Located in the charming High Pines neighborhood, this project was born out of necessity and vision. The homeowners—a couple with three young daughters—had outgrown their dated home but found that the cost and compromises of buying a new property in Miami simply didn’t make sense. Instead, they chose to invest in a full-scale renovation, tailored to enhance their lifestyle, maximize space, and modernize every corner of their home.
The transformation included opening up the kitchen to create more connected living spaces, enclosing a discreet laundry room, remodeling all bedrooms and bathrooms, creating a resort-style outdoor retreat with a new pool, patio, and outdoor kitchen, and building an 800-square-foot master suite addition. The result is a cohesive, family-friendly design that balances style, comfort, and function.
Main Living Areas
At the heart of the home, the kitchen showcases custom Shaker-style cabinetry, sleek quartz countertops, and a spacious central island designed for entertaining. Pendant lights above the island add warmth and character, while linear diffusers subtly enhance airflow. Custom refrigerator panels create a cohesive, high-end aesthetic, all set atop durable wood-look porcelain tile flooring that extends throughout the living spaces.
Flowing effortlessly into the living room, the open-concept design promotes comfort and sophistication. Recessed and linear LED lighting highlight a striking tropical wood feature wall, while a wood slat divider adds architectural interest and provides subtle separation without sacrificing openness. Hidden within this feature wall is a discreet door leading to a new, efficiently designed laundry room.
Master Suite Addition
A major highlight of the renovation is the luxurious 800-square-foot master suite addition, a serene retreat offering privacy and indulgence. The master bedroom features linear LED lights, elegant pendant lighting, and a space-saving pocket door that enhances flow.
The adjoining master bathroom evokes a spa-like atmosphere, with a massive shower and built-in steam room as the centerpiece. A bold black-and-white geometric tile pattern brings striking visual contrast, complemented by globe-style light fixtures, a sleek vanity, dark wood cabinetry, and soft-toned hexagon tile flooring. A custom walk-in closet with tailored cabinetry completes the suite with a blend of organization and luxury.
Outdoor Living
The outdoor space was completely reimagined to function as an extension of the home—ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. The redesigned pool features a modern aesthetic with a party bench and sun shelf. The patio ceiling is finished in Thermo Wood Ayous for a warm, natural feel, while the gourmet outdoor kitchen boasts porcelain countertops, dark blue cabinetry with stainless steel hardware, and a high-end stainless steel grill.
Additional Spaces
Throughout the home, the existing bedrooms and bathrooms were fully renovated to meet the needs of the growing family. Custom mahogany and painted Shaker-style vanities, porcelain tile, glass shower enclosures, new doors, flooring, and upgraded closet systems bring functionality and design into every corner.
Curb Appeal
The renovation begins at the front door with a striking modern tropical wood entry, porcelain tile pathway, and a stucco clapboard façade. Rich Thermo Wood Ayous soffits add depth and warmth to the exterior, creating a welcoming and cohesive aesthetic that hints at the thoughtful transformation within.

Here's a complete bathroom remodel done for a family in Long Beach. Though this bathroom may look like a simple small and compact bathroom, this room holds a lot of great features. The main attraction of this bathroom comes from the open shower that is accompanied by a accented black tile wall. This shower is also featured with a full length niche for shower accessories and a bench for extra support. The bathroom is enhanced more by the golden features that come from the knobs and faucet. This bathroom is the perfect master bathroom extension.

One of the most popular hardwood floor finishing which offers Tom & Peter Flooring is provided by WOCA. If you’ve decided that you want a natural looking wooden floor that is lacquer-free, then the likelihood is that you’ve chosen oil as your way of protecting your wood and making your floor look great at the same time. WOCA for wood flooring comes in various forms and is a great way of making sure that your wood is protected, but at the same time looks natural. A highly popular as well as effective way of treating wood floors, oils effectively penetrate into the wood and in some cases harden into the surface of the floor to stop damage and to maintain the wood in its optimum condition.
WOCA Oil finish hardwood flooring has taken the United States market by in 2014 and shows no signs of slowing down in 2016 and now. Here are some of the most common questions we have regarding this type of finish which we will I’m to answer in today’s my blog:
Is oil finish as durable as traditional factory urethane finishes with aluminum oxide?
When it comes to durability, oil finish flooring tackles the issue with a completely different method. The penetrating oil serves as protection from moisture and wear while allowing the user to feel the wood grains in their bare feet. If compared directly to factory finished aluminum oxide finish, the oil finish flooring will not perform as well to abrasion and impact. However, the beauty of this finish is the fact that it will camouflage any scratches which will inevitably accumulate over time.
Will this finish evaporate over time and will this be harmful for indoor air quality?
Another concern for oil finished floors its effect on indoor air quality. For on-site applications, some varieties suggest several coats which typically require the residents to be out of the home due to mild odors. However, there are factory finished UV-cured or single coat applications which lessen the downtime. Despite the odors produced during the drying process, oil finish floors rank amongst the lowest for VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions. Certain brands even boast true zero VOC. This fact alone makes oil finished floors one of the best options for green building solutions.
“WOCA products are certified by independent laboratories, the German Institute for Biological Building Materials, and are in accordance with DIN–Norm 53–160. WOCA WoodCare Denmark products meet or exceed the most stringent U.S. standards for volatile organic compounds.” –WOCA Oil Finish Manufacture
Does this type of finish require additional maintenance which I am not familiar with?
For weekly cleaning, oiled floors use a special cleaner which contains an oil and soap mixture. After a period of 12-18 months some oil may evaporate causing the wood grains to appear dry. An additional layer of oil can be reapplied to keep the floor looking fresh. Although oil finished floors require more involvement in periodic maintenance in high traffic areas, this maintenance can be done much easier than the equivalent of an onsite sand and refinish.
WOCA Master Color Oil contains pigment, which provides a single-step hardwood floor staining process. Laying down the stain and the finish in one step.
This product comes 14 different colors, from Black to Extra White, and you can mix them freely to create various color palettes that will meet the demands of any job.

Laminates having pre-attached padding can also be installed over an underlayment. When doing so, Lumber Liquidators recommends the use of Bellawood Platinum, Bellawood Premium, Quiet Walk or the Eco Silent Sound underlayment. These quality underlayments offer best joint/seam support while ensuring superior thermal sound reduction qualities, these properties are highly recommended for use with condominium associations, project planners and building specifiers.

Leather Description: A fully drum dyed top grain cowhide on European raw material. This leather is lightly ironed and then milled extensively for a unique distressed appearance. This is a natural full grain leather. The hides have not been altered in any way during the tanning process. Shade variation is normal and areas of hides absorb dyes differently, so natural dye lot variations will occur. Remember that a swatch is a general representation of the leather's color and texture, not an exact match. Scars, marks, and branding are not flaws but rather are proof of authenticity, what we call "hallmarks of the trail". Leathers will fade if exposed to direct sunlight. This is a pull up leather which means color diffusion and "burst" will occur when worked by hand. If any of these characteristics is a problem please consider a "painted" leather. One that has been corrected and heavily pigmented.
Embossed Leather Description: A leather used to accent many of today's home interiors. The leather hide is first embossed with a large crocodile grain and then colored by applying two base color coats of micro pigments. The leather is then wiped-off to give it a contrast of colors utilizing the base color combination. This color contrast is further accented by two additional top coat colors that are wiped-on by hand to give the leather a beautiful antique look. The last step is to slightly protect the hand work of the leather hide with a lacquer topcoat that provides great depth and warmth to the finished product. 100% top grain cowhide leather is characterized by variations in shade, texture, color and grain. Healed marks and scars are to be expected and enhance the natural beauty of the hides. These variations should not be considered defects as they are normal and unique features of genuine 100% top grain cowhide leather.
Frame Construction: Made with American Alder Wood, our frames are glued, screwed and dowelled at the joints. Two coats of high quality stain is hand rubbed on the wood finish and then sealed with industrial grade clear coat.

An unfinished basement got the glam treatment with a full home theater on sliding panel, cute bar under the stairs, fully kitted out servery and laundry room. An elegant palette of taupe and white with hand made counter tops complete the look. Light floors and custom work make this space a refined entertainment room.

**I. Spatial Composition & Architectural Volume**
This is a pre-war Manhattan dining room whose proportions have been surgically clarified rather than reinvented. The room reads as a compressed rectilinear volume, its ceiling plane articulated by a shallow dropped soffit and a single exposed transverse beam — a candid acknowledgment of the building's structural grid, left legible rather than concealed behind a coved plaster surround. That beam performs a quiet spatial function: it registers the threshold between the dining zone and the adjoining passage at right, where a sliver of herringbone parquet and a second curtained aperture extend the sightline into a further room, relieving the enclosure and establishing a discreet enfilade. The composition is emphatically axial and symmetrical — chandelier, floral centerpiece, pedestal table and central window mullion align on a single spine — yet the symmetry is deliberately imperfect: the flanking chairs are turned inward on the diagonal, the sideboard weights the left wall, and the artwork on the right hangs off-axis. The result is a Beaux-Arts discipline softened by a decorator's asymmetry. Most consequential is the pelmet, a deep upholstered box valance carried nearly wall-to-wall, which annexes the window into a single monumental glazed field and visually raises the ceiling by drawing the eye above the actual head height of the sash.
**II. Materiality, Color & Texture**
The palette is a study in monochromatic warmth held within a narrow tonal band of buff, oatmeal, flax and champagne, with saturation kept deliberately low so that texture carries the burden of variety. Underfoot, a wall-to-wall seagrass or sisal matting with a coarse basketweave provides the room's tactile bass note — hard-wearing, faintly agricultural, and set in productive tension with the refined silk-and-linen sheen of the curtains and pelmet. The chairs are a masterstroke of dual upholstery: matte sand-toned fabric on the outside back and a subtle self-striped ottoman weave on the seat and inner face, a device that renders the seating both plush and graphic. Against this envelope of pale neutrals, two dark accents supply the necessary chromatic gravity: the deeply carved, pierced-apron rosewood or mahogany center table, almost Anglo-Indian in its fretwork and baluster pedestal, and the ebonized klismos-splayed chair legs that echo it. The left wall introduces a painted, dry-brushed Gustavian-style commode with lozenge-fretwork doors, its chalky grey-green a cool counterpoint, while gilt frames, a burnished picture light and the silvered chandelier thread a metallic warmth through the whole.
**III. Lighting, Atmosphere & Style Profile**
Daylight is the room's primary illuminant and it is handled with restraint: the curtains are dressed open but the roman-like sheer inner treatment diffuses the light into a milky, north-facing wash that flattens shadow and flatters the neutral surfaces. Artificial lighting is layered and entirely decorative in expression — the tall, attenuated candle-arm chandelier, hung low and generously scaled, functions as sculpture and as the room's compositional keystone, while two swing-arm brass picture lights provide directional accents that anchor the art as evening focal points. There is no visible downlighting or recessed apparatus; the mood is candlelit, hushed and faintly nocturnal even in daytime. Stylistically the room resolves into what might be termed **Refined Neutral Traditionalism** — an American-classical, Bilhuber-adjacent idiom that marries eighteenth-century Swedish and Anglo-colonial furniture archetypes with contemporary tailoring, tonal upholstery and humble natural-fiber flooring. Its sophistication lies precisely in that calibration: heirloom silhouettes stripped of pattern and color noise, so that carving, weave and gilding become the sole ornamental language.
