To keep things from feeling too “stuffy” we incorporated a variety of contemporary touches throughout the room such as a record player, the woven shade over the light fixture, and a medicine cabinet filled with pieces picked up via travels. We also choose to flank one of the windows with two large, black and white portraits of her boys. NOTE: not all dining rooms have to be designed alike! Since the Hurts usually eat in the kitchen or dining room, we decided to treat the “dining room” as more of a library/bar.

This project won in the 2013 Builders Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh Housing Excellence Award for Best Urban Renewal Renovation Project. The glass bowl was made in the glass studio owned by the owner which is adjacent to the residence. The mirror is a repurposed window. The door is repurposed from a boarding house. George Mendel

The kitchen sink is a star player in this kitchen remodel. The homeowners chose the Kohler Stages to meet both their cooking needs and make a great design impact. This under mount single bowl sink is a whopping 45” wide and comes with a stepped side platform for drying dishes. An array of accessories come with it, including food prep bowls, trays, and cutting boards, all of which fit the opening. It makes use of a usually wasted counter area and keeps food juices confined to the sink. The engineered sound-absorption system significantly reduces disposal and dishwashing noise.

SMART CONSOLE Yomei The SMART console table is the outstanding new product introduced by Yomei at the imm cologne 2012. From the outside it exhibits the typically straight-lined and delicate design that one expects from Yomei. The surprise and the real highlight of this latest addition to the collection is hidden inside the console. A spacious drawer with plenty of storage room and a variable inner drawer open to reveal the perfect storage system. As an optional extra, a triple power socket can be mounted in the drawer and underneath the console. You can stow your mobile phone, iPad or MP3 player in the velvet-lined drawer and recharge it simultaneously, the technology being invisible. Even equipment placed on top of the console can be ‘powered up’. The SMART makes organising cables easy thanks to variably positionable magnets. The cables run underneath the console or through the metal frame, skilfully kept out of sight. Three sizes (100, 120 and 140 cm / 39" , 47" and 55"), glossy chrome frame, 28 different surface and body colours as well make this sideboard a ‘must have’ for hallways, living areas and home offi ces.

The grey trend has evolved in the last twelve months. Nowadays browns, beige and a touch of grey are in demand. Greige is the new buzzword. Heavier hand scraped or contoured products, the rage that started around 2005 has taken a back seat in most areas, while a softer wire brushed "ceruse effect" seen mostly on White Oak has been remarkably strong showing no effects of becoming “dated” like the others mentioned. Ceruse Color Possibilities There are numerous color combinations to the "cerused" process with the most popular being white or off white. This design trend in hardwood flooring can have darker gray white oak with a mild ceruse off white effect. There are limitless possibilities in either a prefinished hardwood floor or with what we can create for you in a custom on-site finished hardwood floor. If something suits your fancy, contact us and we can work on creating just the look and sense of style you are looking for.
