Transforming Spaces with Style
From kitchens to master baths, JK Design delivers innovative solutions that combine aesthetics and functionality. Below are highlights of some of Josette’s most stunning transformations seen in the pictures within this article:
Modern Kitchen Masterpiece
Gone are the dated kitchens of the early 2000s. This remarkable remodel features deep charcoal LVT plank flooring, a durable and modern foundation that replaces small, grout-heavy tile. Full-overlay cabinetry in putty-glazed finish pairs beautifully with satin nickel hardware, while upper cabinets with reeded glass inserts and stainless trim add a contemporary touch.
The island serves as the kitchen’s centerpiece, housing a Blanco black quartz sink, Delta chef’s faucet, and seating for casual dining. GE Café appliances, including a gas range, wine cooler, and a drawer microwave, enhance functionality. Completing the look is a stunning iridescent metallic backsplash that extends to the ceiling, paired with polished chrome stools and black LED pendant lighting.
A Spa-Like Master Bath
This master bath transformation took outdated features like platform tubs and diagonal square tiles and reimagined them into a serene retreat. A freestanding therapeutic tub now serves as a centerpiece, complemented by large-format tiles for a sleek, elongated look.
The shower, framed with glass walls and accented by a pebble-tiled floor, is both functional and elegant. Custom vanities with floating cabinetry, integrated lighting, and tower cabinets for storage further elevate the design. Semi-mount vessel sinks and optional shower jets add modern sophistication, turning this bathroom into a luxurious escape.
Powder Room Perfection
In this powder room remodel, removing a built-in shower allowed for a larger, more open layout. A free-floating vanity with integrated lighting is the centerpiece, paired with a vertical penny-tile mirror and decorative sconces. The faux-finished walls and dimensional metal wall plates designed by Paul Perduk Designs add depth and character, making this space a true showpiece.
Hollywood Glam Piano Room
This dramatic piano room embodies Hollywood glam with bold design choices. Dark black walls and oversized modern art create a striking backdrop, while the leopard-patterned carpet adds playful sophistication. Mirrored furniture and mixed metals enhance the room’s luxurious feel, showcasing how daring design can be both glamorous and cohesive.
Old World Meets Modern
A traditional gathering room was transformed into a transitional haven. Marble-look tile flooring replaced wood for a contemporary base, while Chesterfield black sofas and a custom neutral-toned rug modernized the space.
The room’s old-world charm remains in the custom stone fireplace and wood-paneled walls, which house a curated art collection. A gold metallic chandelier under a gold-leaf faux-finished vaulted ceiling serves as the room’s focal point, blending traditional and modern elements seamlessly.
