This large kitchen space got a total remodel to address the young home owners' modern style aesthetic. Textured wood cladding with LED lighting to illuminate it is on the back of the 14'-0 long island. Quartz waterfalls down the sides of the island. The closet in the adjoining area was turned into a customized key drop and storage and display space. Singleton Photography

An ordinary backyard in Park Slope was transformed by defining the space with a change of level, and the use of brick and bluestone to provide seating, eating and hammock areas. Romantic, soft plantings are designed for lushness and seasonal interest.

The kitchen cabinet design provided a top row of glass front lit cabinets which take on an added dimension lined with wood grained inspired wallpaper and white matte cactus. An above sink succulent arrangement in a wooden trough brings a simple touch of cool cactus tones that echo the outside view. The open framed contemporary lantern style of the island pendants selection offers structure to the airy space and enables viewing of the television mounted on the adjacent fireplace wall while preparing meals. Roughhewn ceiling beams were installed throughout the great room to add depth and context to the large space. The separate breakfast nook beams were installed perpendicular to the main beams to bring extra focus to the lovely setting under the vintage inspired chandelier. Photo Credit: Pam Singleton
