Here are the contemporary style kitchen and master bathroom that I just did in a Craftsman style Hancock Park home in LA.

We totally gut and remodeled the kitchen. We used a granite that looks like Carrara marble to have the "Carrara marble" look that is so popular today, but be a bit more durable especially with regard to spilling red wine, oil, vinegar, lemon juice and tomato juice since the family has tiny children who might spill on the countertop and the mom actually cooks meals in the kitchen, and long narrow dark gray textured subway tiles combined with white cabinets and top of the line appliances such as a Sub Zero fridge, Wolf burners/oven, a Bosch dishwasher and a Grohe faucet to create what my client thinks is a fabulous yet functional kitchen. We chose an island in a dark wood finish for contrast that has seating for the kids so they have an eat in kitchen.

We totally gut and remodeled the master bathroom, changing the doorways to add both a large tub and a large shower. We used Carrara marble on the countertops and tub surround, and porcelain faux Carrara marble tiles in the shower to have the "Carrara marble" look but again be more durable as porcelain is a man made material that doesn't need to be resealed regularly to not have moisture issues the way marble does. For contrast, we used gray 12" by 24" tiles on the floor. We made cabinets 36" high for 6'4" husband.
