Took out an old wood finish kitchen and added in this new sleek clean white kitchen with a complementary grey island. Shaker inspired door style, brushed nickel hardware, 2″ thick Quartz counters and a beautifully designed island for family events or a simple breakfast in the morning. This kitchen filled in a entry way into the dinning room but it was totally worth the extra space. Storage with a floor to ceiling pantry, drawer pullouts and epic corner cabinet pullouts makes this kitchen ready for any event. But really, let’s all just appreciate how that floor balances this whole space. All of the yes.

Bathroom and kitchen renovation including stunning natural marble and quartz throughout both spaces. Neutral tones are the forefront of this design by meshing bold gold hardware and earthy complementary tones.

The original cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and moldings got tossed. We modified the oven cabinet to fit the new ovens, added a deeper and shorter refrigerator cabinet, and eliminated the old-school recessed sink front. New moldings were added and then the original cabinet boxes were painted in place. New hard, durable, factory-painted doors, and drawer fronts were installed. On the island, we added a couple of drawers, refaced in a complementary stained wood, and added posts to the backside for a touch of elegance. The old, non-functional, fluorescent under-cabinet lights were swapped-out for new LED tape-style versions. The existing tile floor was in great shape, so we just made sure it was protected during the project. It is amazing how the countertops, floor, backsplash, and wallpaper all got re-invigorated by association when we upgraded the look of the cabinetry. Photo's by Warren Smith, CMKBD

The staircase as it spirals up to all 3 floors Originally built in 1835, years of deferred maintance and a failing foundation rendered this home in need of a serious help. The home had poorly constructed additions removed, it's core historic structure was raise out of the flood zone, and the angled walls were brought to plumb. The interior was then crafted for contemporary living while maintaining the windows and details of the original home. A complementary addition was added to create an inviting kitchen and master suite. Now re-built and strengthened, it is ready to add to the city's charm for another 150 years. photos by www.newport653.com

The Setup For this primary bathroom project, the homeowners sought to transform their outdated, beige-toned space into a bright, functional sanctuary. The existing bathroom felt cramped and lifeless, with a small shower and limited storage options. The goal was to create a fresh, updated bathroom that maximizes the existing footprint while addressing specific desires for a more open, organized space with timeless materials. Design objectives: Brighten the bathroom and eliminate the dated beige color scheme Install a freestanding tub in a compact space Create a larger, more open shower without encroaching on the existing foot print too much Incorporate hidden storage solutions Maintain the existing bathroom layout while improving functionality Update lighting and fixtures to create a contemporary feel The Remodel Design challenges to be solved: - Compact Space Utilization – The small bathroom required careful planning to accommodate a freestanding tub while maintaining functionality and avoiding overcrowding. - Hidden Storage Integration – The clients wanted a discreet hamper solution that wouldn’t clutter the limited floor space. - Shower Niche Placement – With plumbing limitations and the clients’ desire to preserve their wavy accent tile wall, finding the perfect niche spot became a creative puzzle. - Tile and Finish Coordination – Selecting complementary white tile and floor materials that worked harmoniously together. - Larger Shower Space – Make the shower feel more open and brighter The Renewed Space Design solutions: - Strategic Tub Placement – The freestanding tub was carefully positioned to maximize space, with its faucet strategically placed to allow easy access while preserving walking room. We reduced the counter depth just a bit by the tub, allowing more room for hamper cabinet and window access. - Concealed Hamper Storage – A custom pull-out hamper was integrated into the vanity (right side, by tub), providing discreet storage within an 18-inch depth constraint. - Shower Plumbing Wall Niche – We shifted the niche left, just enough to work around the plumbing infrastructure and still score a roomy storage spot that looks intentional. - Sophisticated Selections – Porcelanosa curvy white tile, Kohler brushed gold fixtures, and a neutral grey tile floor created a simple, timeless aesthetic that will be loved years to come. - Open Shower – Replacing the side wall with a clear glass surround, continuing the tile on the ceiling and extending the footprint opened up this area to the room while allowing more natural lighting into the shower space. This bathroom transformation shows how thoughtful design turns challenges into opportunities. Brushed gold fixtures add warmth to the fresh white palette, while the perfectly balanced floor tile brings just the right depth. A partially glass-fronted vanity introduces subtle charm, giving the space a unique edge. Once cramped and outdated, this bathroom now feels bright, spacious, and serene—a testament to how every design detail makes a difference.

This beautiful Brentwood home needed help in the kitchen, so we took out outdated kitchen cabinets and set up a paint booth to to spray all drawers and cabinets to give them a manufacturer's finish. We used Sherwin Williams pro classic semi gloss trim, added a new, darker wall color for the dining area and surrounding areas. The fresh cabinets and new complementary beige color on the walls turned it into a bright, modern kitchen.

On the kitchen island you'll find Cambria Bradshaw combined with Cambria Ramsey quartz countertops. The light swirls of taupe in the Bradshaw makes Ramsey the perfect complementary design. The beauty of Cambria continues to flow through this home as you will see Cambria Canterbury, Halstead, and Clyde on three vanities; Cambria Laneshaw on the fireplace surround and Hollinsbrook for the lower level wetbar. In the laundry room we used Wilsonart "Mountain Passage" laminate countertops.

The Woodchuck Bay boathouse on Lake of the Woods, Ontario, demonstrates how heavy timber framing can be brilliantly integrated into a hybrid structural solution. By combining the unmatched strength and visual warmth of exposed timber with complementary building systems, the design maximizes both architectural presence and construction efficiency. The standout feature of this waterfront build is the spacious, elevated upper-deck screen room. Positioned directly above the boathouse, it captures sweeping lake views and natural cross-breezes while providing a comfortable, insect-free gathering space. The exposed timber frame elements remain fully visible within the screen room, reinforcing the structure's authentic lakeside identity and highlighting the precise craftsmanship. Designed to withstand the demanding conditions of open water, this project elevates a functional storage boathouse into a refined, central social hub for long summer days and evenings on the lake.

This extensive remodel overlooking Lake Austin is a paean to the powerful art it enfolds. Rigorous editing of every distracting, inconsequential element of the original house was critical. So too was the insertion of new complementary components that provide artful ways to move through both interior and exterior rooms. The collection of modern art is arresting. Ranging from a Turrell hologram to a pair of Agnes Martins, the art is framed by the architecture and lighting so that it is experienced in a choregraphed, curated way that encourages wandering and an intimate connection to each piece. The mood is set in the entry courtyard. A floating walkway curves down and around a brilliant spiraling blue Clement sculpture. It pauses once, at a moment of surprise, when the first view through the house is filled with the blue water of the lake beyond. Inside the saturated color of many of the pieces of art are balanced by an absence of other visual clutter in the color palette, furniture and architecture. A new interior plaster, steel and bronze stair carves through a space occupied by two small Clement sculptures in niches, a Page Kempner sculpture on a landing and a glass cylinder elevator. This is a very specific place, designed for specific art and for a collector who has a close relationship with each piece.
