The desk area in the kitchen serves as a perfect spot to leave messages and important information. Magnetic primer and chalkboard paint make a great backsplash and the built-in cabinetry blend seamlessly with the rest of the kitchen. Photo by Mike Mroz of Michael Robert Construction

92 square foot SIP panel, modular, backyard office. Shou-Sugi-Ban wood siding and Monotread wall sheathing. Our signature interior surface, Monotread is a durable, seamless, sustainable material used on floors, walls and ceilings. Milled from OSB (Oriented Strand Board), Monotread is produced from fast-growing, underutilized, inexpensive wood species grown in carefully managed forests. The combination of wood chips allows a unique, monolithic presentation allowing various applications. Photography by Blake Gordon and Lisa Hause

This room used to be one of the teenage girl's room, but they have decided to use this room as their TV and entertainment room. The room is small, the previous bedroom furnitures and the turquoise paint from ceiling to wall and the thick carpet gave the room a very stuffy feeling eventhough it had a very high ceiling. Both the teenagers definitely wanted white walls, space, comfort and a modern feel where they can invite friends and use it as well as a guest room. I opted for white all over, engineered white wood floor (warm to the feel, free from acariens and easy to maintain and clean), suggested the layout and the type of affordable furnitures and rugs from CB2 (they had fun and chose the furnitures and colors themselves - they made a great choice), (they loved the idea of the chalkboard wall in my home) chalkboard paint for fun which I aligned along the window, made better directional lights from the ceiling (led lights), simple suspension from CB2 to provide ambiance lighting at night and white lacquered TV/bookcase furniture from Ikea.

Location: Nantucket, MA, USA This classic Nantucket home had not been renovated in several decades and was in serious need of an update. The vision for this summer home was to be a beautiful, light and peaceful family retreat with the ability to entertain guests and extended family. The focal point of the kitchen is the La Canche Chagny Range in Faience with custom hood to match. We love how the tile backsplash on the Prep Sink wall pulls it all together and picks up on the spectacular colors in the White Princess Quartzite countertops. In a nod to traditional Nantucket Craftsmanship, we used Shiplap Panelling on many of the walls including in the Kitchen and Powder Room. We hope you enjoy the quiet and tranquil mood of these images as much as we loved creating this space. Keep your eye out for additional images as we finish up Phase II of this amazing project!

This expansive Victorian had tremendous historic charm but hadn’t seen a kitchen renovation since the 1950s. The homeowners wanted to take advantage of their views of the backyard and raised the roof and pushed the kitchen into the back of the house, where expansive windows could allow southern light into the kitchen all day. A warm historic gray/beige was chosen for the cabinetry, which was contrasted with character oak cabinetry on the appliance wall and bar in a modern chevron detail.
