When this suburban family decided to renovate their kitchen, they knew that they wanted a little more space. Advance Design worked together with the homeowner to design a kitchen that would work for a large family who loved to gather regularly and always ended up in the kitchen! So the project began with extending out an exterior wall to accommodate a larger island and more moving-around space between the island and the perimeter cabinetry. Style was important to the cook, who began collecting accessories and photos of the look she loved for months prior to the project design. She was drawn to the brightness of whites and grays, and the design accentuated this color palette brilliantly with the incorporation of a warm shade of brown woods that originated from a dining room table that was a family favorite. Classic gray and white cabinetry from Dura Supreme hits the mark creating a perfect balance between bright and subdued. Hints of gray appear in the bead board detail peeking just behind glass doors, and in the application of the handsome floating wood shelves between cabinets. White subway tile is made extra interesting with the application of dark gray grout lines causing it to be a subtle but noticeable detail worthy of attention. Suede quartz Silestone graces the countertops with a soft matte hint of color that contrasts nicely with the presence of white painted cabinetry finished smartly with the brightness of a milky white farm sink. Old melds nicely with new, as antique bronze accents are sprinkled throughout hardware and fixtures, and work together unassumingly with the sleekness of stainless steel appliances. The grace and timelessness of this sparkling new kitchen maintains the charm and character of a space that has seen generations past. And now this family will enjoy this new space for many more generations to come in the future with the help of the team at Advance Design Studio. Photographer: Joe Nowak Dura Supreme Cabinetry

Remodel of a two-story residence in the heart of South Austin. The entire first floor was opened up and the kitchen enlarged and upgraded to meet the demands of the homeowners who love to cook and entertain. The upstairs master bathroom was also completely renovated and features a large, luxurious walk-in shower. Jennifer Ott Design • http://jenottdesign.com/ Photography by Atelier Wong

A beautiful location is worthy of a beautiful bath. With a water and mountain view just beyond, it was decided that the soaking tub was to be placed under the window for maximum enjoyment of the water/mountain view by day and the twinkle of city lights by night. However, the view is equally captured by the shower at the opposite end of the room. The homeowners requested two vanity sinks, linen storage, a make-up vanity and clutter free counters. All of this was achieved and more! The linen tower stores a compliment of towels and toiletries while housing a concealed outlet for charging personal grooming appliances (hence the clutter free counters!). The floating shelves on either end of the tub do dual duty of providing a landing space for wine glasses as well as offering the homeowners a place for decorative self expression. One feature not captured in the photos is the fact that the beatiful tumbled beach glass vertical deco tiles in the shower are reflected in each mirror and from the moment you first step into the room.

Moving into a 1929 home with golden oak cabinets, these homeowners knew their kitchen needed an upgrade. They chose the classic Dayton cabinets in Painted Linen and Painted Tea Leaf from CliqStudios.com for a more traditional color palette. "We stayed within our modest budget and got magazine worthy results," the homeowners said. They capped off the new cabinetry with black pearl granite countertop, quartzite tile that pulled the right colors together, and a clear glass fixture over their unique tabletop peninsula.

Interview with the collector Where did your interest in art originate? As a child I found myself looking at art and trying to experience the feelings the artwork brought out in me and what I thought the artist wanted to create. Artworks are an amazing way to experience and share moments together with others that words just can not express. Based on your experience, can you give an explanation as to why people begin to collect art? Art is a deeply personal thing, spend a moment in someone’s house and their artwork quickly immerses you in the persona of those living there. Art collecting is a passion for capturing moments in time and space that you wish to re-experience over and over again. Describe your art collection in three words. Stylish, emotional, direct. What tips might you have for new collectors just starting out? When you find an art piece that stops you, makes you feel something and communicates on a personal level you must have it. Start with something that is unique, simple and totally you, and over time don’t be afraid to experiment. What is the most powerful artwork you’ve seen or bought recently, and is there a type of art that appeals to you more than others? While traveling in Mykonos at a small gallery we spotted the 3D works by Paul Rousso. His larger than life art pieces make bold statements which mix vibrant colour, contours and free form paper-like forms into the extraordinary. I simply love art that makes you stop, creates a conversation-worthy statement and is subject to individual interpretation. This ties all of the works together that we have or inspires us. Do you have a favourite artwork from your collection, and what's next on your list? “Glam Jail” ticks all the boxes for me. It’s a conversation starter and having it in the entrance usually means someone always comments on it on the way in or out. With a few empty white walls were thinking of experimenting and reinventing with something that is fun, timeless and thumbs its nose at all the world events taking place. The attraction to glass, metal and bright colours as a medium really feels like something that defies conventions. Can you tell us the backstory to your house, how you ended up there, and how you turned it into a home? “Half as far and twice the size” was the brief to self when we looked for a home to start a family in the bayside Melbourne suburbs that were close to the beach. It took us a very long time to find it despite the countless unsuccessful auctions that were soul-destroying. But finally, after almost giving up the search, we came across our to be home, which ironically was just empty land at the time.
