This new penthouse apartment built by BGD&C and designed by Darcy Bonner & Associates was the perfect location for the owner who did not care for the standard level of finishes offered by the developer. Working all together, every inch of the space was designed and engineered with the highest of finishes in mind; rare woods were selected, fully-filled and highly polished; in the full-service Butler’s Pantry, a beautifully cerused oak was used. The real challenge? Working in hi-rises has its quirks, getting the custom 12’ range hood up into the space - the last bit required it to be walked up a fire escape. Photo Credit - Tony Soluri

The blue glass vessel sink in the powder room is the perfect selection for the beach. The furniture like floating vanity in a dark wood creates a foundation for the vessel sink and plays a supporting role. The vanity allows the sink as a smaller object to play a large role in this space. Photo Credit: Randle Bye

We were involved in every step of this project - from demolition, through the full renovation, and finally staging and showcasing for its market debut Open House. Each element was carefully selected, to create a warm and welcoming home, that a new younger family would love. Photo Credit: Arnal Photography

Creating a new space that feels like it was original. By selecting the appropriate cabinets, colors & materials, we were able to create a space that blended in perfectly with the home's original custom mill work. Look to the back of the kitchen & see the original 100 year old hutch that now has an island to match. Photo Credits: Visual Memories Photography

There is no official "nook" in this kitchen due to the now adjoining dining room. Our client still wanted a small area just for her to have breakfast in the morning and watch TV. We created a rounded overhang and the end of the run, perfect for her to pull up a chair. Photography Credit: Mike Irby

The homeowner wanted to reclaim additional space in the living room, so we moved the peninsula in by 18". The flooring (12x12 ceramic tile) was damaged, and the homeowners selected photograph imprinted laminate flooring. We created a custom cubby to hide the water heater in the cabinetry. The cabinets in this picture were shelves; the additional storage space cleaned everything up nicely. The left pillar was a tiny bookshelf, facing into the living room; we faced it to the hallway to make it functional as a shoe rack. Photo Credit: Nina Pullella

KitchenLab Interiors’ first, entirely new construction project in collaboration with GTH architects who designed the residence. KLI was responsible for all interior finishes, fixtures, furnishings, and design including the stairs, casework, interior doors, moldings and millwork. KLI also worked with the client on selecting the roof, exterior stucco and paint colors, stone, windows, and doors. The homeowners had purchased the existing home on a lakefront lot of the Valley Lo community in Glenview, thinking that it would be a gut renovation, but when they discovered a host of issues including mold, they decided to tear it down and start from scratch. The minute you look out the living room windows, you feel as though you're on a lakeside vacation in Wisconsin or Michigan. We wanted to help the homeowners achieve this feeling throughout the house - merging the causal vibe of a vacation home with the elegance desired for a primary residence. This project is unique and personal in many ways - Rebekah and the homeowner, Lorie, had grown up together in a small suburb of Columbus, Ohio. Lorie had been Rebekah's babysitter and was like an older sister growing up. They were both heavily influenced by the style of the late 70's and early 80's boho/hippy meets disco and 80's glam, and both credit their moms for an early interest in anything related to art, design, and style. One of the biggest challenges of doing a new construction project is that it takes so much longer to plan and execute and by the time tile and lighting is installed, you might be bored by the selections of feel like you've seen them everywhere already. “I really tried to pull myself, our team and the client away from the echo-chamber of Pinterest and Instagram. We fell in love with counter stools 3 years ago that I couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on, thank god, because then they started showing up literally everywhere", Rebekah recalls. Lots of one of a kind vintage rugs and furnishings make the home feel less brand-spanking new. The best projects come from a team slightly outside their comfort zone. One of the funniest things Lorie says to Rebekah, "I gave you everything you wanted", which is pretty hilarious coming from a client to a designer.

To tell a friendly story of the history of the house, salvaged wood was used on shelves and selected wood tops, which also brought in the warmth this Vermont house deserved. To bring in industrial influences into this modern design, new steel I-Beams and posts was brought into the design and it was ‘aged’ by talented local artisan by applying custom white wash on the steel I-beams which also softened its lines. Existing wood floors also was custom painted to suggest a more modern effect and to complement the concrete fireplace For the living room fireplace surround, complementary finishes and colors were creating by using a blend of raw steel panels for it’s back wall, which contrasted beautifully with gray concrete fireplace box. Additionally, a darker gray concrete tone which was selected for the cantilevered fireplace heart. To further enhance the textures of steel and concrete, salvaged wood was used for cantilevered from the steel back wall panel. For other metal finishes, brushed chrome metal finishes along with the use of both raw and galvanized steel was used in other selected area to further to support a modern and industrial design theme. - Photo credit: Susan Teare
