This customer had a catastrophic water leak in her kitchen. She had recently moved in and the kitchen desperately needed a renovation anyway. It was oppressively cramped and tried to fit too many home elements into one space. The customer also keeps her granddaughter most days and wanted more space for them to cook together, and for her granddaughter to do crafts. We considered how to expand her kitchen into the adjacent common room, how to get her much more storage, and how to reconfigure her key kitchen elements to be more functional. We tried some out-of-the-box strategies, and met all of her wishes. She is thrilled with the end product!

The details added to this custom designed built-in cabinet give it the appearance of a piece of furniture. However, because the majority of the unit is pushed back into the wall there is a clear and unobstructed path into the kitchen. This cabinet is grand without being oppressive. In addition, cook books, pottery, and a collection of blown glass are displayed in this cabinet using glass front doors and interior lighting. We only design, build, and remodel homes that brilliantly reflect the unadorned beauty of everyday living. For more information about this project please visit: www.gryphonbuilders.com.

Black painted shelves created a dramatic library for rare books. Rose gold sconces and chandelier add elegance. Wallpaper in a Moorish design accents the ceiling. Black shelves and white furniture make the room striking and luxurious.

Entryway - rustic entryway idea in Raleigh

Looking through a new cased opening clad in hot rolled steel, the renovated master bathroom is comprised of a new floating vanity, a walk-in shower, a steam shower, and a free standing bathtub. Plain sliced black walnut and Calacatta Oro stone clad the master vanity. Basalt stone in various configurations finish the floor of the space and the walk-in shower. Custom stainless steel supports allow for the mirrors to float in the space while creating some separation of the master shower from the master bathroom. Photos by Chen + Suchart Studio LLC
