The Currant dining chair takes inspiration from classic mid-century design and showcases the eye-catching vibrant colors found in Greenington’s new Amber bamboo. Modern design with a timeless appeal, and quality crafted in earth friendly solid bamboo, Currant is built to last. Design details include slim tapered legs, and a gracefully curved solid bamboo seat and back providing comfortable support. The simple silhouette and city scale of the chairs work well when space is a premium, and combine to bring beauty, strength, and comfort to your dining room. The popular Currant dining chairs ship fully assembled in your choice of four finishes, solid Amber, Caramelized, Black Walnut or rich Sable. The Currant makes it easy for you to promote sustainability in a lovely, classic, and functional way in your home.
Sustainable and environmentally safe, the Amber color is not a stain finish, simply an innovation created using earth friendly heat, steam, and pressure to transform the bamboo into Amber’s deep color. The finished product displays a beautiful grain pattern with continuous color throughout the entire material. Variation in grain and color enrich the natural beauty of bamboo furniture and make each piece unique. Slight differences in bamboo shade colors are signs that the furniture has been crafted from solid bamboo and is considered a benchmark of quality.

The client approached us with a clear vision in mind for their kitchen in Fraserburgh: an open-plan, modern design that would accommodate their large family. Essential to this vision was the integration of an island, complete with a secondary eating area. This space was not only to be visually appealing but also functionally efficient, as it would need to cater to family gatherings and daily activities. The desire for ample seating and a spacious table, along with additional specific storage solutions, set the stage for our design choices.
Drawing inspiration from the client's requirements, we opted for the Nolte Feel range, complemented by Silver MatrixArt handleless trims. The primary colour for the furniture was chosen as white, with a contrasting accent in Feel Lava to add a touch of modern sophistication. To further enhance the open feel, we made structural modifications: the existing kitchen window was lowered to usher in more natural light and provide an improved viewing angle. Additionally, the entrance to the sun lounge was broadened to foster a more expansive atmosphere.
A kitchen's functionality is determined largely by its worktops and appliances. For this space, we used a sturdy 40mm thick Nolte Silver Ash worktop, providing both durability and style. In terms of appliances, we decided upon NEFF's range, which included a single oven, combination microwave, induction hob, and ceiling extraction, ensuring the client's culinary needs were well catered for.
Recognising the family's unique requirements, we introduced several bespoke features. The Blanco Metra sink in Tartufo and the Quooker Fusion Square Stainless Steel instant boiling water tap combined functionality with modern aesthetics. With the client's large family in mind, we constructed a matching Nolte table and a built-in seating bench replete with storage drawers, maximising both seating and storage. Additionally, a custom-built unit for log storage was designed, mirroring the style of the kitchen, to serve their log-burning stove. The flooring, using Quickstep Arte, tied everything together, adding a touch of elegance to the room.

Step into our meticulously renovated modern farmhouse kitchen, a harmonious blend of classic charm and contemporary style. Every inch of this space has been carefully curated to create a welcoming and functional hub for our family.
The heart of this renovation lies in the open-concept design. We took down walls and removed barriers, ushering in a sense of unity with the rest of the home. As a result, the kitchen now seamlessly integrates with the adjoining living and dining areas, making it the ideal space for both meal preparation and entertaining. The flow of natural light is enhanced, and the connection between rooms is invigorating.
Underfoot, we've installed new white oak hardwood flooring that adds warmth and texture to the space. Its natural beauty complements the farmhouse aesthetic, tying the room together with a timeless grace. The flooring is not only practical but also sets the stage for the kitchen's color palette, blending seamlessly with the beautiful green cabinets with gold hardware.
The centerpiece of this kitchen is the new cabinetry, resplendent in a rich, earthy green finish. These cabinets provide a stunning contrast to the fresh, clean white surroundings, infusing the space with personality and depth. Their shaker-style doors evoke a rustic, farmhouse sensibility, while the gold hardware accents in the cabinetry create a visual interest that draws the eye and invites touch. This combination of green and gold adds a unique, vibrant character to the room, making it truly one-of-a-kind.
Our choice of a farm sink is another nod to the farmhouse tradition. It's a deep, apron-front sink that exudes a rustic yet functional appeal. The oak detail on the bottom of the sink ties in with the cabinet accents, achieving a delightful sense of cohesion. Its generous basin and sturdy construction make meal prep and cleanup a breeze, all while remaining aesthetically pleasing.
The walls, once bland and uninspiring, now boast a fresh coat of paint that complements the cabinetry and flooring. Soft, neutral hues create a serene atmosphere, allowing the room to breathe and feel even more spacious. This thoughtful color choice serves as a canvas for personal touches and decor, making it easy to change the ambiance to suit any occasion or season.
To add the finishing touch to our modern farmhouse kitchen, we've carefully selected new light fixtures. These fixtures are both functional and decorative, elevating the overall aesthetic of the space. They provide a warm and inviting ambiance during evenings, setting the stage for cozy family dinners or gatherings with friends.
Our renovated modern farmhouse kitchen is a testament to the power of design and thoughtful renovation. It brings together classic elements with a contemporary sensibility, resulting in a space that is as practical as it is aesthetically pleasing. Whether you're whipping up a delicious meal, enjoying a cup of coffee, or hosting friends and family, this kitchen is the heart of our home and a true expression of our style and personality, with its captivating green cabinetry adding a distinctive, vibrant touch to the overall design.

The journey to creating Promise Lane was marked by a commitment to detail and excellence, epitomized by the design of the home's entrance. This wasn't just any entrance; it was conceived as a covered balcony, a welcoming embrace to all who approached, characterized by a special timber frame beam that spoke volumes of the project's architectural integrity and aesthetic ambition. This design choice was not merely functional; it was symbolic, representing a gateway to innovation and sustainable living.
The special timber frame beam, chosen for its robustness and visual appeal, became the cornerstone of this unique entrance. It supported not just the physical structure of the covered balcony but also the philosophical foundation of the entire project. The careful selection of timber, known for its durability and beauty, reflected a deeper appreciation for natural materials and a commitment to utilizing resources that complement the environment rather than detract from it.
Beyond the beam, every part of the entrance was meticulously planned and executed. The attention to detail was paramount, from the selection of joinery that would ensure longevity and resist the elements, to the precise angles of the balcony that maximized the view while providing shelter and comfort. This entrance was designed to be more than a mere threshold; it was an invitation to a space where design and nature coalesce, where every detail contributes to a harmonious whole.
The covered balcony, with its timber frame, serves as a serene lookout and a symbol of the home’s open-armed welcome. It’s a space that invites reflection, offering views of the surrounding landscape while standing as a testament to the craftsmanship and vision that define the Promise Lane project. Here, the fusion of traditional materials with modern design principles creates a timeless aesthetic that resonates with the values of sustainability and innovation that Happy Healthy Home holds dear.
As the family who now resides in this house steps onto the covered balcony, they are enveloped in the craftsmanship and thoughtfulness that the entrance embodies. This space, with its special timber frame beam and attention to every detail, is more than an architectural feature; it is a manifestation of the care, creativity, and commitment that went into creating a home that is truly a haven, promising a future where design, sustainability, and beauty are in perfect harmony.

It doesn’t always require a major reconfiguration to accomplish a major transformation. That was certainly the case with this gorgeous kitchen remodel! Although these homeowners were eager for some significant improvements, there were a few things that were still working for them. Collaborating with their designer, they elected to stick with the original footprint of the kitchen, keep their red oak flooring, and integrate the original quaint brick backsplash. So how did we create such a dramatically different space while preserving such foundational elements? There were a few key revisions that made all the difference…
Most notably, we brought the light! What a major impact this made…from floor to ceiling! To start, refinishing the dark hardwood floors restored their brilliance and lightened them considerably. The warm white custom cabinetry and light-toned quartz countertops gave this kitchen an updated look that is transformational. Raising the dropped ceiling, we replaced the florescent lighting with recessed lights and added modern pendant lights over the peninsula. We painted the wood trim and window casings and exchanged the aging wood windows for white vinyl windows. Collectively, these design choices give the impression of a more spacious kitchen, but it remains within the existing footprint.
As always, careful consideration was given to the cabinet design to maximize the space and functionality of this kitchen.
Raising the ceiling allowed for taller upper cabinets. The full-height pantry now provides generous storage for food and small appliances, and even houses their microwave oven. The island’s built-in bookcase is the ideal spot to keep cookbooks accessible for quick referencing. Although their former cabinetry did have a fixed wine rack, the new design makes this corner a lovely focal feature—a proper wine bar in our opinion. The matte black cabinet hardware is simple and current, contrasting beautifully with the white cabinetry, giving it that updated farmhouse appeal.

The client approached us with a clear vision in mind for their kitchen in Fraserburgh: an open-plan, modern design that would accommodate their large family. Essential to this vision was the integration of an island, complete with a secondary eating area. This space was not only to be visually appealing but also functionally efficient, as it would need to cater to family gatherings and daily activities. The desire for ample seating and a spacious table, along with additional specific storage solutions, set the stage for our design choices.
Drawing inspiration from the client's requirements, we opted for the Nolte Feel range, complemented by Silver MatrixArt handleless trims. The primary colour for the furniture was chosen as white, with a contrasting accent in Feel Lava to add a touch of modern sophistication. To further enhance the open feel, we made structural modifications: the existing kitchen window was lowered to usher in more natural light and provide an improved viewing angle. Additionally, the entrance to the sun lounge was broadened to foster a more expansive atmosphere.
A kitchen's functionality is determined largely by its worktops and appliances. For this space, we used a sturdy 40mm thick Nolte Silver Ash worktop, providing both durability and style. In terms of appliances, we decided upon NEFF's range, which included a single oven, combination microwave, induction hob, and ceiling extraction, ensuring the client's culinary needs were well catered for.
Recognising the family's unique requirements, we introduced several bespoke features. The Blanco Metra sink in Tartufo and the Quooker Fusion Square Stainless Steel instant boiling water tap combined functionality with modern aesthetics. With the client's large family in mind, we constructed a matching Nolte table and a built-in seating bench replete with storage drawers, maximising both seating and storage. Additionally, a custom-built unit for log storage was designed, mirroring the style of the kitchen, to serve their log-burning stove. The flooring, using Quickstep Arte, tied everything together, adding a touch of elegance to the room.

Tiered of the looking out at a shabby brown lawn in their front yard and unwilling to use the water to keep it green these homeowners decided to go for something different. The wife in this household worked from home and was motivated to have a better view from her home office. As an enthusiastic bird watcher, I wanted to give her a view that included happy birds fluttering about. The husband was annoyed by the fact that some of the neighbors allowed their dogs to use this corner lot a toilet without having the curtesy of cleaning up after them.
My job was to create a low water landscape (also known as xeriscape) that attracted birds, bees and butterflies but kept the dogs off. We started with directing down spouts in to catch basins called infiltration swales. These swales capture water storing it in the soil where it can be accessed by plants months after the rains have stopped. Then we integrated primarily California native plants and succulents into the design. Special attention was payed to the water needs of the plants and the ideal growing conditions for each species so that the combination of earthworks and plant choice and placement this landscape can get by with zero supplemental irrigation after the period of establishment this landscape. By incorporating flowering California native plants, native birds and insects flocked to the site in a neighborhood otherwise dominated by lifeless landscapes. By surrounding the garden with decomposed granite and succulents we created a space that was unpleasant and unappealing for dogs to relive themselves while remaining appealing to more human sensibilities.
Today this property sits on the corner in a suburban neighborhood of Goleta, California. Hopefully serving as inspiration to take out lawns and build beautiful gardens that work to integrate the man made landscape with the natural ecosystem in which it is built.
