SH interiorsWe completely renovated this space for an episode of HGTV House Hunters Renovation. The kitchen was originally a galley kitchen. We removed a wall between the DR and the kitchen to open up the space. We used a combination of countertops in this kitchen. To give a buffer to the wood counters, we used slabs of marble each side of the sink. This adds interest visually and helps to keep the water away from the wood counters. We used blue and cream for the cabinetry which is a lovely, soft mix and wood shelving to match the wood counter tops. To complete the eclectic finishes we mixed gold light fixtures and cabinet hardware with black plumbing fixtures and shelf brackets.

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.

TVL Creative Ltd.Our wonderful Baker clients were ready to remodel the kitchen in their c.1900 home shortly after moving in. They were looking to undo the 90s remodel that existed, and make the kitchen feel like it belonged in their historic home. We were able to design a balance that incorporated the vintage charm of their home and the modern pops that really give the kitchen its personality. We started by removing the mirrored wall that had separated their kitchen from the breakfast area. This allowed us the opportunity to open up their space dramatically and create a cohesive design that brings the two rooms together. To further our goal of making their kitchen appear more open we removed the wall cabinets along their exterior wall and replaced them with open shelves. We then incorporated a pantry cabinet into their refrigerator wall to balance out their storage needs. This new layout also provided us with the space to include a peninsula with counter seating so that guests can keep the cook company. We struck a fun balance of materials starting with the black & white hexagon tile on the floor to give us a pop of pattern. We then layered on simple grey shaker cabinets and used a butcher block counter top to add warmth to their kitchen. We kept the backsplash clean by utilizing an elongated white subway tile, and painted the walls a rich blue to add a touch of sophistication to the space.
Kim Duffin for Sublime Luxury Kitchens & BathroomsThis sky home with stunning views over Brisbane's CBD, the river and Kangaroo Point Cliffs captures the maturity now
found in inner city living in Brisbane. Originally from Melbourne and with his experience gain from extensive business
travel abroad, the owner of the apartment decided to transform his home to match the cosmopolitan lifestyle he has
enjoyed whilst living in these locations.
The original layout of the kitchen was typical for apartments built over 20 years ago. The space was restricted by a
collection of small rooms, two dining areas plus kitchen that did not take advantage of the views or the need for a strong
connection between living areas and the outdoors.
The new design has managed to still give definition to activities performed in the kitchen, dining and living but through
minimal detail the kitchen does not dominate the space which can often happen in an open plan.
A typical galley kitchen design was selected as it best catered for how the space relates to the rest of the apartment and
adjoining living space. An effortless workflow is created from the start point of the pantry, housing food stores as well as
small appliances, and refrigerator. These are within easy reach of the preparation zones and cooking on the island. Then
delivery to the dining area is seamless.
There are a number of key features used in the design to create the feeling of spaces whilst maximising functionality. The
mirrored kickboards reflect light (aided by the use of LED strip lighting to the underside of the cabinets) creating the illusion
that the cabinets are floating thus reducing the footprint in the design.
The simple design philosophy is continued with the use of Laminam, 3mm porcelain sheets to the vertical and horizontal
surfaces. This material is then mitred on the edges of all drawers and doors extenuate the seamless, minimalist, cube look.
A cantilevered bespoke silky oak timber benchtop placed on the island creates a small breakfast/coffee area whilst
increasing bench space and creating the illusion of more space. The stain and other features of this unique piece of timber
compliments the tones found in the porcelain skin of the kitchen.
The half wall built behind the sinks hides the entry point of the services into the apartment. This has been clad in a
complimentary laminate for the timber benchtop . Mirror splashbacks help reflect more light into the space. The cabinets
above the cleaning zone also appear floating due to the mirrored surface behind and the placement of LED strip lighting
used to highlight the perimeter.
A fully imported FALMAC Stainless Rangehood and flyer over compliments the plasterboard bulkhead that houses the air
conditioning whilst providing task lighting to the island.
Lighting has been used throughout the space to highlight and frame the design elements whist creating illumination for all
tasks completed in the kitchen.
Achieving "fluid motion" has been a major influence in the choice of hardware used in the design. Blum servo drive
electronic drawer opening systems have been used to counter act any issues that may be encounter by the added weight
of the porcelain used on the drawer fronts. These are then married with Blum Intivo soft close drawer systems.
The devil is in the detail with a design and space that is so low profile yet complicated in it's simplicity.
