Search results for "Pleasure elements" in Home Design Ideas

The client wanted a spare room off the kitchen transformed into a bright and functional laundry room with custom designed millwork, cabinetry, doors, and plenty of counter space. All this while respecting her preference for French-Country styling and traditional decorative elements. She also wanted to add functional storage with space to air dry her clothes and a hide-away ironing board. We brightened it up with the off-white millwork, ship lapped ceiling and the gorgeous beadboard. We imported from Scotland the delicate lace for the custom curtains on the doors and cabinets. The custom Quartzite countertop covers the washer and dryer and was also designed into the cabinetry wall on the other side. This fabulous laundry room is well outfitted with integrated appliances, custom cabinets, and a lot of storage with extra room for sorting and folding clothes. A pure pleasure!
Materials used:
Taj Mahal Quartzite stone countertops, Custom wood cabinetry lacquered with antique finish, Heated white-oak wood floor, apron-front porcelain utility sink, antique vintage glass pendant lighting, Lace imported from Scotland for doors and cabinets, French doors and sidelights with beveled glass, beadboard on walls and for open shelving, shiplap ceilings with recessed lighting.

This kitchen is a symphony of design choices that bring together both form and function. The undermount sink, quartz countertop, wood accents, and clever layout create an inviting and efficient cooking space that's as beautiful as it is practical.
The undermount sink is a prime example of form meeting function. This sleek, hidden design not only adds to the aesthetics but also simplifies cleaning tasks. Its seamless integration into the countertop ensures that messes are effortlessly wiped away, leaving a clean and unobstructed work surface.
The quartz countertop serves as more than just a durable and resilient work surface. It extends beyond its traditional role, doubling as a window ledge. This multi-purpose feature not only adds to the aesthetics but also provides a practical space for herb pots, decorative items, or a spot to enjoy the view while sipping your morning coffee.
Wood accents have been thoughtfully introduced into the cabinetry design to bring warmth and character to the kitchen. These subtle touches add a natural element to the space, providing a visual contrast to the sleek flat-panel cabinets.
Convenience is key, and this kitchen design understands that. The dishwasher, strategically located next to the sink, ensures that loading and unloading dishes is a smooth and efficient process.
It's a kitchen that blends aesthetics with practicality, creating the perfect culinary haven. Welcome to a space where every detail has been thoughtfully considered for your cooking pleasure.

Designed by Catherine Neitzey of Reico Kitchen & Bath in Fredericksburg, VA in collaboration with Joe Cristifulli and Cristifulli Custom Homes, this kitchen remodeling project features a transitional modern cottage style inspired kitchen design with Merillat Masterpiece Cabinetry in the door style Martel in Maple with Painted Bonsai finish. The kitchen countertops are Emerstone Quartz Alabaster Gold with a Kohler Whitehaven sink.
“Being part of creating this warm, texture rich, open kitchen was such a pleasure. The artist homeowner had an amazing vision from the beginning to launch the design work,” said Cat.
“Starting with her watercolor thumbnails, we met repeatedly before the walls started coming out to set the floor plan. Working with a supportive general contractor, the space transformed from 1978 to a modern showplace with nods to craftsman cottage style.”
“The muted green tone is a great backdrop for the lake views the home offers. We settled on an island design, adding storage without taking wall space away. The homeowner took such care with each decision to pull off integration of fresh, clean, lined modern elements, mixed metals, reclaimed woods and antiques. The layered textures bringing warmth to the space is something I hope to take with me for future projects!”
In addition to the kitchen, the bathroom was remodeled as well. It includes a Merillat Classic vanity cabinet in the Glenrock door style with 5-piece drawer front in the Boardwalk finish and a Virginia Marble cultured marble wave bowl vanity top in the color Bright White.

There is nothing more gratifying than seeing our clients return and ecstatic to start their next project with us. Last year, Project Manager, Steve Shanholtz, and Designer, Sarah McDonald, had the pleasure of transforming this Albany couple’s kitchen, and no sooner than we had finished our punch list were we ready to dive into the bathroom renovations just down the hall. The existing half-bath felt cramped and underutilized with a bulky double slop sink and built-ins. We relocated the sink to where the built-ins were stationed, installed a smaller tub (perfect for little ones or pets) where the doorway once stood and created a new entrance to the space. The lighted medicine cabinet seemed somewhat out of place in its new location. Thankfully, our lead carpenter, Dave Buran worked his magic and added some custom shelving around it providing extra storage for everyday toiletries. To create a cohesive look, we incorporated gold accents from the recently renovated kitchen for both the sink faucet and shower fixtures. Perhaps the most striking element of this bathroom is the tile work. We searched extensively to find the perfect tiles and the effort paid off. The shower’s exquisite jade-toned tiles bring a sense of elegance and are beautifully complimented by the accent tiles in the niches and around the backsplash. The end result is a fabulous new bathroom that feels much larger and stylish than before we had the Bennett Crew on site. If you’re considering a renovation: kitchen, bathroom, windows, doors, decks, we would love to make the space feel like your own!

Widesky Custom Homes has recently completed a stunning new build in the community of Bearspaw, southwest of Calgary, and Rochelle Cote Interior Design (RCID) had the pleasure of collaborating on the interior design. The project reflects RCID’s expertise in blending luxury, functionality, and timeless aesthetics to create spaces that are both stylish and inviting.
The home showcases a harmonious mix of traditional and contemporary elements, resulting in a transitional design that feels fresh yet classic. RCID’s thoughtful approach is evident in every detail, starting with the kitchen. The unique hammered metal-look tile backsplash from Centura adds texture and visual interest, contrasting beautifully with the plaster hood fan for a balanced and sophisticated look. The wood island, complete with turned posts, introduces a sense of timeless elegance that complements the transitional style.
In the living area, RCID incorporated a stone fireplace paired with custom wood beams to create warmth and character. These features highlight the firm’s ability to integrate natural materials seamlessly into luxurious interiors. The selection of furniture, décor, and custom artwork further enhances the home’s aesthetic, blending darker cool tones with vibrant pops of color for depth and personality.
This Bearspaw residence exemplifies RCID’s commitment to crafting spaces that reflect their clients’ unique visions while ensuring comfort and style.
