The challenge of this property is its position relative to the road (see photo of house under construction). Landscape plantings are used to draw attention to the house and away from the slope coming off the road immediately in front of it. The slope is softened by plantings. Every effort is made to draw attention to the hard won flat lawn.

We can't say enough how window treatments can transform a space. Customizing to the room's unique elements is important to maximize your room's full potential. In this dining room, we draw attention to the ceiling structure and wood beam design by custom making the treatments on an angle. Rotating the square medallions also reiterates the angled ceiling so that the eye naturally rests on the architectural details. The adjacent Living Room continues the timeless pattern with floor to ceiling treatments, drawing attention to the ceiling height and crown molding details. Not only do these treatments help to absorb sound (making for a more intimate setting), they also navigate the eye to the home's character and view while acting as a stunning focal. Megan Kranz

This transitional style kitchen incorporates a load-bearing beam into the design of the island. The island is large and serves as a breakfast area, as well as housing for a dishwasher. The openness of the space allows for social gatherings and family friendliness. The dark flooring works well with the lighter walls and counter-top to create visual appeal through contrast. The hanging glass lights provide not only the functionality of lighting the area but also elevate the room by adding layers to it. They also draw attention to the center of the room and create a focal point around the island that draw attention to keep the room open and keep all inhabitants connected.

Repurposed beams, matching the home's original timber frame, and a tongue and groove ceiling add texture and a rustic aesthetic to the remodeled greeting room. These details draw visitors' attention upward, and the vaulted ceiling makes the room feel spacious. It also has a rebuilt gas fireplace and existing slate floor. The greeting room is a balanced mix of rustic and refined details, complementing the home's character. Photo Credit: David Bader Interior Design Partner: Becky Howley

The design of this powder room conceals the existing shape of the space and draws attention away from its dual purpose of a laundry room. In order to hide the laundry machines and the original floor plan, a custom cabinetry solution and horizontal wood paneling in a dark grey tone is used to visually recede and blend the appliances into the background.

Heucherella Pumpkin Spice used as entrance plant on both ends of the walkway, Star Magnolia visually separates the driveway space from the intimate space; limestone sundial was gift from parents.
