The elegant organic dining area was dressed with mushroom colored linen draperies and was furnished with a mix of casually elegant furniture. The warm wool rug grounds the space and features a blend of organic and wood materials. Leather seat cushions contrast the woven organic backs of the side chairs and skirted linen host and hostess chair provide a contrast of materials at each end of the table. The oak extension dining table features a subtle texture that provides an interesting and welcoming atmosphere for guests. The modern light fixture is an unexpected touch that prevents the cozy space from being too predictable.

Long hallway used to feel like just a path from one room to another—a plain, uninspired stretch of wall. But I've learned that a long hallway is a blank canvas just waiting for the right kind of attention. Instead of a cluttered gallery, I opted for a single, powerful statement piece that creates a beautiful focal point. I chose a large-scale abstract painting with a mix of bold and neutral colors to draw the eye down the hall. The scale is key: a larger piece in a narrow space makes a real statement and prevents the room from feeling too busy. With a spotlight directed toward it, the painting and the clean lines of the hallway create a modern, minimalist vibe that feels both sophisticated and welcoming.

This 100 room assisted living housing center had been purchased by new owners. Their primary motive for the exterior of the property was to create an inviting and interactive setting for residents, visitors, employees, and family. Healthcare research shows that comfortable and stimulating seating areas close to the daily activity of the front doors are generally well used and popular areas among seniors and employees as well to prevent "workplace burnout". A crushed granite seating area, wooden benches, a recirculating waterfall, and a variety of plantings surround the front entry island. Seasonal color, texture, motion, shade, wildlife interest, mass and scale is provided by the mix of entryway, foundation, and entry island plantings.

A second bathroom in the Condo Remodel combines warm terracotta hexagonal shower tile with a dense black-and-white patterned surface above. A matte black shower fixture and framed mirror connect the graphic accents, while the adjacent vanity introduces a dark veined counter and warm wood cabinetry. Pale shower flooring and white walls prevent the compact room from feeling heavy. The mixed tile shapes create a lively, handcrafted visual rhythm. Clay color hex tile below plays well with black and white patterned tile above in this Lake Tahoe Bathroom

This project was a gut renovation of a loft on Park Ave. South in Manhattan – it’s the personal residence of Andrew Petronio, partner at KA Design Group. Bilotta Senior Designer, Jeff Eakley, has worked with KA Design for 20 years. When it was time for Andrew to do his own kitchen, working with Jeff was a natural choice to bring it to life. Andrew wanted a modern, industrial, European-inspired aesthetic throughout his NYC loft. The allotted kitchen space wasn’t very big; it had to be designed in such a way that it was compact, yet functional, to allow for both plenty of storage and dining. Having an island look out over the living room would be too heavy in the space; instead they opted for a bar height table and added a second tier of cabinets for extra storage above the walls, accessible from the black-lacquer rolling library ladder. The dark finishes were selected to separate the kitchen from the rest of the vibrant, art-filled living area – a mix of dark textured wood and a contrasting smooth metal, all custom-made in Bilotta Collection Cabinetry. The base cabinets and refrigerator section are a horizontal-grained rift cut white oak with an Ebony stain and a wire-brushed finish. The wall cabinets are the focal point – stainless steel with a dark patina that brings out black and gold hues, picked up again in the blackened, brushed gold decorative hardware from H. Theophile. The countertops by Eastern Stone are a smooth Black Absolute; the backsplash is a black textured limestone from Artistic Tile that mimics the finish of the base cabinets. The far corner is all mirrored, elongating the room. They opted for the all black Bertazzoni range and wood appliance panels for a clean, uninterrupted run of cabinets.

This closet project cleaned up a tight (but lengthy) closet space with gorgeous new cabinetry and maximized organization. The original space is housed inside of a true log home (same house as the gorgeous Evergreen Kitchen remodel we completed last year) and so the same challenges were present. Moreso than the kitchen, dealing with the logs was very difficult. The original closet had shelves and storage pieces attached to the logs, but over time the logs shifted and expanded, causing these shelving units to detach and break. Our plan for the new closet was to construct an independent framing structure to which the new cabinetry could be attached, preventing shifting and breaking over time. This reduced the overall depth of the clear closet space, but allowed for a multitude of gorgeous cabinet boxes to be integrated into the space where there was never true storage before. We shifted the depths of each cabinet moving down through the space to allow for as much walkable space as possible while still providing storage. With a mix of drawers, hanging bars, roll out trays, and open shelving, this closet is a true beauty with lots of storage opportunity!

This is the second Classic kitchen for our restaurateur homeowner and they knew what they wanted, which was an eclectic look which matched their diverse and well travelled tastes. We started by removing the old kitchen which separated the two areas with a solid peninsula preventing direct movement from the kitchen to the table area and laid out things in a more efficient and people friendly way. We then installed custom, Benjamin Moore painted cabinetry and Luxury vinyl flooring for a maintenance free, warm wood look. Quartz countertops, better lighting and 3d Porcilain backsplash completed the look. The mix of materials and colours really makes this kitchen unique and something to enjoy for many years to come!
