We design sliding shutters from our best-selling plantation shutters: Polywood. Not only do these shutters last more than 50 years, but they're also excellent at blocking the effects of weather conditions to save you money on your energy bills. And the louvers can be easily tilted open to let in as much light as you want. We offer these shutters for sliding glass doors in two configurations based on the space you have available. Bypass configuration works well in rooms where there isn't space to spare on either side of the sliding glass doors. In the bifold configuration, both sets of shutter panels fold out from the center and move to the side, thanks to a top-mounted track.

This dark, dreary kitchen was large, but not being used well. The family of 7 had outgrown the limited storage and experienced traffic bottlenecks when in the kitchen together. A bright, cheerful and more functional kitchen was desired, as well as a new pantry space. We gutted the kitchen and closed off the landing through the door to the garage to create a new pantry. A frosted glass pocket door eliminates door swing issues. In the pantry, a small access door opens to the garage so groceries can be loaded easily. Grey wood-look tile was laid everywhere. We replaced the small window and added a 6’x4’ window, instantly adding tons of natural light. A modern motorized sheer roller shade helps control early morning glare. Three free-floating shelves are to the right of the window for favorite décor and collectables. White, ceiling-height cabinets surround the room. The full-overlay doors keep the look seamless. Double dishwashers, double ovens and a double refrigerator are essentials for this busy, large family. An induction cooktop was chosen for energy efficiency, child safety, and reliability in cooking. An appliance garage and a mixer lift house the much-used small appliances. An ice maker and beverage center were added to the side wall cabinet bank. The microwave and TV are hidden but have easy access. The inspiration for the room was an exclusive glass mosaic tile. The large island is a glossy classic blue. White quartz countertops feature small flecks of silver. Plus, the stainless metal accent was even added to the toe kick! Upper cabinet, under-cabinet and pendant ambient lighting, all on dimmers, was added and every light (even ceiling lights) is LED for energy efficiency. White-on-white modern counter stools are easy to clean. Plus, throughout the room, strategically placed USB outlets give tidy charging options.

This full remodel project featured a complete redo of the existing kitchen. This room located over the kitchen was an unused spare bedroom/office space. The existing floor made it a perfect candidate for a new and much improved laundry space. Due to its location over the kitchen the plumbing could easily be added to the renovated laundry space. Designed and Planned by J. Graham of Bancroft Blue Design, the entire layout of the space was thoughtfully executed with unique blending of details, a one of a kind Coffer ceiling accent piece with integrated lighting, and a ton of features within the cabinets.

The Setup When Samantha’s clients purchased their new home, they quickly realized the primary bath and adjacent laundry room weren’t just dated — they were dysfunctional. The bathroom featured a hulking decked-in tub, a cramped pass-through layout, and plumbing fixtures that barely worked. Meanwhile, the nearby laundry room felt more like a closet, lacking both natural light and usable storage. As long-time returning Drury Design clients, these veteran remodeling clients came to us with a clear ask: reimagine these two key spaces with long-term comfort, function, and beauty in mind. Design objectives: Create a more functional, spacious layout in the primary bath Modernize the aesthetic while respecting the home’s transitional character Eliminate awkward bump-outs and toe-stubbing pinch points Design a large walk-in shower with thoughtful aging-in-place elements Incorporate a sculptural standalone tub that feels intentional, not crowded Improve laundry room utility and bring in natural light Introduce discreet yet effective storage in both rooms Make both spaces feel cohesive, light-filled, and livable for years to come The Remodel Design challenges to be solved: A bulky built-in tub jutted into the circulation path, creating toe-stubbing hazards The bathroom layout was awkwardly L-shaped, limiting flow and flexibility The shower and toilet were squeezed together in an enclosed room with poor use of space The linen cabinet in the bathroom was large and clunky, crowding the room The laundry room was undersized, lacked light, and had limited functionality The home featured transitional details that didn’t align with the clients’ more contemporary style The clients wanted both spaces to support future aging-in-place needs The Renewed Space Design solutions: Swapped the oversized tub for a freestanding sculptural version placed on an angle, clearing walkways and preserving window symmetry and light Reworked the footprint to create a rectangular layout that maximized space in both the primary bath and laundry room Removed the enclosed toilet/shower room and replaced it with a wide, glass-enclosed shower and a tucked-away toilet — all within a visually open and efficient layout Tucked a slim, full-height linen cabinet just behind the entry door — easily accessible without cluttering the visual field Retooled layout allowed laundry room to extend over the old shower/toilet space, also winning a window – this brightens the laundry space and the hallway beyond. Also added smart storage, a wide sink, folding counter, and broom cabinet with power. Balanced contemporary materials with transitional details — including a rich color palette, chrome finishes, mosaic accents, and herringbone tile in a larger scale for traditional flair Integrated aging-in-place features including a wide walk-in shower, large built-in bench with nearby handheld, and plenty of room for easy movement and accessibility Final Thoughts: By designing these two rooms in tandem, Samantha was able to create a smooth and thoughtful flow between everyday tasks and everyday comfort. The bathroom now offers generous circulation space, elegant materials, and features designed for longevity — including a large shower with bench seating and open sightlines that support accessibility. Just steps away, the laundry room is no longer a tucked-away closet but a light-filled, functional hub with room to fold, hang, rinse, and more (ex. recharge vacuum in a closet with power outlets). For these longtime Drury Design clients, it’s a two-room transformation built not just for today – but for the years ahead.

This hamper baskets, once hidden between junk, are now easily accessible. Which makes the whole laundry experience elevated. The floating shelf was also decluttered and what was added or left was for specific reasons i.e. used often, inspired the family.

INTENSIVE EFFECTS FOR LARGE INTERIOR SPACES Light fixtures with large crystal and powerful light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are the distinctive features of Crystal StarLED Deluxe. This large-scale lighting system is excellent for achieving powerful light reflections (up to a meter in diameter) in high-ceilinged rooms and where the ambient brightness is high. The large crystal is an attractive design feature in its own right. The pure brilliance of perfectly polished crystals is combined with powerful LEDs, creating an amazingly effective, economical and low-maintenance lighting system of unparalleled durability. Crystal StarLED Deluxe is available in three different set configurations. It Is also possible to configure a highly versatile lighting system from the individual elements to ensure optimal and unique lighting for any specific room. Outstanding effects can also be achieved in combination with Crystal StarLED. THE ADVANTAGES Distinctive features of the Crystal StarLED Deluxe: MODULARITY - Pre-assembled, ready-to-install sets make planning easy - Individual design configurations or combinations for special requirements: Expansion of the lighting system with additional crystal is easy, creating uniquely individual systems. The system range can also be easily expanded several meters with a pluggable extension. UNPARALLELED DURABILITY No other light source can beat the lifespan of LEDs, provided they are used under optimal conditions. The cost of maintaining the system is minimal: all you have to do is clean the crystals occasionally. LOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION Crystal StarLED Deluxe lighting systems use 1 W LEDs. LEDs convert power directly into light. The resulting minimal energy consumption is clearly reflected in the operating costs.

Once again, we have had the pleasure of working with this outstanding builder on another project. Aaron Mauk not only designed but supplied and installed all the cabinetry in this new home which definitely utilizes an "open" design concept throughout. Unique lighting elements are found in every room which keeps every space fun and exciting. The kitchen uses grey tones to create a cool, clean environment that showcases the breathtaking ceilings. Most of the cabinetry in the house is shown in Marsh’s “Graphite” stain on maple wood, which is a beautiful way of tying the whole home together. This home is not only beautiful, but it is functional as well. The pull down closet rods found in the laundry room extend over the washer and dryer so it can be used when needed, but easily stored out of the way when not in use.

For this particular project, the family wanted to renovate their laundry room in a way that maximizes storage space while keeping clutter to a minimum. We were able to do exactly that, by installing custom cabinets, shelving, and hangs throughout the room. We measured their washer and dryer, and built a shelf around it with a perfect fit. Utilizing the hangs and the coat hangers we installed, this family can easily store clothing fresh out of the dryer to prevent wrinkles. The overhead cabinets provide plenty of space for holding onto cleaning supplies and other goods.
