Karla Trincanello, CID, Interior Decisions, Inc.This well used but dreary bathroom was ready for an update but this time, materials were selected that not only looked great but would stand the test of time. The large steam shower (6x6') was like a dark cave with one glass door allowing light. To create a brighter shower space and the feel of an even larger shower, the wall was removed and full glass panels now allowed full sunlight streaming into the shower which avoids the growth of mold and mildew in this newly brighter space which also expands the bathroom by showing all the spaces. Originally the dark shower was permeated with cracks in the marble marble material and bench seat so mold and mildew had a home. The designer specified Porcelain slabs for a carefree un-penetrable material that had fewer grouted seams and added luxury to the new bath. Although Quartz is a hard material and fine to use in a shower, it is not suggested for steam showers because there is some porosity. A free standing bench was fabricated from quartz which works well. A new free
standing, hydrotherapy tub was installed allowing more free space around the tub area and instilling luxury with the use of beautiful marble for the walls and flooring. A lovely crystal chandelier emphasizes the height of the room and the lovely tall window.. Two smaller vanities were replaced by a larger U shaped vanity allotting two corner lazy susan cabinets for storing larger items. The center cabinet was used to store 3 laundry bins that roll out, one for towels and one for his and one for her delicates. Normally this space would be a makeup dressing table but since we were able to design a large one in her closet, she felt laundry bins were more needed in this bathroom. Instead of constructing a closet in the bathroom, the designer suggested an elegant glass front French Armoire to not encumber the space with a wall for the closet.The new bathroom is stunning and stops the heart on entering with all the luxurious amenities.
Wren & Willow, Inc.The 1940's house was attached to a local laundromat, and the decision was made to remove the laundromat building but retain the original house. The plan is to eventually build a commercial building where the laundromat previously stood.

CambriaWhen architect Christopher Strom was planning this retreat on the north shore of Lake Superior, he faced an essential decision. This open concept seems anchored by the kitchen’s upper wall of #MyCambria Brittanicca, which the eye follows down to the counters and across the ample island. Brittanicca offers a creamy marbled background of neutral white that provides a stage on which gray islands and peninsulas meander among intertwining ashen veins dotted with veiled charcoal speckles. #CambriaStyle

Pierce Lamb ArchitectsThe homeowner is a naturalist and nature-educator, and wanted the screen porch addition to feel like being in the forest. This concept led to finish decisions: wide expanses of screen, wall framing to blend in with the existing house, and a finished ceiling using fir framing and beadboard. The ridge height is 14-ft, a dimension that reflects the various lines of the existing split-level house, and determined heights for transom, railings, and eave details.
SV DesignLocated on the flat of Beacon Hill, this iconic building is rich in history and in detail. Constructed in 1828 as one of the first buildings in a series of row houses, it was in need of a major renovation to improve functionality and to restore as well as re-introduce charm.Originally designed by noted architect Asher Benjamin, the renovation was respectful of his early work. “What would Asher have done?” was a common refrain during design decision making, given today’s technology and tools.

This is another development project EdenLA assisted the client to finish quickly and for top dollar. The fun challenge of more contemporary spaces is how to make them warm and inviting while still maintaining the overall masculine appeal of their architecture. Water features, playful custom abstract art, unique furniture layouts, and warm stone and cabinetry decisions all helped to achieve that in this space. Beach Life Construction implemented the architect's indoor-outdoor flow on the top floor beautifully as well.

DEANE Inc | Distinctive Design & CabinetryLocated in the highly sought-after Allwood neighborhood of Darien, this spec house is the fourth collaboration with a client who first began with a renovation of her own home. While architecturally it is a traditional home from the exterior, the interiors are more transitional in style. In order to compete in the speculative market, our client’s directive was clear – ‘differentiation the kitchen design from every other spec house’. So we incorporated painted cabinetry but highlighted with rift-cut white oak base cabinets. This contrast between these finishes influenced our decision to select a subtle white quartzite countertop to deliberately highlight the striking porcelain backsplash.
The steel and glass partition frames the space – drawing the eye to the focal point of the kitchen, the custom stainless steel hood. Gold hardware adds a pop of flair to the space and warms the room. Walnut drawer inserts, stainless steel appliance garage, pull out trash drawers with compost bins and a stylish desk make this the Gold Standard of spec houses.
Creative Surfaces Countertops & TileWhen this homeowner remodeled and added onto their existing home, they moved in with mom. It was a project that took several months. Lots of decision to make and so many options. With small children in the home, they specifically wanted virtually maintenance-free countertops. But what product and what design. Learning that Cambria was made in their home state of Minnesota, the product decision was easy. Not able to zero in on just one design for their whole home, they opted to use several designs beginning with Cambria Galloway quartz on the combination kitchen island that include wood and quartz; accented by Cambria Canongate on the perimeter cabinets. In the family room you'll find a large u-shaped wet bar with Cambria Sheffield countertops. If you wander the basement for some entertainment, you'll find a wine cellar with Cambria Blackwood and the master bathroom vanity showcases Cambria Darlington. The entry from garage features open cubbies/lockers for the kids with Wilsonart laminate bench.

Breathe Design StudioBreathe Design Studio helped this young family select their design finishes and furniture. Before the house was built, we were brought in to make selections from what the production builder offered and then make decisions about what to change after completion. Every detail from design to furnishing was accounted for from the beginning and the result is a serene modern home in the beautiful rolling hills of Bee Caves, Austin.

Vicki Simon Interior DesignCountertop opposite the sink area was done in Pental Quartz material. The horizontal striping in the quartz and the horizontal tile placement respects the horizontality of the 1940's house with its one-story low profile and its horizontal window mullion original design. All decisions mindful to respect the architecture.
dRemodeling Design-BuildTaking advantage of minimalist design, adding a splash of design such as a colorful canvas is a great way to activate a room. In contrast to a bathroom with darker tones and mood lighting, a gentle space full of light and decisively calm pantones can compliment and curate a work of art in exemplary fashion.

HouseMill DesignAfter the perfect shade of green paint was selected, the next decision we made was on the dining chandelier. The homeowner shared this Visual Comfort chandelier with our team and we knew it was the perfect one to bring a modern touch to the room. We added an extra long farmhouse table, a muted rug and traditional style chairs to provide an elegant environment for dinner parties or family gatherings.
ARTium Design BuildWe doubled the kitchen footprint by integrating the old eating nook into the new kitchen plan — and building the space around a generous island.
That one decision created breathing room. Instead of squeezing around separate zones, the kitchen became one connected space where prep, cooking, and conversation can happen together.
