Inspiration for a mid-sized transitional u-shaped medium tone wood floor and brown floor enclosed kitchen remodel in San Francisco with a single-bowl sink, shaker cabinets, white cabinets, quartz countertops, white backsplash, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, no island and gray countertops

The former galley kitchen, which sat behind a wall to the living room, was opened up to create an open-concept cooking, dining, living space where one can admire the ocean view and chat with friends and family, all while preparing a wonderful meal. The owners love to cook, so this kitchen called for a robust Wolf range, stainless steel "restaurant-style" open shelving, a chalkboard, and miles of open counter space outfitted with solid, Organic White Ceasarstone countertops. The Brazilian cherry floors run right into the kitchen from the living and dining space, thereby maintaining the integrity of a single-room, open-living feeling.

This country kitchen is full of fun colors, open shelving and glass mullion cabinet doors. Our client wanted to add some warmth to the kitchen, so a copper farmhouse sink was selected. This single bowl farmhouse sink features a right rear corner drain, allowing for much more storage under the sink. The interior of the bowl is virtually indestructible. The copper patina is self-healing and requires no special care - unlike all of the imports. Drying after use is not at all required. Abrasives are even allowed. There is no way to damage the interior of our copper sinks! We offer a lifetime warranty and a guarantee that states: "If you are not thrilled with the quality of our sink when you receive it, I will buy it back, pay for return shipping and send a check for $100 in consideration of the inconvenience". No other company, of any kind, has such a robust guarantee. I offer that guarantee because I am certain we build the finest copper sinks in the world.

The homeowner's had been living with inefficient and worn-out cabinetry in their 1970's ranch. They had remodeled other spaces in their home and were now ready to take on their kitchen remodel themselves. We found cabinetry that was well made and within their budget and developed a plan for the stages of their remodel. Appliances, lighting and fixtures remained in their original location. The cabinetry was fitted with robust storage solutions to organize everything in a functional layout. The vinyl flooring was replaced with beautiful hardwood. The dynamic pattern gives this kitchen a lovely focal point. PHOTOS: Sharon Olsen, Designer's Edge Kitchen & Bath

Rodwin Architecture & Skycastle Homes Location: Louisville, Colorado, USA This 3,800 sf. modern farmhouse on Roosevelt Ave. in Louisville is lovingly called "Teddy Homesevelt" (AKA “The Ted”) by its owners. The ground floor is a simple, sunny open concept plan revolving around a gourmet kitchen, featuring a large island with a waterfall edge counter. The dining room is anchored by a bespoke Walnut, stone and raw steel dining room storage and display wall. The Great room is perfect for indoor/outdoor entertaining, and flows out to a large covered porch and firepit. The homeowner’s love their photogenic pooch and the custom dog wash station in the mudroom makes it a delight to take care of her. In the basement there’s a state-of-the art media room, starring a uniquely stunning celestial ceiling and perfectly tuned acoustics. The rest of the basement includes a modern glass wine room, a large family room and a giant stepped window well to bring the daylight in. The Ted includes two home offices: one sunny study by the foyer and a second larger one that doubles as a guest suite in the ADU above the detached garage. The home is filled with custom touches: the wide plank White Oak floors merge artfully with the octagonal slate tile in the mudroom; the fireplace mantel and the Great Room’s center support column are both raw steel I-beams; beautiful Doug Fir solid timbers define the welcoming traditional front porch and delineate the main social spaces; and a cozy built-in Walnut breakfast booth is the perfect spot for a Sunday morning cup of coffee. The two-story custom floating tread stair wraps sinuously around a signature chandelier, and is flooded with light from the giant windows. It arrives on the second floor at a covered front balcony overlooking a beautiful public park. The master bedroom features a fireplace, coffered ceilings, and its own private balcony. Each of the 3-1/2 bathrooms feature gorgeous finishes, but none shines like the master bathroom. With a vaulted ceiling, a stunningly tiled floor, a clean modern floating double vanity, and a glass enclosed “wet room” for the tub and shower, this room is a private spa paradise. This near Net-Zero home also features a robust energy-efficiency package with a large solar PV array on the roof, a tight envelope, Energy Star windows, electric heat-pump HVAC and EV car chargers.
