Diane Wagner This young man had bought this new house and had never bought furniture to capture his personality or life style. He wanted it casual, comfortable with some sophistication. We gave him a great sectional, wood and iron table and new rug. We added new sconces and two very comfortable swivel chairs for TV viewing. We had the TV mounted over the FP. The lighting is all vintage iron chic. The rugs we added are indoor/outdoor so he has no worries about stains or his dog.

Scope of Work: Total renovation and inclusion of garage square footage. Converted 1950’s ranch home, 4/2 into modern 4/4.5 with a Master Suite and an Office. Cost: $95,000 Client Feedback: “We’ll never move again! We were exhausted by looking for a place in our neighborhood and finding nothing affordable. This was the best thing we could’ve done. John’s vision and gentle style made us so comfortable with the choice to stay and now we are all living so comfortably in our new spaces we could not be happier”. Maria and George L.

CANVAS & TIMBER An art lover's home, warmed by wood and stone. DESIGN DESCRIPTION This home is built around a passion for painting. In the living room, a salon-style gallery wall of landscape canvases rises against rich charcoal grasscloth, above a black leather sofa scattered with vibrant kilim cushions. Drum-shaped iron-and-wood coffee tables, a soft hide rug and wire-frame chairs mix rustic texture with modern lines. The open plan flows to a plank-top dining table with black leather chairs, and on to a family room where a stacked stone fireplace and walls of windows bring the outdoors in. Here, a velvet slipper chair, a red knit pouf and golden gourd vessels add playful colour. In the entry, an antique writing desk sits beside a classic oak staircase, framed by more treasured artwork. Warm, personal and endlessly inviting, it is a home that tells its owners' story.

My clients had outgrown their builder’s basic home and had plenty of room to expand on their 10 acres. Working with a local architect and a talented contractor, we designed an addition to create 3 new bedrooms, a bathroom scaled for all 3 girls, a playroom and a master retreat including 3 fireplaces, sauna, steam shower, office or “creative room”, and large bedroom with folding glass wall to capitalize on their view. The master suite, gym, pool and tennis courts are still under construction, but the girls’ suite and living room space are complete and dust free. Each child’s room was designed around their preference of color scheme and each girl has a unique feature that makes their room truly their own. The oldest daughter has a secret passage hidden behind what looks like built in cabinetry. The youngest daughter wanted to “swing”, so we outfitted her with a hanging bed set in front of a custom mural created by a Spanish artist. The middle daughter is an elite gymnast, so we added monkey bars so she can cruise her room in style. The girls’ bathroom suite has 3 identical “stations” with abundant storage. Cabinetry in black walnut and peacock blue and white quartz counters with white marble backsplash are durable and beautiful. Two shower stalls, designed with a colorful and intricate tile design, prevent bathroom wait times and a custom wall mural brings a little of the outdoors in.

Location: Denver, CO, USA Dado designed this 4,000 SF condo from top to bottom. A full-scale buildout was required, with custom fittings throughout. The brief called for design solutions that catered to both the client’s desire for comfort and easy functionality, along with a modern aesthetic that could support their bold and colorful art collection. The name of the game - calm modernism. Neutral colors and natural materials were used throughout. "After a couple of failed attempts with other design firms we were fortunate to find Megan Moore. We were looking for a modern, somewhat minimalist design for our newly built condo in Cherry Creek North. We especially liked Megan’s approach to design: specifically to look at the entire space and consider its flow from every perspective. Megan is a gifted designer who understands the needs of her clients. She spent considerable time talking to us to fully understand what we wanted. Our work together felt like a collaboration and partnership. We always felt engaged and informed. We also appreciated the transparency with product selection and pricing. Megan brought together a talented team of artisans and skilled craftsmen to complete the design vision. From wall coverings to custom furniture pieces we were always impressed with the quality of the workmanship. And, we were never surprised about costs or timing. We’ve gone back to Megan several times since our first project together. Our condo is now a Zen-like place of calm and beauty that we enjoy every day. We highly recommend Megan as a designer."

How often do we get to be THIS girly!? Not too often. But, when we get the chance, you know we're going to go all out! From white lacquer built-in cabinets with crystal door knobs we converted to pulls, kate spade desk accessories (she does it right!) Acrylic accents. Tufted blush colored guest chairs with contrasting buttons and piping. Striped brown and white walls. Velvet blush curtains. Mirrored sideboards, Chesterfield tufted sofa with crystal buttons! The list goes one! We never wanted to leave! ;)

This homeowner wanted to totally remodel her kitchen that had never been changed since it was originally built. We started by removing all the existing cabinets and installing all new cabinets. She went with a white shaker door for all the cabinets, while the island was done in a pepper gray color. We also replaced the traditional pantry doors with new tall cabinets that matched the rest of the new cabinets. We next installed a glossy dark gray tile backsplash that is offset by the white of the cabinetry. Above the backsplash we put power strip outlets hidden under the tall cabinets. To complete the new look, we installed a white base quartz with gray veins. Now this is a kitchen that she is proud to show off to family and friends.

The showhouse was cancelled due to Covid19 days before the last props arrived. The design plan included a hair-on-hide zebra print ottoman instead of the coffee table, and there were large trees planned in the corners on each side of the fireplace. We had to remove everything just before those items arrived, so we never got the final photos. Even so, the room was still very inviting and unusual.

This was a total transformation from a house that was the House of Dreams in Kennesaw for 1997, but that kitchen didn't stand the test of time. The new one will never get old! The client helped a ton with this one, we pulled out all the details we could fit into this space.
