Castle Building & RemodelingThis twin home was the perfect home for these empty nesters – retro-styled bathrooms, beautiful fireplace and built-ins, and a spectacular garden. The only thing the home was lacking was a functional kitchen space.
The old kitchen had three entry points – one to the dining room, one to the back entry, and one to a hallway. The hallway entry was closed off to create a more functional galley style kitchen that isolated traffic running through and allowed for much more countertop and storage space.
The clients wanted a transitional style that mimicked their design choices in the rest of the home. A medium wood stained base cabinet was chosen to warm up the space and create contrast against the soft white upper cabinets. The stove was given two resting points on each side, and a large pantry was added for easy-access storage. The original box window at the kitchen sink remains, but the same granite used for the countertops now sits on the sill of the window, as opposed to the old wood sill that showed all water stains and wears. The granite chosen (Nevaska Granite) is a wonderful color mixture of browns, greys, whites, steely blues and a hint of black. A travertine tile backsplash accents the warmth found in the wood tone of the base cabinets and countertops.
Elegant lighting was installed as well as task lighting to compliment the bright, natural light in this kitchen. A flip-up work station will be added as another work point for the homeowners – likely to be used for their stand mixer while baking goodies with their grandkids. Wallpaper adds another layer of visual interest and texture.
The end result is an elegant and timeless design that the homeowners will gladly use for years to come.

Cabinet-S-TopIn this kitchen, Medallion Gold Parkplace Raised Panel cabinets were installed. The base cabinets are Gale Classic Paint finish and the tall and wall cabinets are Chai Latte Classic Paint finish. The countertop is Viatera 3cm Sporano quartz. Installed on the end of the island is Laurel Cavern Hamilton stone. On the backsplash, Tumbled Travertine Natural Stone 2x2 in Baja Cream was installed. Three Kichler Tangelwood pendant lights over the island and chandelier over the table. Delta Addison pull down faucet, RO drinking faucet and Linden soap dispenser in Arctic Stainless finish. A Blanco Truffle Sink with stainless steel grids. On the floor is Homecrest Cascade Beveled engineered vinyl tile 12x24.

Fiorito Interior DesignLike many projects, this one started with a simple wish from a client: turn an unused butler’s pantry between the dining room and kitchen into a fully functioning, climate-controlled wine room for his extensive collection of valuable vintages. But like many projects, the wine room is connected to the dining room which is connected to the sitting room which is connected to the entry. When you touch one room, it only makes sense to reinvigorate them all. We overhauled the entire ground floor of this lovely home.
For the wine room, I worked with Vintage Cellars in Southern California to create custom wine storage embedded with LED lighting to spotlight very special bottles. The walls are in a burgundy tone and the floors are porcelain tiles that look as if they came from an old wine cave in Tuscany. A bubble light chandelier alludes to sparkling varietals.
But as mentioned, the rest of the house came along for the ride. Since we were adding a climate-controlled wine room, the brief was to turn the rest of the house into a space that would rival any hot-spot winery in Napa.
After choosing new flooring and a new hue for the walls, the entry became a destination in itself with a huge concave metal mirror and custom bench. We knocked out a half wall that awkwardly separated the sitting room from the dining room so that after-dinner drinks could flow to the fireplace surrounded by stainless steel pebbles; and we outfitted the dining room with a new chandelier. We chose all new furniture for all spaces.
The kitchen received the least amount of work but ended up being completely transformed anyhow. At first our plan was to tear everything out, but we soon realized that the cabinetry was in good shape and only needed the dated honey pine color painted over with a cream white. We also played with the idea of changing the counter tops, but once the cabinetry changed color, the granite stood out beautifully. The final change was the removal of a pot rack over the island in favor of design-forward iron pendants.

Pinnacle Design & RemodelingWith Landmark Remodeling by our side we tackled the fourth project we have been on with these long-time clients. They have wanted to refresh the kitchen from day one of looking at it and were very excited that they were finally doing it four years later.
We went back and forth on whether we reface the current cabinetry or do the whole gut and remodel route. This is a conversation we have all the time with clients and we gave our opinion to save the money and only refresh.
We landed on refacing and then applying some of those saving into refacing the fireplace in the adjacent family room to tie the two spaces together.
Since we were replacing the counters we took the opportunity to extend the island to accomodate more counter space and additional stool seating.

Color Choice InteriorsThe objective in this kitchen is to bring it from the current design into a more glam space to reflect the personality of the owner. We will start by removing the current range hood and replacing it with either ivory and gold, black and gold, stainless and gold or all gold range hood. Then we will replace the tile behind the range hood with either black and gold or cream and gold tile (marble or other) as a focal point and replace the remaining backsplash with a complimentary tile.
