Custom Kitchens Inc.
Once left to decay, this late-18th-century house in Charles City County is undergoing extensive restoration by its current owners. When the location of the original kitchen proved difficult to pinpoint, they added their dream kitchen in a recently renovated wing of the house.

A partially finished basement was transformed into a state-of-the-art wine cellar for a local connoisseur, a partner in a California vineyard. The oak-barrel vaulted ceiling, redwood racks and brick-veneered walls channel elements found in his vineyard’s wine country tasting room.

This quirky Quonset hut was a corrugated metal shell before its recent transformation into a modern multifunctional outbuilding on a Powhatan estate. A kaleidoscope of vivid color, graffiti and light art and sculpture add to the amped-up style of the hut, which functions as a guesthouse, meeting space, gym and kitchen for a professional chef.
The cabinets are Oxblood Red by Fine Paints of Europe. (Photo by Aquatree Designs)

A siren call for relaxation and fun, this dramatic wet bar was designed for a local design-savvy couple to replace an existing bar with outdated cabinetry and a dark countertop. The new bar makes better use of its alcove space with vibrant red cabinetry, a pink rainbow fusion quartzite countertop and brass hardware.
The renovation opened a small, enclosed kitchen to the adjacent family room. (Photo by Aquatree Designs)
Entire House
Lane Homes & Remodeling
A whole-house renovation designed to take this 1960s-era ranch home back to its midcentury roots stripped away heavy paneling and Victorian-style detailing added in a previous renovation. The revised footprint features an open floor plan and midcentury design elements.

Contractors transformed a builder-grade primary bath in a new townhouse from basic and blah to a spa-like oasis with luxury elements such as a steam shower, bidet toilet and makeup vanity. A wall mural, floral fabric, marble and mosaics add to the ambiance.
