These McLean homeowners loved their home, which they purchased several years ago, for its location and community feel. However, they knew that the blocky design of the main floor and outdated master bathroom were not to their liking nor their style. MOSS worked with them to create a large, open kitchen with a cozy dining nook that opened to the beautiful, bright family room, eliminating unnecessary walls, and to update the master bathroom to a more modern aesthetic with deep soaking tub, large walk-in shower, and matching vanities. Knowing they wanted to keep a modern “vibe”, MOSS focused on helping our customers choose the aesthetics, including paint color they chose, for the entire house, giving them a flow and feel that created the ambiance they longed for.

This 1980s subdivision home was built in an era of compartmentalized spaces, with separate, defined rooms that made the main living areas feel disconnected. While it wasn’t a true split-level, its four-tiered design—including a sunken living room adjacent to the kitchen—created challenges in both function and flow.
The homeowners envisioned something different—a space that felt open, modern, and perfect for entertaining. The first step was bringing cohesion to the main level by leveling the floors, eliminating unnecessary height changes, and creating a seamless transition from one space to another.
To truly optimize the home for gatherings, we reimagined the layout, relocating the kitchen to what was once the dining room. This strategic move allowed for a more spacious and inviting flow between the kitchen and outdoor living area, giving the homeowners the perfect setup for hosting friends and family.
A sleek, modern railing added a final touch of transparency and sophistication, reinforcing the home's newfound sense of openness.

As the designer behind this master bathroom transformation, my mission was clear: to breathe new life into an outdated and dimly lit space while catering to my client's distinct desires. The project was marked by the client's unwavering commitment to enhancing functionality privacy and preserving the owner’s cherished MTI tub, all while adhering to the unalterable presence of existing windows.
FEATURES:
1. A glass pass-through between rooms allows natural light to flow freely, promoting a sense of openness.
2. The ceiling-mounted sliding glass door hardware elevates the shower experience with taller glass panels and effortless operation.
3. Accessibility and safety were paramount, resulting in a zero-entry shower, strategically placed grab bars, and an 'assist' TP holder.
4. To cater to varying preferences, a main showerhead and hand shower were accessible for standing and bench use.
5. A shared glass door between rooms eliminated the inconvenience of cumbersome door swings.
6. Privacy was enhanced through gradient glass etching, ensuring comfort and tranquility.
7. The digital shower system allowed for personalized controls, accommodating the unique preferences of the couple.
Creating a private bath around the existing MTI tub initially seemed insurmountable. However, innovative thinking led to a transformative solution. The drop-in tub was ingeniously converted into a free-standing tub with a narrow quartz deck adorned with a captivating mother-of-pearl mosaic tile surround. A floating walnut shelf at the tub's end introduced practicality and organic beauty.
Black plumbing fixtures were chosen to accentuate the mesmerizing depth of the mother-of-pearl mosaic tile. Horizontal book-matched walnut vanities introduced warmth and character, seamlessly connecting the interior to the outdoor view. The white quartz countertop is a refreshing contrast to the intricate finishes, lending a touch of sophistication. The ceiling light over the tub, akin to the icing on a cake, added a final note of elegance.
To meet the client's need for increased storage, the vanities have pullouts & roll-outs. These thoughtful additions ensured effortless access to personal care products. LED-lit medicine cabinets not only provided excellent lighting but also served as storage for everyday essentials. Vanity toe kick lighting is thoughtfully designed with a motion sensor at the entry, providing a guiding path to the water closet. Particularly valued during nighttime, this feature prevents unnecessary lights from illuminating, preserving the tranquility of those in bed.

Inspired by Scandinavian and German design, this modern kitchen is decidedly fuss-free and “pure”. The surfaces and materials focus on the use of neutral materials and earthy colors while eliminating unnecessary detailing.

Another of the homeowner's requests was eliminating the dust-collecting space above the kitchen cabinets. Rather than installing costly, difficult-to-access decorative cabinets that would offer little practical storage, the design utilized an elegant build-up of tiered crown moldings above the 42-inch wall cabinets. This custom millwork extends the cabinetry visually to the ceiling, creating the appearance of bespoke furniture while eliminating an unnecessary maintenance issue. The layered crown molding adds architectural depth, draws the eye upward to emphasize the 9-foot ceilings, and delivers a timeless, luxury kitchen aesthetic without sacrificing functionality.
The large window above the kitchen sink fills the workspace with abundant natural daylight, making food preparation and cleanup more enjoyable. Because the southern exposure can produce intense glare at certain times of day, an off-white solar shade was selected to diffuse harsh sunlight while preserving outward views of the mature trees beyond. This performance window treatment improves visual comfort, protects interior finishes from UV exposure, and maintains the bright, airy character of the kitchen—an ideal balance of beauty, energy efficiency, and everyday functionality.
