Every detail of this new construction home was planned and thought of. From the door knobs to light fixtures this home turned into a modern farmhouse master piece! The Highland Park family of 6 aimed to create an oasis for their extended family and friends to enjoy. We added a large sectional, extra island space and a spacious outdoor setup to complete this goal. Our tile selections added special details to the bathrooms, mudroom and laundry room. The lighting lit up the gorgeous wallpaper and paint selections. To top it off the accessories were the perfect way to accentuate the style and excitement within this home! This project is truly one of our favorites. Hopefully we can enjoy cocktails in the pool soon!

Master Suite Remodel with Gas Fireplace and Mounted TV The master suite remodel aims to create a cozy yet luxurious retreat, blending modern convenience with timeless elegance. The focal points of the redesign are a sleek gas fireplace with a ceramic tile surround and a strategically placed mounted TV for ultimate relaxation and entertainment. Gas Fireplace with Ceramic Tile Surround: The centerpiece of the remodel is a contemporary gas fireplace nestled within a feature wall. The fireplace is framed by ceramic tiles in a neutral palette, adding texture and visual interest to the space. The tiles are meticulously laid in a vertical brick pattern, creating a sophisticated backdrop for the flames to dance against. The mantel, crafted from rich wood, offers a perfect perch for cherished mementos or decor accents, adding a personalized touch to the room. Mounted TV Above the Fireplace: Above the fireplace, a slim and sophisticated mounted TV is seamlessly integrated into the design.

Enhanced Ambiance: To enhance the ambiance further, adjustable lighting fixtures are strategically placed to highlight architectural details and create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Dimmable sconces and recessed lighting provide customizable illumination, allowing occupants to set the mood to their preference, whether it's a romantic evening in or a tranquil night of unwinding. Overall Aesthetic: The master suite remodel strikes a harmonious balance between sophistication and comfort, offering a serene haven where residents can retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

What a transformation this space has seen! The half wall was eliminated, allowing for a free flow of living and dining within the reach of the kitchen. The use of leather and fabrics in neutral palettes gave life to the artwork and color added to the space. The sleek fireplace was added to the room and showcased a horizontal gas flame with a bed of glass, stunning!

We took our Boulder clients through an amazing transformation! Almost every room in their home has been remodeled to better reflect their tastes and create spaces that functions better for their family. We utilized natural materials every step of the way and designed a balance of mid-century inspired touches and cool contemporary finishes. In the living room we removed the existing half-wall to open up the entry and dining room and create an easier transition between spaces. To make the fireplace the focal point of the living room we designed a beautiful wall of honed sandstone and sourced a reclaimed wood mantel. Increasing storage was a necessity for this home, so we added a much needed closet to the dining room, and designed semi custom floating cabinetry for the living room & dining room. We added a custom barn door to their family room to give them the option of closing the television off from the rest of their home. The clients really wanted to brighten up their dark kitchen, so we removed the black cabinets and red backsplash to make room for beautiful natural wood cabinets and a custom clay tile backsplash. Contemporary touches like a zero radius stainless steel sink, concrete light fixtures, and a double waterfall counter-top continue to echo the clean lines utilized through out the rest of the home. For the two first floor bathrooms we removed barrels full of mosaic tile and installed large scale white and grey tiles, making the rooms feel larger and reign in the visual texture. We continued to use the cool tones and clean lines in the bathrooms to tie them in with the rest of the home and give us a unified feel between spaces.

The original living room had a bulky media station with an off-center fireplace. To restore balance to the room, we shifted the fireplace under the television and covered it in glass so it can be seen from the kitchen. Adjacent to the fireplace, we added lots of storage with large push drawers able to conceal any mess. With the extra space between the built-ins and the wall, we decided to add a cute little reading nook with some fun lighting. Most of all, our clients wanted their remodeled lake house to feel cozy, so we installed a few ceiling beams for some rustic charm. The living room is an irregular shape, so we had to get creative with the furniture. We used their sofa that they loved and added a sleek side chair that we placed in the corner surrounded by windows.

Family room - mid-sized transitional open concept medium tone wood floor family room idea in Alicante-Costa Blanca with white walls, a ribbon fireplace and a wall-mounted tv

The original design of this late Mid-century Modern house featured a horrifically ugly entry which the owners needed our help to fix. In addition, they wanted to add a master suite, create a home theatre, and remodel the family room. Although they originally considered adding a second floor, our final design resulted in an extension of the house which accentuated its existing linear quality. Our solution to the entry problem included cutting back part of the vaulted roof to allow more light in and adding a cantilevered canopy instead. A new entry bridge crosses a koi pond, and new clerestory windows, stone planters and cedar trim complete the makeover of the previously bland plywood-clad box. The new master suite features 12 foot ceilings, clerestory windows, 8 foot high French doors and a fireplace. The exterior of the addition employs the same pallet of materials as the new façade but with a carefully composed composition of form and proportion. The new family room features the same stone cladding as we used on the exterior. Photo by Christopher Stark Photography.

Open concept living was the clients main objective along with maximizing the great water views. By removing walls, adding large arched openings and adding more doors and windows, the views can really be appreciated from the entry through the living room, dining room and kitchen. The stone walls and wrought iron railing and balusters compliments the warm and inviting furnishings. Photography by Dave Adams Photography

In 2024, we renovated this Muskoka cottage. This renovation was designed to improve livability and flow while preserving its rustic charm. We reconfigured the layout to create a new bedroom, a three-piece bathroom, and a dedicated laundry space. Pine-cladded beams now run across the open-concept living area, adding warmth and character. The front windows were enlarged and an additional window was added in the living room to let in more natural light. New flooring was installed throughout, the front door was updated, and a custom wood bed frame was built for the new bedroom. The bathroom features a sliding glass shower with classic subway tiles on the walls and slate tiles on the floor, offering a clean, natural look. A fireplace feature wall serves as a cozy focal point, bringing atmosphere and visual interest to the main living area.

At roughly 1,600 sq.ft. of existing living space, this modest 1971 split level home was too small for the family living there and in need of updating. Modifications to the existing roof line, adding a half 2nd level, and adding a new entry effected an overall change in building form. New finishes inside and out complete the alterations, creating a fresh new look. The sloping site drops away to the east, resulting in incredible views from all levels. From the clean, crisp interior spaces expansive glazing frames the VISTA.

A clean, cohesive upgrade was the goal for Jennifer & Gary’s fireplace wall remodel, creating better balance and visual impact in the living room. The original fireplace, TV, and surrounding structure were preserved, while everything around them was rebuilt for a more streamlined look. Cabinetry and shelving were replaced with Waypoint 570F Painted Black base cabinets, finished with satin nickel Alvar hardware. Calacatta Ultra quartz countertops were added to match the kitchen remodel. Three floating shelves on each side were added above the cabinets, with LED strip lighting. All lighting was connected to a new switch installed near the living room entry, and updated wiring powered each location. The tile surrounding the fireplace was replaced with 12x36 Marbelous Silk tiles, laid in a horizontal straight stack pattern and framed with Schluter Jolly Black trim and Arctic White grout. The TV was repositioned slightly lower, and the gas valve was raised to accommodate the new countertop height. A recessed ceiling light was also updated to a matching LED trim.

When this Harbor Island home was originally purchased, the new owner knew that a lot work was needed to transform the whole home to fit his more contemporary style. The Big Sky Design team added new finishes, fireplaces, window treatments and completed a full kitchen and master bath renovation. In the kitchen they added a new island, new custom stained wood detailed bulkhead, Cambria Quartz countertop and backsplash as well as custom finished cabinetry. The master bath has a sleek new tiled wall, all new plumbing and fixtures, lighting and custom concrete sinks. With numerous windows around the perimeter of the home, the space feels open, light and airy. The home is surrounded by palm trees on the exterior all at the perfect heigh to provide privacy and a touch of classic Wrightsville Beach feel. The final look is sleek and handsome and the perfect space for the client to call home! || Photography: Mark Steelman (marksteelmanphoto.com)
