UserOur approach to the dining room wall was a key decision for the entire project. The wall was load bearing and the homeowners considered only removing half of it. In the end, keeping the overall open concept design was important to the homeowners, therefore we installed a load bearing beam in the ceiling. The beam was finished with drywall to be cohesive so it looked like it was a part of the original design. Now that the kitchen and dining room were open, paint colors were used to designate the spaces and create visual boundaries. This made each area feel like it’s its own space without using any structures.
The original L-shaped kitchen was cut short because of bay windows that overlooked the backyard patio. These windows were lost in the space and not functional; they were replaced with double French doors leading onto the patio. A brick layer was brought in to patch up the window swap and now it looks like the French doors always existed. New crown molding was installed throughout and painted to match the kitchen cabinets.
This window/door replacement allowed for a large pantry cabinet to be installed next to the refrigerator which was not in the old cabinet configuration. The replaced perimeter cabinets host custom storage solutions, like a mixer stand, spice organization, recycling center and functional corner cabinet with pull out shelving. The perimeter kitchen cabinets are painted with a glaze and the island is a cherry stain with glaze to amplify the raised panel door style.
We tripled the size of the kitchen island to expand countertop space. It seats five people and hosts charging stations for the family’s busy lifestyle. It was important that the cooktop in the island had a built in downdraft system because the homeowners did not want a ventilation hood in the center of the kitchen because it would obscure the open concept design.
The countertops are quartz and feature an under mount granite composite kitchen sink with a low divide center. The kitchen faucet, which features hands free and touch technology, and an instant hot water dispenser were added for convenience because of the homeowners’ busy lifestyle. The backsplash is a favorite, with a teal and red glass mosaic basket weave design. It stands out and holds its own among the expansive kitchen cabinets.
All recessed, under cabinet and decorative lights were installed on dimmer switches to allow the homeowners to adjust the lighting in each space of the project. All exterior and interior door hardware, hinges and knobs were replaced in oil rubbed bronze to match the dark stain throughout the space. The entire first floor remodel project uses 12x24 ceramic tile laid in a herringbone pattern. Since tile is typically cold, the flooring was also heated from below. This will also help with the homeowners’ original heating issues.
When accessorizing the kitchen, we used functional, everyday items the homeowners use like cutting boards, canisters for dry goods and place settings on the island. Ultimately, this project transformed their small, outdated kitchen into an expansive and functional workspace.

From dark and dated to bright and beautiful, who says you can't take your kitchen from the past into the future? Open almost any design magazine today and you will see tons of examples of contemporary and transitional design. Maybe those designs are appealing, but you’re are just not feeling it for your own space or traditional suburban home filled with traditional furniture. Do you still have the option to remodel your kitchen in a traditional style and not have it look instantly dated? The answer is yes! This kitchen is a perfect example of how to do that. Take traditional cabinetry and sprinkle in a few updated accents and voila!
In addition to the look of the space, this 1970’s neo-Tudor home also had a very traditional floorplan which was given new life for today’s living. We eliminated the wall between the kitchen and the (rarely used) dining room which opened up the whole first floor and created the open plan that the homeowners wanted. With the added space, a larger island was added with seating for casual dining. An existing room off the kitchen now works as the main dining area and even houses a fireplace! Hardworking quartz countertops were used to keep maintenance easy, and professional style appliances were added for this home cook to really get cooking in the kitchen. An apron sink, Ann Sacks bronze accent tile, green glass pendants lighting and new window treatments transition this kitchen into the current decade!

Creative Surfaces Countertops & TileThese homeowners had previously used Cambria and there wasn't going to be any other countertop option when they remodeled this home. You enter the kitchen where you'll find clean lines of Cambria Newport quartz countertops on the kitchen island accented with Cambria Canongate on the perimeter cabinets. Around the corner is Cambria Galloway on their wet bar; and the master suite showcases a double vanity featuring Cambria Berwyn. In the master bath the shower was completed using 12x12 travertine tile on the walls, 2x2" tiles on the shower floor; all of it accented using Glazzio Mosaic "Restful Afternoon" tile.

Crystal Kitchen + BathEvery square inch must serve a function when you are downsizing. In this kitchen designer Carol Kornak replaced a desk area (a home office is located in another part of the home) with a beverage center for coffee, wine and other beverages. The location keeps traffic out of the main cooking area and allows guests to help themselves. The cabinets were custom painted a warm off-white to match the existing woodwork throughout the home. The glittery Cambria countertops complement the crystal pendant lights and crystal hardware.
Robin's Nest InteriorsIt was a pleasure to help this single dad transform a previous French Country motif into a Handsome Space with Masculine Vibe. The homeowner loves the blues you find in the Caribbean so we used those as accent colors throughout the rooms.
Entry
We painted the walls Sherwin Williams’ Latte (SW6108) to add warmth. We accessorized the homeowner’s beautiful burl wood cabinet with vibrant artwork and whimsical Chinese horses. I always recommend task lighting in a Foyer, if possible, and the rectangular lamp shade is the perfect shape to fit on the small end of the cabinet.
Powder Room
I adore the Candace Olson wallpaper we used in the Powder Room. The blocks look like sections of wood. It works great with the existing granite. Other examples of wallpaper here and here.
Great Room
We touched every surface in this Great Room from painting the walls Nomadic Desert (SW6107) to painting the ceiling Double Latte (SW9108) to make the room feel cozier to replacing the carpet with this transitional style with striated pattern to painting the white built-ins.
Furniture placement was a real challenge because the grand piano needed to stay without blocking the traffic flow through the space. The homeowner also wanted us to incorporate his chess table and chairs. We centered a small seating area in front of the fireplace utilizing two oversized club chairs and an upholstered ottoman with a wood tray that slides. The wood bases on the chairs helps their size not overpower the room. The velvet ottoman fabric with navy, azure, and teal blues is a showstopper.
We used the homeowner’s wonderful collection of unique puzzle boxes to accessorize the built-ins. We just added some pops of blues, greens and silver. The homeowner loves sculptural objects so the nickel twig wall decor was the perfect focal point above the mantle. We opted not to add anything to the mantle so it would not distract from the art piece.
We added decorative drapery panels installed on short rods between each set of doors. The homeowner was open to this abstract floral pattern in greens and blues!
We reupholstered the cushions for the chess table chairs in a fun geometric fabric that coordinates with the panel fabric. The homeowner does not use this set of doors to access the deck so we were able to position the table directly in front of them.
Kelly Sisler of Kelly Faux Creations worked her magic on the built-ins. We used Sherwin Williams’ Mega Greige (SW7031) as the base and then applied a heavy bronze glaze. It completely transformed the Great Room. Other examples of painting built-ins here and here.
We hoped you enjoyed this Handsome Space with Masculine Vibe. It was quite a transformation!
Advance Design Studio, Ltd.Mike and Stacy moved to the country to be around the rolling landscape and feed the birds outside their Hampshire country home. After living in the home for over ten years, they knew exactly what they wanted to renovate their 1980’s two story once their children moved out. It all started with the desire to open up the floor plan, eliminating constricting walls around the dining room and the eating area that they didn’t plan to use once they had access to what used to be a formal dining room.
They wanted to enhance the already warm country feel their home already had, with some warm hickory cabinets and casual granite counter tops. When removing the pantry and closet between the kitchen and the laundry room, the new design now just flows from the kitchen directly into the smartly appointed laundry area and adjacent powder room.
The new eat in kitchen bar is frequented by guests and grand-children, and the original dining table area can be accessed on a daily basis in the new open space. One instant sensation experienced by anyone entering the front door is the bright light that now transpires from the front of the house clear through the back; making the entire first floor feel free flowing and inviting.

Kustom Home DesignThis amazing renovation focused on solving a series of problems that a previous kitchen expansion had created. By rearranging the appliance placement, updating the cabinetry, designing all new storage solutions and maximizing the amazing outdoor views; we cured the spit personality disorder plaguing the existing kitchen. The home now has a beautifully redesigned kitchen and living space perfect for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying the outside views. Vaulted ceilings with bright skylights, reflective glass wall tiles, sleek sophisticated Cambria quartz counter tops, fingerprint-free faucet, multi-functional Prolific kitchen sink by Kohler, stainless steel appliances, creative storage solutions, all new lighting and timeless shaker cabinets by Wellborn lend to the now bright, open, vivacious and flawless function of this newly renovated galley style kitchen. White base cabinets along the outside walls contrast perfectly with the dark grey island cabinets. Linear satin nickel door and drawer pulls coordinate with the stainless steel appliances and sink. An eclectic blend of vintage and modern furnishings, artwork and rugs create a comfortable balance that feels and looks timeless. Breathtaking backyard views are artfully framed by new Pella windows and doors with integral blinds between the glass. Calm, inviting neutral tones provide the perfect backdrop for this refined design.

Franklin County's Leading General Contractors - 2X Best of Houzz!
Metro Design Build GroupThis Leesburg renovation reimagined the heart of the home with a more functional kitchen, beautifully layered finishes, and thoughtful updates throughout the first floor.
The original kitchen was constrained by an enclosed pantry that projected into the room, along with a separate closet between the kitchen and mudroom. Removing these enclosures allowed the kitchen to extend farther into the former pantry area, creating space for a wall of custom pantry cabinetry and a significantly larger island. Access between the kitchen, laundry room, and mudroom was also reworked with new doorways, including a space-saving pocket door into the laundry room, resulting in a more natural flow among these hardworking spaces.
Within the expanded layout, the sink, refrigerator, and range areas were repositioned to improve the kitchen's everyday workflow. The wider, furniture-style island now anchors the room, providing generous space for meal preparation, storage, casual dining, and entertaining. Custom storage, including integrated pantry cabinets, concealed trash and recycling, refrigerator drawers, and a dedicated spice and oil pullout, helps keep the kitchen organized and visually calm.
Soft, warm-gray perimeter cabinetry is balanced by rich espresso-stained maple cabinetry on the island and pantry wall. Honed Calacatta Cervaiole marble flows across the countertops and continues up the walls as a full-height backsplash, bringing movement and character to the refined palette. A professional-style range, custom plaster-finished range hood, aged-brass hardware, sculptural lighting, and carefully placed art sconces add warmth and personality.
The renovation extended beyond the kitchen to include updates to the mudroom, laundry room, powder room, and surrounding first-floor spaces. Existing hardwoods were refinished, and new hardwood flooring was incorporated into the sunroom to create a seamless transition from room to room. In the powder room, a black furniture-style vanity, marble countertop, brass fixtures, and rich, earthy wall color create an intimate space with its own distinctive character.
The result is a warm, collected home that feels elegant without being formal, bringing together traditional detailing, modern functionality, and materials designed to become even more beautiful with time.

Powell ConstructionFor this whole house remodel, we wanted to create a cohesive design with a modern and rustic style. This meant updating every finish, reconfiguring rooms, and adding custom touches in just about every corner. Our concept for the color scheme of the project was focused on the homeowner’s favorite “warm sweater” colors. We wanted taupe and warm neutrals to contrast bold accents and let the landscape be the accent. Leaning into a contemporary transitional style, we composed a unique look. Engineered hardwood floors, new light fixtures, new paint colors, and custom cabinetry extend through the home.
In the kitchen, we installed a new corner window, a full-height tile backsplash, and custom corner breakfast nook. Moving into the family room, we added a new custom built-in tv cabinet and whitewashed the brick behind the fireplace. Down the hallway, we installed a modern bronze and glass door to create a vestibule style entry to the owner’s suite. This was a creative way to break up the long hallway. Off the hallway, we designed an elevated powder room that is a moody gem. It features a striking wall-hung limestone sink with brushed gold exposed plumbing and fixtures. A Turkish “Silver Shadow” marble wraps the room in a wainscoting detail to add interest. Statement oil rubbed bronze light fixtures with glass details make the room glow. A warm mauve yet neutral paint color washes the walls and ceiling.
With the goal of creating a home that welcomes guests, we crafted a guest suite with its own private bathroom by taking space from an existing bedroom. The guest bathroom features a curbless shower, custom white oak vanity, and a large closet with a custom closet solution. Brushed gold hardware and creamy beige zellige tile create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
For the primary suite, we remodeled and reconfigured the entire bathroom and bedroom so that from first entry into the suite, you have a beautiful view. Accentuating the tall, vaulted ceilings, we added wall washer sconces, a chandelier hanging from the beam, and a nook for a beautiful antique armoire to recess in to. A custom vanity with a touch screen lighted mirror is the perfect place to get ready for the day.
A luxurious walk-in closet now sits off the primary bedroom. Custom cabinetry takes advantage of every square inch of space, with adjustable shelves and the perfect balance of open to closed areas. We designed shelving specifically for handbags with a bifold door and drawers sized perfectly for jewelry. In the primary bathroom long, pendant lights hang from the vaulted ceiling and extra tall custom mirrors accentuate the height of the room. A black quartz countertop with warm veining and dark mahogany cabinetry makes a bold statement against the neutral backdrop of the other finishes. The curbless walk-in shower features a linear drain, custom glass enclosure, and a floating corner bench seat.

This meant updating every finish, reconfiguring rooms, and adding custom touches in just about every corner. Our concept for the color scheme of the project was focused on the homeowner’s favorite “warm sweater” colors. We wanted taupe and warm neutrals to contrast bold accents and let the landscape be the accent. Leaning into a contemporary transitional style, we composed a unique look. Engineered hardwood floors, new light fixtures, new paint colors, and custom cabinetry extend through the home.
In the kitchen, we installed a new corner window, a full-height tile backsplash, and custom corner breakfast nook. Moving into the family room, we added a new custom built-in tv cabinet and whitewashed the brick behind the fireplace. Down the hallway, we installed a modern bronze and glass door to create a vestibule style entry to the owner’s suite. This was a creative way to break up the long hallway. Off the hallway, we designed an elevated powder room that is a moody gem. It features a striking wall-hung limestone sink with brushed gold exposed plumbing and fixtures. A Turkish “Silver Shadow” marble wraps the room in a wainscoting detail to add interest. Statement oil rubbed bronze light fixtures with glass details make the room glow. A warm mauve yet neutral paint color washes the walls and ceiling.
With the goal of creating a home that welcomes guests, we crafted a guest suite with its own private bathroom by taking space from an existing bedroom. The guest bathroom features a curbless shower, custom white oak vanity, and a large closet with a custom closet solution. Brushed gold hardware and creamy beige zellige tile create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
For the primary suite, we remodeled and reconfigured the entire bathroom and bedroom so that from first entry into the suite, you have a beautiful view. Accentuating the tall, vaulted ceilings, we added wall washer sconces, a chandelier hanging from the beam, and a nook for a beautiful antique armoire to recess in to. A custom vanity with a touch screen lighted mirror is the perfect place to get ready for the day.
A luxurious walk-in closet now sits off the primary bedroom. Custom cabinetry takes advantage of every square inch of space, with adjustable shelves and the perfect balance of open to closed areas. We designed shelving specifically for handbags with a bifold door and drawers sized perfectly for jewelry. In the primary bathroom long, pendant lights hang from the vaulted ceiling and extra tall custom mirrors accentuate the height of the room. A black quartz countertop with warm veining and dark mahogany cabinetry makes a bold statement against the neutral backdrop of the other finishes. The curbless walk-in shower features a linear drain, custom glass enclosure, and a floating corner bench seat.
Robin's Nest InteriorsIt was a pleasure to help this single dad transform a previous French Country motif into a Handsome Space with Masculine Vibe. The homeowner loves the blues you find in the Caribbean so we used those as accent colors throughout the rooms.
Entry
We painted the walls Sherwin Williams’ Latte (SW6108) to add warmth. We accessorized the homeowner’s beautiful burl wood cabinet with vibrant artwork and whimsical Chinese horses. I always recommend task lighting in a Foyer, if possible, and the rectangular lamp shade is the perfect shape to fit on the small end of the cabinet.
Powder Room
I adore the Candace Olson wallpaper we used in the Powder Room. The blocks look like sections of wood. It works great with the existing granite. Other examples of wallpaper here and here.
Great Room
We touched every surface in this Great Room from painting the walls Nomadic Desert (SW6107) to painting the ceiling Double Latte (SW9108) to make the room feel cozier to replacing the carpet with this transitional style with striated pattern to painting the white built-ins.
Furniture placement was a real challenge because the grand piano needed to stay without blocking the traffic flow through the space. The homeowner also wanted us to incorporate his chess table and chairs. We centered a small seating area in front of the fireplace utilizing two oversized club chairs and an upholstered ottoman with a wood tray that slides. The wood bases on the chairs helps their size not overpower the room. The velvet ottoman fabric with navy, azure, and teal blues is a showstopper.
We used the homeowner’s wonderful collection of unique puzzle boxes to accessorize the built-ins. We just added some pops of blues, greens and silver. The homeowner loves sculptural objects so the nickel twig wall decor was the perfect focal point above the mantle. We opted not to add anything to the mantle so it would not distract from the art piece.
We added decorative drapery panels installed on short rods between each set of doors. The homeowner was open to this abstract floral pattern in greens and blues!
We reupholstered the cushions for the chess table chairs in a fun geometric fabric that coordinates with the panel fabric. The homeowner does not use this set of doors to access the deck so we were able to position the table directly in front of them.
Kelly Sisler of Kelly Faux Creations worked her magic on the built-ins. We used Sherwin Williams’ Mega Greige (SW7031) as the base and then applied a heavy bronze glaze. It completely transformed the Great Room. Other examples of painting built-ins here and here.
