AFTER! This craft and activity space needed a deep purge of old craft kits and completed projects and a fresh layout to accommodate the kids' ever-changing interests.

Downsizing. It is an idealistic word for anyone that has more space than they need. It means less cleaning and maintenance costs, access to more culturally rich areas and a shrinking carbon footprint. What is one demographic that has been at the forefront of downsizing? Empty nesters. Visualizing how to actually taking the step to make this change is not easy for everyone, however. Some people have reservations: Where will kids and grandkids stay when they visit? Where can I have my own space to escape to? What about the home office? Taylor Morrison and Hanley Wood teamed up to create the NEXTadventure Home in Orlando, Florida. They set out to answer those questions and ease those doubts. The home features a flex room with transforming furniture. The Giro desk swings out to provide a work surface. The Nuovoliola wall bed provides a sofa during the day and a bed at night. The space also uses plenty of shelving to stay organized.

Clients wanted a clean, contemporary and intimate space with unique curved lines. We intentionally downsized the gas fireplace to not dominate the space or the view. Maverick Pickering

Feature in: Luxe Magazine Miami & South Florida Luxury Magazine If visitors to Robyn and Allan Webb’s one-bedroom Miami apartment expect the typical all-white Miami aesthetic, they’ll be pleasantly surprised upon stepping inside. There, bold theatrical colors, like a black textured wallcovering and bright teal sofa, mix with funky patterns, such as a black-and-white striped chair, to create a space that exudes charm. In fact, it’s the wife’s style that initially inspired the design for the home on the 20th floor of a Brickell Key high-rise. “As soon as I saw her with a green leather jacket draped across her shoulders, I knew we would be doing something chic that was nothing like the typical all- white modern Miami aesthetic,” says designer Maite Granda of Robyn’s ensemble the first time they met. The Webbs, who often vacation in Paris, also had a clear vision for their new Miami digs: They wanted it to exude their own modern interpretation of French decor. “We wanted a home that was luxurious and beautiful,” says Robyn, noting they were downsizing from a four-story residence in Alexandria, Virginia. “But it also had to be functional.” To read more visit: https: https://maitegranda.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/LX_MIA18_HOM_MaiteGranda_10.pdf

This project is new construction. The client downsized from a large home in Leawood KS. For their new home they requested a neutral palette for all their furnishing and furniture that was comfortable, worked well with dogs and grandchildren. It was important that the style of the home and the furnishings not be to trendy but be classic in styling and age well with time. This home reflects many different layers of interesting material selections, including the mirrored back splash in the Kitchen and the marble accents in the bathroom, stunning high end furniture, fabrics, area rugs and drapery. The clients love their new home as do their 2 cockier spaniel pups!

This kitchen was a huge change from the original - we were able to move to a much more open concept by removing several walls, a column, and adding a large support beam in the ceiling. The result is striking!
