This commission was created to be the focal point in a living room. The couple I created it for had seen one of my paintings that they really liked. It just wasn't big enough to suit their circumstances. I recreated a similar acrylic painting 54"x 54" . It features marine navy blue, teal, cerulean blue, silver metallic and a bit of yellow orange.

Location: New York, NY, United States This Loft was tastefully renovated back in the '90s, but was due for an update and an expansion of the kitchen and dining areas to accommodate the client's cooking skills and entertaining needs. EnlargIing the island and adding cabinetry to delineate the office, bar and dining areas was a priority. The bathroom was updated to feel like a tranquil spa with beautiful new tile, plumbing fixtures and cabinets. Our biggest challenge was coordinating the entire renovation while our client was out of town for the Summer! Photographed by: James Salomon

The owners of this 1980’s built-home wanted to create a completely new look for their outdated master bath and turned to Renovisions for design and build services. Having perused Renovisions website, they were confident they made the right choice to help them transform their ordinary space into something truly extraordinary. The design team created several configurations for the homeowners review until they nailed down one particular design that would create that wow factor. The main challenges were creating an open, spacious feel and maximizing natural light and ventilation with plenty of storage and customizations. The addition of a second window allows ample light into the space throughout the day along with the recessed and sconce lights which were perfectly placed. Storage, which was a key element of this design, includes two separate vanity cabinets (his and hers) with plenty of space for needed toiletries, a matching framed medicine cabinet for her and a custom built cubby for him. Built on site was a linen closet with both roll out and stationary shelves for towels and shower supplies. The spacious walk-in, all tiled shower boasts ‘no door’ access with lineal drain, traditional fixed and hand-held shower heads and a rounded shower seat. Polished black granite was used inside the cubby and topping both the threshold and seat creating a nice contrast to and tying in with the floor. The decorative grab bar ensures safety for these homeowners while showering. The heated floors added throughout the bath take the edge off when stepping out of the warm shower and are conveniently operated by a 24 hour programmable thermostat. Classic white subway tile and chair rail trims adorne all walls and tie in nicely to each vanity station. Carrera look quartz was the perfect choice for countertops creating a clean fresh look. Stunning marble basket-weave mosaic floor tile set the stage in this exquisite bath as the beautiful white painted cabinetry softened the overall feel of the space. These homeowners are not saving spa retreats for once-a-year vacations anymore, they now enjoy a relaxing spa-like shower experience every day in their own home!

**I. Spatial Composition & Architectural Volume** The photograph frames the space through a deep, cased opening — a device that immediately establishes a proscenium condition, compressing the viewer's aperture and heightening the sense of discovery beyond. The room reads as an ancillary galley or scullery-pantry: a compact, U-shaped plan whose counter runs return at the right to form an L, generating an efficient work triangle within a footprint of considerable modesty. Vertical ambition compensates for lateral restraint. The wall cabinetry rises in a tall, unbroken register, terminating in a stepped cornice and a subtle crown that carries the eye to a ceiling plane of generous height, while a bracketed corbel at the upper left signals the transition to the adjoining volume. The millwork is the primary architectural gesture here: inset, beaded-face frame construction with recessed panel doors, mitred stiles and rails, and a rhythmic alternation between solid and glazed fronts. Those mullioned glass doors — divided into two- and three-light configurations — perforate the cabinet mass, dissolving what could have been a monolithic wall into a permeable, vitrine-like screen. The lower casework counters this with a disciplined stack of graduated drawer banks, the deepest at the counter line and diminishing downward, a compositional hierarchy borrowed from classical apothecary and butler's-pantry precedent. Sightlines are deliberately layered: the herringbone floor draws forward, the sunflower stem anchors the center axis, and the pendant fixtures descend in perspectival sequence, reinforcing depth along the room's short axis. **II. Materiality, Color & Texture** The palette operates within a narrow tonal bandwidth, deriving its interest from textural rather than chromatic contrast. Cabinetry is finished in a cool, greige-inflected pale gray — a low-saturation hue with just enough green-gray undertone to read as architectural rather than decorative — hand-applied to a satin sheen that registers the shadow-lines of the beaded frames with precision. Against this, the backsplash of honed marble subway tile, laid in a running bond with tight, matched grout, introduces linear grain and soft gray veining that echoes the cabinetry's undertone. The countertop and the returning waterfall-edge marble continue the vein pattern in a broader, more sculptural expression, its polished-to-honed surface catching light in diffuse planes. Metals are curated with restraint and consistency: polished nickel bin pulls, knobs, and cup handles supply a warm-silver punctuation across the casework, while brushed and mirror-polished stainless steel — the wall oven, the microwave drawer, the professional refrigerator with its cylindrical tubular handle — introduces a cooler, more industrial register. The oak flooring, laid in a fine-scale herringbone with a pale, wire-brushed, matte finish, delivers the room's essential warmth and its only pronounced pattern, grounding the cool upper volume. Small accents of natural material — an end-grain butcher block, turned wooden pepper mills, a hammered silver kettle — reintroduce the tactile and the hand-made against so much precision-milled surface. The sunflowers, in a matte white vessel, provide the single saturated chromatic event, and their yellow is deliberately reprised in the pantry's glazed shelves of packaged goods, transforming provisions into intentional color composition. **III. Lighting, Atmosphere & Style Profile** The lighting strategy is unapologetically artificial and theatrical. Three oversized, spun-metal industrial pendants — polished nickel or chrome domes with heavy cast collars and flush opal-glass diffusers — hang in a linear array, their scale intentionally disproportionate to the room, which is precisely the source of their impact. They function simultaneously as luminaires and as sculptural objects, their reflective canopies mirroring the ceiling and multiplying the light. Illumination beneath the wall cabinets grazes the marble tile at a raking angle, revealing its subtle relief and the depth of its veining, while the interior-lit glazed cabinets glow as illuminated vitrines, converting storage into display. Natural light is inferred rather than shown — a suggestion of daylight from the right — leaving the space in a controlled, even, shadow-managed luminosity that reads as both crisp and enveloping. The atmosphere is one of ordered domestic industry: pristine, quietly luxurious, and legibly functional. Stylistically, the room resolves as *Transitional Classicism with a Warm Industrial inflection* — the inset, beaded millwork and stepped cornices citing Georgian and Edwardian butler's-pantry tradition; the professional-grade stainless appliances and factory-scale pendants asserting a contemporary, utilitarian counterpoint; and the herringbone oak and marble mediating between them. It is a synthesis in which historical grammar governs the composition while modern hardware and lighting supply the accent, producing a space that feels neither pastiche nor austere, but assured, timeless, and thoroughly of the present moment.
