Taupe Painted Mackintosh Kitchen Design by Lorna one of our in house designers from Herbert William was recently completed in Whiteparish Wiltshire. This project was for a large sized kitchen that was part of a huge renovation project. Herbert William worked alongside the builders to ensure the renovation project went to plan. The client wanted a traditional design with quality wooden cabinets. Mackintosh Framed Lissa Oak cabinets in a mix of taupe and hickory painted were chosen. Lorna helped to give the design a modern twist by helping the client to pick chrome highlights for the design with ceiling and under cabinet spotlight lighting. The client also opted pendants above the Kitchen Island to give the kitchen versatile use and atmosphere all day long. The framed Mackintosh units have all drawer box inserts oak lined for a luxurious feel whilst Carrara quartz was used for the worktops and splash back. A Quooker combination boiling-water and mixer tap in Nordic design, complete with child proof push-and-turn handle and angled spout gives a modern, practical twist to the traditional Villeroy and Boch ceramic sink. The clients attended one of our Chef Table events that helped them explore, test out and select the right appliances for them. They selected a gas hob and a range of four ovens, which include a warming drawer and full steam functionality. They also opted for a Coffee Centre and slimline wine chiller. We created a separate utility area for the dishwasher and washing machine. Photography by Lia Vittone

The mudroom addition layout was inspired by old photographs of the home that had a glazed sunroom on the east side of the house. Using ECC countertops throughout the home provided consistency and allowed for custom molding (as seen in this fixed drip tray). Photography: Sean McBride

This custom home designed by Kimberly Kerl of Kustom Home Design beautifully reflects the unique personality and taste of the homeowners in a creative and dramatic fashion. The three-story home combines an eclectic blend of brick, stone, timber, lap and shingle siding. Rich textural materials such as stone and timber are incorporated into the interior design adding unexpected details and charming character to a new build. The two-story foyer with open stair and balcony allows a dramatic welcome and easy access to the upper and lower levels of the home. The Upper level contains 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, including a Jack-n-Jill style 4 piece bathroom design with private vanities and shared shower and toilet. Ample storage space is provided in the walk-in attic and large closets. Partially sloped ceilings, cozy dormers, barn doors and lighted niches give each of the bedrooms their own personality. The main level provides access to everything the homeowners need for independent living. A formal dining space for large family gatherings is connected to the open concept kitchen by a Butler's pantry and mudroom that also leads to the 3-car garage. An oversized walk-in pantry provide storage and an auxiliary prep space often referred to as a "dirty kitchen". Dirty kitchens allow homeowners to have behind the scenes spaces for clean up and prep so that the main kitchen remains clean and uncluttered. The kitchen has a large island with seating, Thermador appliances including the chef inspired 48" gas range with double ovens, 30" refrigerator column, 30" freezer columns, stainless steel double compartment sink and quiet stainless steel dishwasher. The kitchen is open to the casual dining area with large views of the backyard and connection to the two-story living room. The vaulted kitchen ceiling has timber truss accents centered on the full height stone fireplace of the living room. Timber and stone beams, columns and walls adorn this combination of living and dining spaces. The master suite is on the main level with a raised ceiling, oversized walk-in closet, master bathroom with soaking tub, two-person luxury shower, water closet and double vanity. The laundry room is convenient to the master, garage and kitchen. An executive level office is also located on the main level with clerestory dormer windows, vaulted ceiling, full height fireplace and grand views. All main living spaces have access to the large veranda and expertly crafted deck. The lower level houses the future recreation space and media room along with surplus storage space and utility areas. Kimberly Kerl, KH Design
