Tucked into a corner of the living room is a glamourous black, grey and gold home bar with two wine refrigerators and an undermount bar sink.

Reforma quincho - salón de estar - comedor en vivienda unifamiliar. Al finalizar con la remodelación de su escritorio, la familia quedó tan conforme con los resultados que quiso seguir remodelando otros espacios de su hogar para poder aprovecharlos más. Aquí me tocó entrar en su quincho: espacio de reuniones más grandes con amigos para cenas y asados. Este les quedaba chico, no por las dimensiones del espacio, sino porque los muebles no llegaban a abarcarlo es su totalidad. Se solicitó darle un lenguaje integral a todo un espacio que en su momento acogía un rejunte de muebles sobrantes que no se relacionaban entre si. Se propuso entonces un diseño que en su paleta de materiales combine hierro y madera. Se propuso ampliar la mesada para mas lugar de trabajo, y se libero espacio de la misma agregando unos alaceneros horizontales abiertos, colgados sobre una estructura de hierro. Para el asador, se diseñó un revestimiento en chapa completo que incluyera tanto la puerta del mismo como puertas y cajones inferiores para más guardado. Las mesas y el rack de TV siguieron con el mismo lenguaje, simulando una estructura en hierro que sostiene el mueble de madera. Se incluyó en el mueble de TV un amplio guardado con un sector de bar en bandejas extraíbles para botellas de tragos y sus utensilios. Las mesas se agrandaron pequeñamente en su dimensión para que reciban a dos invitados más cada una pero no invadan el espacio. Se consiguió así ampliar funcionalmente un espacio sin modificar ninguna de sus dimensiones, simplemente aprovechando su potencial a partir del diseño.

Whiskey Room Lounge

An alcove becomes a moody bar scene drenched in a deep rich black paint, black stone countertops, accented with warm wood floating shelves and copper antique mesh. Under shelf lighting illuminates the display area on the shelves and extra bottles are stored neatly in the custom diagonal open shelving rack to the side of the wine fridge.

The Ginesi Speakeasy is the ideal at-home entertaining space. A two-story extension right off this home's kitchen creates a warm and inviting space for family gatherings and friendly late nights.

Kitchen Bar

Jarrett Design is grateful for repeat clients, especially when they have impeccable taste. In this case, we started with their guest bath. An antique-inspired, hand-pegged vanity from our Nest collection, in hand-planed quarter-sawn cherry with metal capped feet, sets the tone. Calcutta Gold marble warms the room while being complimented by a white marble top and traditional backsplash. Polished nickel fixtures, lighting, and hardware selected by the client add elegance. A special bathroom for special guests. Next on the list were the laundry area, bar and fireplace. The laundry area greets those who enter through the casual back foyer of the home. It also backs up to the kitchen and breakfast nook. The clients wanted this area to be as beautiful as the other areas of the home and the visible washer and dryer were detracting from their vision. They also were hoping to allow this area to serve double duty as a buffet when they were entertaining. So, the decision was made to hide the washer and dryer with pocket doors. The new cabinetry had to match the existing wall cabinets in style and finish, which is no small task. Our Nest artist came to the rescue. A five-piece soapstone sink and distressed counter top complete the space with a nod to the past. Our clients wished to add a beverage refrigerator to the existing bar. The wall cabinets were kept in place again. Inspired by a beloved antique corner cupboard also in this sitting room, we decided to use stained cabinetry for the base and refrigerator panel. Soapstone was used for the top and new fireplace surround, bringing continuity from the nearby back foyer. Last, but definitely not least, the kitchen, banquette and powder room were addressed. The clients removed a glass door in lieu of a wide window to create a cozy breakfast nook featuring a Nest banquette base and table. Brackets for the bench were designed in keeping with the traditional details of the home. A handy drawer was incorporated. The double vase pedestal table with breadboard ends seats six comfortably. The powder room was updated with another antique reproduction vanity and beautiful vessel sink. While the kitchen was beautifully done, it was showing its age and functional improvements were desired. This room, like the laundry room, was a project that included existing cabinetry mixed with matching new cabinetry. Precision was necessary. For better function and flow, the cooking surface was relocated from the island to the side wall. Instead of a cooktop with separate wall ovens, the clients opted for a pro style range. These design changes not only make prepping and cooking in the space much more enjoyable, but also allow for a wood hood flanked by bracketed glass cabinets to act a gorgeous focal point. Other changes included removing a small desk in lieu of a dresser style counter height base cabinet. This provided improved counter space and storage. The new island gave better storage, uninterrupted counter space and a perch for the cook or company. Calacatta Gold quartz tops are complimented by a natural limestone floor. A classic apron sink and faucet along with thoughtful cabinetry details are the icing on the cake. Don’t miss the clients’ fabulous collection of serving and display pieces! We told you they have impeccable taste!

Perfect built-in coffee bar, complete with a sink and plenty of storage. Natural maple cabinets from Crystal Cabinetry and Steel Grey suede granite countertops make a statement and frame the views of the trees and lake out of all of the windows. Removing a wall made a huge difference to open up the space and maximize the view.
