Transitional l-shaped dark wood floor and brown floor kitchen photo in Hawaii with a farmhouse sink, shaker cabinets, white cabinets, blue backsplash, glass tile backsplash and an island

We used spice racks from IKEA and mounted them 16" apart on each side of the large bay window so that we could store the books in a more natural way that also had more of a decorative look. Because kids books have such strong, recognizable covers and such small bindings, this view which is much more graphic, felt more natural for us. The dragon flies that are hanging above the glider are a contemporary interpretation of a mobile. They actually move subtly with the breeze caused by the ceiling fan. They glow in the dark as well, which should make for an interesting view at night.

The challenge with this project was to add a new era-sensitive upstairs bathroom and transform the downstairs double bath in an early 20th century NC farmhouse. We updated the baths with 21st century style and materials with keeping the farmhouse aesthetic in the details. Downstairs Double-bath Remodel: While the farmhouse inspired the room’s bead board chair rail, farmhouse utility inspired making its trim a continuous useable shelf throughout the room. The idea of utility came into play again in the custom moveable shelving system we created to hide the water heater while still allowing access when necessary. We designed a roomy shower space, tiled floor to ceiling in vintage penny tile with a Grohe rainshower system, a rain glass panel wall and a rain glass shower window to maximize the benefits of the natural light through single bathroom window. True to the house’s heritage we also installed a claw foot soaking tub (made with modern light weight resin) and 20th C. farmhouse inspired faucets and vanity light, and a pedestal sink. Above the soaking tub and it’s tiled roman faucet half wall we designed built in cubbies for towels etc. and a custom shelf reachable while in the bath tub. We took space from a closet on the other side of the original bath wall to fit in the soaking tub area. Utilizing the space to the maximum degree, we also made the space between the shower and bath tub a built-in linen closet. The vintage floor tile (patterned in the 1920’s) is our age-appropriate statement piece. We also sourced vintage half light solid wood doors. In one, to again utilize the natural light coming from the exterior bedroom windows and the bathroom window, we created the half light by cutting out a solid door and installing satin finished glass. In the other we sourced vintage “crackle glass” film and placed it on both sides of the existing glass panels.

Skirted toilet, clean lines. Room for two: two under-mount sinks, two vanity medicine cabinets, lots of storage, hair dryer pull-out in the center for two users to share. Balanced lighting; sconces with clean lines. A niche for soaps that reachable whether you shower or take a deep soak in the tub. Photo: Northlight Photography

Inspiration for a coastal u-shaped medium tone wood floor open concept kitchen remodel in Boston with glass-front cabinets, white cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, wood countertops and no island

The owners loved the styling and colors of their new kitchen (see "Island Affair" by Lenton Company) and wanted the new space to match. We removed the oak cabinetry and replaced with painted and glazed new cabinetry. The new cabinets also included pull out laundry hampers as well as a center column for additional storage at an easy and reachable height. Once we removed the large jetted tub, we were able to make room for a built-in bench with storage. Having the open space allows the clients to have ample space to move around the room as well as a get ready in the morning without running into each other. Brian Covington, photographer

Nursery's can be full of child-like things, or they can be very adult. This is a little of both, but it's definitely geared towards making the parents comfortable, happy, and relaxed.

From an early age, kids can learn to appreciate organization. Having their clothes at a reachable height makes their clothing accessible—for both the morning routine and putting away clothes. Kara Lashuay

This Boston area small mudroom bench and storage packs so much into a tiny space. In this design there is room for shoes, hooks for coats, open shelves for basets as well as a deep storage unit for hanging coats used less often. Cabinets that flip up make the most of the space that is above the reachable height of the unit. Drawers at the base of the storage unit provide easy access to the lower portion of that deep storage cabinet, typically difficult to reach with just shelves alone. Door fronts are in a shaker style, and crown and base molding complete the top and bottom of the units, and a butcher block bench seat adds the finishing touch to this small but useful entryway space.

This old historic building in Belmont, MA was converted into beautiful luxury condos. While the high 10.5 foot ceilings are a great feature of the space, they also created a design challenge in the kitchen. We wanted to somehow fill the space between the reachable upper cabinets and the high ceiling avoiding an awkward "open" look in this area. The homeowners wanted stacked cabinets, but rather than just doing typical glass doors, we installed cabinets with medallion mullion doors with antiqued mirror inserts. This not only gives the kitchen a classy look, but also creates some storage for those "once a year" items you can never find a place for. Another exciting design element is the wood range hood with nautical trim molding. Come visit our showroom to see this same range hood in person!

This workspace design minimizes clutter. Materials include melamine and glazed wood system. Continuous base trim and crown moulding help give the space its cohesive feel. Reach in closet had doors removed to allow for visible display and extra storage. Hybrid Ivory glazed with birch counter. Custom spindle legs. Under desk pull out shelves make items reachable.
