From a dark depressing kitchen to a light and airy delight, this kitchen transformation is the success of an artistic team of client and designer. The transition to a farmhouse style kitchen is exactly what this home needed, with painted cabinetry, open industrial-looking shelving, and a custom hood made of authentic barnwood.

The homeowners sought to create a modest, modern, lakeside cottage, nestled into a narrow lot in Tonka Bay. The site inspired a modified shotgun-style floor plan, with rooms laid out in succession from front to back. Simple and authentic materials provide a soft and inviting palette for this modern home. Wood finishes in both warm and soft grey tones complement a combination of clean white walls, blue glass tiles, steel frames, and concrete surfaces. Sustainable strategies were incorporated to provide healthy living and a net-positive-energy-use home. Onsite geothermal, solar panels, battery storage, insulation systems, and triple-pane windows combine to provide independence from frequent power outages and supply excess power to the electrical grid.

Inspiration for an industrial enclosed carpeted family room remodel in Oklahoma City with gray walls

With stunning views of the Annisquam River, this beautiful first period home was constructed in 1690 for Nathanial Harraden, sailing master of the USS Constitution. It is believed to be the oldest remaining house in this neighborhood of Gloucester. Our extensive historic restoration preserved the integrity and historic details of the original structure, which had been altered significantly over time. Deteriorated structural elements were repaired or rebuilt, and historic elements including beams were revealed. A bright new kitchen and bathrooms provide a functional layout suited for modern living, and use authentic natural materials that will patina and weather in harmony with the rest of the home. The new island counter was hewn from a large decaying tree on the site, and hand-painted marble tiles adorn the backsplash. New cabinetry was hand-crafted using methods authentic to the time. We preserved the kitchen’s existing brick floor, which originally provided a durable surface for milking animals inside during cold winter months. Using authentic materials and craftsmanship of the era, this special house celebrates its historic character and embraces modern updates that will welcome home generations to come.

Bedroom - coastal master bedroom idea in San Diego with white walls

Brick walls and rough hewn beams add the perfect balance of traditional elements to this traditional coastal home kitchen. The wood island countertop contrasts nicely with the perimeter quarts stonetops. The cabinetry is a neutral grey khaki tone that is timeless and reads neutral in color tone. It's a great combination of texture and natural materials.
