Siri Blanchette/Blind Dog Photo Associates This living room designed by Marcye Philbrook is textural, soothing, comfortable and contemporary. The cable rail "holding" up the shelves, concrete mantel in a sandy tone, floating shelves in a very textural laminate, modern fireplace with driftwood inside as well as the warm beiges and cool grays playing off of each other remind one of the natural Maine shore.

Contemporary design needn’t be cold and stark; this kitchen is a study in blending colors, patterns, and finishes to dazzle at every turn. Flaunting the convention of pairing gloss white with matte wood, this does just the opposite: mixing matte white paint with high-gloss walnut-look laminate. But why stop there when you can introduce a softly pearlized chocolate textured laminate for even more interest? The upper section of the coffee area combines dark textured uppers with a gloss horizontal laminate backsplash. It pops against surrounding white bases, paneled refrigeration columns, and oven cabinet. While the waterfall island also features the textured laminate, the entire range/sink wall is white to accentuate the dark materials. A tall pantry is gloss wood laminate (here oriented vertically) that continues in a flyover to the oven cabinet. Variety is even found in the hardware: wall cabinets have touch latches; white bases have brushed nickel edge pulls; and the textured laminate bases have bronze integrated channel pulls. The butler’s pantry includes a paneled wine refrigerator and corner sink. Its glass doors boast bronze metal frames with interiors of horizontal gloss laminate. Unifying the elements is honed “Calacatta Lincoln” marble for all the countertops and slab backsplashes.

A combination of quarter sawn white oak material with kerf cuts creates harmony between the cabinets and the warm, modern architecture of the home. We mirrored the waterfall of the island to the base cabinets on the range wall. This project was unique because the client wanted the same kitchen layout as their previous home but updated with modern lines to fit the architecture. Floating shelves were swapped out for an open tile wall, and we added a double access countertwall cabinet to the right of the range for additional storage. This cabinet has hidden front access storage using an intentionally placed kerf cut and modern handleless design. The kerf cut material at the knee space of the island is extended to the sides, emphasizing a sense of depth. The palette is neutral with warm woods, dark stain, light surfaces, and the pearlescent tone of the backsplash; giving the client’s art collection a beautiful neutral backdrop to be celebrated. For the laundry we chose a micro shaker style cabinet door for a clean, transitional design. A folding surface over the washer and dryer as well as an intentional space for a dog bed create a space as functional as it is lovely. The color of the wall picks up on the tones of the beautiful marble tile floor and an art wall finishes out the space. In the master bath warm taupe tones of the wall tile play off the warm tones of the textured laminate cabinets. A tiled base supports the vanity creating a floating feel while also providing accessibility as well as ease of cleaning. An entry coat closet designed to feel like a furniture piece in the entry flows harmoniously with the warm taupe finishes of the brick on the exterior of the home. We also brought the kerf cut of the kitchen in and used a modern handleless design. The mudroom provides storage for coats with clothing rods as well as open cubbies for a quick and easy space to drop shoes. Warm taupe was brought in from the entry and paired with the micro shaker of the laundry. In the guest bath we combined the kerf cut of the kitchen and entry in a stained maple to play off the tones of the shower tile and dynamic Patagonia granite countertops.
