Just as the water flows from the oil-rubbed bronze faucets, pebbles trickle down the side of the shower like a river through the forest, cutting a clear path through the greens, providing life to its surroundings.

Techo-Bloc pavers were used to make this idyllic small patio sitting area next to the water feature. It’s a great spot to read, while sitting next to a trickling stream and the sounds of waterfalls. Note: The Techo-Bloc patio pavers were engineered in Canada, and they can well handle the freeze/thaw that occurs in our corner of the Northeast. www.deckandpatio.com

Designed for good energy... Our client was looking to create a space for retreat, tranquility, serenity. The existing space was somewhat funky without balance and made it difficult to feel good. Working within an existing courtyard space, we were limited. No matter, our goal was to remedy this outdoor courtyard/sunset balcony space. Our idea was to keep the space cozy but create destination spaces where you can lay down in the grass and look up at the stars. Walk bare foot atop the different hardscape surfaces, reclaimed brick patio & walkway, Silvermist flagstone, terra cotta tiles & tiffway bermuda. The idea of sitting in front of a magical rock island stone fireplace reading a book, sharing conversation with family & friends gives us warm feelings. Bubbling water features dance through out this space creating sounds of trickling brooks you could only hear if you were in a far far away place. The courtyard walls disappear, with plants and trees wrapping there arms around our client while relaxing under a 45 year old ascalone olive tree. A healing garden was the finished product, so much, its a space that you don't ever want to leave....

A love of gardens. A love of outdoor spaces. It's a pleasure for all when we come across clients who are passionate about their gardens A large iron gate opens to reveal a stone pool house. Stairs lead through terraced gardens to the main patio area. As you walk upwards the long narrrow pool comes into view... carved Indiana limestone coping... rubble stone borders... a delicate bronze girl stepping into the trickling shallows... The main sitting area is large and generous. Another upper area provides a spot for dining, enjoying the barbecue and viewing the luxurious deep garden beds.

This stunning landscape reveals Alderwood's exquisite design capabilities. The multi-level water feature trickles underneath a granite bridge into a wading pool. It is slightly offset to block views of nearby homes without impeding the beautiful lake view from the exterior sitting area. A gorgeous paver walkway is perfectly lined, inviting guests to see the granite rock feature up close.

Blackcap Raspberry. This is highly ornamental as well as productive. Unique flavor and the bonus of white stems in winter. Grows in shade or sun but certainly more productive in sun. These tasty tidbits are not that productive-that is you're not going to fill your freezer but with 5 or 6 plants you might have enough to make a batch of an excellent jam. You see, the ripe ones are the two black berries bottom right- they trickle fruit for 5 weeks.

Details matter in luxury pools, and this fountain that trickles through the walkway to the pool is a detail that adds ambiance and interest.

Kitchen trends may come and go, but some classic choices are forever. Take antique white kitchen cabinets for instance.

White kitchen cabinets have ruled the mainstream decor for several years, and continue to do so. They not only blend seamlessly with just about any kitchen space but dramatically uplifts the ambiance with the furniture and accessories.

Antique white kitchen cabinets represent a restricted yet unique color palette. In other words, it can be considered a neutral binding color point for all the other elements like countertops, floorings, and fixtures. Besides, it serves as a great backdrop for any shades that one might pick for a semi-classic or completely modern kitchen.

Contrary to what many would like to believe, antique white kitchen cabinets are never boring, especially, if you know your way of working around it. In fact, quite the reverse, as white shaker cabinets make for a perfect pair to inclusions like marble countertops and interlocked wooden tiles.

No matter what, white kitchen cabinets bring forth the very best of depth and dimension in equal measure. If you have been planning to design your culinary space with antique white kitchen cabinets, this guide can be your first cue.

Here’s a look at 10 master tips to design a kitchen using white cabinets.

Embracing the Rustic Charm

Do you fancy a rustic styled kitchen space?

White kitchen cabinets can be paired alongside open shelves that are a picturesque setting, reminiscent of the French flea market. To add essence to the scene, opt for brick flooring connecting the space to an adjoining terrace looking over a sea or any water body.

The Eternal Black Accent

Many homeowners envision a cozy kitchen space to unwind themselves, cooking their favorite meal.

Antique white kitchen cabinets when matched with black accents readily impart a warm and inviting aura to the whole space. To spice up things, you might introduce a steel countertop and nickel made cookware.

The Old-World Bliss

Antique white cabinets are easily differentiated from others in the row owing to its classical trims and muted scrolls. When looking to create an old-world kitchen, white cabinets work fine with brass detailing on doorknobs and cabinet handles. Upholstered stools for counters, deviated barrage drawers, heavy kitchen sinks, mosaic tiles, and grey backsplashes can be other inclusions.

The Scullery Styled Kitchen

Antique white kitchen cabinets are rather an accessory of convenience for a culinary space, that also doubles up as a scullery.

Typically, such a structure is often deprived of broad daylight. Thus, it becomes more important to get the lighting done right. Start with overhead lamps or use LED light strips right under the cabinet or across the shelves overhead. With antique white kitchen cabinets, the setting of a scullery is per-designed to excel by all means. You might as well choose to include brass details, paired alongside the soapstone counters, further complemented by suspended shelves.

For the Country Hearted

Birdcage chairs placed around a pine casted table, with pendant lamps hanging above does throw in some serious country vibes. Tell you what, antique white kitchen cabinets
are seemingly the first choice for any country-inspired kitchen space. Add a few open shelves and a pair of garlands for the kitchen windows, and you are good to go!

Character Building

When it comes to designing a living space, character-building contrasts are a good way to add uncanny charm and appeal.

White shaker cabinets are a perfect choice to create a lovely nautical atmosphere paired with the right set of elements; furniture and fixtures.

Start by pairing your white cabinets with a simple toned down hemlock kitchen island. To add a dash of an urban feel, introduce counter stools in lilac.

If your budget prevails, you might as well take your designing game up a notch with a banquette type seating arrangement, using a combination of leather and acrylic fabric.

Picking Your Granite

Picking on the granite style for your antique white kitchen cabinets
can be a tad tricky.

Always aim to work with granite and glaze that are of the same color. Look for variation across granite offerings to add a little bit of jazz to your otherwise worldly setting.

While buying from the store, always ask for a sample to take back home and view it under varying light conditions.

Of Balance and Symmetry

If you have a U-shaped kitchen, it is necessary to pay close attention to details.

To avoid a mismatch, you will need to keep it toned down to one theme which would have the antique white cabinets in between and trickle-down further to the stovetops, plate trails, and open shelves.

Tile Floorings in Muted Colors

When designing a kitchen space with white cabinets, glass displays are usually a preferred choice. For such a setting, it is recommended that you stick to using flooring tiles in light colors. Beige and light grey are quite a popular choice.

Dine-in Style

Antique white kitchen cabinets can be used to bring the very best out of a dine-in style kitchen. Start by pairing the cabinets with a refectory table, preferably one that mimics the 19th-century furniture style.

Throw in a couple of bamboo-casted chairs with plank floorings to render an easy-going, modern, and functional vibe.

Wrap up

Hands down, antique white kitchen cabinets are the perfect pick for just about any style kitchen. Now that you have great insight into designing your culinary space, it's time to put things into action!
