Here, the original builder\u2019s attempt at being modern and edgy backfired both aesthetically and functionally, especially in the house\u2019s kitchen and primary bath. To beautify these ugly and outdated spaces and to them more livable for their young family, the homeowners searched online for top-rated local firms in their town of Mamaroneck and found <a href=\"https:\/\/ndinteriors.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ND Interiors<\/a>, led by Nancy Davilman.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Wide-Open Spaces<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Although the existing kitchen was spacious at about 260 square feet, its choppy layout of disjointed countertops and quirky components \u2013 such as a triangular island at the room\u2019s center \u2013 proved impractical and disruptive to the natural flow of prepping and cooking. It also didn\u2019t give the wife the direct line of sight she desired to watch over the children while working in the kitchen. Finally, the combined countertop space was insufficient, especially should the cooking turn into a family affair.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-164822 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BA_B1.jpg\" alt=\"Dated and Confused\u00a0Kitchen + Bath\" width=\"1000\" height=\"550\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BA_B1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BA_B1-980x539.jpg 980w, https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BA_B1-480x264.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/550;\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To tackle all these issues, Davilman worked with KTM Architect, who helped open and rejigger the first-floor plan substantially. In addition to ripping out and repositioning the home\u2019s main staircase, the team opened the dining room by taking down two walls: one that demarcated a hallway between the dining and family rooms and another that separated the dining room from the staircase and an adjacent alcove space. The wall separating the kitchen from the dining area was also demolished to provide seamless flow between cooktop and tabletop. With these key spaces now open to each other, the project teams were able to carve out spaces at the back of the kitchen for a laundry room and butler\u2019s pantry \u2013 which added significant storage and prep space \u2013 without making the kitchen feel small.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Singing the Blues<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The teams removed the existing yellow-toned wood cabinetry and countertops, which were made of a dated greenish-black granite, as well as appliances and fixtures to make way for gleaming white cabinetry anchored by quartzite with blue, gray and white swirls.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI really wanted the clients to choose and fall in love with a slab, but we didn\u2019t know how prominently we were going to feature it, as we were still in the design phase,\u201d said Davilman.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Once the clients chose it, however, the designer felt a stone so striking belonged behind the cooktop, as well as on the island. After cladding the cooktop\u2019s backsplash, she used the rest of the stone to top the extra-deep island \u2013 creating an overhang where the children could do homework or play \u2013 and wrap down one side all the way to the floor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The sink wall, to one side of the island, has a ceramic tile backsplash that appears white but actually has a very pale green-blue undertone. In the butler\u2019s pantry, the backsplash switches over to white, but the cabinets are drenched in a vibrant and lighter navy blue. Here, and elsewhere along the kitchen\u2019s perimeter, the countertops are white engineered quartz. Opposite the sink, on the other side of the island, white-paneled fridge and freezer units blend in with the kitchen cabinetry and sit next to new wall ovens.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-164819 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BA_2.jpg\" alt=\"Dated and Confused\u00a0Kitchen + Bath\" width=\"1000\" height=\"550\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BA_2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BA_2-980x539.jpg 980w, https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BA_2-480x264.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/550;\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As the kitchen overlooks the dining room, the dining chairs reference the stone centerpiece with blue, gray and white back fabric, while the seats are upholstered in a textile with metallic sheen. This carries over into the dining room\u2019s new wet bar (formerly the staircase-adjacent alcove), where eye-catching\u00a0 shimmery, almost metallic blue tiles clad the wall above a hammered stainless sink.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Room to Bathe<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Like the kitchen, the primary bath suffered from an outdated palette and inefficient layout. Wedged in the corner between the drop-in tub and toilet was a tight shower with an awkward angled entry. A makeup table accompanied by a massive mirror took up nearly the entire window-side wall, and the overall palette was very beige. Fortunately, the design team was able to work within the existing bath footprint after removing all these impediments.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-164823 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BA_B2.jpg\" alt=\"Dated and Confused\u00a0Kitchen + Bath\" width=\"1000\" height=\"550\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BA_B2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BA_B2-980x539.jpg 980w, https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BA_B2-480x264.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/550;\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">One of the clients\u2019 requisites was a standalone soaking tub. Davilman said the wife really is a bather who actually uses the tub and doesn\u2019t just have it for show. What she didn\u2019t care for, however, was the extra-wide makeup table. So,with that removed, the designer positioned a new soaking tub along the window wall which, gained another window opening in lieu of the makeup table\u2019s oversized mirror. A more appropriately sized table and wall mirror now sit in place of the old drop-in tub, while the toilet was shifted into the corner where the old shower stood. This move made space for a larger steam shower facing the windows.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Bling once again finds its way into the design, this time in a carved and hand-painted marble shower wall tile that possesses gold undertones and catches the now abundant sunlight. To complement these tiles, the homeowners chose a glass mosaic that has some beige but mixes it with a lot of pearlescent browns, gold, bluish-gray and ivory for the shower ceiling and shelf niches.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe clients really didn\u2019t shy away from color, and they loved the depth and richness of color in this product, said Davilman.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The only element to stay in its predecessor\u2019s spot, the all-new double vanity features cabinetry that picks up on the mosaic\u2019s deep dark coffee brown. And tying the bath design altogether, the designer added the finishing touch of a \u201cframe\u201d around the vanity mirror composed of the very same mosaic.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-164818 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BA_1.jpg\" alt=\"Dated and Confused\u00a0Kitchen + Bath\" width=\"1000\" height=\"550\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BA_1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BA_1-980x539.jpg 980w, https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BA_1-480x264.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/550;\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">In terms of lessons learned on this project, Davilman said <\/span><span class=\"s1\">one thing that was reinforced on is how important great communication is among all the team members.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cNo matter how perfect plans look on paper, there are always items that come up once you&#8217;re into the construction phase, and it\u2019s important to be able to quickly brainstorm together and make proper decisions,\u201d she added. \u201cHaving your team of architect, builder and designer working together from the start ensures a smoother process overall.\u202f\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Sources<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Designer:<\/strong> ND Interiors <strong>Architect:<\/strong> K<\/span><span class=\"s1\">TM Architect <strong>Photographer:<\/strong> <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Julie Leffell Photography KITCHEN<strong> Backsplashes:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">AKDO &amp; Everest Marble <strong>Cabinetry &amp; Hood: <\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Majestic Kitchens &amp; Baths <strong>Cooktops &amp; Oven<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><strong>:<\/strong> Wolf <strong>Countertops:<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s1\"> Everest Marble &amp; PentalQuartz<strong> Dishwasher<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><strong>:<\/strong> Bosch <strong>Dining Room Chandelier<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><strong>:<\/strong> Modern Forms <strong>Faucets<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><strong>:<\/strong> Delta &amp; Kohler <strong>Freezer &amp; Fridge<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><strong>:<\/strong> Sub-Zero <strong>Hardware<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><strong>:<\/strong> Sietto Hardware &amp; Top Knobs <strong>Microwave<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><strong>:<\/strong> Sharp <strong>Pantry Fridge Drawers<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><strong>:<\/strong> GE Monogram <strong>Pendants<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><strong>:<\/strong> Laura Kirar <strong>Sinks<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><strong>:<\/strong> Blanco &amp; Nantucket Sinks BATH <strong>Cabinetry<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><strong>:<\/strong> Majestic Kitchens &amp; Baths <strong>Countertop &amp; Shower Seat<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><strong>:<\/strong> PentalQuartz <strong>Faucets, S<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><strong>hower Fixtures &amp; Tub Filler:<\/strong> Brizo <strong>Floor Tile<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><strong>:<\/strong> AKDO <strong>Hardware:<\/strong> <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Top Knobs <strong>Mosaics<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><strong>:<\/strong> Terra Tile and Marble <strong>Sconces<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><strong>:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/products\/visual-comfort-chalmette\/89530\/\">Visual Comfort &amp; Co.<\/a> <strong>Shower Wall Tile<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><strong>:<\/strong> Elalux Tile<strong> Sinks<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><strong>:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/products\/kohler-eir-one-piece-smart-toilet\/164273\/\">Kohler<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<strong>Tub<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s3\"><strong>:<\/strong> Fleurco\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While 80s-era trends are back on many fronts, there are some we can do without, as proven by one 1980s-built home in Westchester County, N.Y.
