Luxe Lewis Wharf

We were so excited to take a job up at Lewis Wharf in the North End of Boston. What an amazing location! We worked with our client a few years back on their kitchen remodel in Cohasset, so we were very familiar with their style and wants/needs. Because this remodel was in the city, our client decided to stray from the norm and add a little urban twist to this space.  We are so pleased with the way everything turned out and our client is as well, which is even more important!

Recent message from our Lewis Wharf client:

"Our kitchen turned out even more amazing than we anticipated!!!  The first thing we do when we enter our apartment is turn on the under cabinet and  glass cabinet lighting in the kitchen . . . and Voila!!! All of your help in choosing the cabinetry, hardware, appliances, countertops . . . right down to the "Details" . . . was invaluable!!! The master bath is a dream to use! Thank you for all of your advice and guidance!!!"

Tena's Design Objective: To provide my client with a compact yet comfortable space for entertaining. This space needed to reflect my Client’s impeccable taste while at the same time maintaining the original characteristics of this antique building’s Boston roots. This project was so much fun! I am very grateful to have been given this wonderful opportunity.

In this space, we used StarMark Cabinetry, Granite and Marble Countertops, and SubZero and Wolf Appliances.

Including Your Pets in the Kitchen

Problem: Where To Put The Pet’s Bowls?

 

Addressing the modern needs of a large family and incorporating every family member is necessary in designing the perfect kitchen—even including the family dog and cat!  This clever pet-food nook is another space saver, integrated inside a cabinet; no one trips over the food bowls anymore! Contact Kitchen & Bath Details to speak with a designer about where to put this design solution in your new kitchen!

We apologize for the grainy photos, but we just had to share how cool AND useful this cabinet can be in the kitchen or auxiliary room.

Emerald Green - Pantone's Color for 2013

Each year, Pantone, the world-renowned color experts, designate an official "color of the year".  For 2013 they've selected emerald green.  They describe the color as "lively, radiant and lush...a color of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony."  Who wouldn't love a little elegance and harmony in their home?  Pantone's website (www.pantone.com) is a great resource to check out a huge variety of colors and current color trends.  A pop of color is a fun way to give a room touch of personality, especially in the kitchen.  To help you make this the year of emerald green, we've selected some fabulous kitchen and home items shown below, including some products available through Kitchen & Bath Details!

Southcoast Magazine's Special Kitchen Feature

We were the featured "Kitchen & Bath Design Showroom" in the June/July 2008 issue of Southcoast Magazine. Again, some of the info in this article is a bit outdated (such as our address), but we wanted to share the overall piece on our blog.

Boston Kitchen Transformation - Fulton Court

Our Fulton Court project is complete! What a transformation!

Our clients' main objective was to open up the kitchen area, while keeping as much storage and functional space as possible. They also wanted a nice area to sit and eat with family and friends. Tena was able to design a new space which met all of our their needs. The end result is breathtaking! The white painted cabinetry and black granite countertops make the space look very elegant, yet comfortable!

 

Sending a big “thank you” to our clients for sharing the photos! We are thrilled that you love your new kitchen!
