Clean, fresh and bright! Love it. We kept the window treatments opened to showcase the pretty backyard as a backdrop. We downsized the furniture in the dining area and staged it with some fun props.

A cozy cabin ideal for a weekend getaway or those wanting to downsize. The Laurel Point II has a 28’ front porch that offers lots of space for enjoying a rocker or porch swing.

The option to downsize was not an option for the empty nesters who have lived in this home for over twenty-five years. Situated in TMR, the sprawling home has been the venue for many social events, dinner parties and family celebrations. With grown children living abroad, and grand children on the way, it was important that the new kitchen be highly functional and conducive to hosting informal, yet large family gatherings. The kitchen had been relocated to the garage in the late eighties during a large renovation and was looking tired. Eight foot concrete ceilings meant the new materials and design had to create the illusion of height and light. White lacquered doors and integrated fridge panels extend to the ceiling and cast a bright reflection into the room. The teak dining table and chairs were the only elements to preserve from the old kitchen, and influenced the direction of materials to be incorporated into the new design. The island and selected lower cabinetry are made of butternut and oiled in a matte finish that relates to the teak dining set. Oversized tiles on the heated floors resemble soft concrete. The mandate for the second floor included the overhaul of the master ensuite, to create his and hers closets, and a library. Walls were relocated and the floor plan reconfigured to create a luxurious ensuite of dramatic proportions. A walk-in shower, partitioned toilet area, and 18’ vanity are among many details that add visual interest and comfort. Minimal white oak panels wrap around from the bedroom into the ensuite, and integrate two full-height pocket doors in the same material.

THE SETUP Once these empty nest homeowners decided to stay put, they knew a new kitchen was in order. Passionate about cooking, entertaining, and hosting holiday gatherings, they found their existing kitchen inadequate. The space, with its traditional style and outdated layout, was far from ideal. They longed for an elegant, timeless kitchen that was not only show-stopping but also functional, seamlessly catering to both their daily routines and special occasions with friends and family. Another key factor was its future appeal to potential buyers, as they’re ready to enjoy their new kitchen while also considering downsizing in the future.

Master bedroom. This bed was completely reupholstered and redesigned. We altered the height, removed the bun feet, and cleaned up the lines of the headboard. Chrome nail heads add a little accent. A retiring couple decided to downsize and move into this condominium in Winnetka. We decided to remove as many walls as possible within the Associations limits to bring as much light into this open plan.

Master bedroom with custom built-in TV wall and maximal storage. Designed with thoughtful consideration for a couple that having recently downsized still requires smart storage for their lifestyle and hobbies.

The foyer created a positive first impression while highlighting key assets of the home. We removed a large area rug to show off the gorgeous hardwoods and stately banister. The view into the living room was made possible . . .
