In the kitchen, new Shaker style cabinets in a soft gray finish are complemented by quartz countertops with subtle Calacatta Gold veining. We increased functionality by using full overlay cabinets with soft-close doors and full-extension drawers; we added useful accessories such as roll-outs, tray dividers and a trash/recycling center. The new undermount stainless steel sink is a stylish upgrade from the old enameled drop-in sink and the full height textured subway tile is a huge improvement over the old four inch high laminate backsplash. The kitchen pantry received new shelving and the adjacent laundry/utility room even got a facelift with luxury vinyl tile flooring and new paint.

Here's a complete bathroom remodel done for a family in Long Beach. Though this bathroom may look like a simple small and compact bathroom, this room holds a lot of great features. The main attraction of this bathroom comes from the open shower that is accompanied by a accented black tile wall. This shower is also featured with a full length niche for shower accessories and a bench for extra support. The bathroom is enhanced more by the golden features that come from the knobs and faucet. This bathroom is the perfect master bathroom extension.

This completely custom cocktail pool has plenty of space to lounge, including the glass tiled baja step and pool-length benches. The porcelain plank tile, Radiant Fusion-Regal Blue interior finish, and rain sheer all work together to make the space an absolute oasis.

Wall Control's 2in Handle Hanger (PN: 10-HH-3050) is a great pegboard accessory for hanging Mag Flashlights and anything else that has a large head and a smaller handle.

Anyone would fall in LOVE with this very ‘Hamptons-esque’ home, remodelled by Smith & Sons Hornsby (NSW). Spacious, gracious and packed with modern amenities, this elegant abode is pure craftsmanship – every detail perfectly complementing the next. An immaculate representation of the client’s taste and lifestyle, this home’s design is ageless and classic; a fusion of sophisticated city-style amenities and blissed-out beach country. Utilising a neutral palette while including luxurious textures and high-end fixtures and fittings, truly makes this home an interior design dream. While the bathrooms feature a coast-contemporary feel, the bedrooms and entryway boast something a little more European in décor and design. This neat blend of styles gives this family home that true ‘Hampton’s living’ feel with eclectic, yet light and airy spaces.

Further expanding the popular line of Valor linear gas fireplaces, we are pleased to introduce the L3 Series. At 66 ¼ inches the L3 is noticeably wider than the L2, and features the popular Decorative Murano Glass & Driftwood fuel bed options. Due to its highly efficient design the L3 utilizes standard 6 ⅝" venting systems which make the L3 installation friendly. The L3 is also ready to take the new HeatShift System™, we recommend this option especially for installations where cooler walls immediately above the fireplace are desirable. A highly effective radiant and convective heater, the L3 combines luxury design with impressive zone heating.

The design of this home drew upon historical styles, preserving the essentials of the original movement while updating these elements with clean lines and modern materials. Peers Homestead drew upon the American Farmhouse. The architectural design was based on several factors: orientation with views and connection to seasonal water elements, glass cubes, simplistic form and material palette, and steel accents with structure and cladding. To capture views, the floor to ceiling windows in the great room bring in the natural environment into the home and were oriented to face the Spanish Peaks. The great room’s simple gable roof and square room shape, accompanied by the large glass walls and a high ceiling, create an impressive glass cube effect. Following a contemporary trend for windows, thin-frame, aluminum clad windows were utilized for the high performance qualities as well as the aesthetic appeal. (Photos by Whitney Kamman)
