We’ve been working on some great projects with Nickel’s Cabinets, that we are planning to photograph in the near future. Nickel’s is amazing for truly custom, European-style, overlay cabinetry. Their attention to detail, and willingness to produce truly custom solutions is nearly unheard of in a production shop. You can see some of the super custom stuff they are working on in their Instagram!

New Door Styles!

Reeded Doors

This reeded door is available in wood and painted finishes. 

Also available with a narrow flat frame of 5/8” and 1” widths.

Athens Door

This slatted door is available in wood and painted finishes. 

Only available in frame-less, and can be customized in increments of 1 1/8” for equal spacing.


 

We’ve also been collaborating with a new semi-custom supplier for jobs that require less customization, a more budget-friendly price point and a quicker production. 

Sunrise cabinets out of BC, Canada has recently undergone a huge overhaul and modernization of their production facilities. They are ready to produce all the kitchens! 

Their cabinets are also European-style, full overlay cabinets with all Grass hardware. Their large shop and automated in-house production means they can produce many, many kitchens, very quickly. 

New Door Style!

Portaglass Doors

Ultra-thin, back-painted glass is mounted to a matching or complimentary, solid color, door. The effect is a perfectly smooth, durable, glossy surface.

This door is made in-house, allowing semi-custom sizing and excellent quality control. 

Available in several standard colors, and working on custom options soon!

Santa Monica bathrooms

This recently photographed bathroom project in Santa Monica is now featured on our ‘bathrooms’ tab on the website.

We completely remodeled the master and guest bathrooms with all new fixtures, flooring, cabinetry and hardware. The master shower was re-worked to be large and luxurious with an easy, curb-less entry and designer grab bars for aging-in-place.

These bathrooms were done using Furniture Guild cabinets. All plumbing fixtures are Samuel Heath.

Salt Lake City

As much as ML-Designs loves a collaboration, sometimes it's fun to just do a job directly with great clients.

This modern kitchen services a family with 4 teen-aged kids, frequent out-of-town guests, many friends and family gatherings. At one point, my client even ran a catering business from her home. This kitchen gets used everyday!

It was great fun to work with these wonderful people on their complete remodel. The house features many windows, amazing Salt Lake Valley views, and two-story, high ceilings!

Check out the  Salt Lake City Residence gallery under the 'Kitchens' tab on the website. Many thanks to Jessica from Prolific, Ink. for the photography (and the camera lessons!). It definitely helps to have a pro on site.

Check it out in Contemporist, an online folio of Architecture and Interiors here.

ML-Designs is always happy to consult with gifted Architects like Amy. Collaboration leads to some wonderful experiences and some beautiful projects. We look forward to more work with Amy.
