Bedroom - contemporary bedroom idea in Minneapolis

The Bernardsville project was my first attempt at a hybrid IKEA kitchen; a kitchen that utilizes custom made elements combined with IKEA cabinet frames and interiors. This approach ended up saving the client close to $30k in comparison to a total custom job. The outcome is quite close to the quality level of a custom kitchen save for a few quirky IKEA typical issues. A great option if budget is a big element on the project. We chose to work with the Portland based Kokeena to produce the custom end panels, doors, fronts and custom parts like the wine rack.Photo: ISA AYDIN

It’s actually amazing what you can do with an IKEA kitchen! Create a compelling layout, add some tailor-made elements and wow, it looks custom. Several key elements that will make any kitchen special; custom lighting from MP Lighting, stools from Emeco and a mix of upper end appliances like the Thermador cooktop and Bosch microwave. A sure bet to create the high design experience will emanate from a diverse choice of good materials like the quartz counters from Caesarstone, huge format (18x48) tile backsplash from Apavisa and some good solid stainless steel sinkware. Other important items not to overlook include some great and effective LED task lighting and plenty of lighting circuits that allow you to create lighting “moods”. This kitchen has layers of lighting.

Great bath design (IMHO) stems from the KISS rule: Keep It Simple! Awesome simple tile designs, float glass, chrome, and let the materials speak for themselves. Any master bath worth its salt should have a curbless shower with a heated floor. Vanity lighting is key and should include both lighting from above for ambiance and direct, bright, in-your-face lighting for everyday tasks like putting on makeup or shaving, on separate circuits of course.

Simple fireplace remodel: remove all of the 80’s trim and mantle and create a great clean fireplace with minimal investment by finishing the walls in a contrasting plaster. We added this vent free glass media gas set to convert the old wood burning unit to an easy and trouble free set up.

This is one of the two kitchens in this Seattle home, for the owners of Starbucks. I designed it with John Saladino who I worked for at the time.

Spa bath- nothing like white walls with teak wood. Wood feels great on your feet in the shower.
