This is an example of a full sun front yard formal garden in Chicago for summer.

Example of a cottage l-shaped medium tone wood floor, brown floor and vaulted ceiling open concept kitchen design in Boise with a farmhouse sink, flat-panel cabinets, black cabinets, white backsplash, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, an island and white countertops

For the cooler evenings the fire pit, fire place and fire bowls add ambiance and the heat needed to enjoy the breathtaking view over the golf course and of the star filled sky.

This creative transitional space was transformed from a very dated layout that did not function well for our homeowners - who enjoy cooking for both their family and friends. They found themselves cooking on a 30" by 36" tiny island in an area that had much more potential. A completely new floor plan was in order. An unnecessary hallway was removed to create additional space and a new traffic pattern. New doorways were created for access from the garage and to the laundry. Just a couple of highlights in this all Thermador appliance professional kitchen are the 10 ft island with two dishwashers (also note the heated tile area on the functional side of the island), double floor to ceiling pull-out pantries flanking the refrigerator, stylish soffited area at the range complete with burnished steel, niches and shelving for storage. Contemporary organic pendants add another unique texture to this beautiful, welcoming, one of a kind kitchen! Photos by David Cobb Photography.

The 48-inch Wolf Stainless Steel appliances provide plenty of cooking and ventilation power. The pot filler faucet on the rear wall makes filling the kettles and pots a simple task.

The cedar tub relates to the cedar deck, benches and beam screens. This view is from the door of the ADU looking out into the space. The greenhouse like material we used on the fence acts as a changing art piece where the shadows and lights interact with it. I designed it to be modern Shoji like screens.

Surrounded by canyon views and nestled in the heart of Orange County, this 9,000 square foot home encompasses all that is “chic”. Clean lines, interesting textures, pops of color, and an emphasis on art were all key in achieving this contemporary but comfortable sophistication. Photography by Chad Mellon
