This classic switchback stair is distinguished by a unique feature: a double landing that creates moments to pause and take in the view. Painted risers highlight each step, while white oak treads bring a sense of warmth and natural texture. Simple white oak newels anchor the handrail, and vertical metal balusters introduce a contemporary rhythm. The result is a staircase that feels both distinctive and timeless, thoughtfully designed to balance function with refined detail. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

Resort-Style Backyard Oasis: Modern Farmhouse Meets Five-Star Outdoor Living This extraordinary backyard transformation turns a sprawling wooded property into a private resort that rivals the finest luxury hotels — a complete outdoor living destination where every detail has been considered and every zone invites you to slow down, gather, and stay a while. The centerpiece is a breathtaking freeform pool of impressive scale, its organic, curvilinear shape designed to feel as though it was carved naturally from the landscape rather than constructed within it. The pool's deep, jewel-toned water — achieved through a rich dark mosaic tile waterline and a dark plaster finish — creates an almost lagoon-like quality that shifts from teal to deep blue depending on the light and angle. In-pool sun shelf loungers sit at the water's edge, allowing guests to lounge half-submerged on warm days, while a separate built-in spa nestled at one end completes the aquatic experience. The pool's surround is equally impressive. A generous travertine patio wraps the full perimeter of the pool in warm cream and honey tones, providing abundant space for multiple entertainment zones to coexist without ever feeling crowded. A sweeping row of premium chaise lounges with crisp white cushions lines one side of the pool, shaded by a series of elegant teak-framed market umbrellas that bring a Riviera-resort sensibility to the suburban backyard. The stone hardscape tells a particularly rich material story. Dry-stacked natural stone retaining walls curve generously around the lower elevation of the pool, their warm amber, rust, and gray tones echoing the travertine patio above and connecting the pool structure organically to the sloped terrain. Stone steps with flagstone treads descend gracefully between levels, and large natural boulders are thoughtfully placed throughout the landscaping — giving the entire environment the feeling of a discovered natural water feature rather than a constructed pool. A dedicated outdoor living room sits on the patio, anchored by a woven-rope lounge chair and a coordinating sofa with generous cream cushions, gathered around a sculptural concrete pedestal side table. The furniture selection — organic, tactile, and resort-caliber — creates a seating area that feels as comfortable and considered as any indoor living room, with the forest canopy serving as a natural ceiling above. Around the corner, a separate fire pit terrace provides a second distinct outdoor destination. A massive circular stone fire pit — built from the same dry-stacked natural stone as the retaining walls — sits at the center of a gathering space ringed by weathered teak Adirondack-style chairs with white cushions. This zone feels intentionally removed from the pool's energy, offering a quieter, more intimate space for evening gatherings and cooler nights. The house itself — a stunning modern farmhouse with white board-and-batten siding, exposed timber gable trusses, black-framed windows, and a covered back porch with timber posts — anchors the entire composition. The architecture and the landscape speak the same language: natural materials, clean lines, and an effortless relationship between indoor and outdoor living. A separate carriage house or garage structure in matching architectural style rounds out the property's exterior.

This newly constructed home was in need of an outdoor living space and streetscape in a matching contemporary Northwest style. Our studio composed a landscape with an improved entry sequence, balancing the need for personal privacy alongside a distinctive public face. A courtyard oasis with a new deck is enclosed by warm wooden fencing set on top of the contrasting raw texture of a gabion retaining wall that acts as a backdrop to bold streetscape plantings.

Can a home be both spacious and cozy? This contemporary residence renovation and addition can host large parties with its multi-level entertainment areas linked to the outdoor decks, yet it is also intimate and comfortable for a party of two. The secret lies in visually linking many functionally distinct areas together, from the great room to the dedicated bar area to the gourmet kitchen, to the music loft and more.

This rustic bathroom design in DeWitt combines a variety of textures to create a bathroom with a one-of-a-kind look and feel. The custom tiled shower incorporates ceramic tiles in several distinct textures and colors, all in a neutral color palette, that offers a soothing, natural environment. A Westshore custom-made shower door fits the space perfectly, and the frameless glass enclosure offers a clear view of the stunning shower floor with matching tile features in the two storage niches. A Diamond Vibe by MasterBrand vanity cabinet in natural Hickory is beautifully complemented by an Americast vanity countertop with integrated sink and textured cabinet hardware. A handy linen closet is concealed by a rustic sliding door, and a ceramic tile wood effect floor pulls together the color scheme. The overall effect is a relaxing and stylish master bathroom design.

When our clients purchased their Fairfax Station home at the beginning of the pandemic, the main living areas had already been updated. However, three bathrooms were still stuck in the1980s. We tackled the upstairs primary and hall bathrooms first to ensure our clients had a working bathroom while construction was underway. Once the upstairs renovations were completed, we moved on to the main level guest bathroom. Primary Bathroom Transformation: The old primary bathroom had a small dark shower stall, a basic alcove tub, and the original 40-year-old plumbing, vanities, and tile. We completely gutted the space and made some minor layout changes to maximize functionality and create a serene retreat complete with free-standing soaking tub and generous walk-in shower. Expanding the shower’s footprint and replacing the full-height walls with a glass surround opened up the space, making the entire bathroom feel larger and more airy. Marble shelves and a shaving ledge add convenience and style. A large double vanity provides ample storage and a full 7 feet of countertop space. Mixed metal finishes elevate the design, with soft gold accents and brushed nickel fixtures pairing perfectly with the classic gray vanity and muted marble tiles. We reconfigured the dressing area, added custom closet built-ins, and installed new carpet throughout to complete this tailored transformation. Hall Bathroom Update: The hall bathroom did not require any significant layout changes, but the dated fixtures and finishes all had to go. We wanted the new bathroom to feel both classic and fresh, so we opted for a polished finish palette, including sleek white subway tiles on the walls and marble-look hexagonal on the floor. A furniture-style vanity, in dark navy, was paired with a distinctive Carrara marble top and sleek chrome fixtures for a modern twist. The tub+shower combo features both a standard shower head and multi-function handheld for optimum flexibility – great for bathing children and pets alike. This renovation blended classic details with modern functionality, creating a bathroom that’s both timeless and fresh. Guest Bathroom Update: The home’s main level bathroom serves as both powder room and guest bathroom with 2 separate entrances. The in-swing door from the guest bedroom made the already narrow bathroom feel even more cramped. By installing a pocket door at the guest bedroom, we immediately improved the flow and usability of the space. The shower was upgraded with handcrafted white subway tile and contrasting grout, creating a clean, tailored look that elevates the room. Thoughtful details—like discreet grab bars and a handheld shower on a slide bar—make the space adaptable and comfortable for guests of all ages. A marble mosaic floor sets a refined backdrop for the freestanding black vanity, while the cross-bar handles offer a nod to the past on these modern-day fixtures.

Garth & Stephanie wanted their guest bathroom to reflect the same updated style and functionality. The goal was to take the dated finishes out and bring in materials that would make the room feel brighter and more inviting for family and visitors. The bathtub was kept, but everything around it was rebuilt. The new shower walls were finished with Bedrosians Marin Pearl White tile. A bold accent band was introduced with Tilebar’s Suki Green Fishscale mosaic, carried through the recessed niche for a distinctive focal point. Plumbing fixtures were upgraded to match the selections in the primary bathroom, ensuring consistency throughout the home. A sliding glass shower door replaced the shower curtain, and a brushed nickel grab bar was added for safety. The vanity carries over the same cabinetry, quartz countertop, and faucet style as the primary bathroom, creating a cohesive look between the two spaces. A new storage mirror and matching floating shelves were installed, along with a light fixture similar to the one in the primary bath, maintaining a balanced design theme. The guest bathroom now feels fresh, functional, and closely connected to the primary bathroom. Guests now enjoy a stylish space that complements the overall design vision achieved in the remodel.

For this East Nashville renovation, the client wanted to maximize her space and create a home that would meet her long-term needs, as the original layout was too small. We built a luxurious master suite addition that seamlessly matches the existing hardwood flooring. The suite includes a thoughtfully designed laundry area across from an expansive walk-in closet adorned with a chandelier. The master bathroom combines timeless charm with functionality, featuring vintage fixtures on the vanity, a freestanding clawfoot tub, and a walk-in shower with unique tile work, including a custom shower niche and a distinctive "toe niche" designed for added convenience while shaving. The renovation also showcases custom cabinetry design, modern storage solutions, and luxurious bathroom elements, blending clean lines with classic style. As East Nashville renovation experts, we specialize in custom construction, luxury homes, eco-friendly designs, and custom millwork. From high-end bathroom renovations to bespoke design-build projects, we deliver exceptional craftsmanship and innovative solutions to elevate any home. Photography: TNhometour.com

We recently enjoyed the opportunity to remodel three floors of a nineteenth-century Cambridge home with our project partners, architect Tom Downer and designer Jayme Kennerknecht/LDa Architects. . • The owners – a family of four that includes both a teenager and a toddler - wanted a house better suited to entertaining but also appropriate for family together time. Specific improvements on their wish list included a playroom that could handle differing family needs, a custom bar for entertaining, a new fireplace, and an inviting kitchen that would remain distinct but be better connected to adjoining rooms. • Adding a fireplace to the living room involved rebuilding the entire back wall of the home. The fireplace mantel was custom designed to match an existing mantel in the nearby dining room, which is original to the home. • In the playroom, care was taken to create zones for three members of the family: The mother enjoys crafting and now has a station directly below existing skylights, the teenager has a semi-private nook at the back of the space for relaxing, and the youngest in the family can enjoy toys and games placed along one wall alongside a rug for playing on the floor. On the same level, we created a separate guest bedroom with a new closet and a window designed to match other windows throughout the home. • The kitchen is fully upgraded and custom designed to accommodate the mother’s cooking habits, with specific elements including a farmer’s sink in the island and a stainless steel counter with an integrated sink for food preparation placed behind it on the counter. To improve storage in the much-used room, corner drawer units were installed instead of lazy Susan cabinets. Also, the homeowners were not interested in an open floor plan, but did want to improve access to the living room and yard beyond. This was achieved by expanding the opening between the two rooms allowing the cook to engage with family and guests and have a clear view when children are playing in the yard.

Door style: Horizon | Species: Red Oak SG | Finish: Coffee Island: Red Oak Driftwood Slab door styles are most often associated with modernist or contemporary settings. But this homeowner had a distinct vision for an eclectic theme that combines sleek with comfortable. The historic flavor of the pulls and handles is an example of this "shabby chic" melding of genres. Note also that base cabinets do not follow the more-common mode of upper drawers, with lower doors. The designer opted for either all-doors, or all-drawers on base cabinets, adding still more individuality to the room.
