A bachelor with an ambitious project, and plans to start a family, called on me to convert a rundown apartment building into his dream home. This stunning city dwelling is the result of my love for New York townhomes, with European influences and modern flair.

Wood Stone Granite is one of the single most unique and beautiful granite colors available on the market. Rich, clearly defined veins of caramel, amber, oak, and chocolate brown course through a sandy tan background. It has the appearance of wood rings, and so the stone is called Wood Stone Granite (or Stone Wood Granite) or Yellow Wood Granite.

The open layout of this Naperville, IL home makes this kitchen the focal point. Working with Kemper Choice cabinets, the client chose a traditional style in a glazed white painted maple. The soft glaze accent on the cabinetry coordinates beautifully with the tile backsplash and Tropical Brown granite countertops, which are all showcased on the dark hardwood floors. Curved cabinets soften the lines of the island, a perfect prep and dining area. A pantry cabinet tucked in a corner provides additional storage, as does the counter-top garage to keep small appliances out of sight. Decorative details are found in the traditional style wood hood, the decorative glass door, and the lovely crown and base moldings.

Here is a recently completed John Kraemer & Sons kitchen renovation in Plymouth, MN. Architect: Murphy & Co. Design Photography: Landmark Photography

Transitional Design Condo Update in San Francisco, California Pacific Heights Neighborhood The owners of this condo in Pacific Heights wanted to update their 60’s style kitchen and bathrooms yet strike a balance between ultra modern and conservative. To achieve this, we combined clean modern lines and contemporary fittings with warm natural stone and rich woods. In the kitchen, a distinctive effect is achieved by using quarter sawn cherry veneer on the shaker style cabinet doors with parallel grain run horizontally. Beautiful brown granite and custom stain compliment the oak floors we selected to provide continuity with the rest of the house. The master bath features a vanity designed with a wrap-over counter of thick granite, wenge wood veneers, Venetian plaster and a carefully coordinated variety of glass and stone tiles. In the guest bath a similar material palette is enlivened by inclusion of a wall hung toilet and an art niche.

In this renovation, the once-framed closed-in double-door closet in the laundry room was converted to a locker storage system with room for roll-out laundry basket drawer and a broom closet. The laundry soap is contained in the large drawer beside the washing machine. Behind the mirror, an oversized custom medicine cabinet houses small everyday items such as shoe polish, small tools, masks...etc. The off-white cabinetry and slate were existing. To blend in the off-white cabinetry, walnut accents were added with black hardware.

This is a Rainforest Brown Granite. We suggested this stone to the homeowner because the rich earth tone and tree-like pattern complement the view from the patio and pool: rolling farm fields and a gorgeous pond. The shape was designed to complement the arches and lines of the patio and exterior of the home.

Rainforest Brown Granite is a stunning stone in this Annapolis, Maryland home. The granite was cut and installed so that the distinctive tree-like veins continue smoothly throughout the entire bathroom. Custom shower seats and shelves were created as both functional and decorative elements.
