Photographs by Doreen Kilfeather appeared in Image Interiors Magazine, July/August 2016 These photographs convey a sense of the beautiful lakeside location of the property, as well as the comprehensive refurbishment to update the midcentury cottage. The cottage, which won the RTÉ television programme Home of the Year is a tranquil home for interior designer Egon Walesch and his partner in county Westmeath, Ireland. Walls throughout are painted Farrow & Ball Cornforth White. Doors, skirting, window frames, beams painted in Farrow & Ball Strong White. Floors treated with Woca White Oil. Bespoke kitchen by Jim Kelly in Farrow & Ball Downpipe. Vintage Louis Poulsen pendant lamps above Ercol table and Eames DSR chairs. Vintage rug from Morocco.

This six-bedroom home — all with en-suite bathrooms — is a brand new home on one of Lincoln Park's most desirable streets. The neo-Georgian, brick and limestone façade features well-crafted detailing both inside and out. The lower recreation level is expansive, with 9-foot ceilings throughout. The first floor houses elegant living and dining areas, as well as a large kitchen with attached great room, and the second floor holds an expansive master suite with a spa bath and vast walk-in closets. A grand, elliptical staircase ascends throughout the home, concluding in a sunlit penthouse providing access to an expansive roof deck and sweeping views of the city.. Nathan Kirkman

Beautiful sparkling, new kitchen with painted white cabinets, granite and soapstone counters. This kitchen was designed by Cathy Knight of Knight Architects LLC and the contractor for the project was Pinneo Construction. The kitchen features Sub-Zero, GE Monogram, and Thermador products. This homeowner wanted extra refrigerator space and less freezer, so used an all refrigerator on the left side next to a refrigerator/freezer that are both seamlessly integrated. It also features other appliances integrated into the cabinetry, like the Sub-Zero Wine Storage. The appliances were supplied by Mrs. G TV & Appliances.
