Kitchen of the Week: Open and Timeless With Organic Modern Style

No Comments



There was a lot these homeowners liked about their 2002 Spanish-style kitchen: the overall layout, rich stone tile flooring, decorative wood ceiling beams and its pro-style appliances. But overly ornate details on the cabinets, backsplash tile and green granite countertops didn’t fit their desired style. The couple lived in the home for a few years before the husband decided to gift his wife a kitchen remodel for her birthday.

They hired designer Sarah West to help them create a timeless look and feel with cleaner lines and an organic modern style. West responded by pairing custom rift-cut white oak cabinets and several greige upper cabinets with creamy white walls for a warm atmosphere that complements the earthy tones in the stone flooring and new zellige backsplash tile. A furniture-style island has seating on three sides for face-to-face conversation. A large plaster range hood offers clean lines, softened by an elegantly arched window.

Bathroom of the Week: Warm Organic Look in Green, White and Wood

No Comments



Tired of their boring and basic primary bathroom, this Austin, Texas, couple knew just where to turn for help. Designer Cameron Getter had already helped them choose furniture for their main living areas and update their guest bathroom, so they tapped her to update their kitchen and main bathroom as well.

The homeowners, who are parents of a toddler daughter, were looking for a soothing retreat with more warmth and an organic, spa-like feel. Getter removed the existing components, eliminated the tub (they have one elsewhere in the home) and relocated and enlarged the shower area. She also straightened out some angled walls. With the main design moves done, she introduced a warmer color palette with glazed aloe green ceramic tiles, a custom white oak vanity and brass details. Terrazzo-look porcelain tiles for the flooring and part of the low-curb shower add visual energy and interest.

Houzz Tour: Black, White and Wood With Soft Organic Touches

No Comments



These homeowners, parents of three daughters, made a move toward their retirement years when they bought this forever home outside Atlanta. Design-wise, they were starting some scratch, so friends recommended Meriwether Design Group. After checking out the designers’ work on Houzz, the couple called the firm to help them make their new build their own. Designer Meriwether McAdams had a hand in every inch of the design, including the cabinetry, finishes, lighting, furniture and architectural details such as ceiling beams, paneling and a new fireplace surround.

“They were getting close to having an empty nest, and this house is within walking distance of Marietta Square,” McAdams says. The square is a popular draw in Marietta, as it’s full of cute shops and restaurants. The couple knew they wanted neutrals, particularly contrasting black and white. The designer worked closely with them to add comforting organic and soft touches that keep the black-and-white contrast from feeling too stark.

Bathroom of the Week: Organic Modern Style With a Coffee Bar

No Comments



These Littleton, Colorado, homeowners knew exactly what they wanted to get out of their bathroom renovation, right down to the cabinet hardware. In fact, they presented interior designer Bonnie Bagley Catlin with the most thorough Google Doc design she’d ever seen in her professional career. “They knew the finishes they liked, that they wanted organic modern style, and they even had determined the subcontractors that they wanted to use,” she says. “What they really needed help with is my specialty. Often clients come to me knowing that their bathroom is broken. They know that it doesn’t function or flow correctly, but they don’t know what’s wrong. I know how to give them a layout that will work for them. After we get that right, we can make it beautiful.”

In this case, a primary sitting room led through a hallway to the primary bathroom. Two separate vanities and a tub with a very large deck made the flow awkward and wasn’t making the most efficient use of the space. The homeowners also wanted to borrow space from the bathroom to enlarge their closet. Bagley Catlin took all these factors into account when reconfiguring things. The result is a light-filled bathroom full of bells and whistles, such as dual jet sets in the shower, special storage inserts in the cabinetry and a stunning new coffee bar that helps the couple wake up and caffeinate on the way to their morning showers.
