When looking for a durable countertop with the look and feel of marble, Quartzite is a great and durable alternative. Here we used White Macaubus Quartzite which lended a beautiful, cool and modern look to this gorgeous coastal inspired renovation.

We expanded an existing deck with new stairs, railing, decking, deck board design, lighting, complete with all post and beam wraps. All decking you see is Zuri decking with Timbertech Rail Systems. We installed riser lights up the stairs with post caps on top of all posts.

On this project the client was looking for a very durable and cleanable easy to maintain product. Because of the very high traffic and staining possibilities we selected a woven Wilton olefin yarnflat weave and added a custom wide binding made of microfiber which highlights the black lines in the carpeting. Not only did they get the clean ability and durability they wanted they also added a very fashionable natural woven look.

Dennis Mayer photographed our 7" wide plank Hickory floor in Cupertino, California. A custom finish was applied including hand scraping and distressing. This is an incredibly durable UV applied finish.

Originally built to house a garage, workshop and wood storage, this simple structure has been gently re-imagined into a unique guesthouse with a rustic accents and modern comforts.
The exterior retains the classic barn appearance, with the addition of carefully placed windows and industrial-looking Corten steel siding. The introduction of a large dormer to the center of the structure was a simple move, but provided multiple functions:
• breaks up the 8’-0” ceiling on the main floor, letting in additional daylight and providing visual relief to the otherwise low ceiling
• creates circulation space with the rustic steel stair and bridge
• utilizes reclaimed wood siding on the ceiling and walls, contrasting with white drywall and clean bright finishes
• visually connects the two upstairs bedrooms with the main floor
The focus of the interior was to preserve and accentuate the barn features as much as possible, and have a warm and cozy, energy efficient guest house. Programming included two bedrooms, two bathrooms, dining area, farmhouse kitchen and pantry, living room and laundry room.
Materials and furnishes were selected to create a clean, comfortable and inviting interior with a rustic edge. The exposed steel beam was left unfinished showing its existing wear and tear, and the new steel stair was left raw to eventually age and match the beam. Durable and economical oak floors were used throughout. Traditional subway tile and penny rounds contrast with the modern, clean lines of the kitchen and bathrooms. A custom sliding barn door adds texture to the kitchen and closes off the pantry and laundry room from the space. Furniture was a mix of new and existing, which makes the spaces both familiar and comfortable.
All in all, there is a timeless look to the end product; a traditional farmstead structure has definitely been giving a great new lease on life.

“With the open-concept floor plan, this kitchen needed to have a galley layout,” Ellison says. A large island helps delineate the kitchen from the other rooms around it. These include a dining area directly behind the kitchen and a living room to the right of the dining room. This main floor also includes a small TV lounge, a powder room and a mudroom. The house sits on a slope, so this main level enjoys treehouse-like canopy views out the back. The bedrooms are on the walk-out lower level.“These homeowners liked grays and neutrals, and their style leaned contemporary,” Ellison says. “They also had a very nice art collection.” The artwork is bright and colorful, and a neutral scheme provided the perfect backdrop for it.
They also liked the idea of using durable laminate finishes on the cabinetry. The laminates have the look of white oak with vertical graining. The galley cabinets are lighter and warmer, while the island has the look of white oak with a gray wash for contrast. The countertops and backsplash are polished quartzite. The quartzite adds beautiful natural veining patterns and warm tones to the room.
