The grey trend has evolved in the last twelve months. Nowadays browns, beige and a touch of grey are in demand. Greige is the new buzzword.
Heavier hand scraped or contoured products, the rage that started around 2005 has taken a back seat in most areas, while a softer wire brushed "ceruse effect" seen mostly on White Oak has been remarkably strong showing no effects of becoming “dated” like the others mentioned.
Ceruse Color Possibilities
There are numerous color combinations to the "cerused" process with the most popular being white or off white. This design trend in hardwood flooring can have darker gray white oak with a mild ceruse off white effect.
There are limitless possibilities in either a prefinished hardwood floor or with what we can create for you in a custom on-site finished hardwood floor.
If something suits your fancy, contact us and we can work on creating just the look and sense of style you are looking for.

The Soho is a comfortable, hearty sofa that makes a bold and updated reference to mid-century modern design. Upholstered in luxurious linen-textured fabric, strong, square lines are softened by plush tufting all over, all a top beautiful gold-tone solid metal legs. While understated, Soho creates a design presence that cannot be missed. Works great as a standalone piece or pairs beautifully with the Soho club chair. Lends itself to living room, lounge, den and office spaces with modern and contemporary design styles.

Marvin Casemaster windows feature a crank handle that allows them to open and close from the side (similar to a book). The simple, sleek structural design of a Casemaster window compliments a number of architectural styles and works great with many styles of homes. The Casemaster is terrific for creating unique arrangements using Marvin’s terrific line of picture or awning windows.
The French Casemaster is a casement window that opens from the middle. It has no center obstruction—which means it has a more elegant and sleek look. Despite it’s center opening, the French Casemaster still has the strong, secure construction that Marvin Casemaster windows are known for—you get the look you want and the dependability you trust.
Marvin’s line of casement windows doesn’t stop there: the awning window and the venting picture window are other styles of Marvin casement windows that work well in a number of ways.

Before & After: Orleans Living Room
Here is a great example of how our in-home designers can work with furniture and accessories you already have and add to them to create a functional and beautiful space. Designer Dea Attar accomplished this with her Orleans living room project.
The Before:
This client had already begun the project and needed a designer to help finish the room. She wanted to keep the sofa, new rug and artwork and work around them to complete the look. The room is used occasionally for socializing purposes. As it is the first room you see when you come in to the house, the goal was to give it the WOW factor!
The designer’s concept and vision:
Inspired by the vibrant colours in the artwork, Dea planned to use the blues and greens as accents. She wanted the bigger pieces such as the furniture to remain neutral in order to make the accents pop. Dea selected a chair-and-a-half that had similar arms to the sofa and mixed the two styles together. Since the room was to be used occasionally, the chair-and-a-half could fit 2 people in a pinch but wouldn’t overwhelm the space. A small armless chair was introduced in the opposite corner of the room to create a circle of seating and accommodate socializing and conversations. She selected a fresh paisley pattern that combines the greens and blues together.
The after:
The result, a happy room with bright colours and strong accents that express exactly what the client had requested. Dea played with patterns of different scales and proportions to create a nice balance in the room. The multiple pillows used tied the mixed pieces together to complement the design and the accent colours. The introduction of mirrors created elegant reflections and made the room brighter. The chest and photo combo are a statement and a conversation starter that catch the eye of anyone entering the home.

Inspired by the client’s frequent trips to Martha’s Vineyard, this renovation project’s primary goal was to create a landscape complimentary of this Colonial Revival style home, reminiscent of Edgartown, Massachusetts.
The front landscape was specifically designed to offer expansive views of a layered horizontal foundation planting that nestled itself around the base of the home, allowing the home itself to be the star of the show. Flowering borders that rotate with the seasons create a strong foreground while a clipped yew hedge forms the barrier needed to separate the billowing panicle hydrangeas in the background. The axial design of the herringbone front walk, punctuated by a bluestone transitional space and formal cast limestone urn, create an axis by which all other landscape elements are symmetrically mirrored.
Desiring a rear entertainment space separated from the adjacent 4 car garage and recreational lawn, a series of intimate gathering spaces were designed to include Edgartown inspired architectural features that would establish the character of the garden while setting the backdrop for a robust mix of perennials, grasses, hedges and annuals. Mimicking the pattern and detail previously established on the stone base of the home, individually hand chiseled pieces of Valders veneer were used to construct the garden walls. Reclaimed street pavers border a reconfigured bluestone patio and create a garden walk that separates the garden into 4 equal quadrants; each section of the walk connecting itself to a prominent feature of the garden. The central paver transition space is backed by a concentric hedge of low growing boxwoods, delineating annual and perennial. The relocation of an arbor, in conjunction with a new evergreen hedge, creates the desired partition between relaxed conversation and open lawn activities. A brick masonry water feature with reclaimed 1916 antique cast iron tub anchors the garden and terminates the perennial adorned paver walk opposite the home’s fireplace centered within the main seating area.
Whether spending an evening with friends or a quiet moment alone, this quaint garden space offers our clients the perfect ambiance to pause and reflect on life’s special treasures.

This Kitchen renovation was created for a busy family who wanted their home to better support the way they lived.
With two children, a dog, and demanding professional schedules, the Kitchen was the heart of their home. However, the existing space felt outdated, inefficient, and disconnected from their personal style. The heavy wood finishes and worn materials no longer reflected the look or functionality they wanted.
The goal was to create a Kitchen that felt fresh and elevated, while still looking like it had always belonged in the home.
The new design focused on improving functionality while carefully selecting materials that blended seamlessly with the existing finishes. White oak veneer Kitchen cabinetry brought warmth and timeless character, while a natural dolomite countertop became the centrepiece of the space.
Custom cabinetry was also added to the Mudroom, creating additional storage and helping the home function better for everyday life.
The Clients had a strong vision and a preference for natural materials rather than standard builder-grade finishes. Through thoughtful conversations and careful sourcing, we helped bring that vision to life while balancing design goals and budget considerations.
The finished Kitchen is warm, functional, and timeless. It is a space designed not only to look beautiful but to support busy mornings, family meals, and everyday moments.

When the owners of this Sea Ranch property approached David Moulton AIA and Empire Construction they were seeking our help to answer a couple of design challenges. The first challenge was to create a weather proof walkway between the main house, a separate building that served as a study, and an adjacent bedroom over the garage. Between these buildings there was a beautiful collection of towering Redwood trees and a glade of ferns. Over the years the owners had observed that a wonderful array of wildlife made their way across the property through these tress and ferns. It was not unusual to glance out their window and see Deer, Jackrabbits, Fox and the occasional Bobcat between the trees. Longtime lovers of the forest and native landscape, as well as avid dog and cat owners, they felt very strongly that the design include the preservation of each and every tree, the glade of ferns and the wildlife thoroughfare. From the start then, the design required something suspended above the landscape.

Using new patented equipment, DesignerStone®Panels are made up of a front layer of thinly cut real stone (granite, travertine, onyx and marble) adhered to an unique backing which is then engineered using the most modern patented technology to create an extremely strong and light weight stone faced structure. We now have DSP's (onyx's, marble and travertine's) for outside use, flooring and for onxy's we have complete sealed units with lighting ready for install. These are custom made and can be shipped anywhere in the world.
The panels are made by cutting natural stone blocks as thin as 5mm. Depending on the type of stone and the use, the backings can be aluminum polymer composite, fibreglass, honeycomb, and PVB. The result is a natural stone panel that is stronger and much lighter than traditional large slabs of the same stone.

Sophisticated Kitchen Remodel with Custom Stonework and Seamless Flow
This striking kitchen remodel beautifully merges elegance and function, creating a cohesive flow with the adjacent family room and built-in bar area. Rich wood cabinetry in a warm, modern finish grounds the space, providing ample storage and a seamless look from floor to ceiling.
The centerpiece of the kitchen is the stunning island, wrapped in a bold, statement-making stone with natural veining that adds texture and drama. Echoing this feature, the custom range hood is clad in the same material, creating a strong focal point that ties the design together. Soft, neutral-toned quartz countertops and backsplash balance the heavier textures, keeping the space light and airy.
Modern chrome and leather barstools offer comfortable seating for casual dining or entertaining, while sleek black hardware adds a subtle contemporary edge. Thoughtful details like integrated appliances, a pot filler over the cooktop, and oversized windows that bring in natural light make this kitchen as functional as it is beautiful.
From the kitchen, your eye flows effortlessly to the bar area and family room, creating a unified and luxurious open-concept living space perfect for modern lifestyles.
