Morgante Wilson Architects kept the metal beams exposed and painted them a charcoal color. The perimeter counter tops are concrete to add an additional nod to the industrial feel. Storage is added underneath the island. Shelving was placed in front of the windows and hidden behind glass doors. Werner Straube Photography

Custom Residence Naples, Florida

New Living Room fireplace surround and entertainment cabinetry to match new cherry kitchen.

A recent kitchen renovation in Bala Cynwyd. We removed the dated dome lights and installed strategically placed 4” recessed lights. For under-cabinet lighting, we used a series of hardwired, non-heat producing LED lights. These are self-adhesive, paper-thin strips that provide plenty of attractive light, install easily and cost a fraction of standard under-cabinet lighting. And you can’t see them without bending down to look under the cabinets. The new bamboo floor certainly brightened things up, as did the quartz countertops. We sought a lumberyard that carried the same dimension and profile baseboard as the rest of the house. A custom-made steel frame, topped by a matching slab of countertop, made the new kitchen table. Some new Bosch appliances, floating IKEA shelves, a few coats of Benjamin Moore paint, a custom mosaic glass tile backsplash were the finishing touches. Photo: Becca Dornewass, Octo Design
