Custom cabinetry creates a sense of continuity throughout this bathroom. Each piece offers purposeful storage while maintaining a consistent language of crisp white finishes, classic detailing, and polished hardware.
Against layers of pattern, color, and texture, the cabinetry provides a timeless foundation—bringing function and refinement to every corner of the room.

From stovetop to counter to warming drawer, every detail is considered with flow in mind. When designing a kitchen for function, we think beyond where each element belongs to how the chef will actually move through the space.
This project offered countless opportunities to create an intuitive flow, with each zone thoughtfully positioned to make cooking, prepping, and serving feel effortless.

Designed as the focal point of the space, this sculptural bar makes an impact without overwhelming the room. Natural walnut cabinetry, softened corners, and dramatic stone bring warmth and character, while a shallow footprint keeps the design beautifully functional.
Custom O’Brien Harris cabinetry is made even more beautiful with interior designer Kelly Hurliman’s discerning eye. All credit goes to her on the stunning features with an asterik.

The best cabinetry isn’t just designed to fit a space, it’s designed for you.
Our process begins with understanding how our clients live, from the everyday ritual of sitting down to put on lipstick to having a dedicated place to tuck away winter coats. Every detail is considered with the person using it in mind. Call us if you’re ready for your space to feel truly custom to you.

At the heart of Hinsdale Haven, dual islands create space for both gathering and everyday living, while warm wood tones, light cabinetry and an antiqued brass hood bring softness and dimension to the clean architectural lines.
Tucked beyond ribbed-glass arched doors, the scullery extends the kitchen with secondary appliances, generous storage and the kind of behind-the-scenes functionality that makes entertaining feel effortless.
Affectionately known as the “booze box,” this central bar pairs a signature square arch with warm wood paneling, concealed storage and glass display shelving—a small space with plenty of personality.
In the main-level office, custom O’Brien Harris cabinetry complements stone-clad walls and metal detailing, carrying the home’s balance of natural materials and modern refinement into the workspace.
Small in scale, bold in expression. Rich millwork, dramatic stone and architectural arches give this powder room a distinctly moody presence while connecting it to the design language found throughout the home. Gold Winner for Best Powder Room in the 2026 Kitchen & Bath Design Awards!
An exciting look at Hinsdale Haven—featured in the pages of Modern Luxury Interiors. We’re grateful to see this special collaboration celebrated in print and proud of the incredible team that brought it to life.

Some details just scream luxury.
In every O’Brien Harris project, there are a few design elements we never skip—because they define how a space looks, feels, and functions for decades to come.
Thoughtful storage solutions that make daily living effortless.
Concealed functionality, hiding bulky appliances and trash behind beautiful cabinetry.
And materials built to last, where the craftsmanship is visible in every drawer.

The beauty of custom cabinetry is in the possibilities. Different woods, finishes, colors, and details can be thoughtfully combined to create a kitchen that feels entirely personal.
In this space, warm wood cabinetry, classic painted finishes, and a rich blue accent work together to create a layered look while allowing the craftsmanship of each element to stand out.
