The den is primarily used for television viewing. A comfy, oversized denim sofa and 2 leather club chairs are shown here with aged antique pine tables. A catch and release Sail Fish mount articulates the coastal feel as does the framed antique 1920s wool bathing suits, one man’s/one woman’s ( woman’s shown). We continued the use of raffia wall coverings and the white lacquer woodwork that is seen throughout the home. Antique sailor’s trunk, tropical plants and a black-bordered seagrass area rug finish the theme.

This stunning new release from Aquatica has been specifically designed to blend the influences of traditional soaking tub bathing such as that perfected by the Japanese, with very modern, minimal style and elegant, understated good looks. Sophia is all urban chic in its appeal. Its freestanding form exudes a purity of line that will sit happily in even the most designer bathroom. The deep interior – up to 23”, allows full body soaking made even more enjoyable by the gently curved end wall, made to conform to and support the bather’s back and spine in absolute comfort. The softly rounded rim provides a comfortable neck rest. The finishing touch is the smart yet understated solid wood bath tray, crafted to fit seamlessly in the end of the tub, for those important bathing items. Made from Aquatica’s innovative AquateX™ composite, Sophia provides heat retention and durability, is easy to clean and scratch resistant. Can be made in high gloss/matte finish.

This was a major remodel where the kitchen was completely gutted, flooring and soffits were removed and all the electrical in the kitchen had to be reworked and brought up to code. We used Waypoint Living Spaces for the perimeter cabinets and used a riser and crown molding to connect the cabinets to the ceiling. We chose Medallion Cabinetry for the island because the customer had her heart set on a green painted island. The hardware we used is from the Mulholland collection by Amerock. The customers have large family gathers and it was very important for them to have an island that was moveable. We used casters from Richelieu to create and island that could move easily, as well as having brakes to keep the island in place when they wanted. Giallo Traversella granite was used on the perimeter countertops to tie together the greens and beige tones of the cabinetry and we used John Boos, walnut butcher block countertop for the island to compliment wood tones from the existing millwork in the home. The customer provided me with an inspiration picture for a backsplash, she knew she wanted a glass patterned backsplash. Ceramic Tiles International had released their Debut Petal mosaic tile and the customer loved it. Prior to the remodel, the kitchen was very dark and very crowded, it did not function in a way that worked for my customer. We added under cabinet LED lights, one general ceiling fixture and LED Brio Disc lights with dimming capabilities so the customers could adjust the lighting to their specific needs. Light fixtures were updated in the hallways as well as the kitchen. My customer didn’t know exactly what they wanted as far as plumbing was concerned. They wanted products that were durable and easy to maintain. I chose the Blanco Performa undermount sink in the Truffle color due to is durability and the color complimented the other materials. We used Moen’s Arbor single handle pull down spray faucet and transitional soap dispenser due to its simplistic design, functionality and warranty. We used a ¾ horsepower Insinkerator disposal and a deluxe Steamball strainer basket. The customer originally had Parquet flooring and they liked the look of real hardwood. Madeira 5” planks in Dark Gunstock oak was chosen for its color and durability. The flooring brought in warm neutral tones to compliment other materials. My customer wanted a larger window, but they had some safety concerns. We addressed their concerns by providing a larger Awning style window, using tempered glass and double locks.

Enter a cozy cottage kitchen, where a harmonious interplay of white and dark green hues creates an inviting and refreshing ambiance.

Natural light floods in through the windows, illuminating the charming details and creating a welcoming atmosphere.

Your friendly neighborhood "stair repair guys" are at it again! Seen here is a replacement of red oak treads and "paint grade" maple risers we have recently wrapped up in Midtown #Hoboken, and now we are on to do a similar job in #JerseyCity. Here, we removed each tread and riser, and then using the original tread as a template, then onsite made an exact duplicate, and installed that spanking new replacement. No Home Depot or Lowe's junk-core treads with a thin surface veneer here! These much more authentic treads are SOLID wide plank 5/4" red oak. The railing system has been reused, only disassembling it and reassembling it as needed to do this precise tread and riser replacement. The project as seen here is ready to release to the paint and staining crew. Good to go for the next 150 years or so. TheStairRepairExperts.com StairRepairNJ.com marty.anderson@mac.com

The Simone Table is part of the Simone Collection. Designed first for Chicago’s Sol Cafe and then amended for wider release, the Simone Collection is a set of minimal, complementary tables and benches. This iteration is made entirely from solid walnut and held together with dovetail joinery. The pieces in the Simone Collection juxtapose disparate design eras and traditions. The dovetails are a longtime favorite of traditional woodworkers and are as beautiful as they are strong; spaced in irregular intervals, they offer visual complexity to an otherwise understated form. On the other hand, the hand-rubbed, Danish oil and wax finish recalls Scandinavian modernism. Tables and benches available exclusively in walnut with a Danish oil and wax finish.
