We are proud to share with you an exciting cabinet project in Bellevue that involved both the kitchen and bathroom. The client desired a European style with sleek, modern aesthetics, and we were thrilled to bring their vision to life. In the kitchen, we installed stunning flat-panel cabinets that exude a contemporary charm. The upper cabinets reached all the way to the ceiling, optimizing storage space and providing a seamless, polished look. These upper cabinets not only offer ample storage but also add a touch of elegance to the entire kitchen. To further enhance functionality, we incorporated wide drawers into the design. These spacious drawers make organizing and accessing kitchen essentials a breeze. They provide a convenient and stylish solution for storing utensils, cookware, and other items. For the finishes, we employed a combination of light and dark tones to create a striking contrast. The light finishes brought an airy and open feel to the space, while the dark finishes added depth and sophistication. This harmonious interplay of colors created a visually appealing and modern atmosphere in the kitchen. In the bathroom, we continued the European influence with floating cabinets. These cabinets, devoid of visible legs or support, create a sleek and minimalist look while maximizing floor space. The floating design also makes cleaning a breeze, as there are no obstacles or obstructions to maneuver around. The end result was a beautiful and functional space that seamlessly blended modern aesthetics with practicality.#europeanstylecabinets #modernkitchen #floatingvanity #flatdesign #seattlecabinets #moderndesigns

Before: Your bathroom is a practical space, outfitted with the basics. The walls are plain and unremarkable, while your shower essentials rest in a caddy hanging from the shower head or clutter the edges of your bathtub. Seating in the shower is non-existent, making the entire showering process a chore, especially for the elderly or those with mobility challenges. The overall design is simple, lacking a personalized touch or any element of sophistication. After: Your bathroom has been transformed into a luxurious retreat, thanks to HPA's Tyvarian® wall surrounds. These panels, designed to emulate marble, granite, and travertine, lend a high-end feel to the space. Each handcrafted panel from Utah boasts a realistic texture due to the high-definition images incorporated into the design. The shower area is no longer cluttered, with built-in shampoo shelves providing a handy and attractive storage solution. A comfortable shower seat has been added, bringing convenience and ease to every shower. The bathroom's aesthetic is now tied together with tailored Pencil or Mini Pencil Trim options, adding to its sophistication and personal style.

In many Parisian apartments, the bathroom may not have a window or a ventilation system. This can lead to issues with humidity and mold growth, which can be harmful to both the occupants of the apartment and the building itself. To combat this issue, some Parisians have installed dehumidifiers or air purifiers in their bathrooms, while others may leave the door open or use natural remedies such as vinegar or essential oils to combat moisture and odor. Despite these challenges, Parisians continue to make the most of their bathroom facilities, finding creative and practical solutions to the unique issues posed by their apartments' design and layout.

While these Lafayette homeowners were generally content with their kitchen’s overall footprint, they were discontent with the functional use of their space and the dated style. They needed more storage, better functional use of their cabinet space, and a brighter, more sophisticated design. Riverside recommended a pull and replace renovation as the perfect solution. The first step was to remove the soffit over the bar seating area, replacing it with two beautiful bubble glass pendants that created a striking focal point for the room. The dated cabinets were replaced with Wellborn Premier Prairie Full Overlay Cherry cabinetry and 5-piece drawer fronts that were finished with a ‘ginger’ stain. The couple especially loved the practical pull-out drawers for easy access to spices and other cooking essentials. A glossy white ceramic tile backsplash lightened up the kitchen, while the Daltile Deco Mosaic mural behind the stovetop created another decorative focal point for the room. The new Giallo Ornamental Granite countertops were finished with a half bevel edge and the flooring was replaced with Cove Creek Glazed Porcelain floor tile.

Revamping the laundry room brings a blend of functionality and style to an often-overlooked space. Upgrading appliances to energy-efficient models enhances efficiency while minimizing environmental impact. Custom cabinetry and shelving solutions maximize storage for detergents, cleaning supplies, and laundry essentials, promoting an organized and clutter-free environment. Consideration of ergonomic design, such as a folding counter or ironing station, streamlines tasks and adds a touch of convenience. Thoughtful lighting choices, perhaps with LED fixtures or natural light sources, contribute to a bright and inviting atmosphere. Flooring upgrades for durability, such as water-resistant tiles or easy-to-clean materials, can withstand the demands of laundry tasks. Ultimately, a remodeled laundry room not only elevates its practical functionality but also transforms it into a well-designed, efficient space that makes the often-dreaded chore of laundry a more pleasant experience.

The Setup For this primary bathroom project, the homeowners wanted to transform their large, T-shaped bathroom into a functional, multi-purpose sanctuary. The existing layout was inefficient, with a bulky built-in tub, a closed-off shower, and an awkward footprint that limited practical use. This remodel also presented a unique challenge – the homeowners wanted to use the space for workouts as well. The design needed to maximize the large open area in the middle of the T, providing enough room for yoga and light free-weight exercises while maintaining the bathroom’s aesthetic and functionality. Design objectives: Expand and brighten the shower area without major layout changes Replace the oversized built-in tub with a sleek freestanding alternative Create a flexible space for workouts while maintaining the bathroom’s design integrity Address cold flooring with added comfort solutions Enhance lighting for both beauty and functionality Incorporate storage for workout equipment and everyday essentials Integrate natural elements to accommodate the homeowners’ love of plants The Remodel Design challenges to be solved: Shower Expansion – The homeowners want a more open, spa-like shower but don’t want to dramatically alter the footprint. Workout Integration – Balancing fitness functionality with a serene bathroom design will require creative layout adjustments. Storage Solutions – With workout gear to stow away, the space needs discrete and versatile storage options. Lighting – Enhancing both natural and artificial lighting to brighten the large space. Cold Floors – Positioned above the garage, the bathroom tends to feel colder than the adjacent primary bedroom. A solution is needed to add warmth and comfort during use, without the need to reconfigure the home’s overall heating system. The Renewed Space Design solutions: Spa-Like Shower Expansion – Removing a wall and replacing it with glass transformed the shower into an open, airy retreat, allowing natural light to flow freely through the space. A curved black river rock floor and neutral linear wall tiles add warmth and texture, while carefully placed niche lighting enhances the tranquil, luxurious atmosphere. Workout-Friendly Layout – A custom full-length mirror was strategically placed to accommodate multiple uses, creating a fitness studio-like experience for yoga or light weight training. The mirror’s size and positioning allow for clear visibility during workouts, while also enhancing the room by adding light and a greater sense of depth. Custom Storage Solutions – A custom cabinet with a wood top was crafted to discreetly store workout equipment, preserving the clean, open feel of the space. Its design not only enhances functionality but also creates a sense of symmetry, bringing visual balance and cohesion to the overall layout. Enhanced Lighting – Replacing the shower wall with glass, installing a full-length mirror, and incorporating vanity mirrors with built-in lighting dramatically brighten the space. LED strip lighting under the cabinets, along the tub half wall, and in both the side and shower niches adds layered illumination, enhancing both function and ambiance. Heated Floors – Installing heated flooring provides consistent warmth and comfort year-round, enhancing the space for both workouts and daily routines. A European-style towel warmer brings additional warmth and a touch of luxury, elevating the overall experience. Final Thoughts: This transformed bathroom blends luxury with intentional design. By addressing the homeowners’ needs – from workout flexibility to spa-inspired details – the space now serves multiple purposes without compromise. The warm cabinetry, black accents and thoughtful lighting tie the design together, while the curved textures and plant-friendly ledge add a personalized touch. This bathroom is now a bright, welcoming sanctuary for daily routines and mindful moments.

Backsplash Tile Installation in Charlotte NC Backsplash tile installation in Charlotte, NC is a practical way to upgrade a kitchen without a full renovation. We recently worked on a project in Dilworth where the homeowners wanted a modern but subtle design to complement their cabinets and countertops. The challenge was working around uneven wall surfaces and ensuring a consistent layout across multiple outlets and corners. We installed a ceramic subway tile backsplash with precise spacing and clean edge finishes. Proper adhesive selection and grout sealing were essential for durability and stain resistance. We help homeowners across areas like Plaza Midwood and NoDa achieve functional and visually balanced backsplash installations.

This active, forward-thinking couple bought a new house in order to “right-size” for the next chapter in their lives. They found a ranch home in a neighborhood they liked, but the floor plan needed a remodel in order to fit their lifestyle. Two small bedrooms were combined in order to make one large master. The existing living room and garage were combined to make one large living space. The floor of the garage was raised to be on an equal plane to the existing living room. Hardwood was added to match the existing flooring and then all was refinished for a fresh look. A large ViWinco Bay Window was added where the garage door once was, and a Velux Solar Skylight was installed to add to the natural sunlight coming from the bay. Custom built-ins lined the furthest wall for storage and closet space. Sliding doors were installed as an entrance and exit to the back of the existing house. A new extended length garage was added for the owner’s vehicles with spare room for the homeowners brewing experiments. Azek window and door trim surrounded the newly installed ViWinco windows along with Cedar Siding mimicking the house. Liftmaster Garage Doors were installed with dual controls for the car and a spare for safety and easy entry. Hangout for Grandchildren These two people are much too busy with their jobs and their many hobbies, from beer brewing, to gardening, and everything in between. But they needed a place where grandchildren could hang out and watch a movie when they came to visit. A part of their basement was finished into a perfect space with a lot of storage for games, books, movies and any other toys or crafts that may need to be stored for frequent visits. Custom bookshelves lined two walls and one was designed for the television and all its components. The area was carpeted and a hall was created with tile to another storage cabinet for linens. A nice basement bathroom was created opposite to the laundry area. Basement Bathroom Remodel A Sterling Accord, 60” Seated Shower was installed in the bathroom with a Moen 4-functioning massaging hand shower with slide bar for the shower feature. A Wellborn select vanity was selected with upgraded solid wood, dovetail drawers. Moen’s hardware on the cabinets compliments the brushed nickel plumbing fixtures in Moen’s Voss Series. The Highline Kohler comfort height toilet, along with the Grip-tight Cachet seat added to the practicality, along with the beauty of this basement bath. A Verdera Kohler mirrored cabinet was installed, giving this homeowner more storage for all those bathroom essentials. Kohler was also installed in this remodel, as the Caxton sink is a bathroom favorite among many of our clients. The Caesar stone countertop in Urban Safari, along with the 12” X 12” Castelbianco Nasino Ivory tile flooring, softens the look and brings it all together. This wonderful couple can now concentrate on their gardening and savoring the long days of summer.
