This client had just moved into this home. This kitchen has a good working triangle, but still had all of the original builders basic materials. The client decided that at the present time a full renovation was not in the budget. The ceramic flooring and white cabinets were in good shape and neutral tones. So the money was put towards black granite counter tops, marble back splash, all new lighting, stove, wall colour, window treatments, and accessories. This kitchen is now updated with beautiful natural finishes. Photo taken by: Personal Touch Interiors

This kitchen showcases a warm modern contemporary design with a clean, functional layout and elevated finishes. A large waterfall island serves as the focal point, combining prep space with casual seating - reflecting the growing trend of multi-functional kitchen hubs. The space blends natural wood cabinetry with matte dark cabinets, creating a sophisticated two-tone contrast that feels both modern and inviting. Paired with quartz countertops and backsplash, the design highlights the current shift toward natural materials and subtle veining for a timeless, high-end look.

Purpose-built full-height appliance housing column forming a neat utility wall. Tall recess niche accommodates large upright LG refrigerator seamlessly capped with overhead cabinet storage, adjacent vertical cavity stacked with built-in electric oven between upper and lower cabinet sections. Continuous overhead cabinetry extends toward cooking bench area, unified matte dark handleless paneling eliminates visual clutter, all cabinet joinery built with coastal grade anti-corrosion materials to resist seaside salt air degradation across years of use in this Australian oceanfront property.

This residential compound includes a primary residence, guesthouse, barn, dining pavilion and entry gate. The distinctive form of the architecture is derived from the Teton Range extending to the south. To respond to this phenomenon, the ridge of the gable roof is angled to allow the north wall to gently rise toward the west, mimicking the line of the mountains. The south wall naturally rises to the east capturing the preferred morning light. The materials - wood, rusted steel, copper panels, and stone - form a monochromatic palette to reinforce the sculptural energy of each building. A.I.A.

Viewed from the media room, this corridor highlights the home’s architectural spine. A full-height pocket door slides seamlessly into the wall, allowing the media space to open fully to the adjacent entertaining areas or close for privacy. The continuous board-formed concrete wall reinforces the material language established at the entry and extends toward the mudroom and foyer beyond. Clean lines, concealed detailing, and uninterrupted circulation create a refined balance between openness and retreat.

Homeowners in Rhinebeck desired an elevated patio offering views of a nearby valley and accessibility. A stone staircase designed to become a natural part of the hillside meanders upward toward the patio and connects to an existing pool. Plantings add to the natural feel and help the patio and stairway blend with the surroundings.

Download our free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW This master bath remodel is the cat's meow for more than one reason! The materials in the room are soothing and give a nice vintage vibe in keeping with the rest of the home. We completed a kitchen remodel for this client a few years’ ago and were delighted when she contacted us for help with her master bath! The bathroom was fine but was lacking in interesting design elements, and the shower was very small. We started by eliminating the shower curb which allowed us to enlarge the footprint of the shower all the way to the edge of the bathtub, creating a modified wet room. The shower is pitched toward a linear drain so the water stays in the shower. A glass divider allows for the light from the window to expand into the room, while a freestanding tub adds a spa like feel. The radiator was removed and both heated flooring and a towel warmer were added to provide heat. Since the unit is on the top floor in a multi-unit building it shares some of the heat from the floors below, so this was a great solution for the space. The custom vanity includes a spot for storing styling tools and a new built in linen cabinet provides plenty of the storage. The doors at the top of the linen cabinet open to stow away towels and other personal care products, and are lighted to ensure everything is easy to find. The doors below are false doors that disguise a hidden storage area. The hidden storage area features a custom litterbox pull out for the homeowner’s cat! Her kitty enters through the cutout, and the pull out drawer allows for easy clean ups. The materials in the room – white and gray marble, charcoal blue cabinetry and gold accents – have a vintage vibe in keeping with the rest of the home. Polished nickel fixtures and hardware add sparkle, while colorful artwork adds some life to the space.
