Homeowner wanted more natural light in the kitchen. Eliminate the tight opening between the kitchen and family room. Create an elegant, clean, modern look with marble counter tops. Add more drawers and tall storage. Build the refrigerator into the wall cabinetry. Single window was replaced with a triple unit, allowing natural light to flow through kitchen. Under-cabinet LED lights installed for energy efficiency. Dove White cabinets coupled with Calcutta Gold marble and Crackle White subway tile brought all the elegance the homeowner wanted to achieve.

This bathroom got a punch of personality with this modern, monochromatic design.

Bathroom combination of the grey and light tiles with walking shower and dark wood appliance.

Photography by Robert Peacock A mix of industrial and natural elements make up this very unique den. The color palette, textures, and forms all work together to create a luxurious yet inviting space. Custom pieces such as the metal tree artwork, glass leaf floor lamp, and detailed throw pillows, add character to this otherwise almost ordinary space. The windows are framed with heavy metal draperies layer behind silver sheers. In the bathroom, the industrial theme continues with an abundance of silver. Silver-leafed wall covering layers over dark paint on the walls. A custom vanity and paired mirror add to the uniqueness of this space.
