Designer: Paul Dybdahl Photographer: Shanna Wolf Designer’s Note: One of the main project goals was to develop a kitchen space that complimented the homes quality while blending elements of the new kitchen space with the homes eclectic materials. Japanese Ash veneers were chosen for the main body of the kitchen for it's quite linear appeals. Quarter Sawn White Oak, in a natural finish, was chosen for the island to compliment the dark finished Quarter Sawn Oak floor that runs throughout this home. The west end of the island, under the Walnut top, is a metal finished wood. This was to speak to the metal wrapped fireplace on the west end of the space. A massive Walnut Log was sourced to create the 2.5" thick 72" long and 45" wide (at widest end) living edge top for an elevated seating area at the island. This was created from two pieces of solid Walnut, sliced and joined in a book-match configuration. The homeowner loves the new space!!

This inviting guest bedroom is a beautiful balance of clean simplicity and personal charm. The signature floor-to-ceiling windows allow natural light to pour in, framing a lush view of the neighborhood while keeping the space open and breathable. A soft sage green feature wall anchors the room with subtle color and serenity—bringing an organic, restful vibe without overpowering the palette. A warm neutral bedspread, light hardwood flooring, and minimalist ceiling fan continue the modern aesthetic found throughout the home, creating cohesion without rigidity. What truly sets this space apart is the layered storytelling: a curated wall collage, a pair of guitars resting in the corner, a stack of favorite books beside a leafy plant. These lived-in elements make the room feel personal and soulful—reflecting our belief that a home should tell a story, not just match a style guide. Designed and built by New Explode Construction, this guest suite offers comfort, sunlight, and a creative heartbeat—proof that even the quietest rooms can still speak volumes.

Small on space doesn't have to mean small on style. To keep this galley kitchen from feeling cramped, we opted for a bright white backsplash and white upper cabinets which create the illusion of a larger space. To add a bit of interest, we opted to do the lower cabinets in a timeless charcoal shade. Floating shelves done in a rich brown tone not only play off of the existing hardwood floors, but also create an extra bit of space without feeling heavy. The finishing touch is the brushed bronze hardware which creates a striking contrast against both upper and lower cabinet colors.

The home of this young family was enhanced through completion of open-design family room addition and TV play room remodel. The wall between dining room and new family room was removed, along with removal of a partial wall between kitchen and dining room. Finally, the entire back wall of this area of the home was removed to create opening for new addition. Natural lighting is enhanced in the space via the new windows at north and east elevations, while a new window flanks the east side of fireplace above built-ins. These bookcases are custom built-in at either side of fireplace, and are white painted poplar construction with white diamond edge laminate countertop. The space affords 2 new closets. Trim details include base, columns, casing, shoe mold, 12” deep fireplace mantel, and crown molding. Hardwood flooring in new family room is finished to match existing hardwood floors in the home.
