Lynn and Richard Stephenson generously invited CRAFT to their new home in rural Springwater Ontario and chatted about all the details. The couple was involved and hands-on throughout all build-specifying phases. The final effect is a great layout with plenty of space for Lynn to exercise her decorating talents. The simple, nature-derived palette of white, earthy tones, greys and blues first instills a peaceful atmosphere, after that and when combined with the Stephenson’s company, the entire place is welcoming, homie, and was designed to be so.

A small fire caused by a hair dryer that sparked in the primary bathroom created an unexpected opportunity for a room remodel. Fortunately for our homeowners, the fire damage was minimal, but the smoke and water damage required an immediate fix. The bathroom encompassed two distinct spaces: a vanity area and a separate toilet room with an original bathtub. The design involved replacing the tub with a walk-in shower. With a family member’s carpentry skills as inspiration, the design for the vanity incorporated a custom-built vanity with dual sinks.

We designed and supplied this contemporary handle less kitchen in West Bridgford, Nottingham. We got involved at the start of the project and helped the client to plan the space to best suit their family needs. The overall design included the kitchen finishes and design, paint and flooring choices together with advice on furniture and lighting.

This whole home reno involved creating a kitchen greatroom on the main floor and significantly re configuring the upper floor including making a full master bathroom and converting an extra bedroom into walk in closet. An old family home transformed into a modern home for a great young family home of busy professionals.

The owner of this home in Maine involved Koncerted in the design process from day one, allowing us to create unique, integrated systems with no workarounds. Design was first priority for this client, so all tech—including whole home audio, full surveillance, video doorbells, home entertainment, and five televisions—was chosen and installed with a minimalist aesthetic in mind. This secure, tech-enabled home also has as its centerpiece a custom-made floating staircase with embedded motion-sensored LED lights that give it a glowing effect. Photographer: Keitaro Yoshioka

This home plan was one of our former plans that we reworked to fit the needs of the client. Billy, the Designer, Clients, and Architect worked on both the interior as well as exterior layout of the home until the design was exactly as the homeowners envisioned. The home had a few changes that had to be made once under construction so that it met the expectations of all involved in its desired layout. Philip Slowiak Photography

This project was a very large master closet that turned out to have a compound angled ceiling. The client wanted to use the ceiling height to make it more efficient and appealing. This involved a desire for a full height center Island (108”). Glazed Ivory Melamine with Extra Large Glazed Crown, Base, Classic Raised Panel Profiles for the doors and drawers complimented the home. Oil Rubbed Bronze rods, accessories and Venetian Bronze Hardware completed the “old world” look. Multiple jewelry inserts were included in the design. Shoe fences and tie butlers were on the client’s wish list. The system is entirely backed. Most of the lower areas were to be open for their clothing except one Wardrobe Cabinet to house formal attire. . Donna Siben-Designer for Closet Organizing Systems

Timmerman Photography A very interesting feature of this house is that it was done on a very tight budget and was invited to be on an AIA tour because it showed great design within a reasonable price-range. Stonecreek's involvement in the project was to work alongside the client and the architect to ensure the project remained in budget while still executing its dream and vision.

This project involved renovating and decorating a co-op in Center City, Philadelphia. It was a one-bedroom/one bath apartment with a kitchen at 700 s.f. We decided to give it a Mid Century Modern feeling in the living/dining area. The client was not involved in any of the decision-making, but did give us a few requests. We put in the Brazilian hardwood througout the living/dining room/kitchen. All the fixtures, paint, and window treatments are new. We purchased the new living room sofa and blue swivel chair. The wing chair (owner's) was re-upholstered. Since this was a high-low project, we purchased the hard pieces on Craig's list and at auction. The windows in this room face South, so we put in taupe/white solar blinds and softened them with creamy custom made chantung silk panels. The sofa was done in a tweedy orange color and is flanked by two floor lamps of chrome and lucite.

The homeowners purchased this midcentury home in the Richmond Beach neighborhood of Shoreline and jumped right into remodeling. The project involved taking the entire main floor down to the studs and opening up the spaces to create a great room. H2D worked with the owner to design a new, larger kitchen, open dining room, and vaulted ceilings through the main floor. The finished spaces have a clean, open, and sophisticated feel.
