Our clients wanted to make the most of space so we gutted the home and rebuilt the inside to create a functional and kid-friendly home with timeless style.
Our clients’ vision was clear: They wanted a warm and timeless design that was easy to clean and maintain with two-active boys.
“It’s not unusual for our friends and family to drop past unannounced any day of the week. And we love it!” They told us during our initial Design Therapy Sesh.
We knew immediately what she meant - we have an open-door policy with our families, too! Which was why we consciously created living spaces that were open, inviting and welcoming.
Now, the only problem our clients would have would be convincing their guests to leave!
Our clients also enjoy coffee and tea so we created a separate coffee nook to help them kick start their day.

Joe and Denise purchased a large Tudor style home that never truly fit their needs. While interviewing contractors to replace the roof and stucco on their home, it prompted them to consider a complete remodel. With two young daughters and pets in the home, our clients were convinced they needed an open concept to entertain and enjoy family and friends together. The couple also desired a blend of traditional and contemporary styles with sophisticated finishes for the project.
JRP embarked on a new floor plan design for both stories of the home. The top floor would include a complete rearrangement of the master suite allowing for separate vanities, spacious master shower, soaking tub, and bigger walk-in closet. On the main floor, walls separating the kitchen and formal dining room would come down. Steel beams and new SQFT was added to open the spaces up to one another. Central to the open-concept layout is a breathtaking great room with an expansive 6-panel bi-folding door creating a seamless view to the gorgeous hills. It became an entirely new space with structural changes, additional living space, and all-new finishes, inside and out to embody our clients’ dream home.

The deco wall is one of our favorite things about this kitchen we designed and remodeled. It used to be the exterior of an old downtown Tulsa Art Deco building. Happily, KI kitchen designer Lesley Shollmier convinced the homeowners to utilize this little piece of Tulsa history and it now graces the wall of this beautiful penthouse suite kitchen!

A wandering creek centered in this rugged woodland garden leisurely curves through a rockery blend of -----gravel and -----stone. A variety of assorted stonework sizes and types recreate a convincing natural stream. A selected slab of -----stone becomes an irresistible naturalized footbridge.

The homeowner confessed that she found her bathroom depressing. She lived in an outdated 1980s space that turned her morning routine into a chore rather than a moment of self-care. After fifteen years in the house, she was finally ready to invest in herself.
What she was looking for was classic elegance with a touch of personality, something timeless that wouldn’t feel outdated in five years. And that’s precisely what we delivered.
The renovation required stripping everything down, even the studs. Opening up the walls, we discovered outdated plumbing that needed complete replacement: copper pipes and new drainage systems installed to current standards. We also installed appropriate waterproofing membranes, essential for long-lasting durability, especially in the shower area.
The design focuses on soft gray tones that feel calming rather than cold. The custom double vanity, with its elegant gray cabinetry and white quartz countertop, offers both beauty and functionality; Finally, no more fighting over mirror space in the mornings. Those chrome sconces flanking the mirrors add a touch of glamour while providing excellent lighting.
The true star of the design is the patterned tile. The homeowner was worried it would be “too busy,” but our designer was certain—and she was right—that it would bring the gray to life. We convinced her to try it, and it became the bathroom’s defining feature: a beautiful geometric pattern in black, white, and gray that adds character without overwhelming the space.
The combination of a bathtub and shower behind frameless glass creates a sense of spaciousness and light, with classic white subway tiles that never go out of style. Three windows flood the space with natural light, a luxury in any bathroom. The end result is a space of calm, relaxation, and beauty. That’s the kind of transformation that gives meaning to our work.

This customer came to us after a series of unfortunate health issues. They were having health complications that would simply not clear up. After seeing on the news that certain hardwood floors can cause the symptoms they were experiencing, the homeowner started shopping for a responsible, domestically manufactured hardwood floor that could be trusted. With our strict manufacturing standards, we were excited to re-do their hardwoods with this American-made product. The result? The homeowner's medical issues completely went away almost immediately. If we weren't convinced before, we certainly are now that what you put in your home is as important as what you put in your body.

As part of the extensively remodeled master bedroom—opening a wall and closing off a hallway bath entrance to make a suite—I convinced the homeowners that we should create a wall in mahogany, using the fireplace as the focal point. The advantages are both practical and stylistic. There is a classic elegance to the depth and sculpted lines of the panels and vertical columns of the mahogany wall. The rich wood tone is then continued in the master bath, just visible in the photo, with custom wood cabinets and checkerboard stone floor. The wall also offers storage for books, and provides a seamless housing for the gas fireplace edged in marble, and the inset TV.

In terms of space and materials, the master bath is one of the most luxurious rooms. Large scale Calacatta porcelain tile gives a seamless presence on the floor and leads the eye to the tub where elegant draperies frame the window. "This started out as shutters because they were worried about privacy," Mona says. "It took some convincing for us to go with the drapes, but it has turned out to be a favorite spot," one of the homeowners says.

Nestled on the shore of New Hampshire’s Lake Winnipesaukee, is a family’s winter ski retreat. Contrary to the norm, this vacation home sees more use in the winter months than in the summer season. Breathtaking views of Mount Washington against a backdrop of shoreline dominate the scene; this vista was a driving force in the decision-making process. Doors and windows on the lakeside of the house were enlarged and expanded on to enhance the owners’ appreciation of their vantage point. The homeowners embraced, with a bit of convincing, a dark blue trim color for the exterior rather than the ubiquitous forest green common in the White Mountains. What began as a small renovation project morphed into a full renovation; the location warranted the upgrade. The client’s trust in the design team resulted in a home that is unique: contemporary while still offering the warmth and coziness of a winter retreat. The introduction of soft wood tones, a custom copper kitchen hood, and a warm muted color palate for interior trim and doors brings a coziness to the space without evoking a mountain ski lodge. The materials chosen further enhanced the natural elements of the site location: organic features include an antler chandelier, salvaged wood throughout for the mantel, ceilings, stair newels, and interior barn doors, and a live edge built-in bench in the mudroom.
Spaces were designed to encourage family interaction and togetherness. The importance of solitude was thoughtfully crafted into the architecture and interiors of the family’s vacation home. SV Design made sure there were spaces where individual family members can pursue their own interests: a dedicated craft space, a family office, and a kids’ loft area.
The redesign was forward thinking, to take the family into future phases in life, from the current teenage years through college years, and into the beyond of expanded family possibilities.

Complementing the existing neo-classical architecture, we designed a bright transitional kitchen with walnut accents. We convinced the client to go electric with a bosch induction cooktop and range, stainless steel fridge, and drawer microwave (not pictured). Mixed metals with hardware and lighting help to bring this beautiful kitchen to life! Oh, and a car-sized island clad in this gorgeous dolomite we found at Absolute Stone.

A classic select grade natural oak. Timeless and versatile. The Modin Rigid luxury vinyl plank flooring collection is the new standard in resilient flooring.
Modin Rigid offers true embossed-in-register texture, creating a surface that is convincing to the eye and to the touch; a low sheen level to ensure a natural look that wears well over time; four-sided enhanced bevels to more accurately emulate the look of real wood floors; wider and longer waterproof planks; an industry-leading wear layer; and a pre-attached underlayment.

These clients (who were referred by their realtor) are lucky enough to escape the brutal Minnesota winters. They trusted the PID team to remodel their home with Landmark Remodeling while they were away enjoying the sun and escaping the pains of remodeling... dust, noise, so many boxes.
The clients wanted to update without a major remodel. They also wanted to keep some of the warm golden oak in their space...something we are not used to!
We laded on painting the cabinetry, new counters, new back splash, lighting, and floors.
We also refaced the corner fireplace in the living room with a natural stacked stone and mantle.
The powder bath got a little facelift too and convinced another victim... we mean the client that wallpaper was a must.

With over 25 years’ experience in horticulture, our painstakingly detailed design of lush green foliage gives off the impression of real plants due to a convincing growing pattern and a variety of textures. Unless you physically touch and smell it, it is impossible to tell it’s not the real thing! With our green walls there is little to no maintenance involved and no need for pesticides which are harmful to the environment. Although plastic, our product is not single use, it can be reused and recycled – which we believe is incredibly important.
We pride ourselves on being able to provide our clients with a customized green wall. Firstly, our signature three panel solution, eradicates repetition whilst giving a natural, random looking pattern. To further the customization, clients can position individual flowers and plants in the walls, tailoring it to their taste and tone, with our color box range.
