A great example of "Transitional" design on a smaller scale. This North Scottsdale Condo was design using white Shaker style cabinets in the kitchen and for the island. The counter tops are a quartz with marble veining and the backsplash uses the original brick. The floors are a wood plank porcelain in a lighter wood tone. The design brightens up the space and creates the illusion of extra space. Enjoy!

This Mid-century home was ready for a kitchen makeover to stand the test of time. Sleek white cabinets and modern touches, a pantry, and a wet bar ready to entertain. This kitchen may be small but it is packed with everything your dream kitchen needs!

out en longueur et profitant de peu de lumière naturelle, cet appartement de 26m2 nécessitait un rafraichissement lui permettant de dévoiler ses atouts. Bénéficiant de 3,10m de hauteur sous plafond, la mise en place d’un papier panoramique permettant de lier les espaces s’est rapidement imposée, permettant de surcroit de donner de la profondeur et du relief au décor. Un espace séjour confortable, une cuisine ouverte tout en douceur et très fonctionnelle, un espace nuit en mezzanine, le combo idéal pour créer un cocon reprenant les codes « bohêmes » avec ses multiples suspensions en rotin & panneaux de cannage naturel ici et là. Un projet clé en main destiné à la location hôtelière au caractère affirmé.

Проект: Bolshevik Площадь: 40 м2 Год реализации: 2018 Местоположение: Москва Фотограф: Денис Красиков Над проектом работали: Анастасия Стручкова, Денис Красиков, Марина Цой, Оксана Стручкова Проект апартаментов для молодой девушки из Москвы. Главной задачей проекта было создать стильное интересное помещение. Заказчица увлекается книгами и кальянами, поэтому надо было предусмотреть полки для книг и места для отдыха. А готовить не любит, и кухня должна быть максимально компактной. В качестве основного стиля был выбран минимализм с элементами лофта. Само пространство с высокими потолками, балками на потолке и панорамным окном уже задавало особое настроение. При перепланировке решено было использовать минимум перегородок. На стене между кухней-гостиной и гардеробом прорезано большое лофтовое окно, которое пропускает свет и визуально связывает два пространства. Основная цветовая гамма — монохром. Светло-серые стены, потолок и текстиль, темный пол, черные металлические элементы, и немного светлого дерева на фасадах корпусной мебели. Сдержанную и строгую цветовую гамму разбавляют яркие акцентные детали: желтая конструкция кровати, красная рама зеркала в прихожей и разноцветные детали стеллажа под окном. В помещении предусмотрено несколько сценариев освещения. Для равномерного освещения всего пространства используются поворотные трековые и точечные светильники. Зона кухни и спальни украшены минималистичными металлическими люстрами. В зоне отдыха на подоконнике - бра для чтения. В пространстве используется минимум декора, только несколько черно-белых постеров и декоративные подушки на подоконнике. Главный элемент декора - постер с пандой, который добавляет пространству обаяния и неформальности.

Curtis and Peggy had been thinking of a kitchen remodel for quite some time, but they knew their house would have a unique set of challenges. Their older Victorian house was built in 1891. The kitchen cabinetry was original, and they wanted to keep the authenticity of their period home while adding modern comforts that would improve their quality of life. A friend recommended Advance Design Studio for their exceptional experience and quality of work. After meeting with designer Michelle Lecinski at Advance Design, they were confident they could partner with Advance to accomplish the unique kitchen renovation they’d been talking about for years. “We wanted to do the kitchen for a long, long time,” Curtis said. “(We asked ourselves) what are we actually going to do? How are we going to do this? And who are we going to find to do exactly what we want?” The goal for the project was to keep the home renovation and new kitchen feeling authentic to the time in which it was built. They desperately wanted the modern comforts that come with a larger refrigerator and the dishwasher that they never had! The old home was also a bit drafty so adding a fireplace, wall insulation and new windows became a priority. They very much wanted to create a comfortable hearth room adjacent to the kitchen, complete with old world brick. The original cabinetry had to go to make way for beautiful new kitchen cabinetry that appears as if it was a hundred years old, but with all the benefits of cutting-edge storage, self-closing drawers, and a brand-new look. “We just wanted to keep it old looking, but with some modern updates,” Peggy said. Dura Supreme Highland Cabinets with a Heritage Old World Painted Finish replaced the original 1891 cabinets. The hand-applied careful rubbed-off detailing makes these exquisite cabinets look as if they came from a far-gone era. Despite the small size of the kitchen, Peggy, Curtis and Michelle utilized every inch with custom cabinet sizes to increase storage capacity. The custom cabinets allowed for the addition of a 24” Fisher Paykel dishwasher with a concealing Dura Supreme door panel. Michelle was also able to work into the new design a larger 30” Fisher Paykel French refrigerator. “We made every ¼ inch count in this small space,” designer Michelle said. “Having the ability to custom size the cabinetry was the only way to achieve this.” “The kitchen essentially was designed around the Heartland Vintage range and oven,” says Michelle. A classic appliance that combines nostalgic beauty and craftsmanship for modern cooking, with nickel plated trim and elegantly shaped handles and legs; the not to miss range is a striking focal point of the entire room and an engaging conversation piece. Granite countertops in Kodiak Satin with subtle veining kept with the old-world style. The delicate porcelain La Vie Crackle Sonoma tile kitchen backsplash compliments the home’s style perfectly. A handcrafted passthrough designed to show off Peggy’s fine china was custom built by project carpenters Justin Davis and Jeff Dallain to physically and visually open the space. Additional storage was created in the custom panty room with Latte Edinburg cabinets, hand-made weathered wood shelving with authentic black iron brackets, and an intricate tin copper ceiling. Peggy and Curtis loved the idea of adding a Vermont stove to make the hearth-room not only functional, but a truly beckoning place to be. A stunning Bordeaux red Vermont Castings Stove with crisp black ventilation was chosen and combined with the authentic reclaimed Chicago brick wall. Advance’s talented carpenters custom-built elegant weathered shelves to house family memorabilia, installed carefully chosen barn sconces, and made the hearth room an inviting place to relax with a cup of coffee and a good book. “Peggy and Curtis’ project was so much fun to work on. Creating a space that looks and feels like it always belonged in this beautiful old Victorian home is a designer’s dream. To see the delight in their faces when they saw the design details coming together truly made it worth the time and effort that went into making the very compact kitchen space work”, said Michelle. “The result is an amazing custom kitchen, packed with functionality in every inch, nook and cranny!” exclaims Michelle. The renovation didn’t end with the kitchen. New Pella windows were added to help lessen the drafts. The removal of the original windows and trim necessitated the re-creation of hand-made corbels and trim details no longer available today. The talented carpenter team came to the rescue, crafting new pieces and masterfully finishing them as if they were always there. New custom gutters were formed and installed with a front entry rework necessary to accommodate the changes. The whole house functions better, but it still feels like the original 1891 home. “From start to finish it’s just a much better space than we used to have,” Peggy said. “Jeff and Justin were amazing.” Curtis added; “We were lucky to find Advance Design, because they really came through for us. I loved that they had everything in house, anything you needed to have done, they could do it”.

"A Kitchen for Architects" by Jamee Parish Architects, LLC. This project is within an old 1928 home. The kitchen was expanded and a small addition was added to provide a mudroom and powder room. It was important the the existing character in this home be complimented and mimicked in the new spaces.
