The kitchen in our Florida vacation home is a work in progress. It is very small so the challenge is to use the space efficiently, especially since we typically have visiting friends and family here. We love hosting happy hours so we've adopted a wine theme. The rather tall sliding door which opens to a small porch and faces the pond makes the kitchen appear slightly larger than it actually is. We plan to install countertop on the half-wall behind the sink. That, along with two small stools and some small pendant lights will create a breakfast bar and in the dining area and allow a few more people a place to eat or drink. In addition, a small pub table on the tiled area of the kitchen may also be in the plan.

Great Room Christmas, Although the fireplace is the focal point of the room throughout most of the year, it must share the attention with a 12 foot Christmas tree during the Yuletide Season., Holidays Design

Townhome Bedroom Suite, The master bedroom suite in our Florida townhome is very small so we wanted to keep it simple. We decided not to put a longer dresser with mirror in the room as only two night tables and a chest drawer fit comfortably. Rather than hang the flat screen TV on the wall, we placed it on the chest dresser which is positioned in front of the bed. The room is on the second floor of the townhome, and because it's hotter up there, we put a ceiling fan over the bed.

The room has a peaceful, natural view of the pond which we did not want to block in any way with furniture. The windows face east, so in the morning, the sunrise is a natural alarm clock!, Bedrooms Design

NJ Great Room, This is the room where family & friends gather for the Christmas Season. The center of the room is the fireplace with a large window above that brightens the room by day and captures spectacular sunsets as dusk approaches. Above the fireplace are Chinese symbols for earth, fire, sun and water. Centered between the symbols is a plaque that details the Fruits of the Spirit. During the Christmas Season, The letters of BELIEVE are backlit on top of the fireplace and a star is center hung, atop the fireplace opening., Holidays Design

transitional/Contemporary/minimalist kitchen makeover(before & after), cookie cutter track home got a major overhaul from floor to ceiling. Kitchen is on the small side and the short cabinets made the room feel even smaller. original yellow oak cabinets ,white tile countertops and recessed fluorescent lights from early 2000. Lacked personality and style and very ugly to say the least.
Did my research and laid out a budget before taking the plunge though in the end we nearly doubled the amount spent. project took two months from start(demo) to finish. , Kitchens Design

Cottage style kitchen, We have recently downsized our lives and welcomed the idea of condo living. We were able to completely customize our condo as we entered the project in its early stages. They are styled in a craftsman bungalow look. Wall color Benjamin Moore Stonehearth. , Kitchens Design

50's Cozy Cottage Kitchen, Our kitchen space is cute, but old. The cabinets have been repainted many times. The floor is uneven because of multiple layers of linoleum. The appliances need replacing. Something is leaking between the fridge and dishwasher and we don't know which so we keep a towel underneath the fridge to soak up the water coming from somewhere. The bar/pantry is so deep, things get lost and you never see them again. The bar really isn't a bar it's a "catch-all" and we need more space!! , Kitchens Design

Open concept, This is a 2 bedroom apartment above our garage that my husband and I have almost finished. He fought me on the white cabinets wanting a rustic feel and I wanted some contrast from the dark hardwood floors and pine ceiling. I'm so happy with the end result, and so is he. Original plan had the island straight, we angled it to soften the transition from kitchen to living room and vise versa., Kitchens Design

Tile backsplash #2, aaahhhh, I was SO SO happy with how this backsplash turned out! I really contemplated how to do it and had a hard time finding something I thought would look good. The granite is a little wild so I wanted something that would blend nicely. I used the same 2" tiles I used at my daughters house (see backsplash #1) but turned them on a diagonal. WOW what a difference! Plus this was very inexpensive tile. Only $2.97 for a 12x12 in sheet! Used the "Simple mat tile adhesive" again. Love this stuff., Kitchens Design

Total Transformation, The kitchen prior to renovations was a Galley kitchen with a pass through to the formal dining room on one side and then had a breakfast nook on the other side. There was a wall between the breakfast nook and an indoor patio.

I decided to knockdown the wall between the breakfast nook and the indoor patio and then close up the pass through to the formal dining room. I then transformed the formal living room into an office and placed my dining room furniture where the breakfast nook used to be. The kitchen has a huge bar that you can sit at so there is no need for a breakfast nook anymore.

This created a giant living/dining/kitchen area. , Kitchens Design
