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 DOWNLOAD NOW   This Chicago client was tired of living with her outdated and not-so-functional kitchen and came in for an update.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.

This stunning home is a combination of the best of traditional styling with clean and modern design, creating a look that will be as fresh tomorrow as it is today. Traditional white painted cabinetry in the kitchen, combined with the slab backsplash, a simpler door style and crown moldings with straight lines add a sleek, non-fussy style. An architectural hood with polished brass accents and stainless steel appliances dress up this painted kitchen for upscale, contemporary appeal. The kitchen islands offers a notable color contrast with their rich, dark, gray finish. The stunning bar area is the entertaining hub of the home. The second bar allows the homeowners an area for their guests to hang out and keeps them out of the main work zone. The family room used to be shut off from the kitchen. Opening up the wall between the two rooms allows for the function of modern living. The room was full of built ins that were removed to give the clean esthetic the homeowners wanted. It was a joy to redesign the fireplace to give it the contemporary feel they longed for. Their used to be a large angled wall in the kitchen (the wall the double oven and refrigerator are on) by straightening that out, the homeowners gained better function in the kitchen as well as allowing for the first floor laundry to now double as a much needed mudroom room as well.

I fauxed this house to compliment the brick pavers. I also painted the chairs a light blue to create contrast and draw the eye into the courtyard.

The ultra simple, minimalist silhouette of this 4-piece set connects with the modern desire for an eco-friendly style of bathroom, delivering a solution to the practicalities of versatile bathroom storage, cleanliness, and well-lit mirrors translated in style. Elegant matte white washbasin Above in chic contrast, the pristine white mineral/marble composite delivers a smooth, matt finish which is velvety to touch. The basin is essentially rectangular, softened by curved corners. Our mineral/marble composite is composed 75% by natural mineral fillers and 25% polyester resin. The technical enamel film that covers the surface is polyester acrylate, which obtains excellent resistance properties. Its aesthetic, mechanical and chemical features make this material perfect for bathrooms and public spaces. Forest tones The hard-wearing composite veneer base features the high contrast grain of Tobacco Sherwood for a natural, rustic yet contemporary look. A bold surface full of character inspired by the Po Plain oaks and the unmistakable language of nature. The selected shades allow Sherwood to be used in classic and contemporary spaces, panelling, and fit-outs that require stylish visual and tactile details. The generous drawer – over 100 cm wide (41.25 in) and 35 cm deep (13.75 in) is finished to a tee with the single strip metal griff handle. Room for everything when you need it Above, a pop of color in the handy 2-shelf vertical wall unit takes the set right out of the ordinary, the bright yellow matt lacquer providing a cherry, fun element to your bathroom. Each shelf is 10" (25 cm) high - plenty of room for those taller creams, potions and lotions. Beside it sits the first of the two useful wall mirrors, allowing to people to carry out their morning rituals at the same time: the first is 19.75" (50 cm) square, the second smaller mirror 19.75" (50 cm) high x 13.75" (35 cm) wide.

This spare but stylish set of bathroom furniture unites a clarity and cleanliness of design with ultimate practicality for the bathroom with simple needs or restricted space. Attractive contrast: The one-piece, beveled-edge countertop and built-in basin is crafted from slim white gloss ceramic, an attractive counterfoil to the dark woody base. It features a soft-edged, rectangular shape which tapers to a smaller base. The whole unit is wall-mounted, to further enhance its sheer, ‘floating’, base-less simplicity. Ceramic countertop and built-in basin have been made in Italy and is available in a sleek, glossy white finish. Constructed using our elegant but strong and durable ceramic material of 1.6 cm thick. The stain resistant qualities and low surface moisture absorbency of this washbasin are functional and easy to clean. Forest tones: It brings together a single, roomy drawer finished in sophisticated dark brown composite veneer, the dramatic contrasting wood-grain evoking the tones of the mist-shrouded mountain forest, perfectly offset by the single strip metal griff handle. A bold surface full of character inspired by the Po Plain oaks and the unmistakable language of nature. The selected shades allow Sherwood to be used in classic and contemporary spaces, panelling, and fit-outs that require stylish visual and tactile details. A touch of the blues: The concept of our furniture compositions sets is founded on versatility and functionality. By designing a whole range of modularised options from open fronted cabinets with shelves, floor and wall units and multi-shelf storage, you can build the the perfect solution for your bathroom needs. Extra storage space, more shelves, an additional wall unit, or less shelves and a more minimal look…it’s all possible with our composition furniture range. Simply mix and match the elements until you achieve exactly what you want. The total effect is brought to life by the addition of the three-shelf vertical wall unit in sublime, matt, cobalt blue lacquer. This very handy, open-fronted unit provides storage for taller items such as shampoos and creams.
