ABOUT THE PROJECT Family and friends are important to this family who wanted a beautiful, yet relaxed home for family times and entertaining. This custom-built home welcomes visitors with a charming country French façade, complete with arches and stonework. The

ARCHITECT: WES THOMAS DESIGNS, 281.565.6060 FAUX FINISHES: MARILYN GARBER OF GARBER FINE ART through the Designer

home’s interiors have a transitional classic style.

Texture was a big factor in the design from the iron railing to warm wood tones, rustic beams and natural stone. Antique light fixtures add character. Colors are kept soft in tones of butter, grey green and soft mocha with a splash of paprika. Special paint finishes on doors, cabinets and walls add interest and depth. The expansive kitchen opens to the breakfast room and family room to provide the heart of the first floor. A master suite upstairs with vaulted ceilings and expansive views provides a quiet retreat.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER Peggy Hull, ASID, RID, principal designer at Creative Touch Interiors has been creating beautiful and personal homes for clients in Houston for more than 20 years.

ABOUT THE PROJECT The newly remodeled outdoor oasis was the first step initiating the homeowner’s desire for a residence that would integrate comfortable elegance as well as reflect their sophisticated style.

This stately River Oaks home received a kitchen facelift, a perfect example of how to enhance a space without completely changing the footprint. Proper space planning,

RUGS: Emmet Perry BAY WINDOW REPLACEMENT: PREMIER REMODELING PAINT: CERTAPRO PAINTERS

along with appropriately scaled furniture in an updated color palette transformed this home with casual grace. The new design impacted all downstairs areas of the home, especially the kitchen, open family room, and the gracious master suite. The new flow within the spaces visually opens the rooms to maximize all areas and create a wonderful backdrop for entertaining friends and colleagues.

ABOUT THE PROJECT Set on a lot that backs up to the Hogg Bird Sanctuary and Bayou Bend, the home boasts lots of open space with high ceilings and large windows. In the kitchen, a turquoise banquette and irregular shaped table contrast with the many horizontal layers of stone and glass tile in this contemporary, yet earthy kitchen.

For the spa-inspired master bath, wrap-around vanities, designed with a continuous stone countertop, unify the space and create a natural flow. An oversized air tub anchors a wall of windows that naturally warms the space while providing privacy with textured glass. A steam room further connects the bath to nature by opening onto a sundeck. The Ambra tile that resembles ripples of water was installed in the steam/shower, which functions as a major focal point. Various gray tones of flooring, countertops, and walls are offset by the warm glow from mother-of-pearl shell mirror frames.

She asked for a very streamlined look but with dark stained cabinets and light counters and backsplash. One of the desired goals was to have two places to entertain their grandchildren within the kitchen.

The seating area for casual dining was relocated to the area below the two skylights, where a new decorative light fixture was placed to illuminate the table. Wendt Design Group extended the bar counter to accommodate three bar stools for the children. A small plasma TV was installed as well, and services either the bar or kitchen with a simple change in the arm direction.

Jones Interior Design 281.437.3307 ABOUT THE PROJECT This kitchen was designed in the Arts & Crafts style with decorative backsplash tiles from that period. The space is cleanlined and efficient. One of the clients is a culinary graduate and wanted this kitchen to truly be a working kitchen for a serious cook, so two generous islands were worked into the plan. Granite was used for the countertops and the rest of the backsplash is finished with white subway tiles.

Overhead lighting is provided by both recessed can lights and decorative blown glass pendants on a track. Upper windows and a nice-sized single window provide ample natural light as well. The colors and textures combine to create a welcoming center for the home.

1025 Richelieu Lane

ABOUT THE PROJECT The original kitchen in this Garden Oaks home was small and closed-off, but had plenty of storage. The design approach was

NICOLE BRUNO-MARINO Cabinet Innovations 713.461.6424

to open up the space by removing walls and keep the same amount of storage, while transforming the kitchen into a gathering place with a lounge and dining area.

The wall that backs up the bar area remained and was utilized for storage, while the other walls were removed to open up the space. The cooktop moved from the peninsula to a working island where a stainless hood was installed above. The new island provides the same amount of storage that was lost with the removal of the walls. The dinning table was relocated to the back side of the island, overlooking the pool. The former dining area became a lounge area with a dramatic light feature and an overstuffed chair.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER For more than a decade, Nicole has pulled from her extensive knowledge, creativity and organizational skills to expertly guide clients through the design, ordering and installation process.
