Before:The butler's pantry struggled with both form and function. Limited storage forced appliances and essentials to spill onto countertops, creating clutter and making the space feel cramped. The brown shaker-style cabinets, paired with outdated brassy hardware, lacked character and offered little in the way of organization or capacity. The homeowners dreamed of a space that was not only visually appealing but also highly functional, with enough storage to accommodate their growing needs. However, the simplistic design of the existing cabinetry fell short, leaving them frustrated with its inefficiency.

Custom Dual-Head Tile Shower Conversion
We transformed this outdated one-piece fiberglass shower into a fully custom tiled retreat. This spa-style walk-in shower features dual shower heads with matching matte black fixtures — perfect for couples or anyone who wants a true side-by-side shower experience. Clean white subway tile with dark contrasting grout lines the walls, creating a timeless, high-end look, while a hexagon marble mosaic floor adds texture and visual interest underfoot. A built-in recessed niche keeps shampoo and soap organized without cluttering the space, and corner shelves on each side add extra storage right where you need it. Finished with a sleek black square drain that ties the whole space together.

This kitchen features a large, stained wood island with ample storage and seating. The Meridian Quartzite is featured on the island, perimeter and as the backsplash, creating a serene, continuous surface of natural beauty and elegance. Two modern pendants hang above the island and frame the beautiful, custom curved vent hood with cabinets that go all the way up to the ceiling. This kitchen also features glass display cabinets, 2 appliance garage's on either side to conceal any unwanted clutter, 2 lazy susan corner cabinets, 2 spice rack and utensil pull outs, and a workstation sink looking out at the beautiful Texas hill country.

The objective was to create a warm neutral space to later customize to a specific colour palate/preference of the end user for this new construction home being built to sell. A high-end contemporary feel was requested to attract buyers in the area. An impressive kitchen that exuded high class and made an impact on guests as they entered the home, without being overbearing. The space offers an appealing open floorplan conducive to entertaining with indoor-outdoor flow.
Due to the spec nature of this house, the home had to remain appealing to the builder, while keeping a broad audience of potential buyers in mind. The challenge lay in creating a unique look, with visually interesting materials and finishes, while not being so unique that potential owners couldn’t envision making it their own. The focus on key elements elevates the look, while other features blend and offer support to these striking components. As the home was built for sale, profitability was important; materials were sourced at best value, while retaining high-end appeal. Adaptations to the home’s original design plan improve flow and usability within the kitchen-greatroom. The client desired a rich dark finish. The chosen colours tie the kitchen to the rest of the home (creating unity as combination, colours and materials, is repeated throughout).
