When the client moved in to this house, updating the kitchen was a top priority. This offered us the perfect opportunity to reconfigure the layout. A pantry and closet were removed from the exterior wall, allowing for additional cabinetry, and a much brighter and open appearance. Lighting was upgraded, and new appliances were purchased. Decorá Custom cabinetry was chosen, in an Inset door style. A custom paint color was used, to match the existing Sherwin Williams ‘Alabaster’ millwork. The appliances are perfectly built in to custom-sized units for a seamless and flush appearance. The reverse-arch island includes cleverly angled cabinets, and a built-in microwave. The Butler’s Pantry has abundant storage, including drawers, display areas, and a wine shelf. Balancing the Butler’s Pantry, the range top area also features glass door cabinets, as well as abundant drawers, and hidden storage. It’s the details that make this kitchen such a showstopper! 9 foot ceilings allow for 12” of stacked crown molding through the whole kitchen. Classic bead board wraps the island, and serves to complete the Butler’s Pantry. The wine shelf includes a simple arch valance, an element that is repeated in the arched furniture base and the arch countertop supports. Mullion glass doors are an eye-catching addition. The cabinets are topped off with classic marble countertops, keeping the fresh light feeling; with a solid Walnut bar top as the stunning centerpiece. The Herringbone pattern of the backsplash tile offers subtle interest. Brushed nickel Finial hinges add a vintage look to the cabinets, as do the new light fixtures. The end result is an incredible transformation!

The Loyal Heights Addition expanded the existing home to create a more open, functional living environment centered around daily life and gathering. The design introduced a larger, more usable kitchen and dining area, improving both circulation and connection between spaces. A vaulted ceiling paired with strategically placed skylights brings in natural light deep into the space, enhancing the sense of volume and openness. Extending from the main living area, a compact deck provides an inviting outdoor space for seating and grilling, strengthening the home’s connection to the outdoors and supporting year-round indoor-outdoor living. Additionally, the primary suite was reconfigured to create a dedicated bedroom, bathroom, and closet area. + Architecture: H2D Architecture + Design + Interior Design: H2D Architecture + Design www.h2darchitects.com + Builder: GT Residential Contracting + Photography: Anastasiya Homes

This kitchen transformation by StoneUnlimited Kitchen and Bath showcases how lowering a bar top can expand your space. Some of the features that this kitchen had prior to the renovation included: dark countertops, travertine style backsplash and a raised bar top that obscured the view. Installing Colonial Cream Granite brightened up the room; working in balance with the horizontal layout of the Dove Gray subway tile. The visual impact of lowering the bar top has opened up the kitchen, making it appear larger. The added working space and seating surrounding the counter, has made this eat-in kitchen a great space to gather. This Stoneunlimited Kitchen and Bath Remodel included: Countertops: Colonial Cream Granite with 1/4" Bevel edge supported by 4 traditional wood corbels Tile Backsplash: 3” x 6” glazed ceramic – Dove Gray Crackled subway tiles Cabinets: Pre-Existing cabinets were painted with Sherwin Williams Paint and hardware was replaced with Ascendra Pulls in brushed nickel finish

Designer Danielle Lardani's clients love to cook, so they desired a new kitchen that appealed to them stylistically, while also supporting their passion for cooking. They wanted to include features that would make cooking together both efficient and enjoyable. Danielle fulfilled their dreams by creating a stunning, contemporary design that seamlessly matched the style of the rest of their home. She selected a horizontal, textured laminate by Wynnbrooke Cabinetry for the base perimeter cabinets, with a contrasting prep zone featuring Décor Cabinets in a Behr custom color, Adirondack Blue. To increase the efficiency of the space, the layout of the kitchen was reconfigured to create a more functional work triangle between the range, the refrigerator, and the sink. The new layout allows the homeowners to prep, cook and serve food with ease. To further enhance the modern look of the kitchen and accommodate her clients’ wishes, she chose floating shelves and a full-height backsplash to give the space a more open feel. Notable Design Details: - Danielle designed the new layout to include ample counter space for food prep. - She installed integrated lighting under the floating shelves and the upper cabinets in the prep-zone area to brighten these work spaces. - Danielle included a custom dish drawer in her cabinetry design. This optimized storage and allowed dinnerware to be easily accessible. - The knife block and utensil pull-out organizer keeps the clients’ cooking tools neat while also keeping them at arms reach.
