Situated in old Palo Alto, CA, this historic 1905 Craftsman style home now has a stunning landscape to match its custom hand-crafted interior. Our firm had a blank slate with the landscape, and carved out a number of spaces that this young and vibrant family could use for gathering, entertaining, dining, gardening and general relaxation. Mature screen planting, colorful perennials, citrus trees, ornamental grasses, and lots of depth and texture are found throughout the many planting beds. In effort to conserve water, the main open spaces were covered with a foot friendly, decorative gravel. Giving the family a great space for large gatherings, all while saving water.

THE PINSTRIPE RETREAT Sharp black stripes, suited for spa days. DESIGN DESCRIPTION This bathroom turns a simple idea into a showstopper: slim ribbons of black mosaic run across a bright white floor, drawing the eye from the vanity through to the shower like tailored pinstripes. A floating espresso double vanity keeps the floor open, while a round mirror hangs from a slender ceiling rod in front of a clerestory window, letting daylight frame the reflection. Textured glass panels give the walk-in shower privacy without blocking light, and inside, a ceiling-mounted rainfall head and a handheld wand make every shower feel like a spa visit. White sliding Shaker doors conceal generous storage, and a pierced ceramic garden stool adds a playful finishing touch. Bright, orderly and smartly detailed, it is a bathroom where every line has a purpose.

CONCRETE & CASHMERE Industrial edge, softly tailored. DESIGN DESCRIPTION In this loft-style home, raw architecture meets the refinement of a tailored suit. Exposed concrete ceilings sit above classic white wall panelling and warm herringbone oak floors, giving every room a balance of grit and grace. In the living room, a deep taupe velvet sectional, smoked glass tables and a cowhide rug invite lounging, while a sculptural smoked-chrome pendant floats above the dining table. The kitchen pairs Calacatta marble with bronze-toned cabinetry and a waterfall island lined with bentwood stools. In the bedrooms, charcoal upholstery, inky drapery and graphic black-and-white rugs create a moody, hotel-like calm. The bathrooms continue the story with cerused oak vanities, brushstroke tile and crisp modern fixtures. The result is urban luxury: bold, layered and effortlessly livable.

Up the ante of your bachelor's retreat (and alternative rooms) aesthetic by adding a meticulously stylised cornice boards. The cornice boards in this house includes (2) different materials, an upholstered wood top molding and absolutely symmetrical handicraft on the curtains. Also, the (4) animal skin wing-backed chairs square measure superbly adorned with nail-heads that are carried throughout the design. This bachelor retreat features a stunning pendant and hand-tufted ottoman table. This house is warm and welcoming and perfect for intimate conversations amongst family and friends for years to come. Please take note - when using cornices, one should decide what proportion return is required. Return is the distance your material hangs away from the wall. Yes, this additionally affects the proportion. Usually, return is 3½ inches. However, larger or taller windows might need a deeper return to avoid the fabric from getting squashed against the wall. An example of a mid-sized transitional formal dining area in Houston, Texas with dark hardwood floors, more, however totally different, large damask wallpaper on the ceiling, (6) custom upholstered striped fabric, scroll back chairs surrounding a gorgeous, glass top dining table, chandelier, artwork and foliage pull this area along for a really elegant, yet masculine space. As for the guest chambers, we carried the inspiration from the bachelor retreat into the space and fabricated (2) more upholstered cornices and custom window treatments, bedding, pillows, upholstered (with nail-heads used in the dining area chairs) headboard, giant damask wallpaper and brown paint. Styling tips: (A) Use nail-heads on furnishings within the alternative rooms to display a reoccurring motif among the house. (B) Use a similar material from one amongst your upholstered furnishing items on the cornice board for visual uniformity. Photo by: Kenny Fenton

OAK & ALABASTER Veined stone, natural oak and open shelves bathed in daylight. DESIGN DESCRIPTION Sunlight pours into this condo kitchen, where soft white surfaces and honey-toned oak create a warm, welcoming balance. Floor-to-ceiling slabs of veined stone form a dramatic backdrop, layered with chunky white oak floating shelves for everyday dishes and favourite pieces. A dark metal-clad hood adds a strong architectural accent. The waterfall island hides warm oak-fronted storage on its living-room side, with hexagonal counter stools tucked beneath a row of glass teardrop pendants. Fully integrated cabinetry keeps the lines clean, and a white gooseneck faucet blends into the palette. Nearby, a round stone-topped table and curved cream chairs make an inviting spot for casual meals. Fresh, warm and thoughtfully planned, it is a kitchen made for both cooking and gathering.

The soaring cathedral ceilings and warm exposed beams were the only features to speak of in this non-descript open landing. Off the hallway near the kids’ rooms, its small size and open layout made it something in between a hallway and a room. While most might consider a TV or office nook for this space, its adjacency to the children’s quarters inspired the designer toward something more imaginative. Inspired by the bright open space, this design achieves a sort of Balinese treehouse aesthetic – and all of it is designed specifically for fun. Playful hanging beds swing freely on sisal rope, creating a beckoning space that draws in children and adults alike. The mattresses were filled especially with non-toxic, non-petroleum natural fiber fill to make them healthy to sleep and lounge on – and encased in removable, washable organic cotton slipcovers. As the children are young, the floor space (finished in non-toxic lacquer) is kept clear and available for sprawling play. Large storage benches topped with walnut seats keep toys and books well organized, and ready for action at any time. Dave Bryce Photography
