Bonnie wanted to refresh her kitchen by keeping what she loved and upgrading what no longer worked, blending subtle luxury with practicality, all without changing the existing layout.
The original cabinets and flooring were kept, but the kitchen was elevated with several smart updates. Soft-close hidden hinges were added to the cabinet doors, and new brushed satin nickel pulls from TopKnobs brought a clean, modern look.
Countertops were replaced with Arizona Tile’s Della Terra Quartz in the Ripieno Honed finish. Two waterfall ends and a backsplash wrapping into the window sides created a sleek, seamless look.
A Kraus Turino sink and Delta Emmeline faucet were installed, along with a matching soap dispenser. Under-sink plumbing was also updated for proper function.
To improve lighting and airflow, a new ceiling fan with silver blades and six LED bulbs was installed. Additionally, eight electrical devices were updated with white Decora-style outlets and switches for a more contemporary look.
Bonnie also opted to install a new 30” GE electric cooktop with knob controls in stainless steel, placed right where the original was while keeping the wall mirror intact behind it.

The project combines modern design principles with practical family-focused living, resulting in a home that feels refined, comfortable, and highly personalized to the clients’ vision.

This custom home office design in Shorewood, IL was created to give our client a workspace that is both highly functional and inspiring. The homeowners wanted a room that supported productivity while still feeling connected to the rest of their home’s style, so we designed a modern home office remodel that balances organization, comfort, and personality.
The focal point of the room is a wall of luxury built-in cabinetry, finished in a rich charcoal tone. Arched shelving, brass hardware, and integrated lighting highlight family photos and curated décor, while closed cabinetry keeps the space clutter-free. The combination of display shelving and hidden storage makes this a functional home office design tailored to everyday use.
The desk was strategically positioned to take advantage of natural light while facing the feature wall, creating both efficiency and visual impact. A contemporary ring chandelier and under-shelf LED lighting layer illumination, ensuring the office works as well in the evening as it does during the day.
Warm wood floors and soft neutral walls balance the darker cabinetry, giving this Shorewood, IL remodeling project a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere. The result is a custom workspace in Chicagoland that not only elevates productivity but also reflects the client’s lifestyle — a home office designed to be as practical as it is personal.

This painted shaker kitchen combines clever layout choices with homely design features for a truly standout space in Thrapston.
Located in Thrapston, this kitchen was a full project from start to finish – one that we’re all really proud of. Built around Crown Imperial’s new Verona range in Grey Aqua, it’s a fresh, soft blue-green colour that works beautifully in this newly opened-up space.
Taking inspiration from our own showroom, this kitchen includes two favourite features – a cosy bench seat and a split level island. The raised platform helps define the kitchen area without closing anything off, keeping the layout open but well-zoned. It’s practical and looks fantastic.
The bench seat adds character and connection to the entrance space. It’s a perfect place to sit with a coffee, put on your shoes, or just enjoy the view. It’s one of the first things you see as you enter the room, giving an instant sense of warmth and welcome.
This was a complete installation. We removed non-supporting walls to open up the space, then carried out all electrical, plumbing, and plastering work, along with new flooring to bring the whole room together. Our team carefully planned and completed every part.
With its soft colour palette, zoned layout and thoughtful features, this kitchen manages to be both open and grounded. It’s a true showstopper – stylish, comfortable, and made to suit this family's lifestyle.
