In this kitchen up in Desert Mountain, we provided all of the cabinetry, countertops and backsplash to create the Mid Century Modern style for our clients remodel. The transformation is substantial compared to the size and layout it was before, making it more linear and doubling in size.
For the perimeter we have white skinny shaker cabinetry with pops of Hickory wood to add some warmth and a seamless countertop backsplash. The island features painted black cabinetry with the skinny shaker style for some contrast and is over 14' long with enough seating for 8 people. In the fireplace bar area, we have also the black cabinetry with a fun pop of color for the backsplash tile along with honed black granite countertops. The selection choices of painted cabinetry, wood tones, gold metals, concrete flooring and furniture selections carry the style throughout and brings in great texture, contrast and warmth.

The addition of a pergola to any deck or patio inherently enhances its aesthetic appeal. Our pergola in Highland Lakes exemplifies this, melding functionality with striking beauty. The structure offers a shaded retreat, essential for those warm Birmingham days, and a new dimension of vertical interest. This verticality adds a sense of height and openness, making the space feel larger and more inviting.
Moreover, the design of this pergola makes a bold architectural statement. We've given it a 'beefier' appearance by incorporating substantial 8x8 posts and robust 4x6 rafters. This choice ensures durability and contributes to a more pronounced, visually impactful presence in the outdoor area. These thoughtful details elevate our pergolas from mere additions to transformative elements of any outdoor space, perfectly blending elegance with practicality.
This functional aspect and our commitment to aesthetic excellence are at the heart of our approach to creating elegant pergola designs. It's how we cater to our clients’ diverse needs and tastes in Birmingham, AL, turning their outdoor visions into breathtaking realities.

Coming home has never felt better...This complete exterior home renovation & curb appeal has vibes of Palm Springs written all over it!!! Views of the Organ Mountains surrounded by the Chihuahuan Desert creates an outdoor space like no other. Modifications were made to the courtyard walls, new entrance door, sunset balcony included removing an over designed standard staircase access with a new custom spiral staircase, a new T&G ceiling, minimized obstructing columns, replaced w/substantial cedar support beams. Stucco patch, repair & new paint, new down spouts & underground drainage were all key to making a better home. Now our client can come home with feel good vibes!!! Our next focus was the access driveway, taking boring to sophisticated. With nearly 9' of elevation change from the street to the home we wanted to create a fun and easy way to come home. 8" bed drystack limestone walls & planters were key to making the transition of elevation smooth, also being completely permeable, but with the strength to retain, these walls will be here for a lifetime. Accented with oversized Mossrock boulders and mossrock slabs used for steps, naturalized the environment, serving as break points and easy access. Native plants surrounded by natural vegetation compliments the flow with an outstanding lighting show when the sun goes down. Welcome to your home!!!

A classic colonial transformation was the task at hand. Taking typical compartmentalized rooms and creating an open concept with expansive windows and updating all the finishes not only brought the outside in but also completely reconfigured the flow and sightlines of the home.
Set in a tranquil and private setting made maximizing natural light and vistas a priority. The walk-out basement now has open unobstructed views of the sparkling in-ground pool and native landscaping. Contemporary finishes, new custom built-in murphy bed and media wall, as well as a renovated full bath, wet bar and home gym tie the renovation together seamlessly.
The first floor overhaul consists of a true open concept kitchen, dining and living spaces. The kitchen was designed without upper cabinets allowing for panoramic outdoor views as well as open and airy work surfaces with tandem islands. A brand new mudroom was designed as the perfect transition between garage and renovated first level. Along with a brand new stair design, wall paneling, renovated powder room, flooring and new light fixtures throughout gave this outdated home a fresh facelift.
The exterior's total modification was enhanced with a distinct new entry flanked by substantial stone columns and double height entry. All new siding, windows and spacious deck completed the total improvements and created a truly remarkable before and after project!

This Great Falls kitchen was redesigned to give a family of six more room to cook, gather, and entertain. Structural modifications made space for a substantial island with seating for six, generous preparation space, and a warm stained-wood base that grounds the light-filled room.
Custom cream cabinetry provides extensive storage while keeping the long kitchen bright and timeless. A white apron-front sink, brass plumbing fixtures and cabinetry hardware, and sculptural white pendants add warmth to the restrained palette. Professional-grade appliances and a custom plaster hood create a strong focal point at the cooking wall.
Across from the island, a built-in beverage station combines glass-front cabinetry, display shelving, library lighting, refrigeration, and concealed storage.
The result is an elegant but highly practical kitchen designed for everyday family life, effortless entertaining, and the memories created around it.

A substantial installation of 82 yards of fabric was used to create a continuous wall of functional drapery panels, introducing both scale and softness to the space. The refined pattern subtly incorporates the room’s wall color while weaving in the established blue and green palette, ensuring a cohesive and layered visual narrative. This extensive use of custom drapery enhances acoustics, adds movement, and brings a tailored, couture-level finish to the interior.
A quietly textured, custom area rug grounds the television viewing area, anchoring the sofa and defining the seating zone with understated elegance. Its muted coloring allows the surrounding furnishings and architectural elements to take precedence while providing warmth and comfort underfoot.
An oversized ottoman, reupholstered in a soft grey faux shagreen, introduces a durable yet luxurious surface that balances practicality with refined texture. Its generous scale supports multifunctional use in this busy family space, while the material choice ensures easy maintenance without compromising on sophisticated design. Together, these elements create a harmonious living environment where comfort, performance, and elevated design coexist seamlessly.
