Inspiration for a mid-sized country light wood floor great room remodel in Los Angeles with white walls and no fireplace

Architect C.P. Drewett tucked the dining room into a niche off the living room, providing intimacy in an otherwise open area. In the foreground, water runs down a sheet of glass, offering what he calls a “transition moment” between public and private spaces. The table has a shattered-glass top and is surrounded by resin chairs that look like metal. Featured in the November 2008 issue of Phoenix Home & Garden, this "magnificently modern" home is actually a suburban loft located in Arcadia, a neighborhood formerly occupied by groves of orange and grapefruit trees in Phoenix, Arizona. The home, designed by architect C.P. Drewett, offers breathtaking views of Camelback Mountain from the entire main floor, guest house, and pool area. These main areas "loft" over a basement level featuring 4 bedrooms, a guest room, and a kids' den. Features of the house include white-oak ceilings, exposed steel trusses, Eucalyptus-veneer cabinetry, honed Pompignon limestone, concrete, granite, and stainless steel countertops. The owners also enlisted the help of Interior Designer Sharon Fannin. The project was built by Sonora West Development of Scottsdale, AZ.

Inspiration for a modern patio remodel in Cincinnati

Anchoring the back corner is a sophisticated, custom concrete L-shaped bench, fire table and patio with stunning views of the Santa Monica mountains. Beneath the sighing Eucalyptus branches, it’s an enchanting spot to absorb the magic of the Los Angeles night.

Laundry Room went from a pass-through to a statement room with the addition of a custom marble counter, custom cabinetry, a replacement vintage window sash, and Forno linoleum flooring. Moravian Star pendant gives a touch of magic!

This 1300 square foot home built in the 60's got a new lease on life after this full remodel took it from dark and dated to bright, fresh and functional. Hallways were widened and used as storage corridors and looked at as a continuation of the space, in order to give each room a more spacious feel. The homeowners love of blue was used tastefully, to inspire the concept of the kitchen. Standard euro-style cabinetry was given a custom inset look with the application of recessed crown and light rail. 3 different styles of cabinet pulls were mixed beautifully, to style up the cabinets even more. This remodel was packed with functional details, the dining table even doubles as a game table for boys night!

This 400 s.f. studio apartment in NYC’s Greenwich Village serves as a pied-a-terre for clients whose primary residence is on the West Coast. Although the clients do not reside here full-time, this tiny space accommodates all the creature comforts of home. Bleached hardwood floors, crisp white walls, and high ceilings are the backdrop to a custom blackened steel and glass partition, layered with raw silk sheer draperies, to create a private sleeping area, replete with custom built-in closets. Simple headboard and crisp linens are balanced with a lightly-metallic glazed duvet and a vintage textile pillow. The living space boasts a custom Belgian linen sectional sofa that pulls out into a full-size bed for the couple’s young children who sometimes accompany them. Efficient and inexpensive dining furniture sits comfortably in the main living space and lends clean, Scandinavian functionality for sharing meals. The sculptural handrafted metal ceiling mobile offsets the architecture’s clean lines, defining the space while accentuating the tall ceilings. The kitchenette combines custom cool grey lacquered cabinets with brass fittings, white beveled subway tile, and a warm brushed brass backsplash; an antique Boucherouite runner and textural woven stools that pull up to the kitchen’s coffee counter punctuate the clean palette with warmth and the human scale. The under-counter freezer and refrigerator, along with the 18” dishwasher, are all panelled to match the cabinets, and open shelving to the ceiling maximizes the feeling of the space’s volume. The entry closet doubles as home for a combination washer/dryer unit. The custom bathroom vanity, with open brass legs sitting against floor-to-ceiling marble subway tile, boasts a honed gray marble countertop, with an undermount sink offset to maximize precious counter space and highlight a pendant light. A tall narrow cabinet combines closed and open storage, and a recessed mirrored medicine cabinet conceals additional necessaries. The stand-up shower is kept minimal, with simple white beveled subway tile and frameless glass doors, and is large enough to host a teak and stainless bench for comfort; black sink and bath fittings ground the otherwise light palette. What had been a generic studio apartment became a rich landscape for living.

DAPHNE SWIVELS in velvet. A perfect combination of a distinctive sculptural shape with a tall, supportive back and all the fun and function of a swivel. In addition to the great comfort it offers, Daphne’s high back and streamlined style are great for showing off fabric in a striking color, texture or pattern and becoming a strong focal point of a room. Like this style but prefer it stationary? See our Dana Chair. ALLURE ROUND COCKTAIL TABLE: This 42”-round cocktail table has its benefits. Its shape can soften the straight lines that dominate most rooms. And thanks to its materials mix…honed Turkish travertine top and patinaed satin-brass base…it can add warmth to any setting. It’s part of a very versatile living room collection that mixes metal, stone, and wood. Also shown, the Allure side table. The collection also includes a rectangular and a nesting cocktail table, both with eucalyptus-veneer tops instead of travertine. Love how the Powershag rug adds texture to the space. Behind the sofa, our Kimora dining table and Sorrel upholstered dining chairs complete this open-plan room.
