article Movement: Active Design and Calm Tones A rectangular rug with an abstract composition of elements in the form of white strokes and blue dots on a gray background. The collection was inspired by the winter season: the pattern in cold colors resembles falling snow and the skaters’ strokes on ice. The arrangement of forms is random and gives an impression of movement, while the pattern is enclosed within the boundaries of a wide gray-blue edging. This hand-knotted rug in calm colors with tiny accents of cool red will perfectly suit for high-tech interiors. There is also an alternative color solution with ochre-gold mounting for light and warm interiors. Knotting Traditions of Nepal The density is 100 knots per inch, color range includes 6 tones of blue, gray and pink, 5:1 New Zealand wool and silk.

Intentional. Elevated. Artisanal. With three children under the age of 5, our clients were starting to feel the confines of their Pacific Heights home when the expansive 1902 Italianate across the street went on the market. After learning the home had been recently remodeled, they jumped at the chance to purchase a move-in ready property. We worked with them to infuse the already refined, elegant living areas with subtle edginess and handcrafted details, and also helped them reimagine unused space to delight their little ones. Elevated furnishings on the main floor complement the home’s existing high ceilings, modern brass bannisters and extensive walnut cabinetry. In the living room, sumptuous emerald upholstery on a velvet side chair balances the deep wood tones of the existing baby grand. Minimally and intentionally accessorized, the room feels formal but still retains a sharp edge—on the walls moody portraiture gets irreverent with a bold paint stroke, and on the the etagere, jagged crystals and metallic sculpture feel rugged and unapologetic. Throughout the main floor handcrafted, textured notes are everywhere—a nubby jute rug underlies inviting sofas in the family room and a half-moon mirror in the living room mixes geometric lines with flax-colored fringe. On the home’s lower level, we repurposed an unused wine cellar into a well-stocked craft room, with a custom chalkboard, art-display area and thoughtful storage. In the adjoining space, we installed a custom climbing wall and filled the balance of the room with low sofas, plush area rugs, poufs and storage baskets, creating the perfect space for active play or a quiet reading session. The bold colors and playful attitudes apparent in these spaces are echoed upstairs in each of the children’s imaginative bedrooms.

Amazing kitchen transformation. The customer selected Fieldstone Cherry Cabinetry in a flat panel (Stratford door) with a chestnut stain. The countertops are granite, the floors and backsplash are tile. Miele Stainless steel appliances. The floors are an 18”x 18” porcelain tile set in a diagonal pattern. This project was a large kitchen and sunroom remodel. The customer wanted a large angled peninsula with overhang for seating. We installed a large undermount stainless steel sink with the Brizo collection touch activated faucet by Delta. This project was under 70K.

Open shelving provides the perfect place to put personality on display.
