Contemporary Parisian style artwork in a bedroom setting.
Example of a minimalist bedroom design in Los Angeles

This 3 BR, 3 1/2 bath home allows the owners to live on one level most of the time. The Master Suite is on the main level along with the Living Room, Kitchen, Dining, pantries, Sun Room and service areas. The upper level houses two ample bedrooms while the lower level supports a rec center, media room, wine cellar, shop and full wet bar. Conceived as a Great Room house, the main level is designed as one seamless space that flows onto an ample deck overlooking the rear yard. We also incorporated a variety of green building techniques - photo-voltaic shingles on the roof of the garage to generate a portion of the home's energy, a super insulated building envelope, rain water harvesting, high performance windows and doors, a high efficiency heat pump, low flow bath & kitchen fixtures, Energy Star appliances and LED lighting - that greatly reduced this structure's carbon footprint. All of the strategies amounted to a 30% reduction in the energy consumption in this home relative to comparable structures.

Moody, Collected & Completely Intentional — Interior Design Refresh | Raleigh, NC Sometimes the right home just needs the right vision applied to it. This project was a layered interior design refresh — no full gut renovation, just a thoughtful, room-by-room transformation using color, pattern, custom window treatments, art, and furniture curation to bring serious personality to a home that already had great bones. The entry sets the tone immediately. A bold blue painted front door opens into a two-story foyer with warm hardwood floors, an iron orb chandelier, and original arched windows that flood the space with natural light. The art on the staircase wall signals right away that this home has a point of view. The formal living room is the project's crown jewel. A deep navy accent wall rises to the cathedral ceiling, anchored by a dramatic large-scale gold and silver metal wall sculpture above the fireplace. A custom blue and white geometric Roman shade — fitted to the arched window — is one of the most striking window treatment solutions in the project. Dark marble tile surrounds the fireplace insert, and a cognac leather chair with matching ottoman completes the sitting area with warmth and depth. The family room goes fully moody. Near-black charcoal walls meet an accent wall wrapped in a bold blue and white ikat-style wallpaper. Paired silver metallic sculptural wall pieces bring texture and light to the wallpaper wall, while a large abstract landscape canvas grounds the dark accent wall opposite. Custom pinch-pleat drapes in a tonal geometric diamond weave frame the windows, and an antique trunk serves as the coffee table — grounding the room in something real and collected. The kitchen's existing cream and glaze cabinetry, warm granite countertops, travertine backsplash with decorative mosaic detailing, and cherry wood island were honored and styled without alteration — proof that great design doesn't always require demolition.

This spacious home in the foothills of Northwest Corvallis is an absolute beauty! Remodeling the kitchen and laundry room greatly expanded the possibilities for storage and organization and created an entirely fresh appeal. The ceilings throughout the home had been paneled with warm, gorgeous wood. To build on that detail, we incorporated hints of wood in the new design at the range hood, sink cabinetry, desktop, and open shelving. There was also existing tile flooring that the homeowner wanted to keep, so light, neutral cabinetry was the perfect complement to the wood and tile, brightening the entire space. The two-tiered wrap around peninsula offers an abundance of room for guests to sit and eat or visit with those in the kitchen. It also serves to delineate the kitchen from the living area. Although the kitchen’s footprint wasn’t altered, we did move the stove to the back wall. This change optimized functionality and set a dramatic focal point. The professional-style, six-burner gas range is sure to be a high-performer when cooking any meal. On special occasions when numerous dishes are on the menu, the convection microwave will come in handy, operating as a second oven or a microwave. The under-counter dish drawers provide efficient storage and eliminate the need for pulling serving pieces down from an overhead cabinet. A custom pegboard organizer holds each dish securely in place to prevent shifting when the drawer is opened and closed. Conveniently located near the dishwasher, it makes unloading a breeze! Open shelving provides additional room to keep items close at hand and adds to the cottage feel. These homeowners have chosen to shelve small appliances in their newly remodeled laundry room that’s directly off the kitchen. In this way, it serves as a second “pantry.” Adjacent to the kitchen, there is now a beautiful workspace. Its glass upper cabinets are a fantastic place to display pottery, dishware, and cookbooks. We borrowed a few inches on the end of a bordering kitchen cabinet to construct a message center and mail sorting console. What a clever way to create a spot for pending paperwork while keeping it tucked behind the cabinet doors.
