This entryway features a gallery wall set against textured blush-pink wallpaper, creating a bold and inviting backdrop. A dark wood console is styled with two emerald green table lamps, sitting atop a dark red and orange rug. A glass-and-brass chandelier hangs overhead, while white trim and ceiling provide contrast and balance, creating a layered, elegant, and welcoming entry space.

An eight foot change in elevation from doorway to property line is nothing to sneeze at. In order to build a level area for the patio, pool, and other amenities, it was necessary to install a retaining wall. This wall is 30-36” (which only partially took care of the slope in the back yard) so there are steps on the other side of the pool.

This stunning outdoor transformation features a luxury infinity-edge pool that visually blends into the horizon, creating a true resort-style oasis. Designed for both relaxation and entertainment, the space is anchored by a custom fire feature that adds warmth, ambiance, and a dramatic focal point for evening gatherings. A fully custom outdoor kitchen with a built-in TV wall turns this backyard into the ultimate open-air living room, perfect for hosting guests or enjoying quiet sunset evenings. Sleek aluminum louvered patio covers provide modern architectural lines while allowing adjustable shade and sun control throughout the day. Set against breathtaking panoramic views, this project seamlessly combines contemporary design, high-end craftsmanship, and indoor-outdoor living to create a private luxury retreat.

The homeowners wanted to transform their dining room into a more open, functional, and visually connected space while honoring the home’s modern, mid-century style. Their main goals included removing the massive wall of rough-textured cabinetry, adding a view of the backyard from the front door, creating a serving area with multiple outlets for small appliances, incorporating deep drawers for linens, and adding display space. They also wanted quarter sawn oak cabinetry with hardware instead of the nail breaking routed pocket pulls, black accents, and a backsplash tile in a fun color or shape. Originally, the wall separating the dining room from the kitchen was slated for removal, but engineering requirements made this cost prohibitive. Instead, we collaborated with an architect and engineer to design a passthrough that maintained structural integrity. During construction, hidden HVAC was discovered, prompting us to build the wall out further, resulting in a deeper 16" passthrough; a happy accident that created an ideal display area with puck lighting. The cabinetry features Crystal Cabinet Works’ Encore frameless line in Quarter Sawn White Oak with a Natural matte finish, paired with matte black ladder shelves for display. A tiled, extra-deep toekick covered in matching floor tile gives the appearance of floating cabinetry while ensuring easy, mop-friendly maintenance. The wall is finished in matte square Nemo tile with glossy accents, adding vibrant color and texture. Cambria’s Smithfield quartz countertops provide a durable serving surface, while black floor tile with a metallic finish grounds the design. Now, the dining room serves as a hub for entertaining, with ample space for serving dishes, convenient power access, and a direct sightline from the kitchen to the backyard. Ready for a dining space that serves looks as well as dinner? Pull up a chair and let’s talk.
