This luxury dressing room and custom makeup vanity brings together tropical glamour, tailored functionality, and sophisticated pattern for a distinctive boutique-inspired retreat. A vibrant palm leaf wallpaper in soft yellow, gray, and neutral tones creates an elegant botanical backdrop, while warm brass accents add a polished layer of luxury.
The custom built-in vanity features crisp white cabinetry, generous countertop space, integrated storage, and streamlined brass hardware. An oversized brass-framed mirror and coordinating wall sconce provide a beautiful focal point, while a metallic upholstered vanity stool with a clear acrylic base adds a glamorous contemporary touch.
Decorative floral-patterned window treatments introduce a softer complementary pattern, demonstrating how layered wallpaper and textiles can coexist beautifully within a sophisticated interior. Light stone surfaces and mosaic flooring keep the room bright and airy while allowing the botanical patterns and metallic finishes to take center stage.
The result is a high-end dressing room and makeup vanity design that feels feminine, collected, and luxurious while remaining highly functional. Thoughtful details such as custom cabinetry, botanical wallpaper, brass fixtures, statement lighting, tailored window treatments, and a built-in dressing table transform an everyday getting-ready space into a personalized luxury retreat.

Our reach extends beyond New England: in the heart of Sea Island, Georgia, a custom mahogany conservatory roof now stands as another testament to Sunspace Design’s commitment to quality glass construction near and far.
This expansive 14′ x 16′ roof was crafted in our New Hampshire workshop before being sent on a journey south by truck. Upon reaching the job site, our team carefully reassembled it piece by piece. The unit was then crane-lifted into its final position atop the conventionally constructed walls provided by the general contractor. The Sunspace team then finished installation.
Meticulous logistical planning and careful execution made this possible. The project is a great example of productive collaboration between industry professionals. Working hand-in-hand with Ussery-Rule Architects and Joe Bowles Construction (both local to St. Simons Island), Sunspace’s first contribution was the provision of engineered drawings for the local team’s use. Working in sync from afar, the new construction was perfectly prepared to receive our custom glass roof components well before our arrival.
The new space is stunning. Sunlight floods the entertainment area below through high-performance PPG Solarban 70 insulated glass. Glass selection is crucial, and Solarban 70 ensures a comfortable interior environment throughout the year. The exterior is no less beautiful, and is adorned with elegant copper cladding and flashing that creates a striking effect beside the surrounding architecture.
No glass space is more elegant than a traditional conservatory, and here we see a gorgeous example which fuses New England ingenuity and Southern charm. We take immense pride in our contribution and hope the clients enjoy their space for years to come, nature and architecture coexisting in perfect harmony on the shores of Sea Island.

Project Overview:
Our team embarked on a thoughtful renovation journey, transforming an aging deck into a harmonious blend of indoor-outdoor living. The goal was to create a space that honors tradition while embracing modern comfort.
Existing Deck Transformation:
Original Deck:
The existing deck, weathered by years of memories, retained its original purpose—a place where sunlight dances and conversations flow.
Uncovered and open to the elements, it stood as a testament to countless gatherings and sun-kissed afternoons.
Screen Porch Conversion:
Half of the deck underwent a magical metamorphosis, emerging as a screen porch—a sanctuary where the outdoors and indoors intertwine.
The screen porch now cradles moments of quiet contemplation, protected from bugs and gentle rain.
Design Considerations:
Seamless Transition:
The transition between the deck and the screen porch is seamless, honoring the house’s original footprint.
The shared boundary invites a gentle flow—a dance of light and shadow.
Cantilevered Roof:
To preserve the deck’s sunlit expanse, we cantilevered the roof over the screen porch.
This architectural choice ensures that both spaces coexist harmoniously, each with its unique purpose.
Functional Harmony:
The deck, now partially covered, continues to serve as an alfresco haven for sunbathing, stargazing, and laughter.
The screen porch beckons with its screened walls, inviting cozy evenings and whispered secrets.
Legacy and Connection:
This renovation isn’t just about wood and nails; it’s about honoring the past and embracing the future. The parents, their children, and grandchildren—all find solace here, under the same sky, within these transformed walls.

This full-home remodel blends modern sophistication with functional comfort, creating a space that feels inviting, elegant, and beautifully cohesive.
The kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring white cabinetry, a statement range hood, and a spacious granite island that anchors the open-concept layout. Subtle herringbone tile details and sleek pendant lighting add depth and warmth, while the adjoining dining area showcases custom millwork and soft neutral tones for a perfect balance of formality and ease.
A butler’s pantry connects the kitchen to the entertaining spaces, offering additional storage, a beverage station, and glass-front cabinetry for display — proving that practicality and beauty can coexist effortlessly.
Downstairs, the home transforms into an entertainer’s retreat with a luxurious theater room, complete with tiered seating and custom ceiling accents. The adjoining office space provides a quiet corner for productivity without sacrificing style.
Bathrooms throughout the home feature elegant tilework, quartz and granite countertops, and thoughtful layouts — from a spa-like primary suite with a soaking tub and walk-in shower to a charming Jack-and-Jill bath designed for everyday family living.
Finishes are clean, layered, and timeless: soft gray cabinetry, matte black and chrome fixtures, warm wood floors, and inviting textures that bring continuity throughout the home.
From the laundry room’s efficient built-ins to the family room’s stone fireplace, every space was designed to feel lived-in yet elevated — a reflection of D&G Construction’s belief that great design starts with how you want to live, and ends with how beautifully it’s built.

Classic architecture meets highly personalized function in this thoughtfully designed kitchen renovation. Soft white cabinetry, substantial millwork and warm natural stone establish a timeless foundation, while a richly stained wood island and sculptural metal range hood introduce contrast and depth.
At the center, an expansive island provides generous prep space, seating for four and a natural gathering place between the kitchen and dining area. Warm metal plumbing fixtures and hardware complement the stone surfaces, while illuminated display cabinetry and layered lighting bring warmth to the predominantly neutral palette.
Behind the cabinetry is where much of the design reveals itself. Dedicated knife storage, an expansive spice drawer, vertical tray and cutting-board dividers, specialized cookware storage, a deep spirits drawer and custom glassware cabinetry give virtually everything a designated home. Professional appliances are integrated into the surrounding millwork, allowing performance to coexist with the room's traditional character.
The same cabinetry language continues into the beverage area and adjoining laundry and utility spaces, creating a cohesive suite of hardworking rooms that feel considered down to the smallest detail.
The result is a kitchen that doesn't rely on trends for its impact. Its luxury comes from craftsmanship, proportion, natural materials and a level of organization tailored specifically to the homeowners.

The cabana naturally rises from the hillside, a quiet gesture of respect for the land. Instead of flattening or reshaping the terrain, the team studied it, honored it, and translated it into architecture that responds to its environment. A focus on sustainability and minimal environmental impact guided every decision in the pool house design. The stucco façade supports the ivy’s climb. Porcelain pavers by Cancos form the patio and interior floor, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor plane. Inside, the floor is heated with radiant systems underneath, and above, a slatted white oak ceiling conceals integrated linear LED lighting and built-in heaters, making the space a true four-season retreat. Landscape lighting is woven throughout the property, ensuring the architectural experience continues long after sunset. Materials were locally sourced, and the finishes were kept natural, allowing the building to blend into the surroundings without imposing.
A Living Roof, A Living Legacy
Topped with a thriving, green roof and wrapped in lush Boston ivy, the structure feels more discovered than built. The living roof, engineered for structural support and walkability, is planted with a mix of native, low-maintenance seedlings that require mowing just twice a year. It provides thermal insulation, encourages biodiversity, and visually softens the entire structure. Pollinators and birds now share the roof, proof of how architecture can coexist with ecology.

Typical of bungalows and city lots, the footprint of this home was narrow with living spaces in front, bedrooms in back and kitchen centrally located. However, unlike most bungalows, the hall running from front to back have been closed off to, presumably, accommodate a walk-in pantry. Couple that with the fact that this circa 1925 bungalow had seen a lot of living – read boisterous children and remodeling trends like z-brick, soffits, and fluorescent overhead lighting – the kitchen was due for a major overhaul.
Truly the hub of this house, the modest 11’ x 12’ kitchen was most in need of additional countertop space, convenient garbage/recycle bin, counter-depth refrigerator, storage aids, informal dining for two, and sound-proofing to enable this musically adept family to coexist despite varied schedules.
Gone are the wall soffits, boxy overhead lighting, six-foot baseboard heat unit, extra deep refrigerator, refurbished cabinets, laminate countertops, z-brick wall covering, and makeshift door swags. Enter rich mahogany cabinets, roll and pull-out storage units, endcap spice storage, gorgeous granite tops, marble backsplash, LED lighting, acoustic insulation and solid-wood doors.
Under the guise of such a handsome room, provisions such as a period style sink allow for more efficient use of corners with pull-out half-moon trays for storage. Redirecting the baseboard heat to a compact, toekick unit, means more cabinet and counter space – perfect for a baking and/or entertaining area removed from the basic work triangle. The eating area, also, doubles as a work station with drawers for office supplies and dedicated outlet for cable tv. Functional yet beautiful, this kitchen is at the ready as its owners look forward to their golden years.

Dwellist had the honor of collaborating with Shaafi, a Netherlands resident, to bring his vision to life – the construction of his dream house in the idyllic town of Uthamapalyam, near Theni. With a deep-rooted passion for creating a haven that would cater to his aging parents' needs, as well as provide a rental unit and ample space for his own family and his brother. Shaafi entrusted our skilled team to design a residence that would surpass all expectations.
Shaafi's utmost concern was the well-being and mobility of his parents within the house. Our team prioritized their needs by incorporating thoughtful features for convenience and accessibility. The design also called for a spacious 3 BHK unit to accommodate both Shaafi's and his brother's families. Considering Shaafi's occasional visits to Uthamapalyam (2 to 3 months per year), we also addressed his desire for rental units on the first floor.
The primary focus of our team was on creating a ground-floor residence that prioritized accessibility for elderly. We incorporated barrier-free pathways, spacious doorways, and various amenities to enhance their comfort. Additionally, we designed a rental unit on the first floor, ensuring privacy and independence for tenants while promoting harmonious coexistence with the main residents. The unit was meticulously planned to ensure essential amenities, optimal functionality, and a focus on aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability. Natural lighting, efficient ventilation systems, and energy-saving features were integrated to enhance the living experience while minimizing environmental impact.
We are proud to have worked closely with Shaafi in creating a home that reflects his values and aspirations. Please feel free to contact Dwellist for further details about the project.
