Dr. Pepper Kitchen

The title of this post isn't a joke (Dr. Pepper Kitchen), this really is Dr. Pepper's kitchen...Dr. Ellendee Pepper of Seattle.

Somehow this kitchen pulls modern and traditional together seamlessly. I love the stainless steel accent around the countertops, love the dark wood, but what really pleases me are the upper cabinets. I ran across this kitchen on Elle Decor's website, and in the article they say that the kitchen has a low ceiling. I think the unobtrusive, glass-doored uppers are perfect for opening up the room, keeping it light up top and they almost give the impression of windows.

What do you think? Is there anything you'd change?

Bang for your $$$

Many agree, the kitchen is the heart of a home; the place the family gathers and spends quality time. It might also be a deal maker or breaker for a home buyer.

Watch the short video below to see three couples who spent $40,000 each in remodeling their kitchens. Not only will they enjoy their new rooms for as long as they live in their house, but they'll also see a nice return on their investment when it comes time to sell their gorgeous homes.

What's in a knob?

When designing a kitchen or bathroom, sometimes the best way to go wild is with something small. Beautiful cabinets that will never go out of style can be dressed up with fun hardware.

These wild drawer pulls are very bohemian chic and can easily be changed on a whim as your style dictates without having to remodel your room.

For a super simple, edgy or modern look, we love this very simple piece of hardware. Sometimes less is more. (click here and scroll to the bottom to see a beautiful kitchen that exemplifies the "less is more theory")

You can still spice up a drawer or door without splashing wild colors throughout your kitchen. These knobs are simple, elegant and unique.

And then there are these lovely glass pieces of funkiness. I think they'd look amazing on light, painted cabinets or dark espresso-stained wood.

Custom closets transform a bedroom

Custom, built-in closets can transform a bedroom. Whether done in dark wood or painted white, the look is undeniably sophisticated. Built for aesthetic and utility, these closets were a pleasure to design and build.

Beautiful Kitchen with a Modern Edge

Welcome to our blog! I'd like to start things off with a little showcase of a kitchen we did for Holger and Julia Peens. The Peens family invited us to work on their beautiful home which overlooks the Gulf of Mexico. They are a very fun couple with a great eye for design and the confidence to do a very clean and modern look throughout their house.

This project was exciting from start to finish. With stainless steel channelling in the cabinetry, quality Blum-motion hardware and stainless interiors in all drawers, this is a kitchen unlike any other.
