S. Monroe Renovation

This lovely old beauty resides in a historic neighborhood. Respecting the architectural style, we aimed to renovate the kitchen and master bath by honoring the past and embracing the present. This was achieved by employing timeless materials and classic design elements.

Lisa Wallace, Principal Designer

Aged brass hardware and lighting was chosen because the original brass knobs and hardware are found throughout the home. The backsplash is Carrara marble which is accented by the Platinum Gray granite countertop. The vent hood is a custom designed stainless brass.

The oak island with a maple slab top was designed to look like a "found piece", such as an old library. Cabinets to left of the refrigerator are the pantry; every shelf pulls out fully.

Mudroom

Mudroom and utility received shiplap walls and a bold graphic porcelain floor.

Living Room for a Bachelor

This is a living room for a bachelor with excellent taste. His love of the outdoors is reflected in the fabrics and art.

Masculine Master Bath

A gentleman's bathroom, beautifully finished, but still masculine. A quartzite stone counter is accented by aged pewter metals mixed with polished nickel.

Master Shower

The shower received gray ceramic tile; pattern play makes the monochromatic scheme interesting. The floor and ceiling are clad in glass mosaic.
