Designed for a 1930s Portland, OR home, this kitchen remodel aims for a clean, timeless sensibility without sacrificing the space to generic modernism. Cherry cabinets, Ice Stone countertops and Heath tile add texture and variation in an otherwise sleek, pared down design. A custom built-in bench works well for eat-in breakfasts. Period reproduction lighting, Deco pulls, and a custom formica table root the kitchen to the origins of the home. All photos by Matt Niebuhr. www.mattniebuhr.com

• A busy family wanted to rejuvenate their entire first floor. As their family was growing, their spaces were getting more cramped and finding comfortable, usable space was no easy task. The goal of their remodel was to create a warm and inviting kitchen and family room, great room-like space that worked with the rest of the home’s floor plan. The focal point of the new kitchen is a large center island around which the family can gather to prepare meals. Exotic granite countertops and furniture quality light-colored cabinets provide a warm, inviting feel. Commercial-grade stainless steel appliances make this gourmet kitchen a great place to prepare large meals. A wide plank hardwood floor continues from the kitchen to the family room and beyond, tying the spaces together. The focal point of the family room is a beautiful stone fireplace hearth surrounded by built-in bookcases. Stunning craftsmanship created this beautiful wall of cabinetry which houses the home’s entertainment system. French doors lead out to the home’s deck and also let a lot of natural light into the space. From its beautiful, functional kitchen to its elegant, comfortable family room, this renovation achieved the homeowners’ goals. Now the entire family has a great space to gather and spend quality time.

A kitchen remodel for a Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery client in Rockville, MD. Cabinet design provided by Jan Zhuge, Cabinet Designer for Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery.

This luxury en-suite bathroom project was a complete conversion and transformation of an existing spare bedroom into a luxurious bathroom space in Soulbury, Buckinghamshire. The idea was to create an open plan, free flowing space including walk-through shower, free standing bath and twin sinks. The bathroom also had to be in keeping with the existing bedroom which was recently decorated and with the overall theme of the house which is decorated primarily in shades of grey with rich timber elements. The client also loved the look of the bookmatched marble shower enclosure in our Bierton show room but was concerned with the up keep of the stone. We were able to achieve everything the customer was looking for by using our own bespoke cabinetry combined with innovative porcelain marble effect tiles which could be bookmatched on the back wall. The floor tiles are also in the same pattern but are anti-slip which allows the floor to run seamlessly into the shower area. The free standing bath, originally white, was hand-painted by our expert painter to mimic copper and pick up the colours of the walnut bath wall which also incorporates a thermostatic control and shower outlet for the bath. The overall result is a dramatic, light, and open space. Perfect for spending hours relaxing in the bath or a refreshing shower under the waterfall shower head.
