This well used but dreary bathroom was ready for an update but this time, materials were selected that not only looked great but would stand the test of time. The large steam shower (6x6') was like a dark cave with one glass door allowing light. To create a brighter shower space and the feel of an even larger shower, the wall was removed and full glass panels now allowed full sunlight streaming into the shower which avoids the growth of mold and mildew in this newly brighter space which also expands the bathroom by showing all the spaces. Originally the dark shower was permeated with cracks in the marble marble material and bench seat so mold and mildew had a home. The designer specified Porcelain slabs for a carefree un-penetrable material that had fewer grouted seams and added luxury to the new bath. Although Quartz is a hard material and fine to use in a shower, it is not suggested for steam showers because there is some porosity. A free standing bench was fabricated from quartz which works well. A new free standing, hydrotherapy tub was installed allowing more free space around the tub area and instilling luxury with the use of beautiful marble for the walls and flooring. A lovely crystal chandelier emphasizes the height of the room and the lovely tall window.. Two smaller vanities were replaced by a larger U shaped vanity allotting two corner lazy susan cabinets for storing larger items. The center cabinet was used to store 3 laundry bins that roll out, one for towels and one for his and one for her delicates. Normally this space would be a makeup dressing table but since we were able to design a large one in her closet, she felt laundry bins were more needed in this bathroom. Instead of constructing a closet in the bathroom, the designer suggested an elegant glass front French Armoire to not encumber the space with a wall for the closet.The new bathroom is stunning and stops the heart on entering with all the luxurious amenities.

The clients wanted a large sofa that could house the whole family. With three teenagers, we decide to go with a custom leather slate blue Tuftytime sofa. The vintage chairs and rug are from Round Top Antique Fair, as well at the cool “Scientist” painting that was from an old apothecary in Germany.

Taking direction from the homeowner, we designed and fabricated this “Soho” rustic Naples ocean front kitchen with a pair of dimensional floor to ceiling louvered doors concealing dual refrigerator freezers and accordion ocean blue shutters that lift with re-purposed antique hardware. With the addition of aesthetic steel eye beams creating a steel coffer design, dual flanked apothecary cabinets, custom hood and duct work by Gallery Steel, and a hand scraped Walnut planked island set on large parsons’ legs, this space exudes character with layers of textured surfaces and facades. Remaining the favorite gathering place for the family, this kitchen is functional, casual, and comfortable.
