The old kitchen didn’t have one, but Beth and her spouse are social people who like to invite friends over for meals. An island with seating would create a social focal point for the kitchen. Photo provided by homeowner.

The doors from Kokeena were a particularly inspired choice. Beth and her spouse started designing their kitchen before IKEA released their new SEKTION line. They were a little let down when they previewed the new IKEA kitchen line in the store. The cabinet doors and drawer fronts seemed cheap to them. In fact, they “felt like molded plastic.” Beth emailed her dedicated IKD designer, Ana, and said, “I can’t do those doors!” Of Ana’s 2 suggestions, Beth and her spouse chose Kokeena’s Modern English Shaker-style door fronts which felt more solid than IKEA’s choices yet were still less expensive than custom doors. IKEA door handles helped keep the cost low. A friend suggested mounting the handles in the middle of the doors rather than along the top, for a more modern feel.

This master bathroom was large and awkward, with faux Grecian columns flanking a huge corner tub. He prefers showers; she always bathes. This traditional bath had an outdated appearance and had not worn well over time. The owners sought a more personalized and inviting space with increased functionality. The new design provides a larger shower, free-standing tub, increased storage, a window for the water-closet and a large combined walk-in closet. This contemporary spa-bath offers a dedicated space for each spouse and tremendous storage. The white dimensional tile catches your eye – is it wallpaper or tile? You have to see it to believe!

This project was a major remodel and modernization of a classic American Cape Cod. With inspiration from the East Coast but lots of small rooms from a bygone era, we opened up the interior to make the flow more like a new home with all the beauty of a classic home. All white - inside and out, the home has a crisp look with lots of detail. Black floors offset the all white walls and molding.

Carrara Marble Tiles and Bathroom Tiles We all love a bathroom backdrop that creates the most serene ambience in which we can soak ourselves after a long day of work. Nothing gives your bathroom that posh look like snow white Carrara marble tiles. It is sold in different textures and density in the market; you have the option of making the selection that suits your style. There are so many ways to carpet your bathroom with Carrara marble tile. Since the bathroom tiles are non-porous in nature, they cannot soak in water. This makes them perfect to cover your walls with them and provide that warm ambience as you take a shower. Carrara stone does not retain odors as well thus you are perfectly safe using your shampoo or liquid body wash however you want without worrying. Carrara marble tile bathroom walls offer a perfect white backdrop in which you can add details like silvery faucets, flower vases or candelabras when having romantic moments with your spouse. Because stone can be polished to a glimmer, using Carrara bathroom tiles on the walls reflects light off making the entire room look illuminated and fresh. And the plush white look doesn’t have to end with the walls; your own drop-in tab can also be decorated with Carrara marble tiles to complete the sophisticated hotel-style look. Marble is also perfect on floors especially when you want to do away with the rugs. Bathroom rugs tend to soak and look ugly on the floor or get dump and give off nauseating odors. Polished Carrara marble is all you do to make the floor neat and shiny. And because they don’t get dump, they maintain their temperatures and feel warm whenever you walk on them. Installing these tiles is a smooth job and stone can easily be cut using hand-held tile cutters. Laying the tiles yourself also gives you the freedom to try different patterns on the walls and floor. Moreover, you can also try out mosaic formats to achieve a different look but you have to consult someone if you are not sure about mosaics. Make sure you use non-slippery grout sealers so your Carrara bathroom design remains safe even when walking bare foot. Investing in Carrara marble tiles is a one-time opportunity that will last for as long as possible. There is little maintenance on the stone marble and it cleans up easily and doesn’t corrode either. If you are tired of your current bathroom look, invest in this option for a change. http://AllMarbleTiles.com

We had a ball turning an “original garage turned media room” into a dreamy bourbon lounge for our special clients. The extensive bourbon collection deserved all the best highlights including custom bistro shelving, ambient lighting and both beautiful and functional cabinetry. The vibe is moody and mysterious and the finishes are sophisticated. Cork metallic wallpaper, deep hued paint and the quartzite countertops, which immediately draw the eye with their beauty, all culminate to this amazingly relaxing space that make one want to put up their feet, light a cigar and enjoy a fine pour. The traditionally inspired furnishings keep the room cozy and comfortable, and ever so plush. The lounge and its adjacent bathroom were designed with masculine inspired finishes and speaks to the client’s love for music. The powder bath on the other side of the home is a jewel box of a room with a custom mural and vanity, dancing crystal lights and a pink lacquered ceiling. The two distinctly different spaces delivered exactly what each spouse was hoping for!

This room is the ultimate utility space. Formerly a den, this room was converted to provide a computer room with built in printer cabinet, two coat closets, a space for a bar with full size wine fridge and ice maker along with a prep island with stainless steel counters housing a sink and an additional oven.

Like many properties in Northern Michigan, the lake views and general setting were of major importance in laying out this cottage. The resulting views out of the home are wonderful. The cottage is designed as a family destination with room for three adult children, their spouses, and future grand kids. Multiple bedroom arrangements and future unfinished spaces increase the ability to entertain large family gatherings, while keeping things cozy for a couple on a quiet weekend. Playful colors inside and the yellow exterior brings a casual relaxed atmosphere to the home without fussy detailing. The home owner purchased garage sale furniture and painted it whimsical colors making it fit the casual character. This project was done on a very careful budget, for clients who were very involved in the construction process in order to take advantage of every value oriented option. At the end they were able to get a lot into the cottage for a rather restricted budget.

This is an example of a southwestern landscaping in San Diego.
