Sleek & Stylish – New Home Design

I am so proud to show off this stunning newly-built home! The homeowner wanted a classy design with some unique, modern touches and I think we really nailed it.

This home features a huge variety of materials that were selected and coordinated right here at Benson Stone Co. Being able to lay out all of these material samples in one showroom really makes the design process run much more smoothly. It’s easy to stick to a budget, and to visualize how the whole home is going to look when it’s finished. Here are a few of the highlights:

In the kitchen, you’ll find custom-built Marquis kitchen cabinets with frosted glass uppers and modern floating shelves. If you flip through the photos below, you’ll also notice a mini wine cooler built into the kitchen island. And speaking of the island… How about that two-tiered countertop! This was a really unique feature, with jet black Supernova granite layered on top of Monte Blanc quartzite for a multi-dimensional raised bar effect.

The star of the dining room is the extra large Desmond dining table in a deep Portobello finish by Universal furniture. The square style table legs carry on the sleek, geometric look we’re going for in this home.

I’ll also take a moment to praise the gorgeous custom fireplace, surrounded by a full-height grey tile facing to create some structure in the open floor plan home. Our team of master craftsmen installed the linear gas fireplace by Fireplace Xtrordinaire, complete with decorative crushed bronze glass.

Finally, our trusted flooring team installed hardwood, carpet and tile throughout the house.

Scandinavian Cheer — Kitchen Remodel

I’m so proud of this lovely kitchen remodel in Rockton, IL. This one’s got a beautiful transitional style — a little bit shabby chic, and a little bit Scandinavian.

For this project, we chose two-tone custom cabinetry, with white for the perimeter and a cool charcoal blue for the kitchen island. The uppers feature glass doors, which are great for showing off a cute dish set and adding depth to the design. The brushed gold hardware matches the hardware on the boutique appliances. Have you ever seen such a pretty refrigerator and stove?

We chose snowy white quartz for the countertops, and they’re complimented by a whimsical marble mosaic tile backsplash. The natural-looking LVT floors add a slightly rustic touch. Finally, the cozy upholstered bar stools and the evergreen decor make the room homey and warm.

Overall, we achieved a very cheerful, welcoming look in this new kitchen, and the homeowner is thrilled!

Lively Boho — Kitchen Remodel

I’m totally in love with this boho style kitchen remodel project we did in Roscoe, IL. This young family had a dark wood, 70’s-style kitchen that was cramped and a little dated. We really opened up the space and gave it a fresh, vibrant feel. This happy home features the following from Benson Stone Company…

Custom cabinets by Marquis in oyster white paint, including kitchen perimeter, peninsula, pantry, and built-in china cabinet in the living room. All get a touch of elegance with modern Jeffrey Alexander brushed gold hardware.

The perimeter cabinets are topped with Superwhite polished quartz countertops. Paired up with white gloss subway tile backsplash, this is a very popular combo for a clean and bright look in the kitchen. Of course, the peninsula is the real knock-out, covered in elegant, jet-black Nero Marquina quartz with a dramatic waterfall edge. Special compliments to our own team of granite craftsmen for the fabrication and install in this gorgeous kitchen.

Finally, we installed Regal Maple engineered hardwood flooring by Eagle Creek throughout the kitchen, front entry, living room, dining room, master bedroom, and hallway.

What a beauty!

Light & Airy Interior Design — Newly Built Home

Hats off to Erin and these homeowners for the elegant collaborative interior design in this newly built home!

We’re excited to show off the design work in this bright, spacious new home. This beautiful new construction features lovely design elements throughout, but we want to highlight just a few of them.

The kitchen showstopper is the Calacatta Luccia polished quartz counters and full height backsplash. This marble-look classic will stand the test of time with dramatic gray veining on a creamy white background. It’s both elegant and easy, requiring little to no maintenance through the years. The bathroom vanities also feature cloud white quartz, for a fresh, bright look.

The countertops throughout the home were fabricated here in the Benson Stone Co granite shop and installed by our own team of expert granite craftsmen. We’re so proud to say that we’ve been voted the area’s #1 Granite Shop thanks to their dedication to excellence!

We chose DuraSupreme knotty alder cabinets with a Hudson panel in a cashew stain on the kitchen island, and in white paint on the perimeter. Knotty alder is a more rustic species, with smooth hardwood with a straight grain pattern and coloring. The knots vary in size and distribution and include tight, sound knots as well as open and split knots, giving the wood a uniquely informal appearance.

We also custom designed the white birch built-in entertainment cabinets and the bathroom vanities.

We used Oak style luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the living areas. This style features extra-long planks for a grand sense of scale plus enhanced painted bevels for ultra-realistic wood looks. Luxury vinyl floors can be installed in high-traffic and high-moisture areas, so they’re a strong choice for just about any room in the house. Special compliments to our own in-house team of flooring installers for the beautiful craftsmanship in this home!

Finally, the Suave Bianco tile in bathroom, which was installed by the Benson Stone Co tile team. With its pure white color and delicate contrasting grey veins, this luminous style is perfect for luxurious design spaces.

We’re so proud to feature this outstanding home interior design project.

Brilliant Kitchen Remodel

This elegant design features custom Marquis cabinets with brushed gold hardware. We used stained hickory hardwood on the lower cabinets and island to ground the design, and painted white on the uppers to uplight the space and make it appear larger.

The cabinets are topped with snowy white Hanstone Montauk quartz, which was fabricated and installed by our own Benson Stone Co team of expert granite craftsmen. We’re proud to say that we’ve been voted the area’s #1 Granite Shop thanks to their dedication to excellence. Our talented tile installers completed the glossy subway tile backsplash.

The soft blonde engineered hardwood plank flooring provides a light base, which opens up the room. Our in-house team of flooring craftsmen provide top-quality hardwood installation, which improves the value of the home.

Finally,  the striking black & gold pendant lighting over the kitchen island adds the finishing touch, along with the popular porcelain farmhouse sink.

Shabby Chic — Kitchen Remodel

This kitchen remodel is just too pretty to miss! We’re so proud to show off another awesome project from our super talented designer, Kayla.

These folks chose top quality Woodharbor cabinetry, with a white painted perimeter and a soft grey stained wood for the island. And did you notice the built-in wine bottle cubbies in the island? Custom details like this give the room a craftsman feel, and it’s a super handy for hosting dinner parties!

The cabinets are topped with polished quartz countertops, which were fabricated and installed by our own Benson Stone Co team of expert granite craftsmen. We’re proud to say that we’ve been voted the area’s #1 Granite Shop thanks to their dedication to excellence.

Finally, the rustic, multi-length luxury vinyl flooring contributes to the warm and weathered atmosphere of this shabby chic design. Our own trusted flooring team provided top-quality installation, and coordinated perfectly with the rest of the remodel crews.

This beauty was truly a collaborative effort, because this crafty couple installed the backsplash and built that awesome industrial lighting fixture themselves! These homeowners are in love with their new kitchen, thanks to a unique blend of styles that all harmonize perfectly. Amazing work to our Benson Stone team!

Classic Beauty — Kitchen Remodel

For this kitchen remodel, we chose ceiling-height beech wood cabinets by Marquis in a rich Mocha color for both the island and the perimeter. This brand makes a high-quality custom cabinet product, and they turned out great.

Our talented granite craftsmen created the lovely, durable grey-beige granite countertops. We also chose Somerset handcrafted hickory hardwood flooring, which adds depth to the room and also adds considerable value to the home. Finally, we completed the design with those big, bright glass pendant lights, and handmade Canadel dining stools upholstered in a stain-proof dove grey fabric.

Here at Benson Stone, we specialize in creating high-quality kitchen designs while staying within the client’s budget. I’m proud to say that we pulled off a look that’s timelessly stylish and built to last a lifetime.

Benson Stone provides complimentary interior design work to all of our customers as part of the complete kitchen remodel package. We want to make sure you have a smooth and well-coordinated experience with us.

Warm Traditional — Kitchen Remodel

This young couple came to us because they wanted to remodel the kitchen in their new home, and turn it into something elegant and timeless.

We went for a really classy, traditional style in this kitchen with the dark stained Woodharbor cabinetry and glass accent doors. This high-quality custom cabinetry features a some handy practical designs, including pull-out spice shelves and a hidden built-in cutting board for extra counter space. The island and the perimeter cabinets are topped with soft, polished granite countertops from our own fabrication shop. The mosaic tile backsplash compliments them perfectly with a palette of olive and antique white. Then we added a more contemporary touch with sleek pendant lighting over the island.

Finally, the homey décor finishes off this kitchen remodel project, and this couple is ready to host a cheerful family dinner!

We pulled off a high-class look in this beautiful kitchen, but the homeowners were thrilled at how easy it was to stay within budget when you plan your remodel at Benson Stone! Here’s what the couple had to say, once their project was finished:

As part of the big project we definitely went out to other stores. We were looking at prices and what we found out was Benson’s prices were better than the other places we went, but also working with the Benson’s team we had options across the board. 

It was extremely valuable to us to have everything in one spot at Benson’s. We could go low, medium, or high. Benson really worked with us and gave us the option to where if we wanted a certain price, we could hit that and still get what we wanted as far as a custom design.

We look forward to meeting with you and getting started!

Urban Modern — Kitchen Remodel

This couple came to me because they wanted an modern, urban-style kitchen remodel.

 

They have a beautiful home right on the river, which they were renovating to fit their contemporary taste.  We installed an awesome variety of custom cabinetry throughout the kitchen. We chose stained bamboo for the lower cabinets, frosted white glass above the sink, and a custom metal garage-door style tower cabinet. White quartz countertops around the sink contrast the brown quartz on the kitchen island, and both show off an elegant waterfall edge. Thanks to our team of experts and our state-of-the-art technology, the granite shop at Benson Stone Co is able to offer a level of quality and craftsmanship that you won’t find anywhere else in the area.

 

Stainless steel lends a cool touch on the fixtures, appliances, and bar stools, and it’s mimicked in the metallic backsplash as well. Finally, the beautiful tile flooring adds even more texture and versatility to the room. Our trusted flooring crew did a beautiful job with this tile installation, as usual!

 

Once the project was finished, the kitchen was completely transformed! It was now sleek and efficient, and perfect for hosting a classy cocktail party.

 

I loved working with the couple on creating the modern kitchen of their dreams, and bringing their personal touch to the home.
