Transitional Design Condo Update in San Francisco, California Pacific Heights Neighborhood The owners of this condo in Pacific Heights wanted to update their 60’s style kitchen and bathrooms yet strike a balance between ultra modern and conservative. To achieve this, we combined clean modern lines and contemporary fittings with warm natural stone and rich woods. In the kitchen, a distinctive effect is achieved by using quarter sawn cherry veneer on the shaker style cabinet doors with parallel grain run horizontally. Beautiful brown granite and custom stain compliment the oak floors we selected to provide continuity with the rest of the house. The master bath features a vanity designed with a wrap-over counter of thick granite, wenge wood veneers, Venetian plaster and a carefully coordinated variety of glass and stone tiles. In the guest bath a similar material palette is enlivened by inclusion of a wall hung toilet and an art niche.

Custom made vanity and linen cabinets. Painted maple cabinets with inset doors.

Our customers in the Rancho Bernardo area of San Diego added a walk in shower, created a private toilet area, and added some much needed storage space while modernizing their master bathroom. Photos by John Gerson. www.choosechi.com

Designer: Katelyn Gilmour Photographer: CasaMokio (Nate Lewis) The finish materials for the space were of utmost priority for our clients. Being that they wanted long term durability as well as a good price point, porcelain materials were hand selected for the wall tile and wood-like flooring tile. Cohesive finish materials echo throughout the space. Accents of honed glass in warms hues bring a touch of whimsy while the plank-like flooring provides the desired rustic design element. 2014 NARI META Gold Award: Monte Sereno Bathroom Remodel
