Bolzan Letti was founded in the 90s by the family Bolzan and, despite maintaining its craft character and dimension, by the year 2000 the company had already developed into an industrial enterprise, integrating the craftsmanship know-how with a modern mechanization. The key word of Bolzan’s identity is “Made in Italy”. What sets Bolzan Letti apart in terms of production is the capability of combining tradition and technology. Our products are craft-finished up to the apparently insignificant details, using the technological solutions offered by industry, in order to guarantee the highest quality, strictly and genuinely made in Italy: that means good-looking, comfortable and long-lasting furniture.

A serene and sophisticated West LA Bathroom Remodel designed with a moody contemporary aesthetic. Large-format veined porcelain tile creates a seamless, dramatic backdrop for the walk-in shower and drop-in tub. A dove-grey heated drop-in tub anchors the space with understated luxury, while chrome fixtures and Starphire ultra-clear glass panels maintain a clean, open feel. Every element was chosen for both beauty and long-term function.

This before-and-after transformation showcases the complete modernization of the primary bathroom with updated finishes, luxury vinyl plank flooring, recessed can lighting, and a refreshed layout. The remodel replaced dated materials with durable, low-maintenance products while creating a brighter, more functional space that complements the home's overall renovation. Designed for both everyday comfort and long-term value, this bathroom combines timeless style with practical performance.

This is where the material choice for the wet room is most legible. Porcelain tile in a deep emerald green is installed in a vertical stacked pattern across both walls, floor to ceiling. The glaze on each piece carries its own variation in tone and reflectivity, which means the wall reads differently depending on the time of day and where the light is coming from. Porcelain was the right material choice for a wet room application specifically because of its density and very low porosity, making it more resistant to moisture absorption than ceramic over the long term. The white painted niches built into both walls provide functional storage while creating a sharp contrast that lets the tile color do its work without interruption. The white freestanding tub and white ceiling carry that same contrast through the rest of the wet room.

We gave this rather dated farmhouse some dramatic upgrades that brought together the feminine with the masculine, combining rustic wood with softer elements. In terms of style her tastes leaned toward traditional and elegant and his toward the rustic and outdoorsy. The result was the perfect fit for this family of 4 plus 2 dogs and their very special farmhouse in Ipswich, MA. Character details create a visual statement, showcasing the melding of both rustic and traditional elements without too much formality. The new master suite is one of the most potent examples of the blending of styles. The bath, with white carrara honed marble countertops and backsplash, beaded wainscoting, matching pale green vanities with make-up table offset by the black center cabinet expand function of the space exquisitely while the salvaged rustic beams create an eye-catching contrast that picks up on the earthy tones of the wood. The luxurious walk-in shower drenched in white carrara floor and wall tile replaced the obsolete Jacuzzi tub. Wardrobe care and organization is a joy in the massive walk-in closet complete with custom gliding library ladder to access the additional storage above. The space serves double duty as a peaceful laundry room complete with roll-out ironing center. The cozy reading nook now graces the bay-window-with-a-view and storage abounds with a surplus of built-ins including bookcases and in-home entertainment center. You can’t help but feel pampered the moment you step into this ensuite. The pantry, with its painted barn door, slate floor, custom shelving and black walnut countertop provide much needed storage designed to fit the family’s needs precisely, including a pull out bin for dog food. During this phase of the project, the powder room was relocated and treated to a reclaimed wood vanity with reclaimed white oak countertop along with custom vessel soapstone sink and wide board paneling. Design elements effectively married rustic and traditional styles and the home now has the character to match the country setting and the improved layout and storage the family so desperately needed.

  Free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW   This Chicago client was tired of living with her outdated and not-so-functional kitchen and came in for an update. The goals were to update the look of the space, enclose the washer/dryer, upgrade the appliances and the cabinets. The space is located in turn-of-the-century brownstone, so we tried to stay in keeping with that era but provide an updated and functional space. One of the primary challenges of this project was a chimney that jutted into the space. The old configuration meandered around the chimney creating some strange configurations and odd depths for the countertop. We finally decided that just flushing out the wall along the chimney instead would create a cleaner look and in the end a better functioning space. It also created the opportunity to access those new pockets of space behind the wall with appliance garages to create a unique and functional feature. The new galley kitchen has the sink on one side and the range opposite with the refrigerator on the end of the run. This very functional layout also provides large runs of counter space and plenty of storage. The washer/dryer were relocated to the opposite side of the kitchen per the client's request, and hide behind a large custom bi-fold door when not in use. A wine fridge and microwave are tucked under the counter so that the primary visual is the custom mullioned doors with antique glass and custom marble backsplash design. White cabinetry, Carrera countertops and an apron sink complete the vintage feel of the space, and polished nickel hardware and light fixtures add a little bit of bling.

Transitional Primary Suite Remodel of master bedroom, bathroom, and closet. Concept was to create a layout that is more functional to live in long term, create more storage and a walk-in style shower. This was achieved by using the existing bathroom with garden tub and converting to a walk in closet, from the hall closet a vanity ensuite was designed and the original bedroom closet a wet room was crafted. In the bedroom we vaulted the ceiling, added a faux beam, extra lighting with crown lighting, a focal wallpaper wall and sconces. Heating flooring is throughout the tiled floors, with a heated towel rack in the wet room, along with a digital shower system and luxury teak seat, along with zero threshold tile-in trough drain, enclosed with a barn door to coordinate with the style of the shower door. The vanity ensuite is adorned with a custom cabinet, quartz top, wade pool sink, kohler faucet, articulating sconce lighting, LED medicine cabinet, wallpaper and shiplap, with dimmable ceiling lights. This space opens to their walk in closet with a hamper location, heirloom armoire, island with drawers, and open shelving for ample room to hang or store folded clothes. A mixture of black and brushed nickel finishes were used throughout as well as additional design touches from the light fixtures to the wall and floor patterns, creating a cohesive space to compliment both of these clients' needs and vision.

I love the balance and common sense of old homes. I like antique details and modern amenities; quiet corners, open floorplans; family gatherings, and "me" space. Energy efficiency, lots of daylight and views, solar energy whenever we can. I like the term “adaptive reuse.” We demoed the 1960s addition, salvaged all the lumber, built on its footprint, and went up one story to create the master suite. The first floor is all letting the kitchen and eating areas flow right outside. We captured the best views, brought in tons of daylight, and made the farmhouse easily accessible, with circulation around both sides of the central stairway. A mudroom and laundry were placed logically where the family went to and from the garage and yard, and a more “formal” entrance for guests (and clean feet) made accessible to the driveway via a stone patio and perennial garden. The house became the study, family room, and bedrooms. A window at the top of the central stairway became the doorway to the master suite. Thick, super-insulated walls and ultra-high efficiency electric heat pumps made this very affordable to heat and cool, and with a future Solar Electric system across the yard and behind the garage, it will be a Net-Zero energy home.
