See more about our award winning design team here: https://karrbick.com/meet-our-kitchen-and-bath-designers/ This home resides on a beautiful historic street in Webster Groves but it needed more space, as often is the case for old homes. For the new kitchen there was an addition added to the home, but the challenge for Rebekah was to design the space to look old and intentional for the age and architecture of the antique home. Every detail was approached with care to look delicately antiquated. A statement piece was the simple moss green backsplash tile that decorates all the exposed walls and backsplash areas in the kitchen. It’s a simple look – age-old and classic.  The rich walnut wood stained cabinets were chosen for all the base cabinets. The upper cabinets and tall columns are a light off white color that look timeless, without the brand-new look. All the wall cabinets were designed with brackets, as well as the base cabinets, which take on a timeless, traditional approach. The Ilve range is a custom-made Italian range that was built to order; It is a work of culinary art that was designed to look old. Antique brass island pendants were chosen for […]

Designed by Rebekah Murphy, installed by Karr Bick Construction. Meet Rebekah here: https://karrbick.com/meet-our-kitchen-and-bath-designers/ The soft, warm hues coming from the beautiful wood in this kitchen find balance with sleek black and white lines. Beautiful wood grain draws the eye in this large and bright light-filled space, while the sleek white perimeter cabinetry and black accents keep everything looking crisp. Grey glass subway tiles serve as the backdrop for the distinctive quartz range backsplash design, coupled with the dramatic black hood with stainless straps – which is accentuated by a dark stained wood shiplap ceiling. The ceiling design was tricky to execute as Rebekah had to incorporate a column to support the load of the house, yet this column sat in a peculiar area of the kitchen which was also on the edge of the sitting room. After much problem-solving we tied in the sitting area ceiling beam design into the column. All the shiplap installation helped to mask the strange ceiling situation, as well as the column conundrum. Captivating Ralph Lauren and Restoration Hardware lighting fixtures in matte black iron and metal finishes top off the look with a refined, unexpected and also equestrian finish. The bold island pendants are […]

Intricately designed by Rebekah Moore Murphy, expertly installed by Karr Bick Construction. https://karrbick.com/meet-our-kitchen-and-bath-designers/ Rebekah believes this master bathroom is a sanctuary, as stylish as it is soothing. The light wood stained cabinets have an airy note; slender silhouettes, and glass and mirrored designs incorporated within. The decorative mullion mirrors in the tall vanity cabinet are perfect for reflecting light and opening-up the space. Juxtaposing the smooth wood tones with the rich marble tile is a perfect combination; especially as the wainscot woodwork, trim and paint plan reflect these two juxtaposed colors. The layout of this new bathroom was hard for the homeowners to visualize, as the tall arched cathedral ceiling meant that the toilet room ceiling would need to partially float in the space. It was executed with perfect balance as the floating room mimics the same size as the tall vanity cabinet which flank the door opening. An unexpected touch is the painted woodwork ceiling which adds dimension to the overall space. Even the crown molding was matched for both tall columns. Adding a few gorgeous accents—glimmering polished nickel sconces, the gilded gold chandelier, and the breathtaking Schumacher fabric roman window shades — enriches the look and feel of […]

Designed by Rebekah Moore Murphy, installed by Karr Bick Construction. https://karrbick.com/meet-our-kitchen-and-bath-designers/ Webster Groves has so many beautiful homes and this historic home sits on a particularly stunning street. This kitchen needed a lot of work prior to the remodel; there was an addition which added square footage to the house but didn’t have a kitchen that flowed well or afforded much space for storage. The addition began with very thick walls that looked and felt cumbersome to the layout. Rebekah’s new design moved an old window up so that the perimeter could extend further and offer new sink placement under the window, instead of in the island. Two symmetrical cabinets that sit on the counters with glass X mullions were designed to showcase the homeowner’s beautiful dishes and offer an added layer of charm for the kitchen. The range tile is a Walker Zanger blue ceramic decorative tile which perfectly fits the charm of the homeowner. Wainscot woodwork was added to the thick addition walls and soffit to make them feel intentional and aesthetically pleasing, as well as a beadboard ceiling to echo the age and style of the history of the house. A peninsula was added to the kitchen […]

Kitchen Designer: Rebekah Moore Murphy The colors of this kitchen and its new design reflect the beauty of the homeowners’ souls and the light they bring into the world each day. Here lived a young and active family who loved their charming Clayton Tudor house as it is old with lots of character and close to their daughters’ school. However, prior to the home remodel, the kitchen was disconnected from the rest of the house with zero sight line from the kitchen to any other room. This posed a problem for the busy family as their time at home was often spent in disconnected spaces and this was precious time that the family was missing out on with each other. It was time to take action! Rebekah removed the wall between the kitchen and dining room and designed a peninsula with a really beautiful and unique hutch at the end.  The combination kept the formality of the dining room but gave us the layout we needed for their everyday family life. As far as the materials, we wanted the kitchen to look classic and to belong in the 1929 home, but we also wanted function and resilience.  Because the kitchen […]
