The delicately swirled, stone mosaic accent wall is an artistic element that contrasts with the tailored, transitional cabinets in gray and cream guest bathroom. A trio of glass and metal wall sconces flank the mirrors. I opted for a pair of integrated sinks for a sleek profile on the countertop that doesn't distract for the focal wall.

WOW! This turned out to be an extremely powerful kitchen renovation project. This client was the most easy-going guy and a craftsman himself at that. I knew then, though, he wouldn't settle for something simple. He came in and explained he had been looking for a back splash but had this really dramatic island counter top to work around. We decided on a long, creamy subway tile with a crackle finish for the main field but he wanted an accent to jazz that up. We tried an iridescent glass that looked amazing in the showroom with everything, but almost took on too much blue/green at home in his lighting. After tweaking it a bit, we decided on a matte hand painted ivory stone hexagon in the frame. We added an inset of 1X1 gloss glass accents around the hexagons to bring out some color. Never a bad idea to to mix finishes! We couldn't go too over the top, again, because of the island, but this delicate stone brings in enough interest without being distracting. I think the stone keeps the style of the kitchen more in that traditional/transitional phase, where the specific glass we started with might've been a little too modern. It's definitely an updated look, and it's fabulous. The colors in the frame worked wonderfully with the island and I think that ties everything back around. Overall, I'd say this project had a timeless and elegant feel, but also includes unique touches that add a little something different. Beautiful!

Designer chose classic black and white as dominating colors, and the result looks powerful. We can safely say that no references, sketches or words can capture the impact and sense of focus it creates. Except for some refreshing greenery, there are no pops of bright colors or useless details to distract its owner from his work. “I’m all business and effectiveness”, – the space says to the visitors. In a nutshell, it is visually pleasing and inspires respect.

Fashioned after vintage inspired lighting Globe Electric's Elior 1-Light Pendant adds a rustic industrial feel to any space. The cage shade showcases the bulb of your choice to create a beautiful silhouette. Add a vintage Edison bulb for a perfect finishing touch. Ideal for use in kitchens, restaurants, bars, and dining rooms - the exposed bulb in this fixture delivers the perfect look. Includes all mounting hardware for quick and easy installation and requires one medium base 60W light bulb (sold separately).

Gorgeous wall tile in the shower is the focal point of this bathroom. Farmhouse-style sliding glass doors above a curb eliminate the need for lower tracks, which are notoriously difficult to clean and visually distracting. A black-framed electric mirror and black hardware tie the elements together. No light fixture is necessary over the vanity, creating a streamlined, modern look.

This custom paneled fridge allows your eye to not be distracted by appliances, and keeps you focused on the overall kitchen design.

Children’s waiting room interior design project at Princeton University. I was beyond thrilled when contacted by a team of scientists ( psychologists and neurologists ) at Princeton University. This group of professors and graduate students from the Turk-Brown Laboratory are conducting research on the infant’s brain by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (or fMRI), to see how they learn, remember and think. My job was to turn a tiny 7’x10′ windowless study room into an inviting but not too “clinical” waiting room for the mothers or fathers and siblings of the babies being studied.
We needed to ensure a comfortable place for parents to rock and feed their babies while waiting their turn to go back to the laboratory, as well as a place to change the babies if needed. We wanted to stock some shelves with good books and while the room looks complete, we’re still sourcing something interactive to mount to the wall to help entertain toddlers who want something more active than reading or building blocks.
Since there are no windows, I wanted to bring the outdoors inside. Princeton University‘s colors are orange, gray and black and the history behind those colors is very interesting. It seems there are a lot of squirrels on campus and these colors were selected for the three colors of squirrels often seem scampering around the university grounds. The orange squirrels are now extinct, but the gray and black squirrels are abundant, as I found when touring the campus with my son on installation day. Therefore we wanted to reflect this history in the room and decided to paint silhouettes of squirrels in these three colors throughout the room.
While the ceilings are 10′ high in this tiny room, they’re very drab and boring. Given that it’s a drop ceiling, we can’t paint it a fun color as I typically do in my nurseries and kids’ rooms. To distract from the ugly ceiling, I contacted My Custom Creation through their Etsy shop and commissioned them to create a custom butterfly mobile to suspend from the ceiling to create a swath of butterflies moving across the room. Their customer service was impeccable and the end product was exactly what we wanted!
The flooring in the space was simply coated concrete so I decided to use Flor carpet tiles to give it warmth and a grass-like appeal. These tiles are super easy to install and can easily be removed without any residual on the floor. I’ll be using them more often for sure!

A refined game room designed with quiet elegance, where subtle tones of warm brown and soft white create a calm, sophisticated atmosphere. The space is intentionally understated, allowing the design details and craftsmanship to speak for themselves.
At the center, a beautifully finished foosball table is seamlessly integrated into the room, acting as both a playful feature and a sculptural design element. Its clean lines and natural materials complement the overall palette, ensuring it feels cohesive rather than dominant.
Soft lighting enhances the warm neutrals throughout the space, highlighting textured finishes and creating a welcoming glow without distraction. Thoughtfully selected seating offers comfort while maintaining a tailored aesthetic, making the room equally suited for relaxed entertainment and quiet conversation.
The result is an elegant, design-forward game room where leisure feels elevated and every detail is intentionally composed.

For this project the house itself and the garage are the only original features on the property. In the front yard we created massive curb appeal by adding a new brick driveway, framed by lighted brick columns, with an offset parking space. A brick retaining wall and walkway lead visitors to the front door, while a low brick wall and crisp white pergola enhance a previous underutilized patio. Landscaping, sod, and lighting frame the house without distracting from its character.
In the back yard the driveway leads to an updated garage which received a new brick floor and air conditioning. The back of the house changed drastically with the seamless addition of a covered patio framed on one side by a trellis with inset stained glass opposite a brick fireplace. The live-edge cypress mantel provides the perfect place for decor. The travertine patio steps down to a rectangular pool, which features a swim jet and linear glass waterline tile. Again, the space includes all new landscaping, sod, and lighting to extend enjoyment of the space after dusk.

2020 has thrown a lot at us. One of the biggest challenges for parents and their kids has been adjusting to at-home learning.
Learning in high-traffic areas like the kitchen, living room, and dining room can be too distracting for kids. With families spending so much time indoors right now, the abundance of background noise from things like meal preparation, ringing phones, and conversations makes it particularly challenging for youngsters to focus on their studies.
We can turn any garage into a learning-friendly space without limiting its functionality.

Previously, this yard was burdened by a typical boulder pile pool, that was heaped higher than typical, trying to hide the towering wall behind. At first, the clients sought merely to reconfigure the BBQ that was congesting the patio, but upon further analysis, they decided it was time to strip the entire yard, leaving only the pool shell. Bianchi’s solution introduced an array of four arbors to distract the eye from the wall behind, solving what the boulder waterfall could never do.
Additionally, the wall was painted a dark earth tone to add contrast and depth. This strategy enabled the wall to recede into the distance, while the agave blue grey arbors floated forward visually from the background. Previously, the patios were a hodgepodge of deck islands that were impossible to navigate, and were of insufficient size to arrange furniture on. A well organized patio streamlined the traffic flow and the living space, featuring a cast in place concrete fire pit and banco couch, as well as a new outdoor bistro, glowing with filtered light from the canvas shade sails overhead.
A turquoise glass overflow spa became the yards focal point, sharing the space between the pool and outdoor living. The striking symmetry of the spa and pot pedestal with regal cacti arrangement behind, flanked by the arbors on either side, created a stately first impression from the front door. This teaser was just a glimpse of what could not yet be seen serving as an invitation to explore and enjoy as the yard unfolds.
