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!

L.Z. Horizon Residence is a luxury apartment designed to restore clarity and presence. Its palette of soft tones, natural materials, and open flow creates a subtle emotional rhythm—supporting both stillness and vitality. Light moves gently through the space, textures invite touch, and every element was chosen not only for beauty, but for how it feels. More than a home, it’s a quiet system that brings balance back to the body and mind.

Nestled within a highly exclusive residence in Atherton, this 375 sq.ft master bathroom was designed by HENNE Creative in 2025 as a refined experience of luxury, serenity, and contrast. With a dramatic interplay between sculptural black marble and soft textured travertine walls, the space is bathed in natural light through the overhead skylight, creating a tranquil retreat rooted in balance.
Our design intention was to elevate the everyday routine into a sensory ritual, blending architectural precision with emotional softness. Minimal black fixtures, custom illuminated niches, and the seamless symmetry of the dual showers define this bathroom not just as a space, but as a visual and tactile experience.

JAC 140 - Twilight in Space by Jon Allen
The Jon Allen Collection is an exclusive, hand-selected group of my most personal work to date. Each piece is hand-painted on aluminum. My art itself and my chosen medium, aluminum, are blissfully married. You may not think of the word organic when you hear the word metal, but this is some of my most organic art and that’s simply because metal allows my work to achieve true sentience. Aluminum’s naturally reflective nature enables each color, shape, and stroke to reach its full potential. A new aspect of the painting will reveal itself to you as it basks in the light that surrounds, evades, or envelops it in that moment. When you see the piece from different angles, you will appreciate how vibrant, dynamic, and environmentally influenced these pieces are. What you may see and feel by morning is not what you’ll see or feel by dusk and in many ways, and as such I feel these pieces capture the ever-ebbing and complex nature of human emotion and perception.
Some of these pieces are truly abstract while others are modern takes on traditional landscapes, marine life, and portraits. I hope you enjoy them a fraction of how much I enjoyed creating them. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Number of Pieces: 1
Dimensions: 46" x 13" x 2" off the wall
Care & Cleaning: Clean with a soft cloth and plain soap & water
Other Features: Hardware is pre-installed for simple hanging and art will “float” 2” off the wall

Through her company Brilliant Home Designs, Compass Realtor and artist Gina Covello has transformed a nearly 2500 square foot 1939 Sherman Oaks residence into a contemporary and stylish single level home and guest bungalow that retains the charm and sophistication of a bygone Hollywood era.
Nestled in the quiet and coveted foothills at 4237 Murietta Avenue, the residence was given a nearly yearlong make-over both architecturally and aesthetically. Using her distinct artist’s eye for detail, color and emotion, Gina has redesigned the bright 4 bedroom 3.5 bath home into a unique and spacious property that includes the modern amenities, privacy and character today’s homebuyers are searching for.
The 2500 square feet includes an additional renovated and fully-permitted guest bungalow that reflects the same elegant style and open air quality. Each room is adorned with picturesque windows and wide French doors with classic exterior awnings. High ceilings and recessed lighting, complimented by wood floors, custom-tiled bathrooms, ornate molding, brick fireplaces and designer fixtures add to the modern ambiance. An outdoor stone patio and large, landscaped, secluded backyard make it the ultimate expression of the California lifestyle.
Gina Covello is not only a successful real estate Broker in Los Angeles, she is also an esteemed abstract artist whose work has been displayed in the staging of a variety luxury estates throughout the city.

We feel a waterfall of emotion when we enter this monochromatic kitchen. The focus of this remodel was to update the clean lines and maintain the modern style. This was accomplished through the use of a bright white shaker style cabinet with a contemporary 2 step style and built-in appliances. The client expressed that organization and functionality of their cabinet interiors was a priority for them so we incorporated utensil, drawer and corner storage solutions that transfer their items with the slightest pull. A waterfall edge on the peninsula counter top shows off the beautiful marble stone and creates a feature unique to this kitchen.
Please note that phase I, the kitchen, was completed while Kay was employed by Redstone Kitchens. She served as the project manager and oversaw all aspects of kitchen design planning, cabinetry procurement, and material/fixture selection. Photos by Barrett Woodward of Showcase Photographers

LOS ANGELES, CA / SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL
The Bel-Air House sits above Hollywood, along scenic Mulholland Drive, the storied thoroughfare that acts as a winding referee between the compact density of the San Fernando Valley, and the more ex-urban conditions of Los Angeles. In contrast to the client’s weekend beach house, here the client envisioned a home that could share equally in the energy of the city, and the rustic qualities of canyon living. The resulting home is both minimal and refined—its abstract forms read against the wilder aspects of its nominally natural setting.
As a patron of music, and the arts, the client’s creative interests suggested the overall design approach: A simple yet sophisticated backdrop for the presentation of recitals, and the display and appreciation of beautiful artifacts. The house avows a museum-like attitude—the rich but restrained material palette draws from the colors and textures of the Santa Monica Mountains, and opposes natural with refined, polished with honed, quietly confirming a reverential aspect to this “temple on the hill”.
The focus of the house is a dark and silent pool. Intended as a space of emptiness, the pool is an enigmatic statement—at once a source of origin for the house, as well as its apparent conclusion. The spatial aspects unfold from this moment, with the various rooms revolving around this essential void. The pool and its open rotunda echo the reservoir in the canyon below the house, while the ocean beyond ultimately underscores the house’s strong commitment to water.
Simple stone walls, taut rooflines, and disciplined and minimal detailing allow the home to act as an armature for the client’s personal expression of taste and creativity. In complement to the client’s Mussel Shoals House, which suggests a relationship with the vast, and ever-widening horizon, the architectural resolution of the Bel-Air House emerges from the sheltered and enveloping emotion of the canyon.

Design by Blue Heron in Partnership with Cantoni. Photos By: Stephen Morgan
For many, Las Vegas is a destination that transports you away from reality. The same can be said of the thirty-nine modern homes built in The Bluffs Community by luxury design/build firm, Blue Heron. Perched on a hillside in Southern Highlands, The Bluffs is a private gated community overlooking the Las Vegas Valley with unparalleled views of the mountains and the Las Vegas Strip. Indoor-outdoor living concepts, sustainable designs and distinctive floorplans create a modern lifestyle that makes coming home feel like a getaway.
To give potential residents a sense for what their custom home could look like at The Bluffs, Blue Heron partnered with Cantoni to furnish a model home and create interiors that would complement the Vegas Modern™ architectural style. “We were really trying to introduce something that hadn’t been seen before in our area. Our homes are so innovative, so personal and unique that it takes truly spectacular furnishings to complete their stories as well as speak to the emotions of everyone who visits our homes,” shares Kathy May, director of interior design at Blue Heron. “Cantoni has been the perfect partner in this endeavor in that, like Blue Heron, Cantoni is innovative and pushes boundaries.”
Utilizing Cantoni’s extensive portfolio, the Blue Heron Interior Design team was able to customize nearly every piece in the home to create a thoughtful and curated look for each space. “Having access to so many high-quality and diverse furnishing lines enables us to think outside the box and create unique turnkey designs for our clients with confidence,” says Kathy May, adding that the quality and one-of-a-kind feel of the pieces are unmatched.
rom the perfectly situated sectional in the downstairs family room to the unique blue velvet dining chairs, the home breathes modern elegance. “I particularly love the master bed,” says Kathy. “We had created a concept design of what we wanted it to be and worked with one of Cantoni’s longtime partners, to bring it to life. It turned out amazing and really speaks to the character of the room.”
The combination of Cantoni’s soft contemporary touch and Blue Heron’s distinctive designs are what made this project a unified experience. “The partnership really showcases Cantoni’s capabilities to manage projects like this from presentation to execution,” shares Luca Mazzolani, vice president of sales at Cantoni. “We work directly with the client to produce custom pieces like you see in this home and ensure a seamless and successful result.”
And what a stunning result it is. There was no Las Vegas luck involved in this project, just a sureness of style and service that brought together Blue Heron and Cantoni to create one well-designed home.

1039 Lorne Park Rd, Mississauga
We staged this stunning 4,800 sqft luxury residence in the heart of Lorne Park, Mississauga - and it sold in just 5 days at $76,000 over asking.
The home's architecture called for a staging approach that matched its caliber: European-inspired, warm, and effortlessly elevated. Our team curated furnishings and décor that complemented the soaring 18-foot ceilings, white oak staircase, and linear fireplace, creating an emotional flow from the grand open-concept main floor through to the private primary suite.
Every room was styled to tell a story: a chef's kitchen made for Sunday mornings, a primary retreat that feels like a five-star escape, and a lower level that hints at movie nights and weekend entertaining.
The result: a buyer who could already picture their life here, before the open house even ended.

Every material tells a story that begins long before it's placed on-site. In our design process, we don’t just select textures and tones. We translate emotion, movement, and lifestyle into the landscape.
Belgard Basalt™ is a volcanic-inspired paver that brings strength, contrast, and modern elegance into outdoor spaces. Its dark tone, textured finish, and slip-resistant surface make it ideal for pool decks, patios, and driveways that are meant to impress and last.
Imagine stepping into your backyard and feeling grounded as cool stone meets lush grass and shimmering water where every edge is clean, and every step feels like purpose.
Your outdoor living is more than design. It’s the beginning of a lasting connection between nature, architecture, and your everyday life with the ones you love.
Let’s explore how this material can bring your outdoor story to life.

atelier: a classy kitchen corner cabinet design
Preserving the timeless and strong values of rocks, the atelier design concept is a versatile design concept that focuses on the free expression and naturalness of the elements. With an ocean-like design, atelier gives an artistic touch to your kitchen corners. Horizontally, the concept exudes craftsmanship because of its split edge; and laterally, the worktop is not clean-cut but chiseled: emphasizing authentic emotion. atelier is the quintessential kitchen design thanks to the many variations of available finishes and compositions.

Many homeowners have their own ideas about how light or dark their home interiors should be. Some folks love nothing more than sunny, light-filled rooms. Other people adore their comforting, softly-lit spaces.
While light levels can be a matter of personal preference, lighting can also be a powerful tool for shaping the mood, emotional tone and usage of every room. In fact, lighting is just as important as furnishings.
Lighting Tips
1. Stay Warm
Cool light looks brighter to the eye and can seem more like daylight. It can also make your home feel like a hospital or grocery store, which is not what we’re going for. Warm light is softer and creates a more relaxed mood. That’s what you want in your home.
2. Yes, You Can
We’re big fans of can lighting. These in-ceiling lights draw zero attention to themselves while creating a foundation for excellent interior lighting. We add lamps for emphasis and mood in particular areas and put everything on a dimmer switch (see #3). This formula gives you maximum flexibility.
3. The Great Dimmer
What did people do before the dimmer switch was invented? We suspect they shielded their eyes or huddled together in the dark because there was nothing inbetween. We use dimmer switches everywhere except the bathroom. Controlling the level of every light in your home allows you to create the right mood for the moment every time.
4. Beam Me Up
We’re head over heels in love with this stunning raw wood beam wrapped with light bulbs on cords. Flip one dimmer switch and all the lights go on, at the exact intensity level you choose. The can lights in the ceiling gently illuminate the room, so this fabulous fixture can serve its true purpose—which is to create an irresistibly inviting space and a found-object, vintage vibe.
5. Open Bulb Policy
Many of our light fixtures feature exposed bulbs. Once upon a time, light bulbs might have been ugly, but clear Edison bulbs, showing the filaments within, are themselves works of art. In a chandelier with an open, orb structure, candelabra bulbs are reminiscent of candle flames. A small lamp with a square metal base and a single bulb takes the open concept one step further.
6. Double Up
Above a long dining table or bar, consider using multiple light fixtures. Especially with hanging light fixtures, we tend to think of putting just one in the middle. But lighting only the center of a long table would leave some of your dinner guests in the dark while others take the spotlight.
7. Reflections
Reflections off mirrors, glass and tile bring a secondary light source into play and add a soft, beautiful touch. Candles create particularly compelling reflections.
8. Looking Up
In high, open spaces, a light fixture can help balance the space, bringing the eye downward and helping make the area less cavernous and more inviting.
9. Looking Out
Lighting is also a safety issue. Make sure you can turn on the stair lights at the top and the bottom of the stairs. Incorporate the flexibility to light up the room you’re entering before you get there, so you aren’t stumbling around in the dark, trying to find the switch.
10. How Low Can You Go?
While low light may be flattering, people tend to err on the side of too little light, rather than too much. Turn up that dimmer a notch more than you would normally and you may like what you see. Having sufficient light is particularly important in areas such as basements, where there may be little to no natural light.

The interior is designed in a laconic style. The author of the project used several basic colors: black, white and the warm natural shade of the Coswick floor. The interior design is perfectly organized. Impeccable proportions, a minimum of decorative elements and lack of frills makes pleasant emotions. The result is an peaceful and very comfortable space.
3-layer Coswick Engineered Flooring Oak Ginger was used in the project.

The patterns, reminiscent of carefully drawn pencil lines, create an interweaving effect, a web of random marks that emanate an emotional candor.
