This residence boasts many amazing features, but one that stands out in specific is the dual sided fireplace clad in Eldorado Stone’s Black River Stacked Stone. Adding stone to the fireplace automatically creates a dramatic focal point and compliments the interior decor by mixing natural and artificial elements, contrasting colors, as well as incorporating a variety of textures. By weaving in stone as architectural accents throughout the the home, the interior and the exterior seamlessly flow into one another and the project as a whole becomes an architectural masterpiece.

Bathroom - mediterranean bathroom idea in New York with an undermount sink, raised-panel cabinets, white cabinets and beige walls

The kitchen at Reclaimed Wonder is a study in modern rustic charm, anchored by a striking black backsplash that brings depth and contrast to the space. Warm reclaimed wood, indigenous stone, and thoughtfully layered finishes create a kitchen that feels both artful and inviting—designed as much for beauty as for gathering. Created by the talented architects at Platt Architecture, this custom home is located within the private Wade Hampton Golf Club community in Cashiers, North Carolina. Every detail of the home was carefully considered, from the reclaimed beams and wall planks to the warm amber lighting that enhances the natural palette. Set against the serene beauty of the mountains, Reclaimed Wonder offers a refined retreat that feels deeply connected to its surroundings. J,Weiland

The cost of kitchen cabinets is a major consideration when designing a new kitchen. There are so many things that need to be evaluated including the materials, the color and finish. What most kitchen designers don't mention are all of the issues relating to the fit and use of your new cabinets. At Performance Kitchens & Home, our roots come from fine craftspeople like George Nakashima and George Brauntrager, who pioneered many of the techniques that we integrate into our kitchen cabinets. We believe that every kitchen deserves cabinets that are beautiful, well-built, functional and that are designed to stand up to the test of time. We hope that some of these finely crafted kitchen cabinets will spark some ideas for you!

This is an organic Lime Wash done with a true lime wash product as opposed to a brick mortar or concrete that is often seen on new houses. This product can be applied as a solid coating making the surface completely white, or can be applied and "washed off" in many artistic ways, as seen here. If you hate your brick or just want something unique this is a great option! Photo credit: Jeff Murrey

We used similar techniques as the Greene brothers to create these entryway stained glass panels. As you can see in this close up image, through a combination of copper foiling and glass layering, we were able to create a shimmering, iridescent appearance for this design. A combination of earth tones were selected for the colors of the glass. The pattern was made to mock the appearance of the famous stained glass window in the previously mentioned Gamble House. The sort of “mock art” stained glass window serves as a striking focal point for the entryway of this Kansas City home. Greene & Greene style stained glass is perfect for lovers of nature, art, or both. The vibrant green and copper tones of these windows can bring an incredible amount of warmth and color to your home’s interior. Kansas City Stained Glass can create beautiful Greene & Greene inspired stained glass installations. Our artists are very skilled in the techniques used for creating these types of designs. If you’re a fan of Greene & Greene architecture and are interesting in getting a stained glass panel for your Kansas City home that is inspired by or looks similar to their work, please contact our office. We’d love to work with you on creating a unique work of art for your home.
