Professional prep What happens when a professionally trained chef outgrows an ordinary kitchen? You create a space worthy of the passion, precision and creativity that great cooking deserves. The homeowners dreamed of a kitchen that would match the talents of its primary cook — a graduate of the prestigious Cordon Bleu School of Cooking. Although he loved preparing gourmet meals, the existing kitchen and breakfast room simply couldn’t support the techniques, workflow and organization required for serious culinary excellence. Every meal became a reminder that the room was holding him back instead of inspiring him. The Buckingham Group accepted the challenge of transforming the existing footprint into a world-class culinary environment without expanding the home. Everything was taken back to the framing, providing a blank canvas for a complete reconstruction. Outdated cabinetry, appliances, flooring, walls and ceilings were removed, while the electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems were modernized to meet today’s performance standards. The result is a stunning custom kitchen where beauty and function work together seamlessly. Premium professional-grade appliances, handcrafted custom cabinetry, thoughtfully organized storage and elegant display areas for treasured China collections create an environment that is as practical as it is breathtaking. Every detail was carefully planned to maximize efficiency, convenience and visual harmony while reflecting the exceptional taste and lifestyle of the homeowners. Today, this remarkable kitchen is more than a place to prepare meals; it’s the heart of the home, designed to inspire creativity, entertain family and friends, and provide a lifetime of enjoyment. It’s proof that when exceptional design meets expert craftsmanship, extraordinary living naturally follows.

Stage one is complete on this 1958 mid-century modern home that looks like it is straight out of Palm Springs.

Inside, the primary bedroom gets its own “wow” moment: a stunning faux finishing by Carolyn Finch and a MCM mural wallpaper that spans the entire back wall for dramatic effect.
Th is is only stage one — more to come. Ready to reimagine your home? Reach out to Dana for a free consultation at 918-706-7868.

Sophisticated charm
This 1950s home was expanded from 2,500 to 4,000 square feet in a way that was thoughtfully designed to seamlessly blend modern elegance with the original architectural character. New spaces include a private primary suite, scullery, expanded laundry room, dedicated dog room shower and an attached three-car garage. This property was further enhanced with an exceptional outdoor living area including a custom swimming pool with professionally designed fencing, which creates a seamless connection between indoor comfort and outdoor entertaining.

Sweet studio
PROJECT: Detached Mother-In-Law Suite / Airbnb Remodel by Hammer Stars ADDRESS: 1904 S. Florence Place MAJOR INTERSECTION: 19th Street and Florence Place
BEFORE
Tucked behind a nearly 100-year-old midtown home, this detached garage spent decades as a makeshift mother-in-law suite before Hammer Stars, Inc. rebuilt it as a fully self-contained, incomeproducing guest studio. Warm midcentury finishes meet modern practicality across the 483-square-foot floor plan: color-changing accent lighting along the exposed beams, a fully equipped kitchen with high-end appliances that can make anything from a quick microwaved meal to the most elaborate recipe, a smart-controlled mini-split system and an EV charger out front. The once-cramped bathroom gave way to a bright walk-in shower with a wide-tiled niche, while a floating vanity with soft underglow lighting keeps the small footprint feeling open and polished. A built-in work desk, highspeed internet and full furnishings make the studio as comfortable
for a traveling professional as for visiting family. What was once the property’s biggest liability now earns its keep as Bella Luna @ Florence Park, a short-term rental welcoming guests to the heart of Midtown Tulsa, and proof of what a forgotten outbuilding can become.

Seamless luxury
PROJECT: Bathroom by Re-Bath of Tulsa ADDRESS: 1728 S. Rockford Ave. MAJOR INTERSECTION: 15th Street and Peoria Avenue
BEFORE
This stunning bathroom renovation in a 1928 Tulsa home showcases how historic charm and modern luxury can coexist beautifully. Designed and completed by Re-Bath Tulsa, the remodel preserves the home’s timeless character while introducing elegant, spa-inspired features. Re-Bath custom natural stone extends seamlessly across the wall and shower, with large-format marble-look LVT tile, all complemented by classic white subway tile wainscoting that honors the home’s original era. A frameless glass shower with built-in niches, brushed gold fixtures and a freestanding soaking tub create a sophisticated yet inviting retreat. Updated lighting, custom finishes and a thoughtfully reconfigured layout maximize both functionality
and comfort while maintaining the architectural integrity of the space. The finished bathroom demonstrates how quality craftsmanship and intentional design can transform a historic home into a luxurious, functional space built for modern living.

Rich hardwood floors and a soft neutral pallet bring warmth and character throughout the space. Every element was carefully designed to create a kitchen that feels refined, inviting and highly
functional, demonstrating how quality craftsmanship and intentional design can transform a historic home into a space perfectly suited for today’s lifestyle.
