Introducing our most recent kitchen renovation in Slingerlands! Our Project Manager, Steve Shanholtz, and Designer, Sarah McDonald, worked hand in hand with our crew to transform this client’s space into a true masterpiece.

This project is a case study of a client living in Warsaw, Poland. The client's home is a 95 square meter, three-bedroom apartment. With a preference for a serene, minimalist aesthetic, the overall style of the home embraces the Scandinavian Wabi-Sabi concept. Black, white, and gray serve as the primary color palette, with touches of brown to add warmth. The furniture is kept minimal, emphasizing an open and spacious visual effect. The client desired lighting fixtures that would complement the black, white, and gray color scheme while leaning towards a rustic countryside style, steering clear of modern fixtures made of materials like metal, glass, or crystal. It was for this reason that the client reached out to us, seeking lighting options that would align with her preference for a more natural look. Ultimately, we selected this handwoven rattan pendant light in a rustic, country-inspired design. Upon receiving the product, the client expressed utmost satisfaction, stating that the chosen light fixture perfectly met her needs. We are sharing this case study with you, hoping to provide inspiration and ideas for your own home decor. Let this serve as a testament to how carefully selected lighting can effortlessly blend with your desired style, creating a harmonious and satisfying ambiance.

In the heart of Sorena's well-appointed home, the transformation of a powder room into a delightful blend of style and luxury has taken place. This fresh and inviting space combines modern tastes with classic art deco influences, creating an environment that's both comforting and elegant. High-end white porcelain fixtures, coordinated with appealing brass metals, offer a feeling of welcoming sophistication. The walls, dressed in tones of floral green, black, and tan, work perfectly with the bold green zigzag tile pattern. The contrasting black and white floral penny tile floor adds a lively touch to the room. And the ceiling, finished in glossy dark green paint, ties everything together, emphasizing the recurring green theme. Sorena now has a place that's not just a bathroom, but a refreshing retreat to enjoy and relax in. ​ Step into Sorena's powder room, and you'll find yourself in an artfully designed space where every element has been thoughtfully chosen. Brass accents create a unifying theme, while the quality porcelain sink and fixtures invite admiration and use. A well-placed mirror framed in brass extends the room visually, reflecting the rich patterns that make this space unique. Soft light from a frosted window accentuates the polished surfaces and highlights the harmonious blend of green shades throughout the room. More than just a functional space, Sorena's powder room offers a personal touch of luxury and style, turning everyday routines into something a little more special. It's a testament to what can be achieved when classic design meets contemporary flair, and it's a space where every visit feels like a treat. ​ The transformation of Sorena's home doesn't end with the powder room. If you've enjoyed taking a look at this space, you might also be interested in the kitchen renovation that's part of the same project. Designed with care and practicality, the kitchen showcases some great ideas that could be just what you're looking for.

Sorena's home is a beautiful reflection of her personality, adorned in her vibrant paintings and personal touches that breathed life into every room. When she decided to renovate her kitchen, I had the honor of designing it for her as well as form a connection that I still cherish to this day. Upon my most recent visit to her home to take photos, she greeted me with fresh coffee and pastries, a testament to the warmth of her character. ​ The renovation journey with Sorena was one filled with creativity and collaboration. As the designer, I took charge of curating the finish and lighting selections, while also assisting in the layout of all the cabinetry. One significant transformation was the decision to replace the existing tile with brand new hardwood floors. This change added a natural warmth to the room, complementing the elegance of other elements and providing a graceful continuity with the rest of her home. The kitchen transformed into a culinary masterpiece, blending elegance with functionality. ​ The focal points of the space are the La Cornue Stove imported from France and its coordinating custom range hood. Sorena insisted on these for her dream kitchen, and they indeed became the statement pieces that brought the design together. We complemented these with countertops of honed finish quartzite from Italy, which we both fell in love with as soon as we saw it. Its subtle sheen and luxurious feel added an exquisite touch to the space. ​ No detail was too small in Sorena's kitchen, and every corner had a story. The dreamy breakfast nook, overlooking her koi pond garden, was carefully crafted with a built-in bench adorned with green fabric cushions, providing a cozy spot for morning reflections or intimate conversations. ​ The project, located in West Chester, PA, was a success not only in the transformation of the space but also in creating her dream kitchen. It became an extension of her artistic flair, a place where she could not only host, but express herself. The inclusion of the hardwood floors and updated breakfast nook was a touch that truly finalized the space, giving it a warmth and continuity that resonated with her personality. It was a privilege to help her achieve her vision, and the gratitude in her eyes as she served coffee in her new kitchen is a memory I will always hold dear. Her kitchen wasn't merely a renovation; it was a manifestation of her dreams, executed with love, care, and a shared passion for beauty and design.
