Larry Peterson Inc and Dickerson Nieman Realtors came to me and asked me to help to create the kitchen design and bathroom design for this new construction spec home. Our goal was to create an atmosphere that was really fresh and welcoming, something that would appeal to a majority of clients. 

 

The builder designed the initial layout and, together, we modified each room of the home to create a perfect open-concept two story. I selected materials with warmth and texture in a neutral grey pallet. Warm grey and white tones are the most popular right now, and they’re also very adaptable to different design styles. For the kitchen design, I chose mid-level cabinetry, custom granite countertops, and luxury vinyl flooring to create this gorgeous Midwestern oasis. I designed all of the custom installations, and also hand-selected furniture, fixtures and home décor. The whole look flows effortlessly from room to room. Almost every element of this design project came from Benson Stone, including the exterior brick, the fireplace and the lighting. 

 

This project was a lot of fun, because the builder and I got to combine our knowledge and experience to create a home that would be broadly appealing. We followed our instincts to build a home that the community would love. Did we succeed? Well… This spec home only lasted TWO DAYS on the market before it sold, and it inspired multiple other buyers to develop similar homes for themselves in the neighborhood! We are so very proud of this beautiful new construction project!

“We custom built our home and used Benson Stone Company for cabinetry and countertops. We worked with Erin and can’t say enough great things about her! She made our vision come to life! She had great suggestions and helped us every step of the way! We are so in love with our kitchen!” This Homeowner’s Review

 

When this young couple came to me, they were anxious to set the trend with an edge of Mid-Century Modern with their kitchen design in this brand new contemporary home. 

 

We used different shades of white in the cabinetry and quartz countertops to make a huge, bright impact. The consistent straight lines ground the room, while the unusual angles add interest. We went with a mix of brushed gold & natural wood accents to provide some depth and warmth. The awesome new bar stools and lighting fixtures give that extra pop, and the tall ceiling with a unique X pattern is the icing on this cake. All of these products came right from our store, so planning and budgeting the project was a breeze! 

 

Their large kitchen also features a hidden pantry that leads to the garage and laundry room and — you guessed it — we designed the laundry room too! Though we usually promote kitchens and baths, our clients often ask us to help with the design of bedrooms, living rooms, laundry rooms, etc. and we’re always more than happy to help! 

 

The Fosters love their remodeled kitchen & laundry room, and still receive compliments on it to this day.
