Charlotte, NC

This home blends modern design with timeless function, showcasing thoughtful details from the kitchen to the baths and beyond. The heart of the home features a striking European style home, where sleek cabinetry, a bold custom hood, and a sculptural island create a seamless mix of style and utility. Warm metals, luxe finishes, and clever storage solutions carry throughout the spaces, bringing both elegance and everyday practicality to family living.

Kitchen Perimeter

Walker Woodworking

We teamed with interior designer Melodie Durham, of Durham Designs & Consulting, LLC, and stepped out of our comfort zone to create a cutting-edge contemporary European style interior. We are pleased with the end results and guarantee you will not forget this stunning kitchen. The designs feature the latest high-gloss slab front in a product called Brillante, offered by Richelieu. Featured Designer: Melodie Durham, Durham Designs & Consulting.

The kitchen perimeter features Brillante Laser Blanco cabinets with a sleek vertical grain, built in a frameless style and paired with polished Calacatta Gold quartz countertops. A 4-foot Galley Workstation adds plenty of function. This European contemporary design shines with a mix of metals from the custom hood to the hardware. Tucked behind doors is a spacious scullery for storing kitchen essentials, while two full galley workstation sinks make cooking, entertaining, and teamwork effortless.

Kitchen Island

The island adds contrast to the Brillante perimeter with a bold pop of color, painted Pratt & Lambert™ 2304 Rubidoux in a glossy finish. Built with inset construction and topped with polished Calacatta Gold quartz, it’s as functional as it is stylish. A 3-foot Galley Workstation anchors the space, while a clever paper towel drawer keeps everyday essentials tucked neatly out of sight.

Wet Bar

The wet bar is finished in Benjamin Moore Fairview Taupe (gloss) with inset cabinetry and Mehndi Wilsonart countertops. Clear glass doors with puck lighting create a sleek display, while a keypad lock keeps liquor secure. Rounding it out are a built-in wine refrigerator and ice maker—perfect for entertaining.

Bathroom

Master Bath
Shades of soft and deep blue set a calming, spa-like tone in the master bath. The vanity is elevated on furniture-style gold metal feet, blending elegance with function. Rounded hardware complements the mirrors and sconces, tying the design together with subtle sophistication.

Powder Bath
The powder bath takes on a more dramatic flair with a floating vanity crafted from Brillante cabinetry and accented by a walnut trim edge. Gold hardware adds a touch of ornamentation, while the open, airy design of the vanity keeps the space feeling light. Paired with the patterned wallpaper, sculptural mirror, and warm sconces, it’s a modern statement with timeless style.

The foyer includes a built-in drop zone designed to keep everyday clutter at bay. Open cubbies, hooks, and pull-out bins provide easy storage for shoes, bags, and accessories, making it a practical yet stylish feature for keeping the entryway organized.
