This bathroom has been remodeled, the existing soffit above the shower was removed, opened up, and floor to ceiling tile and glass was added. The large Jacuzzi tub was original, but the tile surround has been updated. Elegant marble tile has been added, along with contemporary glass accents tiles.

We completely revised the kitchen layout, moving appliances and fixtures around to accommodate a larger open layout. The old peninsula was removed and replaced by an island with guest seating. By removing the wall to the adjacent room, the room now feels much more open and bright. Commercial grade appliances include Wolf range and industrial ventilation hood, integrated counter-depth Sub-Zero refrigerator, beverage cooler, and drawer microwave. The oil-rubbed bronze fixtures and pot-filler contrasted with the lighter tones of the cabinets and Cambria quartz countertops. R.D. Henry custom cabinetry was finished in a cream color, highlighted by distressing and glazing. The new cabinets featured split-panel doors on the upper cabinets with frosted glass and LED backlighting inside the cabinets. The island cabinets in cherrywood were meant to complement the existing fireplace built-in cabinets. Every single detail was accounted for and executed by Brian and our team.

  Free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW   This project started out as a kitchen remodel but ended up as so much more. As the original plan started to take shape, some water damage provided the impetus to remodel a small upstairs hall bath. Once this bath was complete, the homeowners enjoyed the result so much that they decided to set aside the kitchen and complete a large master bath remodel. Once that was completed, we started planning for the kitchen! The original kitchen was just large enough to accommodate an island and a separate pantry but felt a little cramped, especially during the weekends when the couple likes to entertain. The primary goal was to maintain the functionality of the current space, but to add some breathing room as well as to provide a view to the homeowner’s side yard and substantial Hosta garden. The solution was to bump out the space about 10 feet which provided ample room for large pro appliances, a large island for gathering and an upgraded pantry space. It was important to the homeowners to create a space that felt like it belonged in their historic 1866 home. Details such as matching new trim to the existing large custom profiles in the original home and re-purposing an existing door to be used for the new pantry, provided these touches. A large window at the main sink provides that view into the yard and a beautiful focal point for the room. A mix of painted wood and stained cabinetry gives the new kitchen a sense of belonging in the older home, as do the Super White quartzite that has the look of marble, subway tile backsplash, polished nickel lanterns and glass and mirrored doors. The large pantry, filled with custom shelving built to the homeowner’s specifications, stainless steel appliances and the two Galley Workstations – sinks that do double duty as prep space – ensure that not only does the kitchen look great, but also functions in a personalized manner that works perfectly for the occupants. Doing the bump out also allowed the opportunity for a small mudroom and powder room right off the kitchen as well as re-arranging some openings to allow for better traffic flow throughout the entire first floor. The result is a comfortable up-to-date home that feels both steeped in history yet allows for today’s style of living.

Long time clients who are "empty nesters" downsized from a larger house to this new condominium, designed to showcase their small yet impressive collection of modern art. The space plan, high ceilings, and careful consideration of materials lends their residence an quiet air of sophistication without pretension. Existing furnishings nearly 30 years old were slightly modified and reupholstered to work in the new residence, which proved both economical and comforting.

This project is a kitchen remodel that consists of new cabinetry, backsplash, countertops, lighting, appliances, and fixtures. This home features tall arched doorways and 10 foot ceilings. In the kitchen a tall soffit sat above the existing wall cabinets. We removed the soffit and added tall stacked wall cabinets to maximize storage and lengthen the walls. In the bar area, vibrant green cabinets were added with floating shelves along with a drawer refrigerator, making this the perfect place to mix cocktails. Across from the bar sat a walk-in pantry. In place of the pantry, built-in cabinetry with easy access sliding shelves were installed.

The big changes to the bones of this kitchen were taking down the walls and doors between the kitchen, butler’s pantry, and dining room. We also replaced the existing windows with larger ones and added more windows between them, modernizing the space with a flood of natural light. The new, extra-long expanse of Quartz countertop is now where our client catches some sun while she makes her pour-over coffee in the morning at her functional, aesthetic, and custom coffee mug station. The sexy range hood paired with the matching Quartz backsplash and custom shelving is centered on its wall, directly across from a custom 48”x48” framed oil painting that ties the client’s color palette together. The vintage-inspired black vinyl floor mat balances out the black hood and plays off the vintage-esque bronze light fixture.

Our clients, two NYC transplants, were excited to have a large yard and ample square footage, but their 1959 ranch featured an en-suite bathroom that was more big-apple-tiny and certainly not fit for two. The original goal was to build a master suite addition on to the south side of the house, but the combination of contractor availability and Denver building costs made the project cost prohibitive. So we turned our attention to how we could maximize the existing square footage to create a true master with walk-in closet, soaking tub, commode room, and large vanity with lots of storage. The south side of the house was converted from two bedrooms, one with the small en-suite bathroom, to a master suite fit for our client’s lifestyle. We used the existing bathroom footprint to place a large shower which hidden niches, a window, and a built-in bench. The commode room took the place of the old shower. The original ‘master’ bedroom was divided in half to provide space for the walk-in closet and their new master bathroom. The clients have, what we dubbed, a classy eclectic aesthetic and we wanted to embrace that with the materials. The 3 x 12 ceramic tile is Fireclay’s Tidewater glaze. The soft variation of a handmade tile plus the herringbone pattern installation makes for a real show stopper. We chose a 3 x 6 marble subway with blue and green veining to compliment the feature tile. The chrome and oil-rubbed bronze metal mix was carefully planned based on where we wanted to add brightness and where we wanted contrast. Chrome was a no-brainer for the shower because we wanted to let the Fireclay tile shine. Over at the vanity, we wanted the fixtures to pop so we opted for oil-rubbed bronze. Final details include a series of robe hook- which is a real option with our dry climate in Colorado. No smelly, damp towels!- a magazine rack ladder and a few pops of wood for warmth and texture.

This 1995 contemporary Tudor is a spacious home with large rooms, multiple fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, and spectacular views. It sat vacant for two years until the right buyer came along. The new owners were excited, and ready to dive into remodeling. First project: A totally new Master Bath. The original bath had vaulted ceilings with popcorn texture. It also had a dated Jacuzzi as its centerpiece. Removing the Jacuzzi became a priority that would free up the space and offer all kinds of interior design possibilities. The owners chose Rick Jacobson for the project. After removing the Jacuzzi, Rick removed the existing popcorn ceiling texture and replaced it with a knock-down finish. He added adjustable dimmers and additional can lighting for the right blend of lighting. The new plan began from the ground up, with in-floor heating. The new floor is constructed with 6” X 24” Porcelain planks that look great. The walk-in shower walls are constructed with 12” x 18” Travertine Porcelain tiles. The shower floor, niche, and border were crafted using 2” x 2” slate Porcelain with Travertine pencils (the border treatment). The shower features a Kohler rubbed oil shower control valve, and ceiling-mounted 11-inch rubbed oil rain shower head. It’s a great combination for this beautiful shower.

An original, one-of-a-kind design for a complete kitchen transformation! Existing cabinet boxes were repainted, glazed, and topcoated in a lovely cream color with a mocha glaze. We added new, custom cabinet doors, painted and glazed to match, as well as new hardware in oil-rubbed bronze. Custom etched glass inserts were added to a few cabinet doors to bring interest and charm. The under-sink cabinets were modified to accommodate a new farmhouse sink. We installed chic Antico Bianco countertops throughout the kitchen. The backsplash is an elegant cracked glass subway tile. New crown molding was installed and we continued the look throughout the open concept area by painting the built in bookcases in the living area to match the crown molding, and using the same hardware as on the kitchen cabinets. This gives the space a sense of cohesion. New paint brightened up the space and the look was pulled together by the materials that were selected and installed, including new, modern pendant lighting and matching chandelier, classic oil rubbed bronze drape rods, and sophisticated plum drapes. The new light fixtures help create a dynamic view from any angle. The acid washed concrete style porcelain floors are carried throughout the kitchen and breakfast nook area, and are used as the floor molding as well. The finish of the flooring adds a subtle lustre that changes with the light.

Powder room and Main bathroom facelift. In the Powder room we removed original pedestal sink and put in small vanity with drawers and a Laminate counter top with a bevel edge. We finished off the room with new vinyl floor over the original tile, new bevel edged mirror, an updated light fixture and faucet in a chrome finish. The main bathroom we were able to add in additional cabinets for storage and more counter top space. Along with updating the cabinets came a custom frame for the new mirror, chrome light fixture, faucet, semi custom shower door and vinyl flooring over the existing tile.

This bathroom has been remodeled, the existing soffit above the shower was removed, opened up, and floor to ceiling tile and glass was added. The large Jacuzzi tub was original, but the tile surround has been updated. Elegant marble tile has been added, along with contemporary glass accents tiles.

Winter Wainscot Lincoln, MA Builder: D.B. Schroeder & Co. Inc. Cabinetmaker: Walter Lane, LLC design: Tim Hess and Jeff Dearing for DSA Architects Interior Design Collaborator: Tricia Upton Interiors Photographer: Greg Premru Photo Stylist: Stephanie Rossi This project started small, with the clients’ desire to remodel the existing kitchen. When our analysis of the existing conditions revealed the extent to which the house’s many previous additions had failed to enrich each other or unify the whole, the scope of work bloomed to include extensive renovations throughout the first floor. We’ve sought to bring a cohesion and clarity to this already commodious house quite beautifully sited. Much of the design attention in this project was focused on meetings and overlaps. The autonomy and dignity of individual spaces was restored with the creation and use of interstitial spaces; the spaces between. The doorway between kitchen and dining becomes a display pantry and wet bar, the entry foyer is framed with a narrower opening, and the way to the Living Room is re-shaped with a paneled deep jamb. The story is recounted in the January / February 2013 edition of New England Home.

We took a very nice kitchen and turned it into a BEAUTIFUL kitchen. We added space by bumping into an existing unused bath room. This added space and natural lighting. There are Centra cabinets by Mouser, inset, Mocha with a chocolate glaze. The countertops are an antiqued finish by Surface 1. We added an eating area with reclaimed wood finish in a natural oil and wax.

Working with the existing granite countertops, the footprint of this kitchen remodel stayed the same. Two cabinet finishes were chosen; white painted cabinets on the perimeter and a medium cherry stain was picked for the island. A neutral travertine backsplash was selected for the color and the subtle texture it adds to the space. Stainless steel appliances were used in the remodel.
