Inspiration for an eclectic enclosed living room remodel in Seattle with red walls, a standard fireplace and a tile fireplace

This project was such an incredible design opportunity, and instilled inspiration and excitement at every turn! Our amazing clients came to us with the challenge of converting their beloved family home into a welcoming haven for all members of the family. At the time that we met our clients, they were struggling with the difficult personal decision of the fate of the home. Their father/father-in-law had passed away and their mother/mother-in-law had recently been admitted into a nursing facility and was fighting Alzheimer’s. Resistant to loss of the home now that both parents were out of it, our clients purchased the home to keep in in the family. Despite their permanent home currently being in New Jersey, these clients dedicated themselves to keeping and revitalizing the house. We were moved by the story and became immediately passionate about bringing this dream to life. The home was built by the parents of our clients and was only ever owned by them, making this a truly special space to the family. Our goal was to revitalize the home and to bring new energy into every room without losing the special characteristics that were original to the home when it was built. In this way, we were able to develop a house that maintains its own unique personality while offering a space of welcoming neutrality for all members of the family to enjoy over time. The renovation touched every part of the home: the exterior, foyer, kitchen, living room, sun room, garage, six bedrooms, three bathrooms, the laundry room, and everything in between. The focus was to develop a style that carried consistently from space to space, but allowed for unique expression in the small details in every room. Starting at the entry, we renovated the front door and entry point to offer more presence and to bring more of the mid-century vibe to the home’s exterior. We integrated a new modern front door, cedar shingle accents, new exterior paint, and gorgeous contemporary house numbers that really allow the home to stand out. Just inside the entry, we renovated the foyer to create a playful entry point worthy of attention. Cement look tile adorns the foyer floor, and we’ve added new lighting and upgraded the entry coat storage. Upon entering the home, one will immediately be captivated by the stunning kitchen just off the entry. We transformed this space in just about every way. While the footprint of the home ultimately remained almost identical, the aesthetics were completely turned on their head. We re-worked the kitchen to maximize storage and to create an informal dining area that is great for casual hosting or morning coffee. We removed the entry to the garage that was once in the informal dining, and created a peninsula in its place that offers a unique division between the kitchen/informal dining and the formal dining and living areas. The simple light warm light gray cabinetry offers a bit of traditional elegance, along with the marble backsplash and quartz countertops. We extended the original wood flooring into the kitchen and stained all floors to match for a warmth that truly resonates through all spaces. We upgraded appliances, added lighting everywhere, and finished the space with some gorgeous mid century furniture pieces. In the formal dining and living room, we really focused on maintaining the original marble fireplace as a focal point. We cleaned the marble, repaired the mortar, and refinished the original fireplace screen to give a new sleek look in black. We then integrated a new gas insert for modern heating and painted the upper portion in a rich navy blue; an accent that is carried through the home consistently as a nod to our client’s love of the color. The former entry into the old covered porch is now an elegant glass door leading to a stunning finished sunroom. This room was completely upgraded as well. We wrapped the entire space in cozy white shiplap to keep a casual feel with brightness. We tiled the floor with large format concrete look tile, and painted the old brick fireplace a bright white. We installed a new gas burning unit, and integrated transitional style lighting to bring warmth and elegance into the space. The new black-frame windows are adorned with decorative shades that feature hand-sketched bird prints, and we’ve created a dedicated garden-ware “nook” for our client who loves to work in the yard. The far end of this space is completed with two oversized chaise loungers and overhead lights…the most perfect little reading nook! Just off the dining room, we created an entirely new space to the home: a mudroom. The clients lacked this space and desperately needed a landing spot upon entering the home from the garage. We uniquely planned existing space in the garage to utilize for this purpose, and were able to create a small but functional entry point without losing the ability to park cars in the garage. This new space features cement-look tile, gorgeous deep brown cabinetry, and plenty of storage for all the small items one might need to store while moving in and out of the home. The remainder of the upstairs level includes massive renovations to the guest hall bathroom and guest bedroom, upstairs master bed/bath suite, and a third bedroom that we converted into a home office for the client. Some of the largest transformations were made in the basement, where unfinished space and lack of light were converted into gloriously lit, cozy, finished spaces. Our first task was to convert the massive basement living room into the new master bedroom for our clients. We removed existing built-ins, created an entirely new walk-in closet, painted the old brick fireplace, installed a new gas unit, added carpet, introduced new lighting, replaced windows, and upgraded every part of the aesthetic appearance. One of the most incredible features of this space is the custom double sliding barn door made by a Denver artisan. This space is truly a retreat for our clients! We also completely transformed the laundry room, back storage room, basement master bathroom, and two bedrooms. This home’s massive scope and ever-evolving challenges were thrilling and exciting to work with, and the result is absolutely amazing. At the end of the day, this home offers a look and feel that the clients love. Above all, though, the clients feel the spirit of their family home and have a welcoming environment for all members of the family to enjoy for years to come.

Transitional Kitchen/Living Room remodel transformation. This kitchen used to be closed off by a large wall and a peninsula. We completed removed the wall and opened up the kitchen to the living room to make room for a large island. One huge aspect of this remodel was to bring the outdoors inside. From the rich dark stain on cherry wood (mocha with charcoal stain - dura supreme) brings in the outside tree trunks. The grey porcelain tile (brazilian slate from all natural stone/island stone - volcano grey) bring in the color of the clouds and a cool touch to the warmth of the cherry wood. The countertop is a stunning natural quartzite (cinza paramount) that brings in the green of the rolling hills behind this home. The perimeter cabinets are an off-white (putty with sable glaze - dura supreme) that brings out the color of the rolling hills in the summertime. Adding the dry bar cabinetry to the fireplace wall invites the family and guests to enjoy a drink around the TV while creating a welcoming atmosphere. All around this remodel has a sense of calm and a natural feel to it.

Want a Luxurious Bathroom Concept? Wood Castle by Radon is what you should see! We can all relate to the movie scenes where the actress enters the luxurious bathroom. A scene that depicts luxury and sheer elegance. Eye-catching tiles, elegant vanity, and shimmering faucets. Doesn’t it feel amazing to see. How about having the same luxury to yourself in your bathroom. There is no denying that we all want to feel and wish to live in such a luxury. Yes, it is even possible with the luxurious concept. So here we are going to see a complete pack of luxury attributes in one single bathroom. Concept- Modern Luxury If you are thinking of revamping your bathroom or designing an interior, try modern luxury. But, of course, as time moves forward, everyone wishes to adapt to modern times. So then why do only others have all the fun? We bring you a full-pack luxurious bathroom. Everything you were looking at in your bathroom concept is right here. Modern luxury is concept-driven from the user's perspective. But, as we know, modern designs never go out of fashion, and modern design makes you stand out. Once you enter into the space, you will experience the subtleness and luxurious aura altogether. Unique interior, stylish vanity units, and modern toilet models make it possible to achieve the "perfect luxury bathroom concept." In case you wonder, what will you get in one concept? It is natural to have doubts in mind. So here are the six stunning elements in design that bring the best in spaces. Stunning Design Elements It never happens that only one thing makes everything possible. Instead, there is a contribution of every element in the design. Thus, the following are the stunning elements in the design concept: Bathroom Vanity ● The name is Elizabeth (EL 4099), a floor-mounted vanity with elegant essence. ● The vanity has three components that contribute to the user-friendly design. It includes the main cabinet, mirror plus shelf, and basin. ● The body of the cabinet is made up of plywood. In addition to this, the frame of the cabinet comes with stainless steel material. ● Blend of black coated stainless steel, and wooden touch brings the best in the design. The ceramic basin has an intriguing factor. The combination of mirror and shelf is designed according to the user's need. ● Functions: The bathroom vanity gives enough room to store all the hygiene products, toiletries, and some medications. Enough room in the bottom cabinet to place towels, hand towels, and cleaning cloths. The vanity is being designed such that it can have multiple uses. The shelves allow us to place personal items in the order and out of sight. Premium Sanitary ware ● Stunning wall-hung sanitary ware of modern style enhances the rhythm in the space. Simple and sophisticated style. ● Fauna wall-hung (WHF 404) is a series of premium sanitary ware with easy and clean flushing. ● The style depicts wall attached rimless design, which also comes with a soft close seat cover. ● The sanitary ware is designed such that it contributes more neat and clean attributes. In addition to this, it promotes more hygiene and clean concept. ● Benefits: less risk of bacteria, parasites, and viruses. Neat and slick design contributes the best in aesthetics and functionality. Blend of Modern Tiles ● Tiles are just the coating material to protect from waterproofing. Instead, they also add more meaning to the spaces. ● Egyptian Beige a wooding-looking tiles which come in 2''x48'' size brings the best in the bathing area. It has been used in the open showering area. ● Besides, the actual size of the tiles is 24''x48''; however, the tiles have been cut from 24''x24'' to 2'x48'' using advanced cutting technology. ● Ruby Nero are the tiles used behind the vanity. It comes in 300 x 300 mm size, which has been crafted by cutting in modern machinery. The Ruby Nero also has one unique element: a cube pattern that makes it more appealing. ● Benefits: The tiles are anti-slippery; thus, it makes it easy to clean the surface. Low maintenance. The cube pattern offers grip application. Less danger of mishaps. Elegant Shimmering Faucets ● The elegant shimmering faucets are being used in the washbasin, head shower, and body jet. ● A Grande Single Lever Mixer with the touch of gold is used as the faucet in the washbasin. Besides, the faucet is made up of brass, and it comes with a gold finish. ● Single lever contributes to making less physical contact while washing the hands. Less physical contact, more hygienic practice. Brass as a material offers strength, good plasticity, and it has corrosion resistance. ● The Overhead rain shower in the bathing area has been placed perfectly. It gives the feeling as if you are bathing in the rain. It comes in 10''x10'' size in gold color. ● It overhead shower also has brass as a material. Thus, it can withstand hot and cold water due to its good plasticity. ● Experts say overhead shower saves more water than the water in the bathtub. Thus, becomes very economical for the user in all aspects. Less body movement and saves your time. Taps and Body Jet ● Each element has something to offer; just like that, there is a total of six body jets in the concept. Concealed Body Jet comes with a gold finish and anti-corrosive elements. ● The body jet has high-quality brass material. It is wall fitted concealed body jet. Besides, it offers an adjustable spray pattern that provides the best showering experience. ● The body jet functions well by offering a full-body shower, as it provides more showering radius to the user. ● Body jet allows ultra-fine droplets to release and delivers a massaging experience. It upholds the rhythm and the speed of water flow proficiently. Thermostatic Diverter ● A thermostatic diverter (THDV-R) in gold color is also being used. It helps to control the water flow and has been made using brass. It gives the option to control the shower, body jets, and spout. ● The thermostatic diverter comes with 3-outlets with high-flow options. It allows you to enjoy the water at the desired temperature. ● Besides, the diverter has the precision quality and offers complete safety to the user. Flexibility to function and operate two outlets simultaneously. ● Grande Plain Spout with Flange(GRA-1023-B) in gold finish contributes to the showering area. ● The flange comes with brass, therefore, offering plasticity and corrosion resistance properties. Allows water to flow easily and can withstand both hot and cold water. ● Flexible to provide high-pressure water without any hindrance. Indoor Landscape ● Gone are the days when people used to plant only in the garden space. Many modern bathrooms have an indoor landscape. ● Hence, we also added plants to maintain and enhance the look of every corner. Indoor planters near the vanity give the essence of being near nature. ● Small planter at the countertop act as a showpiece. The right showpiece always exhibits your style and individuality. A design that speaks and a concept which stands out. Uniqueness is not achieved by just adding materials and blending modern elements. Rather it is accomplished with functionality and aesthetics altogether. Therefore RADON brings the unique concept of bathroom designs in one place. From bathroom vanity to breathtaking faucets designs, all characters in one movie. Once you enter the space, you will not want to come out. Everyone wishes to escape from the chaos. The modern luxurious bathroom concept becomes your escape space in the entire home. A combination of Slip-proof floor tiling, glossiness, and rough textures stand out in their unique way. As a result, we offer an all-in-one bathroom design. We believe in offering you a luxurious space at affordable prices.
