perimeter. Every room has a view to each other as well as a view of the lake. The cottage feel of this home’s exterior is carried inside with a neutral, crisp white, and blue nautical themed palette. The kitchen features natural wood cabinetry and a long island capped by a pub height table with chairs. Above the garage, and separate from the main house, is a series of spaces for plenty of guests to spend the night. The symmetrical bunk room features custom staircases to the top bunks with drawers built in. The best views of the lakefront are found on the master bedrooms private deck, to the rear of the main house. The open floor plan continues downstairs with two large gathering spaces opening up to an outdoor covered patio complete with custom grill pit.

Carrera marble in all its glory is the big show stopper in this Bolton Hill rowhome master bath renovation. What started as a cramped, chopped up room was opened into a sparkling, luxurious space evocative of timeless Old World mansion baths. The result demonstrates what’s possible when mixing multiple marble tile shapes, colors and patterns. To visually frame the bathroom, we installed 6” x 12” honed Carrera marble tiles laid in a herringbone pattern for wainscotting, and carried the same marble pattern into the shower stall in order to create depth and dimension. The wainscotting is set off by beautifully-detailed Carrera marble chair rail and black tile pencil moulding. Carrera hex shower tiles, marble sills and bench, and intricate Carrera and black mosaic flooring complete the marble details. The crisp white double vanity and inconspicuous builtins tastefully compliment the marble, and the brass cabinet hardware, mirrors and plumbing and lighting fixtures add a burst of color to the room.

The design concept consisted of providing a highly functional kitchen for these culinary masters. In addition to its functionality, we provided them with the very unique and sophisticated Arclinea cabinetry with integrated Italia handles. The island base carries on the tall wall texture while topped with a very sleek Arclinea stainless steel top with welded in sink and integrated wood slats for the breakfast bar. A perfect kitchen to cook while still entertaining and enjoying the fantastic views surrounding the house.

A stunning multi-room Chicago condo remodel. Our clients wanted a sleek contemporary look to complement the custom fireplace we designed which was achieved with modern shades of gray and matching marble-look countertops and backsplash. Incorporating display shelves in the stunning island not only allows the clients to display their favorite treasures, but allows for a great place for entertaining. -- In the master bath, a free-standing soaker tub was added for spa-like relaxation, while the shower is enveloped in marble for the most luxurious finishing touch. We carried on the marble in the guest bath but complimented it with a polished herringbone tile to draw the eye into the room. The powder room got a simple update but allows the beautiful bamboo screen the clients previously owned to be the focal point. -- For more about Chi Renovation & Design, click here: https://www.chirenovation.com/ To learn more about this project, click here: https://www.chirenovation.com/portfolio/multi-room-chicago-condo-remodel

This primary bathroom renovation-addition incorporates a beautiful Fireclay tile color on the floor, carried through to the wall backsplash. We created a wet room that houses a freestanding tub and shower as the client wanted both in a relatively limited space. The recessed medicine cabinets act as both mirror and additional storage. The horizontal grain rift cut oak vanity adds warmth to the space. A large skylight sits over the shower - tub to bring in a tons of natural light.

This historic home was built in the early 1900's. The original lighting fixtures were Art Nouveau in style. The house has several arches carried throughout, including over the tub shower, front entry door & entry. The bathroom has built in cabinetry just inside the door from the living area & a door from master bedroom. All woodwork was prepped & freshly painted. Original tub had been reglazed once & had failed, so tub had to be replaced. Shower liner was removed & walls & shower ceiling were tiled. The tile was continued as a wainscoting around the bathroom. New vanity was installed to replace the one from the 1960's. Anaglypta wallcovering was used on ceiling. Luxury vinyl plank was used for flooring. The beautiful arch over the tub was covered with glass mosaic tile.

This home was styled in a beach/coastal theme which is carried through the entire home. The home was taken completely down to the studs and built back up with an addition which enlarged the kitchen, master bedroom and bathroom. Tray ceilings were installed in all of the main rooms, each one unique to the space. The coastal theme is present in this open concept living room and kitchen space not only in decoration but also in the awning style windows. The fire place was added to the layout, and framed in salvaged wood and tile that sparkles like sand.

The owner of this urban residence, which exhibits many natural materials, i.e., exposed brick and stucco interior walls, originally signed a contract to update two of his bathrooms. But, after the design and material phase began in earnest, he opted to removed the second bathroom from the project and focus entirely on the Master Bath. And, what a marvelous outcome! With the new design, two full­height walls were removed (one completely and the second lowered to knee­wall height) allowing the eye to sweep the entire space as one enters. The views, no longer hindered by walls, have been completely enhanced by the materials chosen. The limestone counter and tub deck are mated with the Rift­cut Oak, Espresso stained, custom cabinets and panels. Cabinetry, within the extended design, that appears to float in space, is highlighted by the under­cabinet LED lighting, creating glowing warmth that spills across the butter­colored floor. Stacked stone wall and splash tiles are balanced perfectly with the honed travertine floor tiles; floor tiles installed with a linear stagger, again, pulling the viewer into the restful space. The lighting, introduced, appropriately, in several layers, includes ambient, task (sconces installed through the mirroring), and “sparkle” (under­cabinet LED and mirror­frame LED). The final detail that marries this beautifully remodeled bathroom was the removal of the entry slab hinged door and in the installation of the new custom five glass panel pocket door. It appears not one detail was overlooked in this marvelous renovation. Follow the link below to learn more about the designer of this project James L.

Sweet little country cottage, this home was built in the 1930's in Dallas, Texas. The master bathroom shown in the before photo was extremely small, unappealing, and did not utilize the best space. With the K. Rue new design, a larger shower was created and a major update to the cabinetry was involved. Notice the shower controls are placed on the end opposite of the showerhead to allow enough space for the water to heat up without soaking the user. Trying to eliminate constant distractions and interruptions, white and gray were the key colors in the bathroom to make a fluid statement. The small Carrara marble mosaic used on the floor was carried into the shower floor for a consistent rhythm. For an emphasized country cottage look, these 4x10 gray subway ceramic tiles add a slight rough and handmade look to the walls with an intentionally thick grout line. The cabinetry was purchased as one unit to appear as a furniture piece with built-in lavatories and faucets. Gray walls add a great accent to the almost all-white bathroom for depth and drama. Our client living in Dallas TX was referred to the K. Rue team through another client. We LOVE referrals and would be glad to help your friends or family with their design needs.
