This custom kitchen remodel in Jarrettsville was thoughtfully designed to combine timeless style with highly functional storage solutions that make everyday living easier. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, decorative tilework, and warm hickory flooring that flows seamlessly throughout the space, adding natural warmth and character. A contrasting blue island creates a beautiful focal point while adding additional workspace, storage, and seating to the heart of the kitchen.
A hidden walk-in pantry cabinet is seamlessly integrated into the cabinetry wall, providing generous storage while maintaining a clean, built-in appearance. Adjacent to the range, a pull-out utensil holder keeps cooking tools organized and within easy reach. A hidden roll-out cabinet neatly stores a folding step stool for convenient access to upper cabinets. The kitchen also includes a lift-up appliance drawer designed to raise heavy countertop appliances, such as a KitchenAid mixer, to working height with ease, helping reduce lifting and countertop clutter. Around the corner, floating shelves framed by full-height decorative tile create an elegant display area that adds both storage and visual interest to the space. Thoughtful details like crown molding, layered finishes, and custom storage features make this kitchen both beautiful and exceptionally practical for daily life.

THE SETUP
Sam’s client had lived in her downtown townhome home for less than a year when she decided to remodel the spacious second level. This open area consisted of three sections: a TV and fireplace zone, a sparsely furnished dining area, and a dominant central kitchen. The kitchen featured a long back wall with three segmented sections and a massive island housing the cooktop. She found the kitchen’s functionality lacking and its presence overwhelming – it dominated the entire floor, regardless of where you stood.
Design objectives:
- Reconfigure key kitchen elements (sink, cooktop, oven) while minimizing the kitchen’s visual impact
- Optimize the kitchen’s back wall, eliminating existing dead space
- Create a purposeful, well-defined dining area
- Establish a distinct, comfortable living area
- Reuse existing appliances and flooring
- Maintain an overall modern design aesthetic
THE REMODEL
Design challenges to be solved:
- Redesign the island to reduce its overwhelming presence
- Create a comfortable, dedicated living room within the available space
- Establish a distinct, inviting dining area within spatial constraints
- Enhance kitchen functionality and style without dominating the entire floor
THE RENEWED SPACE
Design solutions:
- Sam created raised end caps for the island. This separated the kitchen from adjacent living and dining areas while focusing the kitchen’s functionality. The new sink location offers ample workspace, allowing the cook to interact with guests seated at the island. The redesigned island also provides additional storage.
- For the living area, Sam opted for a functional-yet-minimalist approach. Large-format tile creates a natural stone look for the fireplace and TV wall. The recessed TV and extended fireplace shelf maintain a sleek profile. - Artistic wallpaper adds depth and texture, while the intentional lack of extensive shelving keeps the space open and distinct.
- Sam transformed the dining area’s blank wall into a feature, adding a unique dry bar with counter space, open shelves, cabinet storage and a beverage fridge. - - - Wallpaper behind and above the bar contributes to the area’s personality. A mirror adds depth while pendant lights add style and visual interest.
Relocating the cooktop to the back wall facilitates hidden ventilation, reducing visual clutter. Sam balanced transitional and modern elements for a contemporary yet comfortable feel. The digital control panel on the convection cooktop maintains a sleek look, while the wall oven is now at an easy-to-use height. ----- Mirrored base cabinet fronts and a paneled fridge prevent cabinetry monotony.
The redesign has delighted Sam’s client, achieving her main goal of creating a more inviting and visually appealing space. Each section now has its own visual personality and functionality while harmonizing within a monochromatic palette. The entire floor offers wow-factor pop upon first glance, with each area maintaining its distinct character while contributing to a cohesive, modern aesthetic.

English – Project Description
This project involved the complete transformation of a small bedroom in Mexico City, redefining the space through integrated architectural millwork and a clear, cohesive design strategy.
Prior to the intervention, the room lacked sufficient storage and contained a mix of unrelated furniture pieces that created visual clutter and inefficient use of space. The design addressed these limitations by replacing all existing furniture with custom-built elements conceived as part of the architectural envelope.
Two full-height closets were designed to significantly increase storage capacity and establish visual order. One closet was executed during the initial phase, with the second planned for future implementation to further optimize the space. In addition, a continuous storage volume was integrated above the bed, incorporating concealed compartments and linear integrated lighting that provides soft, indirect illumination.
A wood headboard panel was introduced to bring warmth and material balance to the composition, contrasting with the clean, neutral millwork and reinforcing the architectural identity of the space.
By consolidating storage into integrated elements and eliminating fragmented furniture, the intervention freed usable floor area, improved circulation, and created a calm, organized, and visually coherent environment. The result is a contemporary bedroom that prioritizes spatial clarity, functional efficiency, and material harmony through precise architectural integration.
Español – Descripción del Proyecto
Este proyecto consistió en la transformación completa de una recámara pequeña en la Ciudad de México, redefiniendo el espacio mediante carpintería arquitectónica integrada y una estrategia de diseño clara y coherente.
Antes de la intervención, la recámara carecía de suficiente espacio de guardado y contenía una mezcla de muebles sin relación entre sí, lo que generaba desorden visual y un uso ineficiente del espacio. El diseño resolvió estas limitaciones reemplazando el mobiliario existente por elementos hechos a medida, concebidos como parte de la arquitectura.
Se diseñaron dos closets de altura completa para incrementar significativamente la capacidad de almacenamiento y establecer orden visual. Uno de los closets fue construido en la primera etapa, mientras que el segundo está previsto para una futura implementación, con el fin de optimizar aún más el espacio. Adicionalmente, se integró un volumen continuo de guardado sobre la cama, incorporando compartimentos ocultos e iluminación lineal integrada que proporciona luz indirecta y uniforme.
Se introdujo un panel de madera como cabecera para aportar calidez y balance material a la composición, contrastando con la carpintería neutra y reforzando la identidad arquitectónica del espacio.
Al consolidar el almacenamiento en elementos integrados y eliminar el mobiliario fragmentado, la intervención liberó superficie útil, mejoró la circulación y creó un ambiente tranquilo, ordenado y visualmente coherente. El resultado es una recámara contemporánea que prioriza la claridad espacial, la eficiencia funcional y la armonía material mediante una integración arquitectónica precisa.

The Setup:
After purchasing this home, the homeowners faced a unique opportunity to reimagine their kitchen and nearby spaces. Water damage from a burst pipe had left much of the home’s interior in need of repair, and while the existing kitchen was functional and in relatively good shape, it didn’t align with the family’s vision for their new home. The layout included a peninsula that wasn’t ideal, and there were some druthers with the nearby pantry.
Since the space needed to be rebuilt anyway, the homeowners saw this as a chance to create a kitchen that was both highly functional for their four young children and timeless in its design. The project also included a refresh of the adjacent message center and dining room — spaces that play key roles in the family’s daily life. The goal was to create a cohesive flow between these areas, balancing modern functionality with the craftsman-inspired character of the rest of the home.
Design Objectives:
- Replace the outdated peninsula with a large island to maximize counter space and create new seating options.
- Open up the space visually by removing soffits and rethinking the cabinetry layout.
Incorporate concealed refrigeration and freezer units to provide significant storage for the family while maintaining a streamlined aesthetic.
- Integrate black cabinetry into the design without making the space feel harsh or heavy.
- Ensure the lighting plan balances functional task lighting with ambient accent lighting.
- Avoid visual clutter in the cabinetry design while still giving a nod to the craftsman aesthetic.
- Incorporate a slab backsplash as a key design feature.
Design Challenges:
- The outdated peninsula left dead space in the kitchen and lacked sufficient seating for the family.
- The cooktop wall was cramped, with small cabinets flanking the hood, limited storage, and soffits that made the space feel closed-in.
- The family needed significant refrigeration space (two refrigerators and a freezer) but wanted to avoid a cluttered look with visible stainless steel appliances.
- Adding black cabinetry risked making the space feel too dark or heavy.
- The original lighting plan was insufficient, particularly over the dining table where a decorative fixture proved too dim.
- The family wanted shaker-style drawer fronts to match the home’s arts-and-crafts design but worried that too much shaker cabinetry might look overly busy.
- Prioritizing a slab backsplash in the wish list priority planning.
The Renewed Space
Design Solutions:
- A functional island: The peninsula was replaced with a large island that provides continuous countertop space for prepping and serving. The island also features seating for four people, creating a central hub for informal meals and activities.
- Streamlined cooktop wall: The soffits were removed, and the upper cabinets on the cooktop wall were eliminated to create a more open, streamlined design. A custom oversized hood became the focal point of the wall, with the blower unit offset inside it to align with the cooktop while maintaining exterior visual symmetry.
- Concealed refrigeration: Two column refrigerators and one freezer were integrated into the cabinetry, concealing them behind wood paneling that blends seamlessly with the overall design.
- Warm black cabinetry: The black cabinetry was crafted from hickory with a visible grain, softening its appearance and adding warmth. The grain detail gives the cabinetry a rich, textured look that avoids feeling stark or overpowering.
- Additional lighting: In the dining area, recessed can lights were added during an additional installation phase to supplement the gorgeous decorative fixture’s dim output. The new lighting plan creates a layered effect, combining functional task lighting with softer ambient lighting.
- Simplified cabinetry details: Slab drawer fronts were used on the upper drawers, while five-piece shaker fronts (with slightly less prominent rail and stile pieces) were reserved for the middle and lower drawers. This approach simplified the overall look while maintaining the craftsman-inspired aesthetic.
- Slab backsplash priority: The slab backsplash was prioritized by making thoughtful adjustments elsewhere, like opting not to extend cabinetry to the ceiling, which also helped visually prioritize the gorgeous slab backsplash. This decision also enhanced the kitchen’s furniture-like feel, aligning with the home’s craftsman character.
- This kitchen perfectly balances practicality with timeless style. By addressing the family’s functional needs — ample seating, smart storage, and effective lighting — while incorporating thoughtful design elements like warm black cabinetry and a striking slab backsplash, Alicia created a space that works beautifully for a busy household. The result is a cohesive, inviting kitchen that honors the home’s craftsman roots and will serve the family well for years to come.

This Leesburg kitchen was redesigned to bring more light, order, and ease to daily life for an active family. The entire layout was reworked around an expansive island that provides generous prep space, comfortable seating, and concealed storage—creating a natural hub for meals, homework, and entertaining.
Custom white cabinetry extends to the ceiling and incorporates hidden touch-latch storage, while panel-ready appliances blend seamlessly into the surrounding millwork to reduce visual clutter. White countertops and a softly textured tile backsplash keep the room bright, while the natural wood island, leather seating, brass hardware, and warm lighting add depth and character.
A sculptural range hood and professional-style range establish a strong focal point, complemented by a convenient wall-mounted pot filler. An open display area with warm wood shelves, brass rails, and library lighting provides a curated counterpoint to the extensive closed storage.
The finished kitchen feels refined yet relaxed—organized, welcoming, and designed so everyday essentials have a home and the countertops can remain calm and uncluttered.

In this home, even the most functional spaces are treated with the same design integrity as the main living areas. This utility room is a masterclass in minimalist elegance, anchored by sleek matte-finish cabinetry in a deep charcoal tone. The handleless design keeps the lines uninterrupted, creating a calm and streamlined aesthetic that makes the space feel larger and more refined.
A continuous countertop offers generous workspace for a range of household tasks, while the integrated sink ensures convenience without sacrificing style. The upper cabinets provide ample closed storage, allowing supplies and equipment to be tucked neatly out of sight. Under-cabinet lighting casts a soft, even glow over the work surface, making the space practical at any time of day.
The combination of the cabinetry's rich tone and the light oak flooring strikes a pleasing visual balance—warm yet modern. Every inch of this room is designed for efficiency, with thoughtful proportions that ensure it functions flawlessly for laundry, prep work, or overflow kitchen storage.
By elevating utility to an art form, this space proves that functionality and beauty aren't mutually exclusive—they can coexist in perfect harmony.

A sculptural range hood and professional-style range establish a strong focal point, complemented by a convenient wall-mounted pot filler. An open display area with warm wood shelves, brass rails, and library lighting provides a curated counterpoint to the extensive closed storage.
The finished kitchen feels refined yet relaxed—organized, welcoming, and designed so everyday essentials have a home and the countertops can remain calm and uncluttered.
