Door style: Horizon | Species: Red Oak SG | Finish: Coffee The first thing you may notice in this comfortable kitchen is the unique horizontal grain of the Horizon slab door style. The next thing may be the fine texture of the SG (straight grain) red oak veneer, in the deep Coffee stain. And of course, the horizontal upper wall cabinets are certainly noteworthy. Wherever you look, this is a remarkably creative setting. Showplace Wood Products: http://www.showplacewood.com/

Living room - mid-sized traditional open concept light wood floor living room idea in Houston with beige walls and a wall-mounted tv

A free-standing painting and drawing studio, distinctly contemporary but complementary to the existing historic shingle-style residence. Together the sequence from house to deck to courtyard to breezeway to studio interior is a choreography of movement and space, seamlessly integrating site, topography, and horizon.

Door style: Horizon | Species: Red Oak SG | Finish: Coffee Island: Red Oak Driftwood The first thing you may notice in this comfortable kitchen is the unique horizontal grain of the Horizon slab door style. The next thing may be the fine texture of the SG (straight grain) red oak veneer, in the deep Coffee stain. Or maybe it will be the uncommon character of the island's Driftwood finish. And of course, the horizontal upper wall cabinets are certainly noteworthy. Wherever you look, this is a remarkably creative setting. Showplace Wood Products: http://www.showplacewood.com/

We were hired to select all new fabric, space planning, lighting, and paint colors in this three-story home. Our client decided to do a remodel and to install an elevator to be able to reach all three levels in their forever home located in Redondo Beach, CA. We selected close to 200 yards of fabric to tell a story and installed all new window coverings, and reupholstered all the existing furniture. We mixed colors and textures to create our traditional Asian theme. We installed all new LED lighting on the first and second floor with either tracks or sconces. We installed two chandeliers, one in the first room you see as you enter the home and the statement fixture in the dining room reminds me of a cherry blossom. We did a lot of spaces planning and created a hidden office in the family room housed behind bypass barn doors. We created a seating area in the bedroom and a conversation area in the downstairs. I loved working with our client. She knew what she wanted and was very easy to work with. We both expanded each other's horizons. Tom Queally Photography

The dining area is a masterclass in high-altitude entertaining, where the city’s skyline acts as an immersive backdrop. Suspended above a sleek, dark-topped table, a sculptural geometric chandelier serves as a modern constellation, its crystalline forms echoing the architectural landscape beyond the glass. Mid-century inspired chairs with woven cane backs introduce a tactile, organic warmth, balancing the sharp precision of the panoramic views. Finished with ethereal Roman shades and pops of vibrant, jewel-toned glassware, the space is designed for long, celebratory dinners that watch the city transition from daylight to a glimmering urban horizon.
