Eat-in kitchen - contemporary l-shaped eat-in kitchen idea in Milwaukee with an undermount sink, flat-panel cabinets, medium tone wood cabinets, glass tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances

This young couple, busy raising two young boys (plus a playful cat), had always planned to renovate—it was just a matter of finding the right people for the job.
Their biggest concern? Hiring a contractor they could truly rely on to bring their vision to life without added stress.
The master ensuite simply wasn’t working. A large, unused deck-mount tub dominated the space, while the tiny, dim shower made daily routines uncomfortable. The layout didn’t make sense for how they actually used the room, which ended up being mostly for the toilet and vanity. On top of that, the master bedroom sat in an open loft without proper walls or a door, making privacy nearly impossible.
Our solution involved a thoughtful reconfiguration of the ensuite. We removed the oversized tub and replaced it with a spacious walk-in shower. The old, cramped shower space became the perfect spot for a relocated vanity, allowing for better flow and use of the room. Up in the loft, we built a new wall with a door to give the bedroom the privacy it was missing. The stairway was also refreshed with new oak treads and a stained handrail to match the existing flooring.
One challenge during construction was installing the custom shower glass and tile within the sloped ceilings and angled walls—but our team carefully managed every detail to ensure a precise and polished finish.
The new master ensuite now feels like a retreat.
Handmade-style blue subway tiles add a calming pop of colour in the shower, paired with crème porcelain floor tiles. A prefabricated solid wood vanity with quartz countertop, brushed nickel fixtures, and an electric towel warmer complete the space—bringing comfort and functionality together beautifully.
A fun moment during the design phase? We used stools, tables, and even a piano to mock up the future layout—helping the homeowners get a real feel for the spacing between the new vanity and toilet. It was a creative, hands-on way to ensure everyone felt confident moving forward.
Now, the ensuite functions exactly as it should: a fully usable and relaxing 3-piece bathroom, styled just the way they wanted. And with the new loft wall and door, the bedroom finally feels like a true primary suite—private, peaceful, and made for them.

This smaller lightweight version of the original Large Nojoqui Falls wall fountain is named after the beautiful 164 foot tall Nojoqui Falls waterfall, located in central California where the Water Wonders line was originated. These water fountains are a truly unique, engaging and an elegant addition to any indoor space. Redesigned, the Medium Nojoqui Falls fountain includes long-lasting super bright white LED lights rated for over 10,000 hours of use and an ergonomic finger slide remote control to easily dim or brighten the LED lights or turn them on and off. This water fountain glistens as water sheets over the genuine multi-color Indian Rajah Slate flowing past polished river rock creating a soothing sound and beautiful focal point for any room. This fountain is engineered with Bluworld's clog-free, splash-free design and features the Water Wonders NSI™ genuine light weight Slate. Installation is super easy with the lightweight nature of the NSI™ slate panels. Simply hang on the wall per the instructions.
This water fountain can be customized with your logo. Etched and hand-painted logos start at only $395.00. Contact our sales department for more information at 1-888-499-5433.
The Medium Nojoqui Falls fountain is the perfect size to hang on just about any wall, and it will instantly raise the level of class in any living room, foyer, office or lobby. These indoor water falls come with a choice of four finishes: Standard colors; Copper Vein and Black Onyx and premium finishes; Copper Patina,or Brushed Stainless Steel.
Water Wonders NSI™ Light Weight Slate™- Water fountains made with our NSI™ Light Weight Slate use our patent pending technology which sheers a layer of genuine Indian Raja Slate and fuses it to composite material with the same chipped edge technique as slab slate. They are indistinguishable from a thick slab of slate. All the beauty is retained and the weight is reduced by over 90% making it easier to hang a wall fountain. Once it's installed, your only concerns are setting the flow rate and turning on the accent light with your handy remote.
Please note that these units are handmade and measurements may vary slightly. Texture and color of aged rustic copper, metals and slate may also vary slightly with each fountain.

To define the spaces of this semi-urban infill home, our clients asked for plenty of exposed concrete walls. We began the design process with a perfectly square black metal box that we cut into, sliced 127 feet of 10’ tall concrete walls through, and carved spaces, niches, nooks, and crannies out of. A flat roof plane with a wood ceiling cuts through the entire affair, offering a carport to start with, an entry, raised main living spaces, and a covered terrace in the backyard.
To meet their contemporary concerns, we ensured to provide elegant office and craft studio nooks adjacent to the common spaces, easily hidden by room-high sliding panels.

Our clients approached us to renovate their loved family home. The Main Floor needed a fresh update, and better functionality and storage to fit the needs of their growing family.
The existing Kitchen felt closed off from the rest of the Main Floor, and the layout did not allow for enough countertop or storage space. Each of their Bathrooms also needed an update and better storage.
Due to a previously bad experience with another contractor previously, it was important for our clients to work with a contractor who they could build trust with, and feel respected by and comfortable with.
Using space from an extra stairway in the side entry of the house, we were able to create a spacious mudroom, perfect for taking a seat to put on or take off coats and boots, and unique, hidden storage for seasonal and outdoor items.
We were able to create a more open concept Main Floor, by removing the walls between the Kitchen and Family Room. This allowed for a larger, more functional Kitchen. The new Kitchen is bright and welcoming with white quartz countertops that run seamlessly into a matching backsplash. Beautiful white cabinetry is complemented by brushed bronze pulls and faucets, and durable, contemporary flooring.
We transformed the Kitchen and Family Room areas with a vaulted ceiling, and a repaired and modernized Kitchen skylight. We also integrated a patio door entrance, which combined with both sloped and flat sections of the vaulted ceiling, proved to be quite a challenge!
This project involved skilled welding, roofing, and structural work, and it was important to maintain the structural integrity of the ceiling. As any mistakes could result in serious issues, communication between everyone involved was key! Regular team meetings, updates on progress, and addressing concerns promptly kept everyone on the same page and avoided misunderstandings. In the end, the raised ceiling, skylight, and patio door were well worth the work, as together they enhanced the airiness and visual spaciousness of the space.
On the Second Floor, we created a larger Master Ensuite by borrowing room from existing closet space. This allowed for a spacious walk-in shower, and separate bathtub. A prefabricated stylish vanity not only adds a pop of colour, but also provides plenty of useful storage. New marble tiling on the floor extends to the wall behind the bathtub, creating a luxurious accent wall.
The Shared Bathroom was updated to include a new walk-in shower, and a separate bathtub, surrounded by modern geometric wall tiles.
The removal of popcorn ceilings, an updated the Front Door, and a refinished Main Staircase with metal railings completed tying the home together, creating a fresh, updated space that this family can enjoy for years to come.

If you're looking to make a statement with the decor of your home or office, you can't go wrong with the Large Horizon Falls fountain. This indoor water fall is in the tradition of the popular Nojoqui falls series, but with a horizontal rather than vertical orientation. The result is a cascade of water streaming down a four foot wide span of beautiful Indian Rajah Slate to slip past the included polished river rocks below--a sight that will command the attention of anyone who enters the room. These water fountains are a truly unique, engaging and an elegant addition to any indoor space.
Redesigned, the Large Horizon Falls fountain includes long-lasting super bright white LED lights rated for over 10,000 hours of use and an ergonomic finger slide remote control to easily dim or brighten the LED lights or turn them on and off.

We used a local natural flag stone to create the seating area around the fire pit and the traffic areas to the pool from the existing patio. We also used the chilton stone to build the raised stone waterfall as a focal point for the space. We helped to settle concerns with safety and a diving board by instead installing a jump rock. To keep with the natural/ rustic feel the client craved we built a black bottomed pool.
