Accent on Cabinets was challenged to create a kosher kitchen for their client, which typically needs more space because Kosher requires you to keep meat and dairy separate. The original kitchen was approximately 250 square feet, but the designer more than doubled the space. A scullery was added to meet the demanding needs of Kosher guidelines and accommodate large family gatherings. A wall from the kithcen to the family room was knocked down, and the powder room was moved to a different location.

Castle Design created a timeless white palette mixed with subtle hints of black in this kitchen remodel. To infuse an element of excitement the designer chose to incorporate black for an instant dash of chic. The beautiful quartz material seen throughout the room provides a range of soft black veining that adds pattern and visual interest. The mixed metal custom range hood is the focal point of the kitchen and features steel-and-brass details. Edgy brass counter stools at the island continue the brass look. Above the island hang two glass globe pendants from Savoy House.

This newly renovated kitchen is influenced by the elegance and charm of traditional American architecture. Designed by Castle Design and MDG Renovations, the kitchen features unique craftsmanship with raised-panel cabinetry, an intricate coffered ceiling and ironwork accents. Inspired by the home’s grand staircase, hand-forged iron brackets flank the custom built-in hood. Perfectly proportioned casework and cabinetry set the tone for the space. The design team was challenged to create a space that flowed nicely while also making the new kitchen feel more open.

A dark, lonely kitchen unchanged for 40 years lacked natural light and connectivity. With the goal to revitalize the dated space working with limited square footage and the necessity to retain existing soffits and exposed ceiling beams, designers Alspaugh Kitchen + Bath and Castle Design transformed the kitchen design. To maximize the sense of space, the designers focused on blurring the boundary between the kitchen and its surrounding spaces. A U-shaped plan with an island for seating was the ideal solution.

After a hiatus in 2021 and 2022 while the new Jack C. Taylor Visitor Center was under construction, the Orchid Show will be held in the brand-new Emerson Conservatory.

For most of the year, the Garden’s permanent orchid collection lives in greenhouses, where they are cared for by horticulture staff. Then, each winter, they migrate to the Orchid Show, where visitors can see them while they are in bloom.

Winter months can make it difficult for gardeners to flex their green thumbs. Give your interiors a boost by propagating your indoor plants to encourage new growth and add greenery to gloomy interiors.

There are three ways to propagate a plant: cutting, dividing or using offsets (otherwise known as “pups”). Depending on the type of plant you have, certain techniques can be beneficial or harmful when it comes to sprouting new growth.

Before you begin, some basic items to have on hand include scissors, a sharp knife, new growing pots and potting soil.
