This client came to us with a very clear vision of what she wanted, but she needed help to refine and execute the design. At our first meeting she described her style as somewhere between modern rustic and ‘granny chic’ – she likes cozy spaces with nods to the past, but also wanted to blend that with the more contemporary tastes of her husband and children. In addition to renovating the kitchen, we updated the entire first floor with refinished hardwoods, new paint, rustic wainscoting, wallcovering and beautiful new stained wood doors. Our client had been dreaming and planning this renovation for 17 years and we’re thrilled we were able to bring it to life.

Extensive work was required on this property to deal with both the poor existing condition as well as to expand the livability of the interior and enhance the exterior appearance. The new open kitchen and informal eating area provide great natural light and extensive views to the rear yard and outdoor entertainment space. The scope of the work also included the addition of a new bedroom, new master bedroom suite (formerly a maid's quarters), children's play area, and expanded garage.

Multiple renovations! Newly finished basement is a perfect kids space/entertainment area that includes a home gym, bathroom, luxury vinyl flooring, dry bar, and storage spaces throughout. 2-Story addition expands first floor to create a bright and open living-dining area. Custom bar for display and storage, beautiful trim work, double entry staircase, new home office. Updated fireplace with stone surround and new mantle. First floor includes updated bathroom and mudroom/laundry with custom built-in storage. Second floor, children's bedrooms were expanded to include custom closet addition. Exterior updates include new siding, trim, doors, windows, and roofing. Interior 2-car garage finished with charging stations, durable epoxy flooring, custom storage and bench.

A family moved from the city to this home just north of Boston. The house was built in the early 2000s and needed some updating - a new kitchen, mudroom, and a laundry room that had to be relocated to the second floor. In addition to the renovations, the couple needed to furnish their home. This included furniture, decor, accessories, wallpaper, window treatments, paint colors etc. Every room was transformed to meet the family's needs and was a reflection of their personality. The end result was a bright, fun and livable home for the couple and their three small children. Max Holiver Photography

This colorful Contemporary design / build project started as an Addition but included new cork flooring and painting throughout the home. The Kitchen also included the creation of a new pantry closet with wire shelving and the Family Room was converted into a beautiful Library with space for the whole family. The homeowner has a passion for picking paint colors and enjoyed selecting the colors for each room. The home is now a bright mix of modern trends such as the barn doors and chalkboard surfaces contrasted by classic LA touches such as the detail surrounding the Living Room fireplace. The Master Bedroom is now a Master Suite complete with high-ceilings making the room feel larger and airy. Perfect for warm Southern California weather! Speaking of the outdoors, the sliding doors to the green backyard ensure that this white room still feels as colorful as the rest of the home. The Master Bathroom features bamboo cabinetry with his and hers sinks. The light blue walls make the blue and white floor really pop. The shower offers the homeowners a bench and niche for comfort and sliding glass doors and subway tile for style. The Library / Family Room features custom built-in bookcases, barn door and a window seat; a readers dream! The Children’s Room and Dining Room both received new paint and flooring as part of their makeover. However the Children’s Bedroom also received a new closet and reading nook. The fireplace in the Living Room was made more stylish by painting it to match the walls – one of the only white spaces in the home! However the deep blue accent wall with floating shelves ensure that guests are prepared to see serious pops of color throughout the rest of the home.

Repeat clients of Mountainwood Homes traded their rural property for a downtown Camas, Washington charmer to enjoy a walkable lifestyle while their children finish high school. They bought an original, 1954 midcentury modern home intending to remodel it as a transitional family space before college. The whole house renovation balances modern living with respect for the original architectural character, blending contemporary finishes and functional upgrades to preserve its midcentury charm.

The bathroom is small and no place or storage. We designed a cabinet that was suitable for paper storage, cleaning supplies and added electrical outlet to charge phones, tooth brush etc.. Being a children's bath, we wanted the room to be fun! Thus, we chose the "wave" tile and cobalt blue dots to give it some zip! Cambria quartz was used as the counter top as they have a great selections of blues. The addition of free-hanging-wall shelves adds more storage and helps the wall tile to "pop".

The Owners approached their new project with the thought that it should be a quiet addition, have an appropriate scale, and use the same architectural language as the existing house. What the Owners wanted was a more functional family space for their older children and needed a large kitchen and back entry for this original Myers Park home. The new family room would need to include the antique wood paneling the Owners had acquired. The new kitchen would need to incorporate antique wood beams, a large family table and access to a new pool deck. The back entry would need to have a place for sports bags, coats and charging station. A new landscape plan would be provided which would have a new pool requiring a renovation of an existing guest house.

Initially designed as a bachelor's Sonoma weekend getaway, The Fan House features glass and steel garage-style doors that take advantage of the verdant 40-acre hilltop property. With the addition of a wife and children, the secondary residence's interiors needed to change. Ann Lowengart Interiors created a family-friendly environment while adhering to the homeowner's preference for streamlined silhouettes. In the open living-dining room, a neutral color palette and contemporary furnishings showcase the modern architecture and stunning views. A separate guest house provides a respite for visiting urban dwellers.

This 1990s brick home had decent square footage and a massive front yard, but no way to enjoy it. Each room needed an update, so the entire house was renovated and remodeled, and an addition was put on over the existing garage to create a symmetrical front. The old brown brick was painted a distressed white. The 500sf 2nd floor addition includes 2 new bedrooms for their teen children, and the 12'x30' front porch lanai with standing seam metal roof is a nod to the homeowners' love for the Islands. Each room is beautifully appointed with large windows, wood floors, white walls, white bead board ceilings, glass doors and knobs, and interior wood details reminiscent of Hawaiian plantation architecture. The kitchen was remodeled to increase width and flow, and a new laundry / mudroom was added in the back of the existing garage. The master bath was completely remodeled. Every room is filled with books, and shelves, many made by the homeowner. Project photography by Kmiecik Imagery.

The beautiful, old barn on this Topsfield estate was at risk of being demolished. Before approaching Mathew Cummings, the homeowner had met with several architects about the structure, and they had all told her that it needed to be torn down. Thankfully, for the sake of the barn and the owner, Cummings Architects has a long and distinguished history of preserving some of the oldest timber framed homes and barns in the U.S. Once the homeowner realized that the barn was not only salvageable, but could be transformed into a new living space that was as utilitarian as it was stunning, the design ideas began flowing fast. In the end, the design came together in a way that met all the family’s needs with all the warmth and style you’d expect in such a venerable, old building. On the ground level of this 200-year old structure, a garage offers ample room for three cars, including one loaded up with kids and groceries. Just off the garage is the mudroom – a large but quaint space with an exposed wood ceiling, custom-built seat with period detailing, and a powder room. The vanity in the powder room features a vanity that was built using salvaged wood and reclaimed bluestone sourced right on the property. Original, exposed timbers frame an expansive, two-story family room that leads, through classic French doors, to a new deck adjacent to the large, open backyard. On the second floor, salvaged barn doors lead to the master suite which features a bright bedroom and bath as well as a custom walk-in closet with his and hers areas separated by a black walnut island. In the master bath, hand-beaded boards surround a claw-foot tub, the perfect place to relax after a long day. In addition, the newly restored and renovated barn features a mid-level exercise studio and a children’s playroom that connects to the main house. From a derelict relic that was slated for demolition to a warmly inviting and beautifully utilitarian living space, this barn has undergone an almost magical transformation to become a beautiful addition and asset to this stately home.

We also created a vanity for the room by placing together a desk, mirror, and chair. It was the perfect addition for a little girl who loves to play dress up, but the vanity can easily transition into a desk for when she starts school and needs a space to do homework.

Our customers loved their home but always knew they wanted to remodel their primary and upstairs hallway bathrooms. Both were original to the home, and functionality, look, and amenities desperately needed updating. Inspired by the stunning blue tile that they themselves found, our customers partnered with MOSS to create a primary bathroom that better suited their needs. From the vanities with tip outs, pull outs and much better storage, to the elegant soaking tub that is better suited to the homeowners, and finally, to the shower with the rain system they had always wanted, the primary bathroom is now the space our customers can enjoy for years to come. Additionally, the upstairs hallway bathroom was updated to create a better space for the children in the home, with more storage, more attractive and unique floor and shower tile, and much more. Touches of design choices here and there added the final layer of perfection to these beautiful new bathrooms.
