The clients shared with us an inspiration picture of a white marble bathroom with clean lines and elegant feel. Their current master bathroom was far from elegant. With a somewhat limited budget, the goal was to create a walk-in shower, additional storage and elegant feel without having to change much of the footprint. To have the look of a marble bath without the high price tag we used on the floor and walls a durable porcelain tile with a realistic Carrara marble look makes this upscale bathroom a breeze to maintain. It also compliments the real Carrara marble countertop perfectly. A vanity with dual sinks was installed. On each side of the vanity is ample cabinet and drawer storage. This bathroom utilized all the storage space possible, while still having an open feel and flow. This master bath now has clean lines, delicate fixtures and the look of high end materials without the high end price-tag. The result is an elegant bathroom that they enjoy spending time and relaxing in.

The butler’s pantry glows with honed Macchia Vecchia book-matched marble slab backsplash and countertops. The traditional inset cabinetry is painted a soft white, with display pieces spotlit by the integrated lighting in the upper glass display cabinets with integrated lighting highlighting dishes and serving pieces. Pocket door cabinets hide small appliances, and the paneled twin SubZero twin columns keep the galley space feeling seamlessly cohesive. A dishwasher, microwave, and steam oven complete this elegantly functional space.

Family room in a finished basement with custom entertainment center built-in and electric fireplace. Crown molding and LED light strips line the tray ceiling which hide the structural beams and ductwork. The bright lighting and hard ceiling remove the sense of being in a basement.
