This Estate Residence Guest House living room echos details of the original traditional colonial residence, before the complete "gut" renovation and enlargement of the home. Here is a custom bookcase which accommodates a flat screen TV.

The entertainment center includes two fold-down secretaries for his and her desks, file cabinets and an enclosed printer area. Even the TV is disguised behind a sliding door for a clean look when it's not in use. Photography: Brian Mahany

27" TV on a Nexus 21 L-23i drop down lift in a traditional style kitchen. This is a great way to incorporate the comforts of modern technology in a more traditional space. Give us a call. Let's talk lifts (888) 798-3514

This dark, dreary kitchen was large, but not being used well. The family of 7 had outgrown the limited storage and experienced traffic bottlenecks when in the kitchen together. A bright, cheerful and more functional kitchen was desired, as well as a new pantry space. We gutted the kitchen and closed off the landing through the door to the garage to create a new pantry. A frosted glass pocket door eliminates door swing issues. In the pantry, a small access door opens to the garage so groceries can be loaded easily. Grey wood-look tile was laid everywhere. We replaced the small window and added a 6’x4’ window, instantly adding tons of natural light. A modern motorized sheer roller shade helps control early morning glare. Three free-floating shelves are to the right of the window for favorite décor and collectables. White, ceiling-height cabinets surround the room. The full-overlay doors keep the look seamless. Double dishwashers, double ovens and a double refrigerator are essentials for this busy, large family. An induction cooktop was chosen for energy efficiency, child safety, and reliability in cooking. An appliance garage and a mixer lift house the much-used small appliances. An ice maker and beverage center were added to the side wall cabinet bank. The microwave and TV are hidden but have easy access. The inspiration for the room was an exclusive glass mosaic tile. The large island is a glossy classic blue. White quartz countertops feature small flecks of silver. Plus, the stainless metal accent was even added to the toe kick! Upper cabinet, under-cabinet and pendant ambient lighting, all on dimmers, was added and every light (even ceiling lights) is LED for energy efficiency. White-on-white modern counter stools are easy to clean. Plus, throughout the room, strategically placed USB outlets give tidy charging options.

This kitchen received a major "face lift" by painting the existing dark cabinets this light gray and adding some new additions as well. The built in desk area became a beverage center with sub-zero refrigerator built in and glass upper cabinets added. The double ovens were replaced with a steam and convection oven and the slide in range and upper cabinets were replaced with a stainless hood and pull out bottom drawers. Pull out trash cabinet and pan cabinet were added as well as a custom built television frame to mount the tv above the refrigerator and also hide away items not used as often, Calcutta gold quartz replaced the old black granite and subway tile replaced the slate back splash. Glass pendants were added over the peninsula and the counter-top was all lowered to counter level. A new paneled curved bar back was added to the peninsula.

This award winning minimalist condo hides the entertainment system when it's not in use. The big screen smart TV, invisible surround sound & equipment rack are out of site/out of mind. A Future Automation lift moves the art at the push of a button, revealing cinema quality sound & picture. The custom built wall unit hides all the of the necessary equipment and storage space behind the fireplace and smart TV.

Two rooms where incorporated into one open space in this modern Old Town residence. The end result is an open and functional space for the active family. Built ins with a bench were incorporated for seating with an adjacent bar for entertaining (complete with a hidden mirror TV unit). The new kitchen features high end appliances with a flush install subzero and miele cooking. The island was wrapped with a built up quartz for a clean look. This truly unique kitchen/family room is fully functional with the aesthetic in mind. Photo's courtesy Greg Hadley Construction: Harry Braswell Inc.

Floor-to-ceiling custom china cabinets create a backdrop for this open breakfast area.

The home office portion of the gift wrapping room uses the same white maple Wellborn cabinets connected by walnut countertops. The office space was originally set up so the lady of the house had a computer and printer for her craft projects, but the man of the house finds himself (and their dog!) spending a lot of time at this station because it's inviting and inspiring.
