A couple quick snapshots of a nearly complete bath remodel in Boulder. What we love about this bathroom: Mixture of interesting materials - limestone, porcelain, marble, quartz...the lighting...free standing tub and floor mount tub filler, and mostly that shower!

Favorite Products from KBIS 2015
in Updates, Educational
Below are photos and short descriptions of some of my favorite new and innovative products from KBIS 2015. Held annually, this show is a great way for manufacturers and service providers to connect with designers and other industry pros. The show provides quite a bit of inspiration for me. The ideas I see here often translate into new and innovative concepts and I look forward to translating what I've found into tangible designs for my customers.
The theme that runs through this year's show is integration of technology into the home. Touchless plumbing fixtures, home automation systems, countertops that charge mobile devices, new manufacturing techniques, and integrated smart lighting are just a few of the ways that manufacturers are changing the way we live in and use our homes. It's certainly an exciting time to be remodeling or building.

A Modern Bathroom in Greenwood Village - Scouting Shots
Scouting shots from a recent bathroom remodel in Greenwood Village. Here are some of the highlights...
Cracked glass floor detail...Axor tub filler and faucets...custom Anegre veneer high polish cabinetry.
We used a really great luminescent tile for an accent in the shower. The wall tile is a 12x24 porcelain that is very similar to crema marfil marble.
Axor fixture, shown in front of the niche we built for additional storage. The storage niche is great for the homeowners' electric toothbrushes and has its own LED lighting and GFCI receptacles.
Shower niche
The free standing tub is by Hydro Systems, and the tub filler is the Axor Massaud. Striking!

This European-inspired kitchen is truly one of a kind. The high gloss finish was actually created using the same process that car detailers use to get a reflective shine out of automobiles. The color is called Gauntlet Gray from Sherwin Williams. We really liked it because it actually reads a bit lavender once sprayed on the cabinets.
The high gloss cabinetry is contrasted by pure white Caesarstone countertops (Blizzard 2141) and a matte gray finish for all the base cabinets
Channel construction eliminated the need for any hardware below the countertops...

So as you can see the hood is not installed and the backsplash is also yet to be installed. Here's a picture of the tile that will be used in conjunction with a 12x36 pure white tile on the splash.
The marble accents in this mosaic should provide some warmth and implied texture to the kitchen...
I also designed some refined cabinetry for the pantry. It's minimalistic by design and provides tons of storage for coats, cleaning supplies, cook books, and more.
The pantry provides functional storage and keeps mops, brooms, and coats out of sight.
I specified all opaque white glass doors for the wall cabinetry. Blum Aventos hinges provide a "wow factor" when opening and closing the cabinets.
The lift up hinges are super silky.
