Transitional Kitchen Remodel with Exposed Brick in Downtown Frederick Row House This imaginative remodel takes a two-story addition on a classic downtown Frederick row house and transforms it into a dream kitchen. The design seamlessly blends transitional style with the home's historic charm, creating a warm and inviting space. Taking Center Stage: Exposed Brick and Transitional Touches The focal point of the kitchen is the exposed brick wall that continues from the existing structure up the new two-story addition. This rustic element is cleverly incorporated around the custom hood vent positioned directly above the cooktop. The hood vent has a sleek, stainless-steel design with a modern profile, contrasting beautifully with the warmth of the brick. Transitional Elements Throughout The rest of the kitchen embraces the transitional theme. Imagine Sedona blue full overlay-style cabinets with clean lines and brushed nickel hardware. These cabinets offer ample storage while maintaining a fitting look to the space. The countertops are wood butcher block, complementing both the blue cabinets and the exposed brick. A Touch of Luxury Elevate the space with a statement backsplash. To add a hint of luxury, incorporate a band of mosaic tiles just above the countertop, running the entire length of the backsplash. Light and Bright Flood the kitchen with natural light by incorporating windows in the new addition. Adding recessed lighting and stylish pendant lights to further brighten the room. Warming Touches Ground the space with Sedona blue wood accents. This can be achieved through open shelving strategically placed next to the cabinetry, showcasing cookbooks, pottery, or other decorative items. The flooring can be a dark-brown hardwood that complements the exposed brick and the warmth of the wood accents. Seating and Functionality For a casual dining area, incorporate a peninsula with seating for two. The peninsula can also house additional storage and prep space. To maximize functionality, consider a dining area with a table for four that blends with the décor. Appliance Harmony Stainless steel appliances with clean lines will seamlessly integrate with the transitional design. Consider a built-in oven and microwave for a sleek, uncluttered look. Bringing it all Together This thoughtful remodel creates a stunning and functional kitchen that celebrates the home's historic charm while embracing modern conveniences. The exposed brick wall acts as a conversation starter, while the transitional elements create a timeless and inviting space perfect for entertaining or everyday family meals.

The owners of this beautiful home came to us looking for help creating an outdoor living space that would complement their empty nester lifestyle. Together we designed a swimming pool that would provide hours of fun for their grandchildren and an elegant backdrop for the many grown-up events they love hosting at their home. The pool features an expansive, bluestone deck to give young swimmers and parents plenty of space to move around, large shallow end steps to make getting in and out a little easier, and a raised spa for evening and late season use. Over-water jets and colored LED lights are conversation starters for children and adults alike. Phil Nelson Imaging

Contrast in the Kitchen – Texture to Taste in a Grand Junction, CO custom home We normally associate texture with food, clothes, and even sound. In reality, it is a part of every aspect of our lives. In our Grand Junction, Appleton, Fruita, Palisade, and Redlands, Colorado homes, texture lives on everything from our walls to washcloths. It isn’t something we normally consider holistically or view with intent. While designing interiors, texture becomes our way to bring visual interest and emotion into the space. Adding textures to a space invites touch and evokes an understanding of the design intent. Materials like linen and wood can be combined to make a space feel streamlined yet cozy. Leather and velvet can be paired to create a luxurious retreat. In one of our recent projects, our clients had a distinct vision for their new kitchen and outdoor custom home living spaces. They were in need of a design that combined their kitchen, living, and outdoor spaces into a seamless oasis for their everyday routines. Their home has a unique architectural voice and they wanted to emphasize the character that was already there. Blending textures and colors throughout this project was how everything remained cohesive and spirited. The purpose of contrasting materials We used contrasting materials in the cabinetry to distinguish between the perimeter – high gloss – and the natural gathering space – maple. By contrasting the soft nature of maple in the cabinets and in the flooring with the harder textures of concrete and steel, we were able to offset the space’s tendency to feel like an alpine cabin. However, using contrasting textures does not always provide a dynamic interior. The high-gloss cabinets function as a vessel for various textures. They take on whatever happens to be reflected in them, bringing in elements from unexpected sources. The function of texture Along with rich black hardware, the unique backsplash adds an element of handcrafted care that naturally draws your eye throughout the space. The unevenness of each tile provides the space with intentional imperfections, giving it life and visual delight. Textures like these are great conversation starters or simply eye candy. To extend their living and dining spaces to the exterior, our clients also updated the numerous decks around the home, as well as the cladding. This gave us the opportunity to develop a texture and color story for their exteriors. Considering finishes in a location as distinctive as the Western Slope can either be viewed as a challenge or an opportunity. We have the desert, evergreen groves, riversides, and snowstorms to glean inspiration from while designing. For us, utilizing palettes that compliment the home’s natural surroundings is crucial. This home happens to live on a densely wooded plot of land with mature trees providing plenty of shade. This backdrop informed our color selections, while the existing architecture drove the material selections. The wood decking adds warmth, the horizontal cream siding brightens, the gray cedar leaves a part of the original architectural intent, and the green entry wall adds drama. The existing beams were left original because it is difficult to find materials that match the grandeur of the home. Recognizing good design Next time you walk into a well-designed custom home and immediately feel at ease, take some time to notice why you may be feeling that way. The subtlety of blending textures and colors can have a profound impact on how a space is perceived. You can see some of our other design projects here.

A once used office was turned into Kevin and Jessica’s stylish dry bar. This area was being used as a storage room and they wanted to entertain in style. A connoisseur of beverages, Kevin wanted to spotlight several of his prized bottles as conversation starters. We started out by doing a desired analysis. They wanted the room to feel comfortable and less formal. A place that they could walk into and feel relaxed. The cabinets chosen were a shaker style and the color called Denim. Truly a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. The custom header at the top completes the install by allowing our craftsman to highlight the beauty of the wood. We installed two natural stained shelves to compliment the blue and the brass finished sconce lighting. The exposed bulbed fixtures elevates the pub experience. The backsplash is called Cassettone from the Tile Shop, which pairs nicely with the Montenegro Quartz Countertop from Arizona Tile. As a team, we enjoyed working with Kevin & Jessica from the beginning to completing the project. We are happy that they are highly pleased with the outcome.
