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!

A beautiful wall of walnut cabinetry with a modern fireplace creates a stunning focal point for this open concept room. The furnishings in this unit are very transitional, as the couple downsized from a traditional 1920's Tudor home to this modern space and embraced their new living style with grace. Incredible rugs, custom pillows, textural fabrics and fun accessories compliment the simple architectural style of the space.

A view of the den from the kitchen. We opted to go with a deep, moody blue wall color to offset the light built-in cabinets in this space and the pale grey cabinets in the kitchen space.

Located in the Casa Loma area of Toronto, these loft conversions used to be an old Toronto Hydro Building. Our client had downsized from a traditional four-bedroom home. Our mission was to make these 12' ceilings feel homey and maintain a more contemporary design than her previous home. We painted, wallpapered, draped, added beautiful lighting, and furnished the new home for her and her family. Mission accomplished!

Inspiration for a small transitional gender-neutral reach-in closet remodel in San Francisco

Architect: Elizabeth Herrmann
Photos: Susan Teare
This 1100 sf 3-bedroom cottage in the Mad River valley was designed by architect Elizabeth Herrmann for a family of four who dreamed of downsizing and reducing energy consumption. Sited on an east-facing slope with view over the Mad River, the little black house features a standing seam roof, triple-glazed windows from Alpen, and a high-performing insulation package. A small Morso woodstove provides heat in the winter. A single Mitsubishi heat pump provides cooling in the summer and backup heat in the winter. Water is heat by an electric heat pump water heater.

AFTER! A small closet requires thoughtful planning and a few key organizational tools like slim-line hangers and baskets to act as "drawers". This client was able to skip a major renovation!

Looking to downsize but still wanting room for their 7 grandchildren, the homeowners transformed this frumpy, sixties- style ranch into a fabulous, family-friendly retreat!! A breezeway and garage foundation was poured and framing of the addition began. A living room addition and double gabled roof line was added for architectural interest. Energy efficient, tilt-in Harvey windows were installed throughout. A new architectural shingle roof was installed on the entire house. The transformation is complete!

After downsizing from a large Mediterranean style home, an open and airy condo appealed to this client. We created an inviting space by incorporating a light and fresh palette with wallpapers, fabrics, and furniture.

A clinic in downsizing, this condo is filled with pieces and art that were carefully selected, sentimental and one of a kind. The renovation was intended to stand the test of time, functionally and aesthetically. Having relocated from a much larger property, the client wanted a space that resonated with the urban beauty of Portland's West End. Photos by Erin Little.
