This transitional kitchen design in Holt proves why dramatic color schemes are becoming a more popular choice for kitchen remodels. The elegant, custom green raised panel cabinetry from Decora is beautifully offset by Top Knobs honey bronze finish hardware. The space has a slight rustic edge with the hardwood flooring, dark Cambria quartz countertop, and marble backsplash combining perfectly to add contrast and texture to the design. Black finish GE appliances add another color contrast, along with the Elkay E-granite black double bowl sink and Kohler faucet. The design includes a built-in buffet area, and upper glass front cabinets with in cabinet lighting, plus undercabinet lights throughout.

The Jack + Mare designed and built this custom kitchen and dining remodel for a family in Portland's Sellwood Westmoreland Neighborhood. The wall between the kitchen and dining room was removed to create an inviting and flowing space with custom details in all directions. The custom maple dining table was locally milled and crafted from a tree that had previously fallen in Portland's Laurelhurst neighborhood; and the built-in L-shaped maple banquette provides unique comfortable seating with drawer storage beneath. The integrated kitchen and dining room has become the social hub of the house – the table can comfortably sit up to 10 people! Being that the kitchen is visible from the dining room, the refrigerator and dishwasher are hidden behind cabinet door fronts that seamlessly tie-in with the surrounding cabinetry creating a warm and inviting space. The end result is a highly functional kitchen for the chef and a comfortable and practical space for family and friends. Details: custom cabinets (designed by The J+M) with shaker door fronts, a baker's pantry, built-in banquette with integrated storage, custom local silver maple table, solid oak flooring to match original 1925 flooring, white ceramic tile backsplash, new lighting plan featuring a Cedar + Moss pendant, all L.E.D. can lights, Carrara marble countertops, new larger windows to bring in more natural light and new trim. The combined kitchen and dining room is 281 Square feet.

New Kitchen and Renovation of a Cottage in Mill Valley, California The owners of this house on a sprawling hillside in Mill Valley were already familiar with our work. Their house was charming in many ways but it had been remodeled too many times by too many prior owners. It lacked cohesion and was a little dilapidated. Especially vexing to the owners were the funky disjointed rooflines visible from the upper part of their property where they were hoping to locate a hot tub and terrace for entertaining. They also wanted a new chef’s kitchen and entry. By raising the ceiling of the new kitchen, we were not only able to create a bright and airy room but we were also able to clean up the roofline. The new kitchen blends farmhouse and craftsman elements with modern appliances and Caesarstone counters. At the new lean-to entry we used heavy timber elements and a rustic custom door to accentuate the country setting. Our landscape design work included all of the walkways, stairs, terraces, decks, hot tub, trellises and the fountain of colored, board-formed concrete. Photos by Mark Brand.
