A sleek, modern design, combined with the comfortable atmosphere in this Gainesville living room, will make it a favorite place to spend downtime in this home. The modern Eclipse Cabinetry by Shiloh pairs with floating shelves, offering storage and space to display special items. The LED linear fireplace serves as a centerpiece, while maintaining the clean lines of the modern design. The fireplace is framed by Emser Surface wall tile in linear white, adding to the sleek appearance of the room. Large windows allow ample natural light, making this an ideal space to recharge and relax.

Our clients came to us wanting to update and open up their kitchen, breakfast nook, wet bar, and den. They wanted a cleaner look without clutter but didn’t want to go with an all-white kitchen, fearing it’s too trendy. Their kitchen was not utilized well and was not aesthetically appealing; it was very ornate and dark. The cooktop was too far back in the kitchen towards the butler’s pantry, making it awkward when cooking, so they knew they wanted that moved. The rest was left up to our designer to overcome these obstacles and give them their dream kitchen. We gutted the kitchen cabinets, including the built-in china cabinet and all finishes. The pony wall that once separated the kitchen from the den (and also housed the sink, dishwasher, and ice maker) was removed, and those appliances were relocated to the new large island, which had a ton of storage and a 15” overhang for bar seating. Beautiful aged brass Quebec 6-light pendants were hung above the island. All cabinets were replaced and drawers were designed to maximize storage. The Eclipse “Greensboro” cabinetry was painted gray with satin brass Emtek Mod Hex “Urban Modern” pulls. A large banquet seating area was added where the stand-alone kitchen table once sat. The main wall was covered with 20x20 white Golwoo tile. The backsplash in the kitchen and the banquette accent tile was a contemporary coordinating Tempesta Neve polished Wheaton mosaic marble. In the wet bar, they wanted to completely gut and replace everything! The overhang was useless and it was closed off with a large bar that they wanted to be opened up, so we leveled out the ceilings and filled in the original doorway into the bar in order for the flow into the kitchen and living room more natural. We gutted all cabinets, plumbing, appliances, light fixtures, and the pass-through pony wall. A beautiful backsplash was installed using Nova Hex Graphite ceramic mosaic 5x5 tile. A 15” overhang was added at the counter for bar seating. In the den, they hated the brick fireplace and wanted a less rustic look. The original mantel was very bulky and dark, whereas they preferred a more rectangular firebox opening, if possible. We removed the fireplace and surrounding hearth, brick, and trim, as well as the built-in cabinets. The new fireplace was flush with the wall and surrounded with Tempesta Neve Polished Marble 8x20 installed in a Herringbone pattern. The TV was hung above the fireplace and floating shelves were added to the surrounding walls for photographs and artwork. They wanted to completely gut and replace everything in the powder bath, so we started by adding blocking in the wall for the new floating cabinet and a white vessel sink. Black Boardwalk Charcoal Hex Porcelain mosaic 2x2 tile was used on the bathroom floor; coordinating with a contemporary “Cleopatra Silver Amalfi” black glass 2x4 mosaic wall tile. Two Schoolhouse Electric “Isaac” short arm brass sconces were added above the aged brass metal framed hexagon mirror. The countertops used in here, as well as the kitchen and bar, were Elements quartz “White Lightning.” We refinished all existing wood floors downstairs with hand scraped with the grain. Our clients absolutely love their new space with its ease of organization and functionality.

We needed to create some sort of statement on this wall. So we built a fireplace with custom shelves and cabinets to match. We made sure that the line from the fireplace matched the height of the cabinets to ensure very clean lines on this wall.

After finishing Devon & Marci’s home office, they wanted us to come back and take their standard fireplace and elevate it to the rest of their home. After determining what they wanted a clean and modern style we got to work and created the ultimate sleek and modern feature wall. Because their existing fireplace was in great shape and fit in the design, we designed a new façade and surrounded it in a large format tile. This tile is 24X48 laid in a horizontal stacked pattern. The porcelain tile chosen is called Tru Marmi Extra Matte. With the addition of a child, they needed more storage, so they asked us to install new custom cabinets on either sides of the fireplace and install quartz countertops that match their kitchen island called Calacatta Divine. To finish the project, they needed more decorative shelving. We installed 3 natural stained shelves on each side. And added lighting above each area to spotlight those family memories they have and will continue to create over the next years.

Bespoke bookcases and storages were created to display the vast collection of books. We even went over a structural column to get as much shelving as possible where frames found their space.
