Designer Amy Vroom ditched basic beige at every turn, opting for far more dramatic moments. In the dining room, she paired a Visual Comfort chandelier with a House of Leon dining table and custom-designed rug.
Vroom removed a wall to create a far more spacious primary bathroom. Blush-colored Zia Tile makes a serene statement.
Benjamin Moore Galapagos Turquoise was selected to balance the black-and-white statement atrium.
Ann Sacks' three-dimensional backsplash tile makes a strikingly subtle kitchen statement.
Sherwin Williams' Fresh Eucalyptus green is paired with terrazzo countertops to create a whimsical kids' bathroom.
Martin and Casey wrapped the interior in oriented strand board. The rough-and-ready finish contrasts with the cool tones and polished surfaces of the bathroom, which is clad in Polarity terrazzo from Fibonacci. “It’s a minimal approach maximized,” Martin says.
The kitchen evokes warm, modern flair with wooden cabinetry and a colorful backsplash.
The main residence was added onto the stone barn in 1964. Wood ceilings complement the brick and stone detailing, which is enhanced by warm light coming in via the side glass wall.

The kitchen now has much more counter space, thanks to the new layout, with a quartz slab Rossi found on “super sale.” The pantry doors are repurposed, and the backsplash is a terracotta tile that the designer has had in storage since 2017.

At the entry, Naber improved the welcome via a new door with a fresh coat of black paint and brass hardware. A Clé tile threshold and a hanging mobile from Anthropologie further spruce the spot.
Naber removed a sliding door and installed a four-foot extension in the kitchen to accommodate a stylish breakfast nook that overlooks the patio and backyard.
Now the living area flows gracefully into the dining room and connects the view to the backyard. The new eight-foot by 11-foot window on the back wall ensures lots of natural light and "a true indoor-outdoor feel," says Naber. "We have beautiful sunsets and love being able to look out the windows into our backyard."
In the new dining room, the wall is lined with built-in maple cabinetry and topped with a white quartz counter. Naber defined the bar area with floating shelves and a backsplash composed of Glazed Brick tile from Clé Tile. Knowing that the large expanse of the back wall would draw the eye, Naber wanted a unique installation for it: the Roke mural wallpaper from Anewall. "This was one of the main ideas I had going into this addition," Naber says. "I love how it looks like the ocean and really ties the indoor in with the outdoor."
The new patio connects to a fire pit lounge area via the wood walkway. Naber worked with McCullough Landscape to fashion the cement and rock patio. Decomposed granite replaced the grass, and Naber planted succulents from her wedding alongside cacti and native plants for a more drought-tolerant landscape.
Choosing a kitchen or bathroom countertop can be nerve-wracking, and we understand why—they can be one of the most expensive aspects of a renovation, with the added responsibility of impacting the aesthetics of a space. Read on as we work our way through the pros and cons of seven of the most common countertop materials.

With the help of California Closets, the homeowners maximized every square inch of space with shelving, drawers, and a countertop area for placement of various small appliances like a microwave, coffee maker, and tea kettle.
Previously, a small bathroom was located off the kitchen space. By relocating the bathroom elsewhere in the home, this freed up space for a large walk-in pantry where all the food and clutter could hide, and even the fridge.
Two of chef André Chiang’s restaurants have appeared on the annual World’s 50 Best Restaurants list. So it makes sense that at his new home in Taiwan, which he largely designed himself, the kitchen takes center stage. To outfit it, André worked with Vipp, the maker of everything from the black steel island and stainless-steel countertops to the faucets, cabinets, shelves, pendant light fixtures—even the tea kettle and trash bin.
The pergola overlooks the pool with the Baltic Sea in the distance. The couple built the home so that there would be as much outdoor space as indoor space.
The low-slung profile of the home was preserved, and all of the windows and doors were replaced for better insulation and energy efficiency.
