To view his art is to tempt the senses, whether it is the expressionistic work of emotion or the natural scenery of Hawaii, his work exemplifies creativity and the mastery of technique.

One of the small guest rooms is shown with just enough interest to evoke warm fuzzies! We leave plenty of space to move through the rooms yet give our buyer a good idea of what will fit in the space.

The Duomo di Siena left a lasting impression with its deeply intentional balance of materiality, scale, and story. For Luciana, it reinforced how emotional resonance is just as critical as visual beauty in timeless design.

Landscape Lighting adds beauty, usefulness, safety, security and emotion. In this case it resulted in a neighborhood emotion of pride of ownership that showed off best at night. We worked diligently on each house in close proximity to one another and when you drove down the street the appearance of all the lit homes really spoke well for themselves and the pride of the neighborhood. Landscape Lighting also supported our theory of securing your home from the unknown. Light is a great deterrent for discouraging intruders and unwelcomed guests from scoping out the neighborhood.

The white bedding keeps the feel of this master bedroom light and bright. The deeper purple tones are rendered on the upright elements of the bed instead of on its flat planes, where they might appear "heavy" and could "ground" the viewer emotionally. A Bonisolli Photography

A few decor pieces to were added to help buyers get an emotional connection to the home. You can see the outdated wallpaper border in the room but the eye isnt drawn to it because of the other pieces. Tip: keep your blinds open for showings

This fall, Amethyst had the opportunity to partner with Freeman Custom Homes of Kansas City to furnish this 5000 sq ft European Modern designed home for the Artisan Home Tour 2020! Every square inch of this home was magical -- from the secret staircase in the master bath leading to a private shuttered plunge pool to the vaulted kitchen with sky high mushroom colored cabinetry and handmade zellige tile. We met the builders during the cabinetry phase and watching their final, thoughtful design details evolve was such full of over-the-top surprises like the unique valet-like storage in the entry and limestone fireplace! As soon as we saw their vision for the home, we knew our furnishings would be a great match as our design style celebrates handmade rugs, artisan handmade custom seating, old-meets-new art, and let's be honest -- we love to go big! They trusted us to do our thing on the entire main level and we enjoyed every minute. The load in took 3 full trucks and fortunately for us -- the homeowners fell in love with several pieces so our uninstall trip was significantly lighter. I think we were all a little emotional leaving this masterpiece but sooooo happy for the owners and just hoping we get invited to a Christmas party... Here are some of the highlights -- 90% of the furnishings and rugs were from our shop and we filled in the gaps with some extra special pieces!

The client asked that this major renovation of her home in Palo Alto be based on principles described in Sarah Susanka’s Not-So-Big House and Christopher Alexander’s A Pattern Language.

For the bathroom, we went for a moody and classic look. Sticking with a black and white color palette, we have chosen a classic subway tile for the shower walls and a black and white hex for the bathroom floor. The black vanity and floral wallpaper brought some emotion into the space and adding the champagne brass plumbing fixtures and brass mirror was the perfect pop.
