This top treatment is very tailored using a scalloped hemline that forms into a bell shape. The valance is contrast lined with a piping at the edge to add that custom look. The shade underneath is a Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shade to diminish the glare of the sun and give a filtered view.

This coffee station lacked organization, with tea and coffee pods crammed into a single drawer. Without any dividers, finding the right item was a hassle, and the lack of visual appeal diminished the overall aesthetic of the space.

Switching the position of the kitchen from a cramped galley space near the front door to a much bigger space adjacent to the back yard allowed for much more storage and counters space, an eating space in the kitchen and a great view. The space became a flow through type great room and now has a bonus office space with a double glass pocket door for sound protection without diminishing the light.

A waterfront view like in this 1988-built master bathroom is priceless, especially with the existing skylight. The bath was taken down to studs and rebuilt, removing a wall between the toilet/shower area and opening up the entire 140sqft space. Curbless shower, freestanding airjet tub, rainhead shower and porcelain tile and oil-rubbed bronze fixtures throughout. An additional intrigue was recessed lights in tub and shower areas that have option to turn on UV light after use to diminish bacteria.

Sustainable, eco-friendly, unique, and naturally beautiful wall paneling. Killed by the mountain pine beetle epidemic, these dead trees continue to rot in the forest. Availability diminishes every year, in the near future this beautiful wood will no longer be available. Get it now while supplies last.

. A classic and timeless design was achieved by using Carrera marble in the different tile shapes, and on the other surfaces, i.e. the sink, tub skirt and baseboards, thus diminishing the length of the room and creating a cohesive and inviting bathroom. The home owner was very happy with the completed project, and proud to share it with her guests. Mary Broerman, CCIDC

Inspiration for a coastal formal and enclosed dark wood floor and brown floor living room remodel in Miami with beige walls, a standard fireplace, a stone fireplace and no tv

Mid-Century Remodel on Tabor Hill This sensitively sited house was designed by Robert Coolidge, a renowned architect and grandson of President Calvin Coolidge. The house features a symmetrical gable roof and beautiful floor to ceiling glass facing due south, smartly oriented for passive solar heating. Situated on a steep lot, the house is primarily a single story that steps down to a family room. This lower level opens to a New England exterior. Our goals for this project were to maintain the integrity of the original design while creating more modern spaces. Our design team worked to envision what Coolidge himself might have designed if he'd had access to modern materials and fixtures. With the aim of creating a signature space that ties together the living, dining, and kitchen areas, we designed a variation on the 1950's "floating kitchen." In this inviting assembly, the kitchen is located away from exterior walls, which allows views from the floor-to-ceiling glass to remain uninterrupted by cabinetry. We updated rooms throughout the house; installing modern features that pay homage to the fine, sleek lines of the original design. Finally, we opened the family room to a terrace featuring a fire pit. Since a hallmark of our design is the diminishment of the hard line between interior and exterior, we were especially pleased for the opportunity to update this classic work.
