This bathroom balances warmth and refinement with rich cherry cabinetry set against a soft, hexagonal charcoal-toned tile floor, grounding the space with organic texture underfoot. Matte black hardware — including sleek bar pulls on the vanity drawers and a striking sculptural fixture — adds a modern, tailored edge that contrasts beautifully with the natural wood grain. Subway tile in a soft handmade finish wraps the tub surround, lending a subtle, artisanal quality, while the deep soaking tub offers a clean, restful anchor to the room. The overall effect is quietly sophisticated: a space that feels grounded, tactile, and thoughtfully composed, where every material choice works in harmony to create a serene retreat.

Organic, warm, refreshing primary bedroom with walnut moments galore.

My client has very wide windows in her dining room and living room in her contemporary home. She needed solar heat control and insulation, and needed to cover 30 widths of window. That's a lot of fabric. She found a fabric she liked. The challenge was to fabricate these draperies in such a way that her functional needs were met and we kept the budget in control. O ordered her a yard piece of the fabric and gave her a yard piece each of lining and thermal lining and interlining to hang up while she made a decision. I collaborated with my fabric distributor, who suggested making pencil pleat draperies at 1/1/2 times fullness versus the traditional 2 1/2 times fullness, thus saving a lot on fabric. The result was perfect.

Custom patchwork cowhide rug made in natural hides, especially for Jeannie. She came with an idea and sketch for a custom rug for her vacation home in Aspen, CO. Once the final design was decided, we selected may hides that would look very similar between one another and cut every patch by hand. This is the result of a very custom, handcrafted, special job! :)
