Montgomery Home is one of the collaborations Christie's have done with Castle Bespoke Flooring to create custom-made hardwood floors the homeowners of this beautiful home to fit their design needs. The white minimal interiors of the beautiful living spaces of this house provide ample space for sunlight to dance its magic on the hardwood floors giving an artistic touch to the interior space.

This terraced garden replaces an old sports court. The court is still serving as the patios in the middle terrace. Natural Bluestone was integrated in additional patios by the house and the lower terrace. The lower terrace serves as a water slowing drywell but is an excellent place to sit by an open fire pit and watch the Alpenglow on Mount Saint Helens and Mount Adams or watch the dancing city lights.

Backyard landscape
Inspiration for a huge transitional backyard stone patio remodel in Phoenix with a fire pit

total gut and rebuild to expand a kitchen footprint into the dining room and create a huge cooking and entertaining space. We removed the load bearing wall that separated the dining and kitchen area and installed an engineered beam in the ceiling to carry the load and open up the space. Relocating the sink, oven range and electrical enabled us to restructure and give our clients the kitchen of their dreams. This eclectic design features: ✨ Cambria Harlech quartz countertops which have sophisticated, rich coppers and golds dancing behind a dramatic dark brown copper vein paired with a stainless steel subway tile backsplash for a modern industrial style edge ✨ Floor to ceiling elevated Shaker style cabinetry with beadboard accent, a decorative venthood and butcher block island with ornate legs giving this space lots of personality ✨ All the bells & whistles for the home chef - microwave drawer in the butcher block prep island with trash can drawer, 6 burner professional range with pot filler and high powered range hood above and a huge single basin apron front sink. This collaboration of modern features, traditional elements and industrial-inspired accents was blended just right to create a sophisticated kitchen that's also warm and inviting.

The best thing about this kitchen flooring? It doubles as a dance floor! 3/8” thick engineered pre-finished hardwood floors in Monterey Gray by the Anderson Casitablanca collection.

This basement finish beautifully exemplifies the transitional design style, offering a range of functional and elegant spaces. Highlights include a golf simulator, a dance studio, a cozy living room, a stylish bathroom, and a sophisticated wet bar. The wet bar features a unique blend of textures, with a shiplap backsplash on one wall and Splendours White tile on another, complemented by floating shelves. It's fully equipped with an under-counter microwave and a beverage fridge. Two Seafarer 6" seedy glass pendants illuminate the space, while Peppercorn White quartz countertops, with their pebbled appearance and soft whites and warm grays, create a chic look. The basement's flooring combines Fauna LVP with brown tones, darker grains, and knots, resulting in a warm and inviting atmosphere. The bathroom also features the Peppercorn White quartz countertops from the bar area, and Quarzo Taj LVT provides an ivory backdrop with soft gray veins for a natural marble appearance. The walk-in shower boasts Bay Blue beveled accent tiles for the niche, Carrara Ultra White hex tiles for the shower pan, and Imperial Bianco Gloss tiles for a clean look on the walls. A beautiful boutique wall sconce with an oil-rubbed finish and a contemporary framed vanity mirror with rounded corners add a modern touch to the bathroom, which is fitted with new Delta fixtures. This basement transformation seamlessly blends practicality and elegance, creating an inviting and versatile living space.

The waterfall, with its graceful spillage, lends a natural, almost organic touch to the pool, reminiscent of a secluded lagoon. It becomes more than just a design element; it's an experience, inviting swimmers to luxuriate under its flow or onlookers to lose themselves in its calming dance. This harmonious blend of design and nature transforms the pool into an oasis of relaxation and rejuvenation.

This master bathroom renovation transforms a builder-grade standard into a personalized retreat for our lovely Stapleton clients. Recognizing a need for change, our clients called on us to help develop a space that would capture their aesthetic loves and foster relaxation. Our design focused on establishing an airy and grounded feel by pairing various shades of white, natural wood, and dynamic textures. We replaced the existing ceramic floor tile with wood-look porcelain tile for a warm and inviting look throughout the space. We then paired this with a reclaimed apothecary vanity from Restoration Hardware. This vanity is coupled with a bright Caesarstone countertop and warm bronze faucets from Delta to create a strikingly handsome balance. The vanity mirrors are custom-sized and trimmed with a coordinating bronze frame. Elegant wall sconces dance between the dark vanity mirrors and bright white full height mirrors flanking the bathtub. The tub itself is an oversized freestanding bathtub paired with a tall bronze tub filler. We've created a feature wall with Tile Bar's Billowy Clouds ceramic tile floor to ceiling behind the tub. The wave-like movement of the tiles offers a dramatic texture in a pure white field. We removed the existing shower and extended its depth to create a large new shower. The walls are tiled with a large format high gloss white tile. The shower floor is tiled with marble circles in varying sizes that offer a playful aesthetic in an otherwise minimalist space. We love this pure, airy retreat and are thrilled that our clients get to enjoy it for many years to come!

This commercial-to-residential remodel took an abandoned commercial building in southeast Portland and transformed it into an open, light-filled celebration of simplicity. Architect Elizabeth Williams of Pencil Work Studio designed the remodel of the building, which in its hundred-year life had served as nickelodeon, school, place of worship, and dance hall. The loft living space occupies the second floor, while music and rehearsal space occupies the first. After converting the building into a livable loft space, Hammer & Hand returned to remodel the existing kitchen with design by Risa Boyer Architecture.
