What was originally a gloomy and outdated kitchen, soon became a bright and welcoming space. Dark cabinetry was cutting the space in half, which made the space feel like it was caving in on you. The challenge was to design a kitchen that stayed true to the family roots, while also creating a more open and warm environment. The long island allows for large gatherings and additional counter space when cooking with the kids. All the hardware aids into the crisp and simple feeling that the room delivers. One of the most show stopping parts of the room though is a custom backsplash. Not only does it portray a portrait of the family, but it also feeds into the personality of the space. Lastly, details such as the cottage sink, a window seat, and natural lighting really tie the room together.

Soft gray cabinetry combined with a beautiful blue glossy backsplash make this kitchen a showstopper. Using the most of the previous layout, this kitchen shows form as well as function. The marble countertop helps carry the brightness of the space while also adding to the sophisticated essence the space gives off. The soft gray cabinetry, which plays off the hues found in the marble, gives a polished look. With built in appliances, there’s a constant flow in the room that goes uninterpreted. On top of all the beautiful details, the room opens up to the natural beauty found in the backyard. The hanging chandelier connects the space to the rooms around it while also bringing a sense of warmth. Designed by Caroline Kerchoff and installed by Karr Bick Construction.

This kitchen looked sad prior to the remodel. The invasive columns made the kitchen feel small and cramped, as the previous island wasn’t designed well around them. The challenge was to redesign the kitchen to match the homeowner’s more contemporary tastes, while updating the layout and making the two imposing columns feel meant-to-be in the new design. The indigo color – such a striking blue color and so fun to design with – was chosen for a crisp, clean-lined, progressive look. All hardware accents are chrome to go with the neoteric feel. The pendants above the island were selected for their modern appearance, as well as for the glass to help keep the space feel open. The new island was designed around the columns while an applied wainscot decorative wood treatment was installed and paint matched the indigo color to make them feel built-in and purposeful. To top them off, the Ravelle wall sconces were installed within the columned wainscots for a bar-like feel. The backsplash tile is dynamic – it has varying shades of glossy grey colors which add texture and dimension. The quartz countertops are a dramatic statement with bold blue veins. An unexpected touch to the modernized […]

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 […]

Before it’s makeover, this kitchen was filled with slightly yellow tinted wood. From the ceiling to the floor, you were greeted with a single color. The green countertops attempted to break up this effect but was unsuccessful in its mission. Everything felt very dated. As you can see, things have changed for the better. Now, the kitchen is sleek, elegant, and polished. The white cabinetry contrasts perfectly against the dark wood floor. A blue island ties everything together while also presenting a calming feeling. Though the backsplash tiling sticks to the brighter color scheme, it also increases depth in the space. Also adding significantly to the kitchen is the perfectly paired range hood and chandelier. These two not only work perfectly with each other, but also tie in the contrasting elements of the room. Lastly, the once step-down closet transformed into a stunning mudroom. While it does enhance the aesthetics of the room, it also aids in storage and welcoming visitors back. Thoughtfully designed by Wendy.

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 […]

Before the remodel, this kitchen was best described as awkward. With a piano shaped island, the space felt inconvenient. The home owners were never happy with it, so when the built-in fridge was on the last legs of its life, they decided it was time for change. Not only were they envisioning a new kitchen, but they were also looking to upgrade the laundry room, pantry area, and office. Since all of it was meant to fit in the existing space, many drawings were done. The end result, as you can see, turned out to be more than beautiful. Now, everything fits perfectly together. The built-in appliances create a seamless flow between other kitchen elements. The most enchanting door makes the adjoining office space fit right in. Lastly, the matte black hardware pulls in other aspects of the space which helps create depth in contrast. Creative contrast designed by Janelle.

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 […]
