This cheery laundry room addition became a focal point & sunny spot to do household chores. Its yellow walls, warm wood cabinets, navy herringbone backsplash, and clean white countertops all contribute to its charming atmosphere. The cabinets feature adjustable shelving for storing laundry baskets, a utility sink, a countertop over the washer and dryer for folding, and a rod for hang-drying delicate items.

Exposed wooden beams traverse the ceiling, adding a warm and rustic touch to the space. The tongue-and-groove ceiling enhances the overall charm, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. One notable feature of this living room is the curved built-ins on each side of the stone fireplace. These unique architectural elements not only provide functional storage but also add a touch of visual interest and elegance to the room. They seamlessly blend with the overall design, contributing to the room's character and uniqueness.

Designed to make the most of every inch, the home includes a built-in mini office or study desk in the hall. A window and skylight contribute natural daylight to the space.

Preliminary designs and finished pieces for a beautiful custom home we contributed to in 2018. The basic layout and specifications were provided, we designed and created the finished product. The 14' dining table is elm and reclaimed Douglas fir with a blackened steel insert and trestle. The mantel was created from remnant beams from the home's construction.

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

Stepping back into the room- more custom work. The large sofa, custom upholstery with Scandinavian fabric, coordinated custom carpet and one-of-a-kind sofa table all contribute to softening a very domineering stone mantel.

This custom dressing room/walk-in closet is luxurious! I contributed to the beauty with the pink velvet draw-up curtain with long fringes! This is a great way to have instant privacy or openness with one pull of a cord! It matches the cover of the mini lounger cushion which I also created and including one of my custom pillows. Every gal wants one of these!

Creating an updated bathroom utilizing their expansive view was the homeowner's objective. The soaking tub's strategic location and the cut out wall in the custom shower achieved that goal. Complete customization of the cabinetry, frame-less shower door and magazine rack contributed to this bathroom's unique features. Outlets placed inside the medicine cabinets created clean sleek walls above the sinks. The integration of such quality manufacturers as Moen and Toto will yield a maintenance free bathroom for years to come.
