Experience the epitome of lakeside luxury with our breathtaking contemporary modern white oak built-in entertainment wall. Nestled against the backdrop of tranquil waters, this masterpiece of design seamlessly integrates style, functionality, and natural beauty to create a truly captivating focal point for your living space.
Crafted from exquisite white oak, the sleek and minimalist design of this entertainment wall exudes a sense of modern sophistication, while the warm tones of the wood add a touch of natural charm to the ambiance. Its expansive structure offers ample storage space for all your entertainment needs, with spacious cabinets and shelves elegantly concealed behind seamless surfaces.

High end finishes like marble, glass and gold fixtures really elevated this bathroom’s previously “coHage-y” look.
The space was expanded by pushing into a bathroom on an adjoining wall, ( See POW-der Room project). The other bathroom scaled down to become a powder room, leaving ample space for this primary bath to become the elegant retreat that the owner wanted.

This handsome all white brick two-story home with a three car garage was constructed on our client’s property in Flowery Branch GA. The exterior of the home features ornamental wooden gable and roof brackets as well as a three-window dormer. The front entrance, with it glass double-doors, allows ample natural lighting into the foyer. The foyer leads to a formal office on the left with a glass paneled barn-door style opening. On the right of the foyer is a formal dining room with a craftsman style tray ceiling and a wood-inlaid designer wall. There are hardwood floors throughout the home.
The family room features an exposed beam coffered ceiling and a stone fireplace flanked by built-in cabinets and bookshelves. The family room flows through to the kitchen with its designer cabinets and expansive island, which is suitable for both food preparation and a seating area. The horizontal double-oven and the six-burner stove have the convenience of a pot filler for gourmet cooking. The pantry has an exceptional amount of shelves and sliding baskets for storage.
The master bedroom has a sitting area, tray ceiling, personal refrigerator and wet bar. The exquisite master bath includes a soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, his-and-hers vanity and a water closet. The massive master closet was designed with bountiful hanging and shelf space as well as a closet island and a fully lit dressing mirror.
The home was built on a full basement which has interior walls and utilities roughed in for future expansion. This area also includes two more parking garage stalls. The outdoor living space provides many hosting and entertainment options with its covered patio and outdoor fireplace as well as the in-ground pool and hot tub.

Renovisions was contacted by a client who purchased a home from one of their former customers. Apparently, they loved the kitchen and bathroom projects completed by Renovisions and thought to seek no further when faced with a bathroom plumbing leak at the tub area in the bath that had not been remodeled. After water damaged the existing floor and leaked into the kitchen below, they found the need to undergo a complete full bath ‘Renovision’. The challenge was to complete the project before our client had her baby.
Assisting the client with the insurance claim was the first order of business, then onto the enjoyable process of selecting products based on an agreed upon design. A deeper soaking tub, ample vanity storage and brighter, low maintenance materials were top of mind. We tailored a design plan to fit our clients budget and what they found most appealing. A beautiful oak vanity with a dark stain looks stunning with the light Carrera-look countertop and wood-look plank-styled slip resistant flooring. The decorative chrome mirror and blue-green hue on the walls soften the overall look of the space and provides a spa-like feel. The deeper tub not only allows our client to bath her newborn with ease but also to relax and pamper herself after a long day of work.
“Thank you for everything! My husband and I are very excited about this project, it came out beautiful! Choosing all the products right from your showroom was an amazing experience.”
- Chris & Julie M. (Rockland)

This dramatically striking high-tech home of 6376 livable square feet is literally a piece of contemporary art Astounding mountain and valley views frame the Phoenix city lights at night over the infinity edge pool and disappearing spa. The focal point of the main living area is a copper and fire display centered on two 24 feet corners of remote controlled, motorized retractable glass. The adjacent game room and home theater, featuring another 16 feet of remote controlled, motorized retractable glass, opens to make this home truly indoor/outdoor.
A stunning 12-foot tall water wall with art niches behind it lends grandeur to the entryway. The kitchen has every conceivable luxury, as well as a hidden pantry flanked by a dual Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer. The one of a kind powder room features an electrically charged glass door that turns opaque at the touch of a button, as well as a glass floor above a changeable display, and floating glass sink. Playful walls at unexpected angles, curves, and textures fill the home. Sculpted glass, a body spray multi head shower, hidden TV, and other luxuries enhance the luxurious spa like atmosphere of the master bath.
The master suite is set off by a cantilevered "floating" fireplace of flames dancing on sand, as well as a breakfast bar with built in Meile coffee center. 4 large bedrooms, each with a separate bathroom, and a separate pool bath complete with redwood sauna and CD-player as well as a study and exercise room. Four large vehicles can be stored in the ample garage space, or a tandem area could be altered to the client’s pleasure. Custom cabinets, lighting, flooring, granite, and metal accents are used throughout the home, as are the highest end brand names in appliances and fixtures This is an "Energy Star" rated efficient home, with guaranteed heating/cooling bills making it the most energy efficient home possible.

These wonderful window boxes were designed and planted by Douglas C Lynn, Landscape Architect . These window boxes were designed with decorative brackets for looks and stability. Notice how the top of the box fits snug under the brick rowlock and the bottom of the decorative brackets sit on top of the cove water table brick for custom look. The proportions of the pattern were dimensioned to create depth, interest and simplicity ion the design and ample space for planting. These window boxes have a custom aluminum liner with drain hole in the center and flange on top to fit snug around the outside edge of the box itself.

Just above the only full bathroom in the home was also remodeled with a massive improvement on layout. The toilet remained in it’s existing location and everything else moved around, creating space for double vanity along one wall and an ample walk-in shower with pony wall divide next to the toilet. The custom mosaic floor tile is the showstopper of the space!

The Setup:
After purchasing this home, the homeowners faced a unique opportunity to reimagine their kitchen and nearby spaces. Water damage from a burst pipe had left much of the home’s interior in need of repair, and while the existing kitchen was functional and in relatively good shape, it didn’t align with the family’s vision for their new home. The layout included a peninsula that wasn’t ideal, and there were some druthers with the nearby pantry.
Since the space needed to be rebuilt anyway, the homeowners saw this as a chance to create a kitchen that was both highly functional for their four young children and timeless in its design. The project also included a refresh of the adjacent message center and dining room — spaces that play key roles in the family’s daily life. The goal was to create a cohesive flow between these areas, balancing modern functionality with the craftsman-inspired character of the rest of the home.
Design Objectives:
- Replace the outdated peninsula with a large island to maximize counter space and create new seating options.
- Open up the space visually by removing soffits and rethinking the cabinetry layout.
Incorporate concealed refrigeration and freezer units to provide significant storage for the family while maintaining a streamlined aesthetic.
- Integrate black cabinetry into the design without making the space feel harsh or heavy.
- Ensure the lighting plan balances functional task lighting with ambient accent lighting.
- Avoid visual clutter in the cabinetry design while still giving a nod to the craftsman aesthetic.
- Incorporate a slab backsplash as a key design feature.
Design Challenges:
- The outdated peninsula left dead space in the kitchen and lacked sufficient seating for the family.
- The cooktop wall was cramped, with small cabinets flanking the hood, limited storage, and soffits that made the space feel closed-in.
- The family needed significant refrigeration space (two refrigerators and a freezer) but wanted to avoid a cluttered look with visible stainless steel appliances.
- Adding black cabinetry risked making the space feel too dark or heavy.
- The original lighting plan was insufficient, particularly over the dining table where a decorative fixture proved too dim.
- The family wanted shaker-style drawer fronts to match the home’s arts-and-crafts design but worried that too much shaker cabinetry might look overly busy.
- Prioritizing a slab backsplash in the wish list priority planning.
The Renewed Space
Design Solutions:
- A functional island: The peninsula was replaced with a large island that provides continuous countertop space for prepping and serving. The island also features seating for four people, creating a central hub for informal meals and activities.
- Streamlined cooktop wall: The soffits were removed, and the upper cabinets on the cooktop wall were eliminated to create a more open, streamlined design. A custom oversized hood became the focal point of the wall, with the blower unit offset inside it to align with the cooktop while maintaining exterior visual symmetry.
- Concealed refrigeration: Two column refrigerators and one freezer were integrated into the cabinetry, concealing them behind wood paneling that blends seamlessly with the overall design.
- Warm black cabinetry: The black cabinetry was crafted from hickory with a visible grain, softening its appearance and adding warmth. The grain detail gives the cabinetry a rich, textured look that avoids feeling stark or overpowering.
- Additional lighting: In the dining area, recessed can lights were added during an additional installation phase to supplement the gorgeous decorative fixture’s dim output. The new lighting plan creates a layered effect, combining functional task lighting with softer ambient lighting.
- Simplified cabinetry details: Slab drawer fronts were used on the upper drawers, while five-piece shaker fronts (with slightly less prominent rail and stile pieces) were reserved for the middle and lower drawers. This approach simplified the overall look while maintaining the craftsman-inspired aesthetic.
- Slab backsplash priority: The slab backsplash was prioritized by making thoughtful adjustments elsewhere, like opting not to extend cabinetry to the ceiling, which also helped visually prioritize the gorgeous slab backsplash. This decision also enhanced the kitchen’s furniture-like feel, aligning with the home’s craftsman character.
- This kitchen perfectly balances practicality with timeless style. By addressing the family’s functional needs — ample seating, smart storage, and effective lighting — while incorporating thoughtful design elements like warm black cabinetry and a striking slab backsplash, Alicia created a space that works beautifully for a busy household. The result is a cohesive, inviting kitchen that honors the home’s craftsman roots and will serve the family well for years to come.

Whirlpool tub with glass and chrome chandelier above make a statement of luxury in this large master bath with its private water closet and heated porcelain tile floor. The large walk in shower with glass surround and five body jets with rain Forrest overhead and hand held shower heads make this a desired retreat. The white chocolate marble top double vanity in dark chocolate cabinet is an interesting contrast with the pebble wallpaper and pewter painted walls with snowy pine painted custom trim. Granite stone tile boarder and custom chair rail add some warmth definition. Chrome faucets and lighting complete the transitional look. This room has ample room for large furniture pieces.

This project showcases the transformation of a modest family cottage into a highly-functional, year-round waterfront retreat. Through a thoughtfully-designed addition and careful reorganization of interior space, the home now seamlessly combines the charm of its original structure with modern comforts and expanded living spaces, all while preserving views of the stunning riverfront setting.
Key Features:
1. Expanded Entry and Primary Suite: The newly created entryway offers a spacious and functional welcome to the home, featuring a practical laundry room and ample storage space. The private primary bedroom suite, complete with a modern ensuite bathroom, provides a peaceful sanctuary.
2. Sunroom for Year-Round Enjoyment: A light-filled sunroom extends the home’s outdoor living season by offering protection from the elements, allowing the family to enjoy the fresh air and scenic views throughout the year. The room features warm pine finishes on the walls and ceiling, with timber accents that complement the natural surroundings.
3. New River-Facing Deck: The large deck offers a perfect spot for family gatherings and relaxation, with unimpeded views of the water thanks to the use of a glass railing. Designed for both entertaining and quiet reflection, it’s a key feature that strengthens the connection between indoor and outdoor living.
4. Exterior Renovation: The exterior has been fully updated, blending the old cottage’s character with the new additions. A new roof and siding unify the entire structure, giving it a refreshed, cohesive.
5. Reconfigured Interior Spaces: The renovation reorganized key interior spaces, including the relocation of the basement stairs to allow for an expanded completely renovated kitchen and large, open eating area adjacent to the sunroom.
This successful renovation enhances both the functionality and aesthetic of the cottage, transforming it into a beautiful, all-season home that meets the evolving needs of its owners while maintaining a strong connection to the waterfront environment.

This new 1,560 square foot, three bedroom, two bath residence replaces a Paradise, CA home destroyed in the 2018 Camp Fire. The owners wanted an attractive and modest house to live in while they built their dream home on an adjacent lot. The house will later be used as rental income and provide much needed housing in Paradise.
The back of the house faces west towards an excellent view of a stand of oaks that survived the fire. The large rear porch roof provides protection from unwanted glare and the setting summer sun, so the house does not overheat in the summer. The porch also extends the living space and provides excellent year round indoor/outdoor living. It is open framed with rafters so there is an expansive view to the forest and ample diffused daylight throughout the year. It also protects the home from prevailing weather patterns.
The open floor plan provides an outstanding space for entertaining guests with large windows bringing in the outdoors.
Even though the house is built on a sloped lot it is fully barrier free and employs universal design principles throughout including a curbless shower in the Primary Bath.
Several energy efficient materials and methods were used while staying within a modest construction budget. The roof uses a 12” energy heel to allow a consistent insulation blanket in the attic and blown-in blanket (BIB) insulation was used in the walls to provide an R-23 wall assembly, much better than code requirement and better than standard construction. A cool roof, foil backed roof sheathing, heat pump HVAC system, heat pump water heater, and a whole house fan round out the energy efficiency measures of this house.
