complimented with an inlayed floor. Honed marble was used for the floor and gloss marble for the walls.
What you don't see is the make-up
area and mirrored cabinets for storage.
The ceiling had fallen into the space and the walls were very damaged.
Her floor was one inch + higher on the right then on the left.
Our first order of business was
insulate the area above her ceiling and drywall so the room could be heated. .
We added visual space by using clear glass and a one piece toilet only 15" wide. Amber decided
on a tub that featured multiple water jets and an arrangement of pulsating air jets. Her
fixtures were polished chrome and complimented with polished brass accents.
The struggle was to make Amber's small bath exciting and usable! We used next level product throughout.
The veined marble top accented the one of a kind gold leafed Italian bowl
The accent strip around the room is made of natural polished stone. The accent lighting
comes from the round mirror. Amber is also using that mirror for a night light.
Amber is very happy and enjoying her new space.
She tells us she has to get used to all of the water and air jets. There are lots of buttons on the tub and
new valves she has to learn to use. What an experience!
If the space were larger we could have gotten better photos ..And, the other side of the space.
This is David's space below.
this space work was incredible. We didn't expect a 1965 house would have plaster walls. We never
expected to replace most of the electrical wiring. We started by installing a ceiling exhaust fan and
to get to the outside had to pierce 15" of block and brick.
Anyway, it now looks great! The customer helped choose the new ceramic and stone surfaces - and we were off!
Please note, if you can, the diamond accents in the floor [same as the back splash] leading
the eye to the new wooden blinds.
On the right and out of
camera range is an 84" tall cabinet combined with a wide drawer
unit. A viewing
mirror sits over the drawers; the counter top is the same acrylic
as the vanity top. Lots of storage now!

Project!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Camille's
We finished Camille's
kitchen and it is exceptional! The tall and base
cabinets are in a textured black; the
upper units are finished in brushed aluminum. A number of doors
were prepped for glass and the owner picked 1/2" reeded & it is .
semi transparent. The kitchen uses a number of custom
cabinets. The most difficult cabinet was the angled corner unit made
96" high with two lazy susans.. And, to see all of this you have to
pass
thorough a space filled with antique furniture.
What
an unexpected surprise for the eye!
wood floor. The floor is made of poplar - normally a soft wood but it has been pressurize and it is tough! Its reddish brown tones
mix with complimentary colors found it the wall tile and counter top. The combination is perfect!
Add stainless steel quality appliances - including a "stand alone" exhaust system and the kitchen is exciting and wonderful.
There were additional places we wanted to add low voltage lighting but could not.
Textured glass in the cabinets and "satellite" lighting over the countertop .
There is a wine rack above the frig.
We are looking for a way to
complete the accessories over top of the lift up aluminum frames.
Perhaps a handcrafted glass clock? Soft sculpture, pottery to
blend in with the back splash and floor, etc.
Camille, still officiating!
Her "pet peeve" was to leave the pin up light on the wall behind
her which
is characteristic of the real age of the building. At one time
the lighting energy source was natural gas.
Camille selected simple and "clean" hardware for opening her doors and drawers.
Notice the bottom drawer in the sink cabinet and the flip down tray for sponges, etc.
the bottom; we astonishingly were able to get a trash pullout on the right of the box, the garbage disposal on the left and
a drying rack for towels behind the two doors. And - also a tilt down tray to hold her sponges, etc.
What an accomplishment to house all of that in a sink base! Camille is happy and we are happy she is happy.

My
Accent Kitchen
Like a Cecil B. DeMille movie my kitchen took a long time in the making. I pored through countless kitchen magazines. I couldn't decide on what
kind of cabinets I wanted. What could I have besides granite counter tops? Meanwhile Elliot of Accent Kitchen and Bath was meticulously putting
together a design that would work for my space, which happens to be housed in a building 100 years old.
"What do you think of this color pallet? " From a collection of samples, he showed me black for the high cabinets and brushed aluminum for the
others. I liked the idea of sleek and contemporary as a contrast to the traditional decor in the rest of the apartment. That being decided we could
then set a date for the renovation.
Choosing the flooring, tiles for the back splash, hardware for the cabinets and material for the countertops took a long time and foot work for Elliot
and me. I enjoyed the adventure and learned a lot along the way. The end result was a state of the art kitchen, well planned down to the last detail and
beautifully designed.
I should mention that Elliot was the designer for my bathroom renovation a few years ago so I knew the work would be well done by his team of Gene
and Marc, two very talented workers, were not satisfied unless the work was done to perfection. They made useful suggestions along the way that
were often implemented. They were punctual and always left the workplace neat and orderly. They could overcome any adversity and working in a
building this old provides many unforeseen challenges. One of the problems the workers faced was getting the cabinets and new gas range through
the doorways. The delivery men and neighbors were sure it couldn't be done but Gene worked calmly and slowly to accomplish what was thought to
be impossible.
I give Accent Kitchen and Bath high recommendation for a kitchen or bathroom suited to ones needs incorporating your personal style.
