The bathroom was transformed with a multitude of materials. Our client has a strong affinity for nature. However, we wanted to maintain a spa feel in the space. Therefore, we incorporated a serene sage green paint on the walls and a stone patterned porcelain on the accent wall in hues of sage, blue and assorted neutrals. These elements combined with the cement tile flooring (also picked up in the shower niche) have a nature-inspired feel without being too literal. The rich stain on the custom vanity and linen cabinet also brings a sense of the outdoors into space while the polished nickel finishes and white color palette throughout create a crisp and sophisticated finish.

The Renton Rustic Bookshelf is a handcrafted storage piece designed to combine warm solid pine wood with a strong industrial metal frame. Its open shelving structure creates a practical and visually balanced solution for books, plants, framed photos, baskets, office supplies, kitchen items, and decorative objects. Built from 100% solid pine wood shelves with a sturdy metal frame, Renton brings natural texture and architectural character into living rooms, home offices, bedrooms, entryways, studios, and retail interiors. The contrast between rustic wood grain and clean metal lines makes it suitable for industrial, farmhouse, rustic-modern, contemporary, and transitional spaces. Available in multiple width options, Renton can adapt to narrow walls, standard rooms, or larger display areas. Its tall profile provides generous vertical storage while the 14" depth keeps the design practical for everyday interiors without feeling overly bulky. With its handcrafted construction, water-resistant matte coating, open storage layout, and customizable finish options, Renton works as both a functional bookcase and a strong visual feature for organized, lived-in spaces.

This complete room design was featured in Annapolis Home Magazine Design Talk. The varying lines of the vaulted ceiling, the lower soffet and windows created a challenge of designing a room that feels balanced. We began by creating a strong architectural line around the room starting with new built-ins flanking the fireplace and continued with the decorative drapery rod of the custom window treatments. The woven wood roman shades and drapery panels were designed and installed to give the illusion of larger and taller windows. A room refresh included updating the wall color to an on trend millennial pink, a neutral gray tweed sofa, a subtle but fun pattern for their accent chairs, and a beautiful wool and silk rug to anchor the seating area. New lamps, coffee table, and accent tables with metallic, glass, and marble connect beautifully with the fireplace’s new stone surround.

The goal of this remodel was to open the kitchen to the dining room, add storage solutions that were otherwise lacking, include unique features, and update it overall while also giving homage to the age of the home. The small space proved challenging when trying to improve the workspace and storage options but was combatted by removing the wall between the kitchen and dining area to create a peninsula with seating. In addition, open shelving with metal supports offers easy access to dishes and glassware while black base cabinets set off by white uppers offer a strong contrast. The wood peninsula top and shelf over window add warmth and the brass pulls contrast nicely with cabinetry finishes.

An historic Spanish Colonial residence built in 1925 being redesigned and furnished for a modern-day Southern California family was the challenge. The interiors of the main house needed the backgrounds set and then a timeless collection created for its furnishings. Lifestyle was always a consideration as well as the interiors relating to the strong architecture of the residence. Natural colors such as terra cotta, tans, blues, greens, old red and soft vintage shades were incorporated throughout. Our goal was to maintain the historic character of the residence combining design elements and materials considered classic in Southern California Spanish Colonial architecture. Natural fiber textiles, leathers and woven linens were the predominated upholstery choices. A 7000 square foot basement was added and furnished to provide a gym, Star Wars theater, game areas, spa area and a simulator for indoor golf and other sports. Antiques were selected throughout the world, fine art from major galleries, custom reproductions fabricated in the old-world style. Collectible carpets were selected for the reclaimed hardwood flooring in all the areas. An estancia and garden over the basement were created and furnished with old world designs and materials as reclaimed woods, terra cotta and French limestone flooring.

Lincoln Lighthill Architect employed several discrete updates that collectively transform this existing row house. At the heart of the home, a section of floor was removed at the top level to open up the existing stair and allow light from a new skylight to penetrate deep into the home. The stair itself received a new maple guardrail and planter, with a Fiddle-leaf fig tree growing up through the opening towards the skylight. On the top living level, an awkwardly located entrance to a full bathroom directly off the main stair was moved around the corner and out of the way by removing a little used tub from the bathroom, as well as an outdated heater in the back corner. This created a more discrete entrance to the existing, now half-bath, and opened up a space for a wall of pantry cabinets with built-in refrigerator, and an office nook at the rear of the house with a huge new awning window to let in light and air. Downstairs, the two existing bathrooms were reconfigured and recreated as dedicated master and kids baths. The kids bath uses yellow and white hexagonal Heath tile to create a pixelated celebration of color. The master bath, hidden behind a flush wall of walnut cabinetry, utilizes another Heath tile color to create a calming retreat. Throughout the home, walnut thin-ply cabinetry creates a strong contrast to the existing maple flooring, while the exposed blond edges of the material tie the two together. Rounded edges on integral pulls and door edges create pinstripe detailing that adds richness and a sense of playfulness to the design.

This house features a glassy connection to the outdoors, with the pitched roof lifting toward the expansive views. Anchoring the living space is a freestanding alcove, surrounded by glass, creating an inglenook for the 6ft direct vent SPARK fireplace. This alcove is mirrored on the opposite side with folding doors to the outside. The horizontal proportions of the Spark fireplace extend the fireplace across the alcove. A hearth of bluestone is also the full width of the alcove, providing additional warm seating space. Burnished steel frames the fireplace opening, while cabinetry completes the alcove and hides the TV. The result is a focus of warmth for family and friends which is visible from the entire space. Practicable on a tight budget; with an accessible internal flow (we're not getting any younger); and Designed to strongly invite and reflect the agricultural land and building types around us. Understanding the need for a quick – and beautiful - way to warm us upon arrival on cold winter days lead us naturally to Spark Modern Fires.

When a headboard is low and barely visible behind the pillows, the wall above the bed can feel unfinished. A large-scale photograph creates the visual height and presence the headboard lacks, establishing a strong focal point and giving the bed a more substantial sense of scale. Crisp white bedding, velvet pillows and a soft textured throw complete the layered yet restrained composition.

The clients desired an Industrial and Contemporary look for their new kitchen. The original town home kitchen was smaller in size with a larger dining and family room area. Heavily influenced by the feel of New York lofts, the project started with strong and sturdy combination of metals, dark blues, woods, and greys. A softer, matching backsplash was added to balance and create a second focal point in the room. Expansive storage was achieved through multiple ceiling-height cabinets, double-sided island storage, and a sink facing open shelf cabinet. Treve Johnson Photography
