Dacor’s Pro Dual-Fuel Steam Range.
Modern Farmhouse Style
During the renovation of a home in McLean by Devereaux & Associates Architects and Great Jones Development, Shawna J. Dillon, NCIDQ, ASID, of Studio Snaidero DC Metro was tapped to redesign the kitchen with a rustic yet sophisticated sensibility. Collaborating with interior designer Jeanne Griffin, she selected Lux Classic cabinetry—conceived by Pietro Arosio for Snaidero—made of melamine with a Medium Oak finish. Shaker-style doors and inset, polished-chrome hardware create clean lines. The island is topped by striking Calacatta Cielo marble with waterfall edges, sourced through Gramaco. snaiderodcmetro.com

Time Sensitive
Ann Sacks’s Craze tiles use a glass-like glaze to create the crackle effect imposed by time on ancient Italian pottery. The eight-by-12-inch porcelain tiles come in black, gray and white and can be used indoors or out. annsacks.com
Industrial Vibe
Urban, a porcelain countertop surface by SapienStone, mimics the look of cement that’s been irregularly finished with a spatula. The result is tactile, with an industrial vibe. Available in Natural, Anthracite and Argento finishes. sapienstone.com

A pattern reminiscent of brushstrokes characterizes Latitude, Emser Tile’s new collection for floors and walls. The glazed, body-matched porcelain tiles come in five neutral hues, and in both large-format sizes and mosaics. emser.com
