Sherwood
Game Day House Renovation | Kitchen & Bathroom Designs + Custom Cabinetry
Tuscaloosa, Alabama
Located in the heart of Tuscaloosa’s Sherwood Historic District, just a stone's throw from the University of Alabama campus, this classic 1950s ranch-style home was transformed into the ultimate game-day retreat. Purchased as a secondary residence, the homeowners envisioned a modern sanctuary that paid homage to their Crimson Tide pride, blending sleek, contemporary design with the timeless appeal of their mid-century home.
The transformation of this 1950s ranch into a modern game-day retreat would not have been complete without the expert touch of Lisa Flake from Caldwell Flake Interiors. Her selection of furnishings, accessories, and rugs brought warmth and personality to each space, ensuring that the home feels both inviting and sophisticated.
The Sherwood project is a perfect example of how Toulmin Kitchen & Bath combines modern design with functional elegance, creating spaces that are not only beautiful but also tailored to our clients' unique needs and styles. Whether it’s a primary residence or a secondary game-day property, we bring your vision to life with attention to every detail.
Kitchen: Where Modern Meets Tradition
The kitchen renovation was central to the Sherwood project, where modern aesthetics seamlessly blend with functional design. Featuring Eclipse frameless cabinetry with matte acrylic charcoal doors, this kitchen embodies sleek elegance. The cabinetry is complemented by Caesarstone Cloudburst Concrete quartz countertops, offering both durability and a touch of industrial chic. The waterfall edge peninsula becomes a focal point, inviting gatherings around it during game day celebrations.
To ensure the kitchen maintained a clutter-free appearance, we incorporated tip-on mechanisms for the doors, eliminating the need for visible hardware, while edge pulls on the drawers add to the streamlined look. The SubZero Wolf appliances, including a 36” classic fridge/freezer and a 36” gas range, guarantee top-tier performance, while the panel-ready dishwasher blends seamlessly with the cabinetry, maintaining the kitchen’s cohesive and sophisticated style.
Bar & Living Room Built-Ins: Entertaining in Style
Adjacent to the kitchen, the custom bar area and built-ins are designed for entertaining. The same Eclipse frameless cabinetry from Toulmin Kitchen & Bath extends into this space, creating a unified design throughout the home.
The bar features glass doors, adding a touch of transparency that contrasts beautifully with the matte finishes. Subzero refrigerator drawers keep beverages cool and within easy reach, making this bar area as functional as it is stylish.
Hall Bath: Bold and Modern
In the hall bath, we introduced a bold, contemporary aesthetic with black ceramic floor tiles and Eclipse frameless cabinetry. The matte black laminate doors and quartz countertops create a striking contrast, while the black Delta plumbing fixtures add a touch of drama. The design is simple yet impactful, perfectly balancing form and function.
Jack and Jill Bath: Crisp and Clean
The Jack and Jill bath is a study in modern simplicity. Daltile hexagon flooring adds texture and visual interest, while the glossy white acrylic vanity and Restoration Hardware medicine cabinets bring a crisp, clean look to the space. The Eclipse frameless cabinetry and Hanstone Coast river-wash finish quartz countertops contribute to the serene, contemporary vibe, making this shared bath both practical and beautiful.
Primary Bath: A Private Oasis
The primary bath in the Sherwood project is designed to be a private oasis, offering a serene escape from the excitement of game day. The frameless shower and contemporary sliding barn door, paired with a frosted glass sliding door, provide both privacy and style. The textured wood-look laminate vanity and quartz countertops exude a warm, natural feel, while the ceramic floor and shower tiles add a layer of luxury. Restoration Hardware medicine cabinets and Kohler polished chrome plumbing fixtures complete the look, ensuring that every detail is refined and cohesive.
