White Oak cabinets are a mainstay in many modern and contemporary homes. But this project riffs on the popular design in a new and refreshing way. A rich Bourbon stain, wire mesh cabinet door panels, and polished brass fixtures give this remodeled kitchen a refined and original look that’s not like the neighbors.
The warm, expressive character of the oak creates a strong foundation for the space that makes it feel like home. One of the kitchen’s most distinctive details is the use of wire mesh in select cabinet doors. The translucent panels break up the expanse of wood while offering a glimpse of what’s inside, adding a subtle layer of texture and visual interest.
Paired with the polished brass hardware and and carefully selected finishes, these details give the kitchen a refined, almost furniture-like quality. That’s especially apparent in the distinctly shaped kitchen island, designed to perfectly fit the space.

The gently sloping block allowed for a single level easy access home. Living spaces are on the north side, enjoying abundant sunlight from morning until early afternoon and a strong visual connection to the garden. The main bedroom enjoys a segregated, northerly aspect, its articulated form protruding past the living spaces provides additional shading in summer. Additional bedrooms, sitting room and utility spaces are at the rear. External rendered ‘Exsulite’ foam walls, tinted double glazing and high specification insulation means a 7.5 star energy rating. The front of the house creates interest through form and texture, driven by the decision to eliminate windows to the west. The final result, with one small window, uses metal cladding to gently wrap the curved wall leading visitors to the brightly coloured front door. The simple façade is completed by an integrated garage door, effectively hidden in a finely detailed wall of Weathertex cladding.

This Roswell residence was a full-service project, from site planning through architecture, landscape, and finishing details. The design was guided by the homeowner’s strong vision for historically accurate interiors and timeless character, which required careful attention to every element, from custom flooring to specialty finishes and architectural detailing. Collaboration was at the heart of this project. Working closely with the clients allowed us to tailor the home to their lifestyle while achieving the authenticity they were seeking. Special design touches and unique features were integrated throughout, creating a residence that feels both personal and enduring. While the corner lot and neighborhood guidelines required thoughtful planning and coordination with the city, these considerations became a backdrop to the overall design process. The result is a home that harmonizes with its setting, while standing out for its authenticity, craftsmanship, and charm.

Primary bedroom in a contemporary waterfront residence by Hyde Evans Design, Madrona, Seattle. This Jim Olson-designed home called for an interior that matched the architectural ambition of the structure, and the primary bedroom delivers with a custom swinging daybed that doubles as the room's signature design moment. The deep, muted palette of rusts, greens, and blues carries through from the main living areas, grounding the space against the water views beyond. Furnishings balance strong curves with more angular forms, creating contrast without restlessness. Interior Design: Hyde Evans Design, Seattle, WA. Photography: Kara Mercer

REDUCED PRICE $9,495.00
Alexander Ney White Glaze Terracotta Sculpture American/Russian B. 1939
Ney is a museum-held artist, who created these wonderful Italian terra-cotta sculptures for over 50 years Originally from Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) Soviet Union and immigrated to France in the early 1970's and 1974. Legendary artist Robert Motherwell and the wife of William de Kooning moved Ney to the USA. Over the years he has been represented by galleries in NYC and Moscow, with strong following amongst both art collectors as well as fellow artists.

This sumerhill condo got a full update throughout. We repainted the walls and replaced the flooring to completely refresh the space. Wainscoting was added for extra detail and character. Custom cabinetry was built to improve storage and function, and a built in mantle was added in the living area to create a strong focal point. The bathroom was fully gutted and rebuilt with all new finishes for a clean, modern feel.

We are absolutely in love with this traditional style, custom bench. The combination of the more contemporary finished white oak with the classic lines and upholstery, really make this piece unique.
Building this was incredibly rewarding. The bead profiles, the flutes on the legs, the intersecting corner blocks and the joinery that brought it all together made this piece extremely difficult. The in-progress photos below hopefully give you a good sense of the detail involved in building this piece of furniture. But as with most challenges, completing them brings a unique satisfaction.
Despite the fact that this bench looks delicate, it is actually very strong. This is largely due to the floating mortise and tenon joinery and 1 3/4" hardwood frame that is underneath the upholstery. Our hope is that we have blended strength, beauty and functionality to create something that will last and our customer is thrilled to see each time they walk in their space.
