This colorful master bedroom has an orange bird wallpaper and a blue, fabric headboard. Exotic pillows contribute to this colorful space, and contrast nicely with the black and white bedding.

The Wethersfield home is a “Contributing Structure” within one of Central Austin’s most historic neighborhoods. Thanks to the design vision and engineering of the Barley|Pfeiffer Architecture team, the fine execution and contributions of Tommy Hudson with Hudson Custom Builder, and the commitment of the Owner, the outcome is a very comfortable, healthy and nicely day lit, 1600 square foot home that is expected to have energy consumption bills 50% less than those before, despite being almost 190 square feet larger. A new kitchen was designed for better function and efficiencies. A screened-in porch makes for great outdoor living within a semi-private setting - and without the bugs! New interior fixtures, fittings and finishes were chosen to honor the home’s original 1930’s character while providing tasteful aesthetic upgrades. Photo: Oren Mitzner, AIA NCARB

The interior details are simple, elegant, and are understated to display fine craftsmanship throughout the home. The design and finishes are not pretentious - but exactly what you would expect to find in an accomplished Maine artist’s home. Each piece of artwork carefully informed the selections that would highlight the art and contribute to the personality of each space. © Darren Setlow Photography

This farmhouse style master bathroom includes numerous small details that help to contribute to the charming look of this home. The reclaimed wood sliding door features alternating dark and light grained slats of wood and a rustic pull handle. The pendant lighting and wall-hung framed mirrors both include small details in design. The pull handles on the shaker cabinet doors include small features that make them unique and charming.

The style of the home is transitional with splashes of art deco. The cabinetry was fashioned after a European style mixing two different door styles but the cabinetry was custom made in America by Ovation Cabinetry through Signature Designs Kitchen Bath. . Blonde wide plank wood flooring, kitchen countertops are cristallo polished slab and backsplashes and unique natural stone counter tops further contribute to the glamous feeling of the space. The focal point in the center of this kitchen is the custom white and brass hood. Custom made for the space with the angle to follow the slope of the ceiling.

This family room went from ultra shabby to super chic! Before the renovation the floors were a worn, dated parquet. We replaced the parquet flooring with a warm chocolate glazed birch hardwood. The fireplace surround was a dreary white painted brick which we refaced with a copper metallic porcelain tile. The preexisting built-ins were completely demolished as they were oversized and out of date. We designed more contemporary and functional custom built-ins for the space, adding some square footage to the room as well. The textures in the room-dark wood, copper toned tile, plush velvet and soft leather-all contribute to the warm and cozy feel of the space. Photographer: Paul S. Bartholomew

This is a prime example of premium quality craftsmanship in the landscape design/build business. By redesigning the front entrance to create a porch/landing with an additional parking court, we significantly improved the appearance and value of the property in Rye, New York. The new driveway was constructed of a porous asphalt material which improved the stormwater management adjacent to the wetland. The landscape planting featured a variety of long blooming, native flowering perennials which attract beneficial insect species. This contributes to the successful management of the landscape with sustainable organics. The custom kinetic sculpture adds a nice finishing touch. Instead of a typical evergreen hedge, native clethra was planted on the property border to define the space while contributing fragrance, grace and pollinators to what easily could have been a less active, sterile space. Heavily planted ground cover natives such as ajuga, creeping jenny, Irish moss, sweet woodruff and geraniums made the need for weeding practically obsolete. The use of ground covers as mulch was most effective for resource management.

A modern living room with a comfortable-looking chair upholstered in cream colored fabric. There is a soft, colorful pillow on the chair. A statue of a slender greyhound dog sits on the floor next to the chair. The overall feeling is calming and peaceful. The cream-colored chair and the soft lighting in the room contribute to this feeling. The greyhound statue adds a touch of sophistication and elegance. While the statue is a dog, a traditionally playful animal, the greyhound’s slender form and stillness also contributes to the calming atmosphere.

Embarking on a garage remodeling project is a transformative endeavor that can significantly enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of the space. By investing in tailored storage solutions such as cabinets, wall-mounted organizers, and overhead racks, one can efficiently declutter the area and create a more organized storage system. Flooring upgrades, such as epoxy coatings or durable tiles, not only improve the garage's appearance but also provide a resilient surface. Adding custom workbenches or tool storage solutions contributes to a more efficient and user-friendly workspace. Additionally, incorporating proper lighting and ventilation ensures a well-lit and comfortable environment. A remodeled garage not only increases property value but also opens up possibilities for alternative uses, such as a home gym, workshop, or hobby space, making it a worthwhile investment for both practicality and lifestyle improvement.

Long, clean lines and large windows open the space and contribute to the contemporary design theme. Looking towards the back of the house we see the kitchen, breakfast bar and dining room. The entrance to the four seasons room is to the left.

A spacious and elegant living room with large windows offering a scenic outdoor view. The room showcases a plush white sofa, a round wooden coffee table, and a chandelier hanging from the ceiling, all contributing to a modern and minimalist style characterized by neutral tones and clean lines.

The leather brown granite counter top in this kitchen cleanly contrasts the white cabinetry. This neutral palette contributes to this cool contemporary look.

This client did not like the confined feeling of the powder room. I thought the weird banjo arm going across the wall contributed to that problem. So we removed that to start and did cabinets with an open shelf at the bottom. I had wanted to do a floating cabinet but the plumbing prohibited that. So we use a 12" wide upper cabinet turned on it's side to create the bottom shelf. Then we put that on legs and created a small support for the vanity cabinet to sit on. This created a much more open feel for the room. The wall was tiled with a Travertine random mosaic tile. The crystal pendants are a nice contrast to the stone. The copper sink and mirror are warm and inviting.

This kitchen and great room was design by Annette Starkey at Living Environment Design and built by Stellar Renovations. Crystal Cabinets, quartz countertops with a waterfall edge, lots of in-cabinet and under-cabinet lighting, and custom tile contribute to this beautiful space.
