Mid-Century Primary Bath Remodel:

This was a mid-century remodel by Geno Benvenuti.  We photographed the primary bathroom shown here along with common bath which we will show in another post.  I really liked this project.  The home was of modest size, but very comfortable and loaded with character.  I met with interior designer Robin Thomas early one February morning last year where she had been busy making sure all the rooms were properly staged and ready for the shoot.  This was the second time that I had the pleasure of working with Robin.  She’s not just talented, but fun to work with.  I hope we do it again!

Some favorites from the primary bath below.   

Custom Cabinet Showroom:

We captured these images for Geno Benvenuti  at the Benvenuti & Stein factory showroom.  This was part of their recently completed custom cabinet displays. As part of their process, they actually replicate the room that custom cabinets will be installed, so as to insure a perfect on-site fit. That meticulous attention to detail is why they are the foremost custom cabinet makers in Northern Illinois. 

Lake Front Family Room:

In this remarkable home, let's shine a spotlight on the family room. With the expansive ambiance of a grand lodge, this space offers a blend of openness and snug comfort, perfect for hosting friends or unwinding with a good book and a warm cup of tea. Crafted by the esteemed home builder Orren Pickell, and adorned by the renowned designer Janet McCann, this lakefront home exudes elegance and warmth.  More to come.

Photographing the Powder Room:

Capturing the essence of a powder room can pose a challenge for architectural photographers. These spaces, although small, reflect the meticulous efforts of interior designers to blend practicality, comfort, and beauty seamlessly.

The goal is precision, aiming to encapsulate the space in a single shot whenever possible. The powder room crafted by Orren Pickell Builders stands out for its simplicity and elegance, embodying a timeless design envisioned by Janet McCann. Stay tuned as we unveil more captivating spaces from this remarkable home. 

Luxury Master Suite by Orren Pickell and Janet McCann:

This fantastic home and Luxury Suite was built by Orren Pickell with interior design by Janet McCann.  Thank you Patrick Falso for asking us to photograph this project. More to come.

North-Shore Kitchen Remodel:

When shooting a project for Geno Benvenuti, one thing that never fails to impress is the exceptional quality of his work. The mid-century remodel in North-Shore is truly stunning. The cabinets exude a sense of robustness and durability. Every drawer opens and closes seamlessly, quietly, and effortlessly. The finishes are luxuriously rich, thick, and expertly applied. It's hard to find anyone who does cabinetry as impeccably as Benvenuti & Stein.
