Detail of guest bathroom with antique cabinet and antique perfume bottles

The bath was falling apart. The basic layout was fine but the proportions were all wrong, so the ceiling was lowered at the back half to create a human-scale ceiling height above the shower and toilet room. The couple agreed on requirements but disagreed on look. He wanted bright bold colors. She wanted muted and calm. They were both happy with blue cabinetry and mosaic glass combined with neutral field tile. The steam shower features a 60” tall blue glass arched niche.

Eclectic Design displayed in this modern ranch layout. Wooden headers over doors and windows was the design hightlight from the start, and other design elements were put in place to compliment it.

All it takes to feel like a star is stepping into this glamorous and spacious Hollywood Regency bathroom. The round jacuzzi bathtub is adorned with mirror mosaic tile, and placed alongside is a vibrant fuchsia velvet tufted ottoman, clearly meant for those who love the statement of luxury. Everything in this room speaks of distinction and class. From the bold dark walls, to the large ornate mirror, to the mirrored cabinets. Here, everything sparkles.

Mirrors across two walls create reflections that visually expand the space. Distinctive tiles add character and a composite stone worktop (50mm thick) with a deck mounted basin, lends itself as a space saver, with a towel rail and toiler roll holder. Photo credit: David Giles

Our carpenters labored every detail from chainsaws to the finest of chisels and brad nails to achieve this eclectic industrial design. This project was not about just putting two things together, it was about coming up with the best solutions to accomplish the overall vision. A true meeting of the minds was required around every turn to achieve "rough" in its most luxurious state. Featuring: Floating vanity, rough cut wood top, beautiful accent mirror and Porcelanosa wood grain tile as flooring and backsplashes. PhotographerLink

KitchenLab Interiors’ first, entirely new construction project in collaboration with GTH architects who designed the residence. KLI was responsible for all interior finishes, fixtures, furnishings, and design including the stairs, casework, interior doors, moldings and millwork. KLI also worked with the client on selecting the roof, exterior stucco and paint colors, stone, windows, and doors. The homeowners had purchased the existing home on a lakefront lot of the Valley Lo community in Glenview, thinking that it would be a gut renovation, but when they discovered a host of issues including mold, they decided to tear it down and start from scratch. The minute you look out the living room windows, you feel as though you're on a lakeside vacation in Wisconsin or Michigan. We wanted to help the homeowners achieve this feeling throughout the house - merging the causal vibe of a vacation home with the elegance desired for a primary residence. This project is unique and personal in many ways - Rebekah and the homeowner, Lorie, had grown up together in a small suburb of Columbus, Ohio. Lorie had been Rebekah's babysitter and was like an older sister growing up. They were both heavily influenced by the style of the late 70's and early 80's boho/hippy meets disco and 80's glam, and both credit their moms for an early interest in anything related to art, design, and style. One of the biggest challenges of doing a new construction project is that it takes so much longer to plan and execute and by the time tile and lighting is installed, you might be bored by the selections of feel like you've seen them everywhere already. “I really tried to pull myself, our team and the client away from the echo-chamber of Pinterest and Instagram. We fell in love with counter stools 3 years ago that I couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on, thank god, because then they started showing up literally everywhere", Rebekah recalls. Lots of one of a kind vintage rugs and furnishings make the home feel less brand-spanking new. The best projects come from a team slightly outside their comfort zone. One of the funniest things Lorie says to Rebekah, "I gave you everything you wanted", which is pretty hilarious coming from a client to a designer.

Master bath featuring dual sinks and a large walk-in shower

unique custom vanity made up natural bookmatched walnut and quartz counterop.

The shower is equipped with dual heads and huge window- this design adds to that resort style feeling. Lot's of light!

A unique design adds as much counter and storage space as possible to this ensuite. A built in vanity plus a separate smaller counter top adds display space with 9 drawers and a cabinet below, as well as one cabinet above. A black faucet and cabinet/drawer pulls work perfectly with the dark gray accent wall and the black in the granite as well.
