Inspiration for a modern light wood floor and gray floor hallway remodel in Miami

Inspiration for a modern light wood floor and gray floor living room remodel in Miami

We gave this rather dated farmhouse some dramatic upgrades that brought together the feminine with the masculine, combining rustic wood with softer elements. In terms of style her tastes leaned toward traditional and elegant and his toward the rustic and outdoorsy. The result was the perfect fit for this family of 4 plus 2 dogs and their very special farmhouse in Ipswich, MA. Character details create a visual statement, showcasing the melding of both rustic and traditional elements without too much formality. The new master suite is one of the most potent examples of the blending of styles. The bath, with white carrara honed marble countertops and backsplash, beaded wainscoting, matching pale green vanities with make-up table offset by the black center cabinet expand function of the space exquisitely while the salvaged rustic beams create an eye-catching contrast that picks up on the earthy tones of the wood. The luxurious walk-in shower drenched in white carrara floor and wall tile replaced the obsolete Jacuzzi tub. Wardrobe care and organization is a joy in the massive walk-in closet complete with custom gliding library ladder to access the additional storage above. The space serves double duty as a peaceful laundry room complete with roll-out ironing center. The cozy reading nook now graces the bay-window-with-a-view and storage abounds with a surplus of built-ins including bookcases and in-home entertainment center. You can’t help but feel pampered the moment you step into this ensuite. The pantry, with its painted barn door, slate floor, custom shelving and black walnut countertop provide much needed storage designed to fit the family’s needs precisely, including a pull out bin for dog food. During this phase of the project, the powder room was relocated and treated to a reclaimed wood vanity with reclaimed white oak countertop along with custom vessel soapstone sink and wide board paneling. Design elements effectively married rustic and traditional styles and the home now has the character to match the country setting and the improved layout and storage the family so desperately needed.

This expansive Victorian had tremendous historic charm but hadn’t seen a kitchen renovation since the 1950s. The homeowners wanted to take advantage of their views of the backyard and raised the roof and pushed the kitchen into the back of the house, where expansive windows could allow southern light into the kitchen all day. A warm historic gray/beige was chosen for the cabinetry, which was contrasted with character oak cabinetry on the appliance wall and bar in a modern chevron detail.

Budget-Friendly Kitchen Remodel with Custom Details and Vintage Character
Designed for a home in Denver, Colorado, this kitchen remodel focused on maximizing impact while working within a modest renovation budget. The design blends timeless cabinetry, creative custom touches, and thoughtful space planning to create a kitchen that feels warm, inviting, and full of personality without requiring a full structural overhaul.
Soft white shaker-style cabinetry brightens the compact footprint while enhancing the home’s classic architectural character. Rather than removing the existing soffits, decorative crown molding and trim details were strategically incorporated to create a more intentional built-in appearance, saving significant renovation costs while adding visual polish and height to the space.
One of the standout features of the kitchen is the custom faux-finished range hood, hand-painted by the homeowner to resemble aged metal with a natural patina effect. This artistic focal point adds warmth, texture, and old-world charm while introducing a completely unique handcrafted element to the design.
Quartz countertops paired with a decorative patterned tile backsplash create a fresh and timeless palette, while warm brass hardware and rich wood flooring add contrast and warmth throughout the room. A custom built-in breakfast nook maximizes seating and functionality while creating a cozy gathering space filled with natural light.
Designed with smart budgeting in mind, the remodel demonstrates how thoughtful design decisions, creative finishes, and selective upgrades can dramatically transform a kitchen while preserving both charm and financial flexibility.

A 1940's bungalow was renovated and transformed for a small family. This is a small space - 800 sqft (2 bed, 2 bath) full of charm and character. Custom and vintage furnishings, art, and accessories give the space character and a layered and lived-in vibe. This is a small space so there are several clever storage solutions throughout. Vinyl wood flooring layered with wool and natural fiber rugs. Wall sconces and industrial pendants add to the farmhouse aesthetic. A simple and modern space for a fairly minimalist family. Located in Costa Mesa, California. Photos: Ryan Garvin
