Amy found COGS on Houzz, and we created the space that she had been dreaming of for 16 years. Start by removing everything including bulkheads, useless partition walls and dated floors. The kitchen design process went well, and when we shopped for selections, Amy made decisive and elegant choices. CountryBoy Construction got the job done on schedule while adding insulation and electrical upgrades. The results are outstanding :-)

This kitchen renovation was a LONG time coming! Having worked on other projects in advance of this one, made doing the kitchen not only more fun, but also a bit more efficient! Lots of projects start with an inspiration item and this one was no exception. Our first field trip was a visit to a tile store where my client saw THE tile from across the room and it was love - and a final decision - at a first sight. It made the rest of the kitchen come together pretty quickly!

When Pennebaker Homes sent this client our way, she already had a folder of inspiration photos and a clear sense of the home she was building on her heavily wooded lot. Our job was to take that vision and translate it into cabinetry that would feel just as warm and rooted as the setting around it. This is exactly the kind of collaboration we love: a builder trusting us to guide their client through cabinetry and design decisions across the whole home, and together we get to build something that feels entirely her own.

This private residence at Sunday River in Maine has embraced reclaimed oak with almost every design decision. White oak was reclaimed for the flooring and paneling material. Reclaimed wire-brushed oak paneling was used for the ceiling. The large oak beams were surfaced by hand. Builder: Clearwater Builders Design: Rob Bramhall Architects Photography: Irvin Serrano

This kitchen was once an enclosed space with very limited room. The decision to open up the space and modernize the kitchen was a breath of fresh are. Adding some much needed light, this kitchen is bright and large. Pops of blue can be seen throughout the kitchen and lighting. Photos by Preview First.

Our client who we created this zen-like theater for was on a strict budget, but still wanted a space to enjoy a theater experience in a small group setting. We turned an unfinished space into a gorgeous, complete theater, included art and accessories, and did not have to sacrifice quality! Wise decisions when we designed the project - including creating detailed columns with drywall and moldings, selecting stylish light fixtures and substituting built-in cabinets with a one of a kind chest - led to us coming in right at our client's budget. Needless to say, our client was thrilled!

Designers gave the house a wood-and-steel façade that blends traditional and industrial elements.Photography by Eric Hausman Designers gave the house a wood-and-steel façade that blends traditional and industrial elements. This home’s noteworthy steel shipping container construction material, offers a streamlined aesthetic and industrial vibe, with sustainable attributes and strength. Recycled shipping containers are fireproof, impervious to water and stronger than traditional building materials. Inside, muscular concrete walls, burnished cedar beams and custom oak cabinetry give the living spaces definition, decorative might, and storage and seating options. For more than 40 years, Fredman Design Group has been in the business of Interior Design. Throughout the years, we’ve built long-lasting relationships with our clients through our client-centric approach. When creating designs, our decisions depend on the personality of our clients—their dreams and their aspirations. We manifest their lifestyle by incorporating elements of design with those of our clients to create a unique environment, down to the details of the upholstery and accessories. We love it when a home feels finished and lived in, with various layers and textures. While each of our clients and their stories has varied over the years, they’ve come to trust us with their projects—whether it’s a single room to the larger complete renovation, addition, or new construction. They value the collaborative team that is behind each project, embracing the diversity that each designer is able to bring to their project through their love of art, travel, fashion, nature, history, architecture or film—ultimately falling in love with the nurturing environments we create for them. We are grateful for the opportunity to tell each of clients’ stories through design. What story can we help you tell? Call us today to schedule your complimentary consultation - 312-587-9184

Uniquely situated on a double lot high above the river, this home stands proudly amongst the wooded backdrop. The homeowner's decision for the two-toned siding with dark stained cedar beams fits well with the natural setting. Tour this 2,000 sq ft open plan home with unique spaces above the garage and in the daylight basement.

Modern living with ocean breezes __ 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. __ Kim Pritchard Photography

Removing a tired old vinyl liner pool that was too large for this space and replacing it with this scaled down plunge pool was the best decision this homeowner could have made for this space. A sun ledge/bench combination and a large bench in the deep end provide plenty of seating space in this 12'x22' pool.

They were involved in every decision on architectural plans, build phase, selecting all finish-out items and furnishings and accessories.

The decision to go small is about her personal values, committing to a lifestyle, and living within her means. The move to design small is a subjective decision that weighs in on a number of factors that can’t possibly be summed up in one statement, but the obvious benefits jump to the front...easier to maintain, less cleaning, less expensive, less debt, less environmental impact, less temptation to accumulate. Her design requirements were simple, small footprint less than 1000 sq. ft., garage below the living area, and take advantage of the amazing view. It’s smaller than the average house, but designed in a way that it won’t feel like a shoebox. My client thought long and hard about downsizing her home and her lifestyle, and she couldn’t be happier

Converted from an existing detached garage, this Guest Suite is offered as a vacation rental in the Arbor Lodge neighborhood of North Portland. An early decision to preserve the garage rafter ties guided the concept of a modern cabin, juxtaposing knotty wood with clean white forms, utilitarian flooring with soft, cozy furnishings. Mindful of its studio-apartment layout, the open vaulted ceiling maximizes the volume and hints to lofted cabin sleeping quarters
