This kitchen renovation combined multiple rooms to create one expansive, open-concept space ideal for entertaining. A 128″ island with seating for six anchors the room, while a hidden pantry keeps the layout sleek and functional. Black oak cabinetry and thoughtfully selected finishes were chosen to complement the home’s original architecture, blending modern luxury with timeless character.

Building or remodeling a home comes with a lot of moving pieces — and one of the biggest questions is always: What does the timeline actually look like?
From early planning and selections to construction support and the final furnishings layer, great design is a process that unfolds in phases (not all at once). Our latest blog walks through what each stage really feels like, why timing matters, and how thoughtful planning creates a smoother, more cohesive home from start to finish.
Because a well-designed home doesn’t happen by accident — it happens with intention from day one.

Day… ?? 😅✨
We’ve officially reached the point of market where the days blur together, and we’ve seen so many beautiful showrooms.
But the inspiration? Still going strong.
We’ve discovered pieces we already can’t wait to style in the Dwell showroom.
Here are a few more favorites from the final days of market 🤍
