This project transformed a single-family home in Los Feliz, showcasing a seamless blend of Japandi and mid-century modern styles in the main bathroom remodel and a bold, eclectic design in the newly added half bath. The main bathroom features a large walk-in shower with a built-in bench, a quartz-lined niche, and a round window that bathes the space in natural light. The design highlights include Terrazzo tile flooring, a Japandi-inspired accent wall that extends behind the vanity mirror, and natural wood cabinetry with a sleek quartz countertop. The vintage-modern Lexi sconces add playful elegance, completing the serene retreat. The newly added half bath combines vibrant terrazzo tiles with Zen White wallpaper inspired by Japanese stone gardens, creating a tranquil yet dynamic aesthetic. A solid wood vanity with horizontal slats and steel legs complements the design, while two white-trimmed casement windows flood the space with natural light. This project balances functional upgrades with sophisticated design, bringing harmony, warmth, and character to the home.

Built in the early 1950s, this small urban townhouse is located in North Old Town Alexandria in an area currently undergoing major redevelopment. The neighborhood is popular with, and affordable for, young people and families, and very convenient to Washington, DC. In its heyday, the townhouse touted a stately brick exterior, plaster walls, tongue and groove wood flooring and beautiful wooden staircase. Sixty years later, however, the homeowners were faced with crumbling masonry, sagging floors, a double layer of wallpaper over the plaster walls, a crumbling staircase, a dysfunctional kitchen and small, dark second floor rooms. Additionally, the basement had a low ceiling, moldy and cinder block walls, no plumbing and a large boiler taking up most of the space. The homeowners’ goal was to restore the exterior’s historic look while creating an interior up-to-date for the 21st Century. To turn their vision into reality, they turned to Michael Nash Design, Build & Homes. Design Solutions To maintain the townhome’s historic exterior, the Michael Nash team carefully removed, salvaged, restored and reused existing brick masonry. Matching fascia boards and windows were combined with existing windows to complete the exterior renovation. All interior walls were gutted and reframed. New electrical work, new insulation and new drywall were installed. Much of the home’s original trim was salvaged and reused, as was a piece of art glass, all to keep a bit of the past in the renovation. The sagging subfloors were fixed, new hard wood floors were installed and a new staircase and railing were designed in a style similar to the original. The solid wall between the kitchen and the dining room was removed, plumbing was relocated for a new sink location and the kitchen got expanded with an island into the dining room. Closet and plumbing stacks were relocated to allow a new space for fridge. Stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and custom cabinetry highlight the new modern kitchen. The plan called for redesigning the three bedrooms on the second floor to allow a larger bathroom, walk-in closet and wider hallways. In addition to new roofing, a large skylight was installed to allow natural light into the bathroom and the upper hallway. The basement was totally revamped. New plumbing was put in place for a full bathroom, laundry room and a den. New e-grass window was installed in the basement to bring this basement up to current building codes. This homeowners love the neighborhood and now their home gives them the opportunity to stay in the same location.

2012 NARI CAPITAL COTY, MERIT AWARD WINNER, RESIDENTIAL ADDITION UNDER $100,000 The owners of this split-foyer home have lived in Mclean for more than 15 years. As their children have grown, so has their need for added space. And even though they remodeled their kitchen about 10 years ago, the 12’ x 10’ room doesn’t meet their current needs. This latest addition again increases the size of the kitchen and adds a large barbeque deck and screened-in porch as well. Highlights of the new kitchen include a large center island for food preparation and seating, as well as new stainless steel appliances.

Kirkland clients, Shayna and Anthony had a lovely home with a beautiful view of Lake Washington. However, the waterfront side of their home didn’t offer an ideal set-up to fully enjoy the magnificence that their lot provides. They desired more year-round use of their home in the form of an outdoor covered living room, along with more overall functionality from their outdoor spaces. Their formal living area had a door to the outside that the couple never used. The McAdams Remodeling & Design team replaced the sliding door with a window that still offered plenty of natural light but enclosed the space providing more options for furniture placement. The room’s exterior stairs and landing were removed. The exterior siding was matched, and the new landscaping along with an arbor installed, was created in tandem during the remodel by a local landscape architecture firm, ensuring the change looked natural. Past the seating around the gas firepit, a new large deck was constructed, half of which was covered, to replace the smaller, dated version. The metal railing was exchanged for a new composite one, and a new Dutch back door leading from the kitchen offers an alternative option for ingress and egress along with fresh air on nice days. The covered deck area adjacent to the family room provides protection from the weather and now houses the outdoor kitchen they desired for entertaining family and friends. The outdoor kitchen includes a built-in gas grill, stone gas fireplace, refrigerator for food and beverages, and a garbage receptacle. A ceiling fan and heaters are incorporated into the outdoor living space design to provide year-round comfort. Finally, retractable shades were installed so that the couple can enclose the space if desired. A small upstairs bedroom was used as a den for relaxation and reading but also contains one of the best views in the home. The McAdams team removed the windows and base bulkhead, adding floor to ceiling windows and a glass door for an unobstructed view. The new medium-sized deck above the covered outdoor living space gives Shayna and Anthony the opportunity to entertain or relax while highlighting their view of the lake. Finally, their Juliet balcony off the primary bedroom received a re-coated railing and new decking, while the home was repainted to offer a classy craftsman feel and pull all of the changes into one cohesive home design. Shayna and Anthony love their new entertainment spaces and expect to use them often.

Kitchen – Integrated Vent Hood, Slab Stone Backsplash & Two-Tone Wood Grain Design | Toronto This kitchen view builds on the same refined millwork language, with added emphasis on the full-height stone slab backsplash, selected specifically to eliminate grout lines and maintain a clean, uninterrupted surface. The slab backsplash enhances durability, simplifies maintenance, and reinforces the kitchen’s modern, high-end aesthetic. The custom vent hood cover is precisely matched to the upper cabinet door profile, allowing it to disappear seamlessly into the millwork rather than read as a separate appliance element. This creates a cohesive upper cabinet line and keeps the visual focus on material quality and proportion. A two-tone wood grain palette adds warmth and depth to the space while maintaining a contemporary feel. Subtle contrast between finishes helps define the cooking zone without overwhelming the overall design. Integrated flush under-cabinet lighting provides effective task illumination while remaining visually discreet. By recessing the lighting, the cabinetry maintains crisp edges and highlights the stone backsplash and work surfaces below without glare. This image reflects Cedarstone Group Inc.’s design-build approach at its best: aligning cabinetry, lighting, appliances, and material selections early so the finished kitchen feels intentional, seamless, and timeless.
