Free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW   Working with this Glen Ellyn client was so much fun the first time around, we were thrilled when they called to say they were considering moving across town and might need some help with a bit of design work at the new house. The kitchen in the new house had been recently renovated, but it was not exactly what they wanted. What started out as a few tweaks led to a pretty big overhaul of the kitchen, mudroom and laundry room. Luckily, we were able to use re-purpose the old kitchen cabinetry and custom island in the remodeling of the new laundry room — win-win! As parents of two young girls, it was important for the homeowners to have a spot to store equipment, coats and all the “behind the scenes” necessities away from the main part of the house which is a large open floor plan. The existing basement mudroom and laundry room had great bones and both rooms were very large. To make the space more livable and comfortable, we laid slate tile on the floor and added a built-in desk area, coat/boot area and some additional tall storage. We also reworked the staircase, added a new stair runner, gave a facelift to the walk-in closet at the foot of the stairs, and built a coat closet. The end result is a multi-functional, large comfortable room to come home to! Just beyond the mudroom is the new laundry room where we re-used the cabinets and island from the original kitchen. The new laundry room also features a small powder room that used to be just a toilet in the middle of the room. You can see the island from the old kitchen that has been repurposed for a laundry folding table. The other countertops are maple butcherblock, and the gold accents from the other rooms are carried through into this room. We were also excited to unearth an existing window and bring some light into the room.

Home office is a bright space from the perimeter of windows letting in all of the natural light. height and visual interest form the interior ceiling lines tied together offers spectacular lines. The space is warmed up with the natural slate flooring which has radiant floor hot water heating. The once exterior chimney was cleaned up to expose the beautiful brick. A freestanding wood stove was added and will keep the room toasty during the cold winter nights. Photography by Chris Veith

A large walk-in pantry has been re-designed to be more multi-tasking. The homeowner wanted a spot to check email and keep a family calendar while cookies are in the oven. Still in earshot of the oven timer, this homeowner can accomplish a few other tasks. While not temperature controlled, there is ample wine storage for this frequent entertainer. Closed cabinets house food, small appliances and stock pots. An undermount keyboard tray keeps the desktop clear for researching recipes and jotting notes.

シドニーにある高級な広いコンテンポラリースタイルのおしゃれなアトリエ・スタジオ (白い壁、スレートの床、造り付け机) の写真

This remodel of a mid-century gem is located in the town of Lincoln, MA a hot bed of modernist homes inspired by Gropius’ own house built nearby in the 1940s. By the time the house was built, modernism had evolved from the Gropius era, to incorporate the rural vibe of Lincoln with spectacular exposed wooden beams and deep overhangs. The design rejects the traditional New England house with its enclosing wall and inward posture. The low pitched roofs, open floor plan, and large windows openings connect the house to nature to make the most of it's rural setting. Photo by: Nat Rea Photography

The study room has a large pocket door so it can be closed off when wanted. A smooth tight fitted slate floor makes for easy cleaning. Again a lot of built-in cabinets, bookcases and desks are designed-in.

A cozy corner transformed into a lovely work space, with plenty of room for storage. The unit compliments the white shiplap ceiling, tying rustic and traditional together via a crown molding trim on the top of practical, custom, overhead cabinetry. And of course, the design includes window seating for all of the family members to enjoy.
