On first impression, the HiLo Chair looks basic with its one-piece molded plastic seat held together by solid beech wood folding legs that is easily adjusted by a two-button pullout aluminum mechanism. In fact, with one easy maneuver, the seatbelt-clad chair conveniently swivels from highchair to under-table chair. Yet, the HiLo Chair’s subtle, less-is-more design features go further than most modern highchairs. From the 3-point seat belt and intentionally curved armrests to the raised, plastic tray lip, crotch bar and ultra resistant nylon wheels, each added design feature is strategic, clever and understated. The HiLo Chair has no interstices or moving parts in which food can accumulate. Streamlined, easy to use and highly practical, this highchair is a stylish addition to modern interiors. Available in a refreshing and fun palette of colours, its packaging is designed to be transformed into a play house for kids. The HiLo Chair is evolutionary: from 6 months to 6 years old child

Trendsetting design and price | Do you have a demanding nature and consistently follow your style but realise that this does not simply mean accumulating as many things as possible? At Hansgrohe, we believe that the art is in the simplification and that clear design focuses on the basics. This minimalistic principle also forms the basis for the design of the Hansgrohe Talis S mixer range. It is slender, stylish and fitted with an unconventional pin handle. Talis S is exclusive bathroom design created through functional clarity. And not least: high-quality mixer technology at an affordable price.

This beautiful bathroom is decorated in our Citrine® Quartz Calacatta Luna Stock # 105 and yes, it is very easy to maintain, because there are no angle joints, no pores and no grout lines to accumulate soap scum or mildew. Our expert installers use miter joints, which limit the use of grout or caulk and gives the aesthetics of one continuous slab. Calacatta Luna was featured in the November 2018 - Stone World Magazine - Page 71

The decision to go small is about her personal values, committing to a lifestyle, and living within her means. The move to design small is a subjective decision that weighs in on a number of factors that can’t possibly be summed up in one statement, but the obvious benefits jump to the front...easier to maintain, less cleaning, less expensive, less debt, less environmental impact, less temptation to accumulate. Her design requirements were simple, small footprint less than 1000 sq. ft., garage below the living area, and take advantage of the amazing view. It’s smaller than the average house, but designed in a way that it won’t feel like a shoebox. My client thought long and hard about downsizing her home and her lifestyle, and she couldn’t be happier

This custom floating deck was built to solve a tricky side-yard challenge—snow accumulation, uneven terrain, and obstructed access to basement window wells. We installed a sleek, weather-resistant composite deck system that floats above the grade and steps cleanly over two basement egress windows. The deck provides a dry, level walking surface in an otherwise sloped, icy zone. It’s built with proper clearance for drainage and venting, and framed with a self-supporting platform that keeps all utilities accessible. The fascia is mitered clean, matching the modern look of the home while protecting the framing below. Details Framing: Pressure-treated joists with adjustable deck blocks—no anchoring to foundation Decking: Grooved composite planks with hidden fasteners for a seamless surface Trim: Full-wrap mitered fascia around all visible sides Features: Cutout access over egress well; integrated step; zero-penetration design Conditions: Built during cold-weather season with snow on-site and minimal disruption to landscape Result The client now has year-round access along the home—no more slipping on ice or dodging around window wells. This deck brought utility and design together in a clean, functional install that looks like it was always meant to be there.

When we first met, this client was extremely frustrated. A current contractor had left her with a yard in disarray, a project incomplete and the loss of an entire season of swimming pool use. Additionally, years of accumulated DIY projects left other potential landscape contractors overwhelmed and unwilling to take this project on. Picking up the pieces, we put together a design that would meet the client’s goals and our team set to work. We completed the retaining wall, laid a modular paver pool deck, updated the cedar deck, added privacy screening, solved drainage issues, installed LED lighting, overhauled plantings to maximize color and brought the lawn back to life. The re-defined space is a dream-come-true for our client. A yard which two years ago was a jungle of debris, is now the “go-to” gathering place for family & friends to relax and have fun.

Luxurious Master Bath years in the making. Although it only took 3 months to create this gorgeous space, it took awhile to accumulate all of special pieces that make up the whole. From the hand painted sink, gold sconces, hand painted cabinet, gold toilet paper holder etc. Every where you turn there is something beautiful to behold. A wall was removed between the original very small shower room and dressing area to create this expansive space.

This simple spiral staircase includes open mesh treads to insure drainage and prevent snow accumulation during the winter. Titan Architectural Products, LLC dba Titan Stairs, Utah!

This Mid Century Modern home was designed and lived in by the architect in 1966. Since then there was one other owner but not much was updated to the home. When the current homeowners moved in they found many plumbing and electrical issues that accumulated overtime. They decided it was time for the kitchen, which had a hole in the floor from water damage, to be fixed and updated. They wanted a more open concept in the tight, galley, 60's style kitchen. To do so we needed to move the powder room to another location. New cabinets, flooring, counters, and backsplash were selected for the remodel. And after a lot of construction work was done to update the plumbing, electrical, and mechanical their dreams came true. The homeowners taste and style fits perfectly with the architects intentions for the design of the home.

One of the most popular hardwood floor finishing which offers Tom & Peter Flooring is provided by WOCA. If you’ve decided that you want a natural looking wooden floor that is lacquer-free, then the likelihood is that you’ve chosen oil as your way of protecting your wood and making your floor look great at the same time. WOCA for wood flooring comes in various forms and is a great way of making sure that your wood is protected, but at the same time looks natural. A highly popular as well as effective way of treating wood floors, oils effectively penetrate into the wood and in some cases harden into the surface of the floor to stop damage and to maintain the wood in its optimum condition. WOCA Oil finish hardwood flooring has taken the United States market by in 2014 and shows no signs of slowing down in 2016 and now. Here are some of the most common questions we have regarding this type of finish which we will I’m to answer in today’s my blog: Is oil finish as durable as traditional factory urethane finishes with aluminum oxide? When it comes to durability, oil finish flooring tackles the issue with a completely different method. The penetrating oil serves as protection from moisture and wear while allowing the user to feel the wood grains in their bare feet. If compared directly to factory finished aluminum oxide finish, the oil finish flooring will not perform as well to abrasion and impact. However, the beauty of this finish is the fact that it will camouflage any scratches which will inevitably accumulate over time. Will this finish evaporate over time and will this be harmful for indoor air quality? Another concern for oil finished floors its effect on indoor air quality. For on-site applications, some varieties suggest several coats which typically require the residents to be out of the home due to mild odors. However, there are factory finished UV-cured or single coat applications which lessen the downtime. Despite the odors produced during the drying process, oil finish floors rank amongst the lowest for VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions. Certain brands even boast true zero VOC. This fact alone makes oil finished floors one of the best options for green building solutions. “WOCA products are certified by independent laboratories, the German Institute for Biological Building Materials, and are in accordance with DIN–Norm 53–160. WOCA WoodCare Denmark products meet or exceed the most stringent U.S. standards for volatile organic compounds.” –WOCA Oil Finish Manufacture Does this type of finish require additional maintenance which I am not familiar with? For weekly cleaning, oiled floors use a special cleaner which contains an oil and soap mixture. After a period of 12-18 months some oil may evaporate causing the wood grains to appear dry. An additional layer of oil can be reapplied to keep the floor looking fresh. Although oil finished floors require more involvement in periodic maintenance in high traffic areas, this maintenance can be done much easier than the equivalent of an onsite sand and refinish. WOCA Master Color Oil contains pigment, which provides a single-step hardwood floor staining process. Laying down the stain and the finish in one step. This product comes 14 different colors, from Black to Extra White, and you can mix them freely to create various color palettes that will meet the demands of any job.

The 5,000 square foot private residence is located in the community of Horseshoe Bay, above the shores of Lake LBJ, and responds to the Texas Hill Country vernacular prescribed by the community: shallow metal roofs, regional materials, sensitive scale massing and water-wise landscaping. The house opens to the scenic north and north-west views and fractures and shifts in order to keep significant oak, mesquite, elm, cedar and persimmon trees, in the process creating lush private patios and limestone terraces. The Owners desired an accessible residence built for flexibility as they age. This led to a single level home, and the challenge to nestle the step-less house into the sloping landscape. Full height glazing opens the house to the very beautiful arid landscape, while porches and overhangs protect interior spaces from the harsh Texas sun. Expansive walls of industrial insulated glazing panels allow soft modulated light to penetrate the interior while providing visual privacy. An integral lap pool with adjacent low fenestration reflects dappled light deep into the house. Chaste stained concrete floors and blackened steel focal elements contrast with islands of mesquite flooring, cherry casework and fir ceilings. Selective areas of exposed limestone walls, some incorporating salvaged timber lintels, and cor-ten steel components further the contrast within the uncomplicated framework. The Owner’s object and art collection is incorporated into the residence’s sequence of connecting galleries creating a choreography of passage that alternates between the lucid expression of simple ranch house architecture and the rich accumulation of their heritage. The general contractor for the project is local custom homebuilder Dauphine Homes. Structural Engineering is provided by Structures Inc. of Austin, Texas, and Landscape Architecture is provided by Prado Design LLC in conjunction with Jill Nokes, also of Austin.

A simple entryway lets hand made sconces by artist David Wiseman shine. Decorating the table top is a delicate crystal 20 karat yellow gold hand painted Baccarat butterfly sculpture. A slim entry table by a local craftsperson provides space enough space for entry odds and ends, without allowing clutter to accumulate. David Wiseman geranium sconces are the first work of art you see when entering the home, and offer a moment of beauty and appreciation before continuing deeper into the house.

Initially devoid of a front garden, the space featured only a century-old arborvitae hedge on a sloped bed. Our transformation included the construction of a retaining wall with elegant columns, displaying a curated collection of handmade pots. A new hedge was introduced, housing Mediterranean trees like olive, bay, and guava. The courtyard and gravel garden bed, layered with decomposed granite, minimize mud accumulation. The addition of lighting and irrigation ensures both aesthetic appeal and the garden's overall health, creating a simple yet captivating oasis for the family and their neighbors to enjoy.

On their 20th year of owning this home, the homeowners decided to remodel the bathroom. The shower glass was failing, mold was accumulating, and there was possible water damage. After browsing on houzz.com for ideas, they collaborated to make this beautiful masterpiece. They decided to keep the same footprint, because they liked the layout. Tons of upgrades! Shaker style white cabinets, complete with a Rev-A-Shelf for the hairdryer. Black leather granite really adds dimension to this bathroom! We also put in a custom mirror.
