The hidden garden behind the garage ends in a passageway through espaliered lemons, backed by a screen of Star Jasmine. The raised beds hold a combination of edibles and pollinator plants. Just out of site behind the palm and succulent collection is a small sitting area .

THE SETUP
Sam’s clients wanted to update their hall bathroom used by their three children. The goal was to create a space that is both kid-friendly and elegant, ensuring it remains functional and stylish as the children grow. The original bathroom felt confined due to dark materials and a single-sink vanity. The challenge was to find a design that looks great now and in the future.
Design objectives:
Create a sense of spaciousness
Increase storage for bathroom necessities and daily routines
Enhance lighting
THE REMODEL
Design challenges to be solved:
No structural changes – must keep the tub and wall structure
Transforming a small, dark space into a bright, open one without adding a new window
Multi-user-minded – Improving functionality for multiple users simultaneously
Timeless & kid-friendly – create a comfy kid-friendly look that won’t appear dated as the kids grow older
THE RENEWED SPACE
Design solutions:
Slimmer Tub and Sliding Shower Door installed to free up functional space, making the bathroom feel larger.
Lighter Materials used to reflect more light and add a vibrant feel. Open shelves above the toilet provide storage without making the space feel cramped, while allowing light from the existing window to permeate.
Dual Sink Vanity added, and split the mirror into two, creating individual stations for the kids and enhancing usability during busy routines.
Kid-Friendly Features – Incorporated toe-kick lighting that works as a nightlight, a lower-mounted shower handheld, and a large, accessible shower niche. The geometric shapes and blue color palette contribute to a fun yet sophisticated look.
The clients are thrilled with the transformation. The bathroom is now fun and elegant, providing a timeless look that will grow with the kids. They appreciate the increased functionality and the bright, open feel of the space.
This remodel successfully blends practical solutions with stylish design, ensuring the hall bathroom meets the needs of a busy family while maintaining a sophisticated look.

Our mission was to gift Bellevue with classic, natural and timeless style while setting it up with impressive functionality so that it was ready to be an entertaining-friendly home they needed it to be. Mission accepted!
Our clients’ vision was clear: They wanted the focal point of every space to be the view of Oakland while making it cozy and infusing the space with color.
We carefully selected a neutral color palette and balanced it with pops of color, unique greenery and personal touches to bring our clients’ vision of a stylish modern and casual vibes to life.

A soothing balance between traditional lakeside style and nautical elements. Fun pops of color and whimsical accessories create the perfect space to enjoy the view and reconnect with friends & family-Reed R. Krueger & Associates

This inviting living space strikes a balance between cozy comfort and sophisticated design. The room is anchored by a stunning black-painted fireplace surround adorned with bold, patterned tile in classic black and white, creating a strong focal point. Built-in shelving flanks the fireplace for both style and storage, while a flat-screen TV above blends functionality with design.
Warm leather swivel chairs add richness to the room, complemented by a vibrant teal velvet sofa that injects color and personality. A round glass coffee table with brass and acrylic accents pulls the space together, sitting atop a textured area rug that adds warmth underfoot. Natural light pours in from the adjacent windows, while views into the kitchen and dining area highlight the open-concept layout.
This family-friendly space combines layered textures, bold contrasts, and thoughtful detailing for a look that is both modern and timeless.

New lower level living room furniture and layout, layered in color, texture and finishes, along with a custom built-in beverage center for family and friends movie and game nights, was just want this space needed for added comfort and functionality to this modern home. A new deck remodel and furnishings for a perfect set up to move your entertaining outdoors during the warm Minnesota days and nights was another needed space.
The sweet baby girl nursery was another space updated with all new furniture and beautiful wallpaper for the new addition to their family. This modern home just needed a little bit of color, art and accessories to finish out the spaces they can comfortably call home.

Combining minimalism with elegance, this multi-tiered hardscape design transformed the outdoor living space of a Long Island, NY home. On the heart of Long Island, designers blended style with functionality, utilizing the whole of the property for hosting guests, preparing and serving summer meals and lounging by the pool on the sun-filled patio. With the use of softly toned Techo Bloc concrete pavers, Above All Masonry Design incorporated flow and structure while balancing with the existing natural setting. Family and guests travel down the paver walkway, through the expansive outdoor kitchen and dining space and out to the poolside deck or fire pit lounge area. Balanced with vibrant landscaping and lighting design, this Long Island home can now host large groups of family and friends with ease.

Within this comfortably cozy mountain retreat filled with natural light, Siemasko + Verbridge has created a space ideal for entertaining and showcasing the surrounding mountain views. Located in Sugarbush, Vermont, a refined alpine style creates a relaxed and inviting environment. Reclaimed beams and earthy materials emit a feeling of warmth throughout the condo and the fireplace, faced with local Vermont stone, is perfect for curling up in front of after outdoor adventures. The team drew inspiration from the condo’s slope-side setting, infusing the space with playful reminders of the wilderness outdoors: stag print pillows, snowflakes on the dining chairs and skiing scenes depicted on the walls as you head upstairs.
Siemasko +Verbridge’s family-friendly design accommodates ample space for gear and ski storage, durable fabrics and easy-to-maintain furnishings. Coarser textiles such as antler chandeliers are balanced with softer materials like nubby pillows and knit throws providing an interesting juxtaposition of textural elements. Customized cabinetry, expansive windows and reclaimed local materials enhance the character of this slope-side chalet and redefines contemporary mountain living.
