Though the kitchen was only 10 years old, it felt dated and lacked the style the new homeowners desired. The storage was dysfunctional, the window over the small sink did not let in enough light. The existing hood was placed too low and the double ovens where too high making it almost impossible to use the upper oven. The solution was to redesign the kitchen with maximized function and storage while using light colors, transitional details, and clean lines. The tall 57” upper cabinets add a dramatic touch and feature glass inserts to display special pieces and add a touch of ambient lighting to the kitchen. In every drawer and pullout hides accessories and specialized storage compartments to keep the new kitchen organized and efficient. The new island now seats the family of four comfortably. A mixture of brushed and polished stainless steel and nickel accents are sprinkled throughout the kitchen and compliment the custom hammered sink and metal hood each crafted by a local artisan.

TWD converted an outdated fireplace by adding stone, a seat and mantle. A small custom TV niche with matching stone was also built to compliment the fireplace. All AV equipment is neatly stored out of sight in the storage compartments below the TV.

These original owners have lived in this home since 2005. They wanted to finish their unused 3rd floor and add value to their home. They are an active family so it seemed fitting to create an in-home gym with a sauna! We also wanted to incorporate a storage closet for Christmas decorations and such. To make this space as energy efficient as possible we added spray foam. Their current HVAC could not handle the extra load, so we installed a mini-split system. There is a large unfinished storage closet as well as a knee wall storage access compartment. The 451 sqft attic now has Rosemary 9” width Ridge Core Waterproof planks on the main floor with a custom carpeted staircase. After a long workout, these homeowners are happy to take a break in their new built-in sauna. Who could blame them!? Even their kids partake in the exercise space and sauna. We are thankful to be able to serve this amazing family.

This home in Napa off Silverado was rebuilt after burning down in the 2017 fires. Architect David Rulon, a former associate of Howard Backen, known for this Napa Valley industrial modern farmhouse style. Composed in mostly a neutral palette, the bones of this house are bathed in diffused natural light pouring in through the clerestory windows. Beautiful textures and the layering of pattern with a mix of materials add drama to a neutral backdrop. The homeowners are pleased with their open floor plan and fluid seating areas, which allow them to entertain large gatherings. The result is an engaging space, a personal sanctuary and a true reflection of it's owners' unique aesthetic. Inspirational features are metal fireplace surround and book cases as well as Beverage Bar shelving done by Wyatt Studio, painted inset style cabinets by Gamma, moroccan CLE tile backsplash and quartzite countertops.

THEME Every element of this room evokes images from the Enchanted Forest. Tiny lights twinkle like fireflies; curtains swing from real tree limbs and sticker stones lay a pathway to the bed. Ceramic mushrooms and birdhouses are scattered throughout the room, creating perfect hiding spots for fairies, pixies and other magical friends. The dominant color of both bedroom and bathroom — a soft, feminine pink — creates a soothing, yet wondrous atmosphere. In the corner sits a large tree with a child-size door at the base, promising a child-size adventure on the other side. FOCUS Illuminated by two beautiful flower-shaped lamps, the six-footdiameter circular bed becomes the centerpiece of the room. Imitation bark on the bed’s exterior augments the room’s theme and makes it easy for a child to believe they have stepped out of the suburbs and into the forest. Three lily pads extending from tree bark serve as both steps to the bed and stools to sit on. Ready-made for princess parties and sleepovers, the bed easily accommodates two to three small children or an adult. Twelvefoot ceilings enhance the sense of openness, while soft lighting and comfy pillows make this a cozy reading and resting spot. STORAGE The shelves on the rear of the bed and the two compartments in the tree — one covered by a doubledoor, the other by a miniature door — supplement the storage capacity of the room’s giant closet without interrupting the theme. GROWTH The bed meets standard specifications for a baby crib, and can accommodate both children and adults. The railing is easily removed when baby girl becomes a “big girl,” and eventually, a teenager. SAFETY Rounded edges on all of the room’s furnishings help prevent nasty bumps, and lamps are positioned well out-of-reach of small children. The mattress is designed to fit snugly to meet current crib safety standards, while a 26-inch railing allows this bed to act as a safe, comfortable and fun play area.
