Reclaimed wormy chestnut steals the show in this kitchen remodel. The hand-planed, hand-pegged cabinetry and pantry door provide a warm, authentic backdrop. Our clients, a retired couple who enjoy hosting family gatherings with their grandchildren, longed for a space that would welcome a crowd. They desired an open plan to incorporate their bright sunroom that serves as their family room. The light from the sun room would change the existing dark kitchen dramatically. It was important to the couple that the kitchen work zones be tucked away for uninterrupted meal prep and clean up. Their wish list also included the addition of a wet bar area for more storage, home office needs, and entertaining. The white, transitional wet bar cabinetry compliments the chocolate brown chestnut beautifully. The homeowners have a flair for color and were inspired by pieces they collected in their travels leading them to choose red as an accent color along with Tuscan style seating for finishing touches.

Elegant Cooking Zone with Statement Stone Range Hood and Quartz Detailing This impeccably designed cooking area is a masterclass in modern elegance and functionality. The star of the space is the dramatic, stone-wrapped custom range hood — a bold focal point that draws the eye while seamlessly integrating with the kitchen's warm wood cabinetry. The unique organic veining of the stone brings texture and movement to the space, making it feel both grounded and luxurious. Beneath the hood, a sleek pot filler adds a high-end chef’s touch, making cooking effortless and efficient. A continuous quartz backsplash and countertops offer a clean, polished surface that is easy to maintain, while adding a soft contrast to the darker tones of the cabinetry. Contemporary matte hardware and minimalist cabinet fronts maintain a streamlined aesthetic, offering generous storage without visual clutter. Subtle, thoughtful design choices—like the matching quartz shelf edge and integrated cabinetry—tie the space together for a cohesive, high-end look. Perfect for gourmet meals or casual dinners, this kitchen’s cooking zone is as stunning as it is practical — embodying modern design at its finest.

Austin's custom home builder John Siemering presents this contemporary twist on the traditional Texas Farmhouse located in Dripping Springs. This expansive home features a mixed exterior design showcasing limestone paired together with board and batten cedar siding, Douglas fir columns and a metal and concrete tile roof. The custom pine double front door opens into the breathtaking great room featuring a vaulted ceiling with decorative fir trusses, white shiplap walls and dark wood floors. The large limestone fireplace is the focal point of this impressive space. The use of custom fir ceiling/header beams and unique wood doors continues throughout nearly every room in the home to enhance the contemporary rustic farmhouse feel. The stunning open kitchen steals the show with an artisan hammered metal vent hood juxtaposed next to a full subway tile backsplash. The kitchen also features a wood paneled ceiling, marble countertops, white cabinetry, a Lacanche range and a double refrigerator enclosed behind custom wood panels. The luxurious master bedroom and bathroom exude traditional upscale style with large custom ceiling beams to tie into the farmhouse theme. His and her white vanities, a free standing tub, large walk in shower and plenty of marble tile throughout turn the master bathroom into a high end spa-like retreat. An additional game room space contains a full wet bar with granite countertop, shiplap walls, custom pastel sliding barn doors and french exterior doors leading to the rear of the home. The rear courtyard is highlighted with an outdoor kitchen, bar and grill area overlooking the pool. The outdoor dining and living space has multiple zones thanks to a large outdoor see through fireplace with seating on either side. Last but not least, this home also comes with a large free standing 3 car garage structure with half of an indoor basketball court on the upper level.

The client didn't like bumping into the counter behind her every time she opened the refrigerator and not being able to see beyond the wall cabinets. Careful placement of appliances and revised zoning of tasks resulted in this open plan by Deborah Dyste. The laundry closet at the end of the long space was moved upstairs; conveniently located near the bedrooms That also allowed space for a wet bar w/ an additional prep counter and storage pantries.

Reverse ogee arch leading into the kitchen area mirrors the same style found across the main area at the fireplace and at the cook top area. The reverse ogee is often found in Spanish style architecture and therefore is seen in several areas throughout this project.
