This wonderful traditional house is located on the edge of Hampton Bays and faces magnificent eastern water views. The room is flooded with early morning light so intense that medium to heavy sun screen shades were installed to filter the light diffusing but not blocking the view. A palate of neutral colors was assembled so that the bay view and beaches remained the focus of the room. The furniture plan as seen from the overhead picture divided the room into two comfortable seating areas. The large rug for budget purposes is made from broadloom carpet and detailed with a cut piled border. The large rug is the background that visually hinges the two seating groups together. Each seating group has different furniture each have a ottoman with tray serving as a coffee table. The fine metal table behind the sofa allows flowers or other object to be centrally displayed. The crimson red upholstered swivel chairs turn outward toward the scenic view. A tiered metal chandelier was hung from the highest ceiling height and adds intimacy to this large great room setting. The most important change to the architecture of the room was to remove the columns and replacement of them with a design of a series of arches integrated with the balustrade above visually creating more balance architectural appearance.

An active family who have been friends and clients of Debbie Etheridge for many years presented her with an exciting yet formidable challenge--to transform their lower level, a dark unfinished basement into a useable, comfortable space where they could relax and lounge as a family, or entertain guests in style. Debbie Etheridge had completed several projects on the family's homes over the years but with this project she had her work cut out. In addition to being a dank, dark below ground basement with no delineated functional rooms, the space possessed many different angles and awkward ducting bulkheads to contend with. With the use of durable vinyl plank flooring, multileveled, innovative lighting, quartz countertops, sleek wood cabinetry, back-painted glass, and stacked stone columns, Debbie designed a space which exudes comfort, elegance and light. In addition to the recessed pots and wall washers, she used pendants, LED under cabinet and counter lighting and specified the installation of metallic back painted glass panels to dramatically enhance reflected brightness and somewhat mimic windows in the windowless space. Durable fabrics (like chenille) in neutral colours wear well and add cozy texture. A custom wine unit was installed. Before the transformation the space was just a large, unruly storage area. Now, the newly designed space functions as the bedazzling basement of they family's dreams. The contractor Paul Blewman of PTB Construction skillfully orchestrated the build, and the quarter cut white oak slab cabinetry for the kitchen and bathroom was provided by Kitchens by Design in North Vancouver.

Mike and Michelle of Lake Barrington knew they needed extra space. Their home was becoming too crowded for their family with blossoming teenagers, so a basement renovation offered the perfect solution for more space for the kids and more room to entertain for the adults. “Our project consisted of expanding our laundry room, putting in a first floor wet bar so we had adult space upstairs, while also renovating our basement for a family-friendly and teen-functional area as well,” Michelle says. They found Advance Design Studio through a neighbor who gave a glowing recommendation, giving Michelle and Mike the confidence they needed to move forward with a major home renovation. They felt like they knew Advance Design before they even worked together. When they met with the owner Todd Jurs and designer Nicole Ryan, Mike and Michelle knew they were getting a trustworthy, dependable team that could create the project they had been dreaming about for 7 years. Having virtually no natural light to work with, one of the biggest design challenges was creating a basement that did not feel dark and depressing. The Advance team got to work creating architectural archways and custom detailed dry-stack stone columns artfully designed into the space, adding a dramatic element that made the space feel less like a basement or more like a relaxing family room. Color 3D renderings were created to portray what the space would look like so Mike and Michelle could visualize the space in advance. Detailed trim and crown moldings grace the built in buffet and wet bar making for an amazingly functional space that lacks nothing in style and visual interest. Cherry wood cabinetry by Dura Supreme is featured in the space with a “Cocoa Brown” finish and includes beautiful mirrored glass doors embellished with unique elliptical mullion details. A built-in microwave, dishwasher and mini fridge add practicality to the ample entertainment mecca. An under mounted sink finishes the space joined with a intricate mosaic tile backsplash and “Ventisca Polished” quartz countertops. The basement is absolutely perfect for hosting friends and family with expertly designed key areas such as a game space for the kids, a movie area for the family, an ample workout room with luxurious full bath, and even built in wine storage. The family absolutely loves the new basement living space, and has already enjoyed numerous family movie nights and sleep-overs with friends. While custom cabinets made by Dura Supreme were used to create unique spaces that lived up to Mike and Michelle’s expectations., heated flooring under the 16”x16” “Mongolian Spring” tile was installed giving all tiled areas of the basement a much cozier feel, eliminating that cold hard surface most of us hate in our basements! The new basement must-have requirement list included a new bath space, which was incorporated adjacent to the work out room. The sleek shower door and cabinets in the new bathroom make guests and family feel like they are in an elegant hotel. The new guest bath features 4”x36” “Silver Screen” honed marble tile in a brick pattern on the shower walls and 2”x2” “Chenille” limestone tile in a hexagon mosaic pattern on the shower floor. “I came in with very specific requirements for our three project areas,” Michelle says. “There was not one time that I felt like I was asking for something that was not going to turn out how I anticipated.” Tying in multiple rooms during a renovation if you have can do it makes a lot of sense and saves money in the long run. A fully functional laundry room as well was a must on this family’s wish list. Michelle wanted to add space to the existing cramped and awkward laundry room, and Mike wanted to make sure they could still park a car in the garage. Reconfiguring interior walls required borrowing unused space cleverly from the garage in order to enlarge the laundry room space. Drawers under the stairs added beautiful hidden storage created almost magically out of dead space. White painted Dura Supreme cabinets bring additional light into the small space; while the 16”x16” cleft slate tile flooring provides excellent contrast and the naturally earthy feel Michelle wanted. Quartz countertops with a 3”x12” “Debut Dew” subway tile backsplash add elegance to the now upliftingly bright laundry room. The extra space makes doing laundry much more pleasurable and the added storage is a great for all those little things like winter hats and gloves, umbrellas and the like. “The Advance Design project team was phenomenal to work with,” Michelle says. “They came in, shared the plans with us and walked us through the expectations. We always knew what was coming next.” Converting an existing closet space, the wet bar upstairs was challenging because they wanted a functional area that didn’t look or feel like cabinets just sticking out of a closet. So the Advance team transformed this ordinary closet space into a stunning wet bar that architecturally appears as if it’s always been there. Traditional, elegant hand carved custom molding matching the adjacent fireplace ties the new entertainment bar area in nicely with the existing family room and kitchen area. Featuring a built in wine refrigerator, Dura Supreme cabinetry in deep cherry wood elegantly displays wine bottles and etched glass mullion doors that fill with soft light in the evening hours. Cambria “Windermere” quartz countertops with a sophisticated hammered copper sink and a glimmering backsplash round out the stunning wet bar. Hosting parties and family functions has become much more enjoyable now that they have a dedicated beverage serving area large enough to include hors devours. All three projects were designed and constructed together at the same time, making for a cohesive project that was administered smoothly and easily both for the design team and for the family. Disruption to the home was minimal as each phase was completed in each project conclusively, and design and meeting time for the homeowner was efficient and organized making for an enjoyable process. “Advance Design was great to work with,” Michelle says. “I would highly recommend them to anyone considering a home improvement project. They took the time at the beginning to understand our needs, our budget, and our vision for our home. The field team was great, attentive, on time, cleaned up each day and made the overall experience very positive. We couldn't be happier with the finished product.” With the help of our talented, award winning design team you can create the basement, laundry room, or any other home renovation that you have been dreaming of.

One of our absolute favorite Instagram accounts is @maryellenskye. We love the design aesthetic of all her pictures. Her minimalistic approach with a flare of flowers, old charm and of course Nashville was enough for us to know we had to work on a collection with her. Mary Ellen's collection is a complete reflection of her minimalistic yet romantic love for home decor. Her home is inspired by a touch of southern charm with lots of flowers and nude tones. We asked her a few questions to find out what inspired her collection, what she loves and we even got a few tips on how to approach the decorating process.

A restaurant that has been around for more than 20 years, Rebecca's was given a fresh new look to enhance their romantic date night ambience by bringing in classy, tailored, and hip features. A smoky blue envelopes the whole interior and it accented with custom woodwork, adding dimension to the walls. The existing bench seat backs were reimagined with a luxurious and velvety chenille in a channel tuft pattern for a lofty aesthetic and all chairs were repainted in a charcoal, translating that smoky look from one area to another. On the main wall, we hung unique mirrors with brass detail to give the woodwork by Paradigm Custom Woodworks more meaning and to reflect light throughout the dim-lit space. Greenery is strategically placed in multiple spots for a fresh, organic vibe as it adds a pop of color, and the new drapery was installed to fuse into the design and carefully frame the windows and entry. The counter area features an installation utilizing their house wines as art. In the private sector of the restaurant, a funky geometric woodwork accent wall is made to add dimension and play with a custom graffiti mural created by local and renowned artist, Sebastian Ferreira. To balance out the many textures in this room, Fine Arts Designs installed concrete-look commercial-grade wallcovering which sits behind a custom neon sign for social media moments. Out in the patio dining area, we brought Cuban textures in with the use of black and white encaustic tile which play nicely with the new South American Walnut butcher block tabletops. Formal photographs to follow soon...

Clients existing dining room table and chairs were kept in the space. The chairs were repurposed with a heavy-duty, teal, chenille fabric and the two extra dining room chairs were placed in opposite corners for additional seating at our clients reoccurring dinner parties. The wood buffet was set with a mirrored beverage tray, wine accessories and a beautiful mosaic, gold vase. One dining room wall was accented with a light teal paint (Sherwin Williams 6750 "Waterfall") and dressed with a deep teal, silk drapery. A vintage art piece was the perfect find for the painted accent wall and most importantly; the table was formally set for our client and their guests. Photo Credit: Shipman Design Group
