This Classic Quarry large Nojoqui Falls wall fountain will instantly become the crowning jewel of any room you put it in, whether it's in your home or office. When you look at this fountain your eye will be naturally drawn to the movement of the water over the textured Absolute Black Granite to the awaiting polished cream white river rocks below. Amazing positive and negative water patterns created by the deeply textured face captivate viewers...the calming effect of this sight and sound cannot be overstated.
Granite's toughness is legendary. It is a dense and incredibly durable material that has an unmistakable decorative, luxurious quality and beauty. Our Classic wall fountain design is traditional and enduring, creating a natural focal point without taking up valuable floor space. Beautiful accent lighting adds to the peaceful ambiance, satisfying all your senses.
Bluworld HOMelements™ Classic Quarry Line also features your choice of premium metals, like brushed stainless steel, rustic copper with our signature hand-applied patina, or your choice of our standard colors like Black Onyx or Copper Vein trim kits. Remotely controlled dimmable, long lasting warm white LED lighting highlights the beauty of the stone color and texture. A removable rock tray allows easy access to the pump and adjustable flow rate valve. Cream White River Rocks are included.
Natural stone varies in color due to the different hues of the natural particles that make up the product. All stones are natural and vary in color, intensity and veining. Photos are provided as an indication only. It is the variation in natural stone that makes each fountain quite unique.
Since this product is natural stone, color and texture variances are not defects within the material, but are inherent to it and part of the natural beauty of quarried materials. Our natural stone slabs are imported from quarries worldwide. The Classic Quarry Line contains stunning slices of the natural world.
Due to the broad range of colors and textures (Granite excluded) you may wish to select your own stone. This culling service is offered for an additional fee and includes photos of 4 different slabs from your selected stone species. Stone selections must be made within 48 hours of photo receipt. Our Culling Service is not offered for Absolute Black Granite.

Designed as a private retreat within this luxury multigenerational home, the primary bathroom embodies the essence of organic modern design through its timeless material palette, spa-inspired atmosphere, and thoughtful functionality. Warm natural textures, sophisticated finishes, custom cabinetry, and layered lighting create a serene sanctuary that promotes relaxation and everyday luxury. Durable, high-performance materials and intentional design details ensure lasting beauty while supporting the needs of daily life. The result is a refined and restorative space that seamlessly balances elevated aesthetics with enduring practicality.

This new build was designed with a modern organic approach, blending clean architectural lines with warm, natural materials to create a space that feels timeless, calm, and highly livable. The goal was to design a cohesive main floor that feels elevated yet approachable, with thoughtful attention to scale, proportion, and material layering.
Soft neutral tones provide a quiet foundation, while warm wood finishes, subtle texture, and brass accents add depth and visual interest. Furniture selections were carefully curated to balance comfort and sophistication, ensuring the home feels welcoming without sacrificing design integrity. Lighting was intentionally layered to enhance both functionality and atmosphere throughout the space.
The result is a refined, modern organic interior that feels collected, enduring, and tailored to everyday living — a home designed to age beautifully over time.

This kitchen remodeling project in Manassas, is part of a whole house remodel Kitchen and Bath Shop did recently. In this kitchen, we used quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, open shelves, and white, long-endurance cabinets made in the U.S.A. by WellKraft Cabinetry.

Exterior shutters from The Shade Shop create an inviting architectural feel and boost the curb-appeal of your home. Made-to-order and hand-assembled for your exact window specification, our shutters can be manufactured using solid wood or an exterior-grade composite wood to prevent cracking, rotting, or flaking. Each shutter undergoes an advanced finishing process for enduring, vibrant color– whether you select a standard or custom-matched color.

This classic mid-century modern master bedroom is designed with neutral tones of blacks & whites highlighted by an exciting pop of bold red. The iconic Bertoia Diamond chair (by Knoll) is much like a piece of modern sculpture. Its geometric pattern of repeating squares is echoed by the graphic stitching on the cotton bedspread. Modern teak furniture always fosters a timeless warm quality. Different textural fabrics such as cashmere, velvet, furs, and ultrasuede offer interesting sensory contrasts throughout the room. Original B&W photography adds a unique dimension to the space.
These homeowners desired high quality and an enduring, clean look. There is nothing more timeless than the combination of black and white which was inspired by the beautiful art glass collection displayed on the teak wall unit. A small but bright touch of red proclaims love, passion, strength, and energy. The homeowners announce, Absolutely fabulous!

This kitchen remodeling project in Spring Road, is part of a whole house remodel Kitchen and Bath Shop did recently. In this kitchen, we used quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, open shelves, and white, long-endurance cabinets.

I WISH I had before pictures of this project. The home was built in 2001. And after living 20+ years with a builder's grade kitchen, the lovely couple was eager to revamp. This time around, we brought the wall cabinets to the ceiling (which always give the illusion of taller ceilings, not to mention the additional storage); And topped the wall cabinets with a beautiful molding detail. An added island, in a dark gray stain added visual interest and weight to this white shaker kitchen.
?Designer Tip- Want an island with seating? A dark, stain is a great finish choice. For ☝️, a stain is more durable than a paint. And ✌️, the darker finish will hide scuff marks and wear and tear the island may endure from company and littles.

When our Alexandria clients moved into their first home, they inherited a kitchen with outdated laminate countertops and dark cabinetry that made the space feel closed in. They wanted the opposite: bright, open, and built for how they actually live.
We started with white Shaker cabinetry to maximize natural light in a kitchen that sits at the center of the home's main floor, visible from nearly every living space. A soft off-white quartz countertop added warmth without losing that airy, light-filled quality, and gold hardware and fixtures carried through consistently on every cabinet pull, knob, and faucet, giving the space a cohesive, elegant finish rather than a mismatched one.
The final touch came from a pair of black trumpet pendant lights above the island. In a kitchen built almost entirely on light, warm tones, that black accent gave the room the contrast and visual anchor it needed to feel complete rather than simply pretty.
White, black, and gold is one of the most enduring kitchen palettes we work with at Grace House Studio. It photographs beautifully, ages well, and gives homeowners a kitchen they won't tire of years down the road, which mattered a lot to clients furnishing their very first home.
If you're building new or finally ready to update a kitchen that no longer fits how you live, our team offers a free in-home consultation to walk through your space and talk through what's possible.

A homeowner who we’d worked with previously (a bathroom we’d remodeled for him was named ‘Bathroom of the Year’ by Boston Globe Magazine in 2007.) contacted us with a new project in mind.
Following a divorce and second marriage, he and his family had moved into mid-sized home that felt too cramped for two adults and four children. Working within its existing frame, we set to work creating a more functional and pleasant living experience.
The family’s main gathering area is the kitchen. We began improving the space by absorbing square footage from what had been a mudroom/laundry area behind the kitchen. This allowed us to introduce an island, creating a focal point for meal prep, cooking, and socializing. New custom cabinetry increased storage. We added a homework nook for the kids.
Wider openings to the foyer and the dining room made flow between spaces easier.
At the home’s entry, we re-treaded and re-finished the staircase, adding new railings and newell post. An orange fiberglass exterior door contrasts playfully with the home’s deep blue exterior.
Finishing the basement allowed the introduction of a new laundry area, a cozy family room/kids play space, and a workshop. In this last space we reconfigured some kitchen items that had been ordered but were unusable due to a last-minute change in plans, including a cabinet now used for tool storage and a wall panel that became a workbench.
On the home’s second floor, one bedroom had been accessible only by passing through another bedroom. The family’s two teenage children had been enduring this arrangement via solutions that included placing duct tape along the floor to mark passage boundaries. We were able to give each child much-desired private space by borrowing square-footage from a closet and carving out a hallway with separate entries for each room. Another bedroom on the second floor was refreshed with a new coat of paint.

In order to make a hall bathroom stand out you need to work with homeowners with a vision. Mike and Katie had that vision – and our design team shined! We started with a classic black and white mosaic tile floor, brass fixtures and a stunning vanity. We created a custom linen closet with roll out shelves, added vintage wainscoting and topped the space off with Rifle Paper wallpaper. This bathroom is truly a stand out and will endure for years to come.

Endless Movement presents a vertical column of intertwined red human forms compressed between two tall white structures. The rigid white sides create a narrow channel, framing the figures as they twist, climb, and fold into one another. Individual bodies are visible, yet they merge into a continuous flow, forming a single upward motion.
The vivid red color contrasts sharply with the calm, architectural white surfaces, emphasizing the energy and tension within the confined space. The figures appear caught in an ongoing cycle—struggling, rising, and transforming—without a clear beginning or end.
This vertical movement suggests persistence and the constant effort of human existence. Despite limitation and pressure from the surrounding structure, the bodies continue to shift and ascend. The sculpture reflects the idea that life is a continuous process of movement, adaptation, and endurance, where individual actions blend into an unending collective rhythm.

At RCID, we were thrilled to design the Briar Hill Residence—a timeless, transitional home that blends warmth, sophistication, and enduring craftsmanship. In collaboration with Altitude Custom Homes and Scalla Designs, every detail was thoughtfully planned to create a residence that feels both refined and inviting. From initial concept to final touches, the design celebrates quality, comfort, and materials that will stand the test of time.

Inside, the home continues its disciplined aesthetic—open, airy, and rooted in natural texture. White oak floors, custom cabinetry, and stone countertops create a neutral foundation that highlights the home’s architectural lines. The open floor plan connects kitchen, dining, and living areas, while expansive window walls extend sightlines into the landscape.
Mechanical and structural systems are discreetly integrated for comfort and performance. High-efficiency insulation, HVAC zoning, and moisture control ensure long-term durability and efficiency. Outdoor living areas—terraces, porches, and patios—mirror the main structure’s material language, with continuous stone and wood elements that blur the boundary between interior and exterior.
Every joint, reveal, and finish at Summit Ridge exemplifies CarsonSpeer Builders’ dedication to authenticity, proportion, and craftsmanship. This modern Southern residence stands as a testament to timeless design—crafted to endure, inspire, and live beautifully within its mountain setting.

A modern cabana along the Hudson River
Set just above the waterline, the Hudson Pool Cabana is a quiet architectural retreat designed for effortless summer living. This modern pool house embraces its riverside setting with a warm, minimalist material palette and an open connection to the surrounding landscape.
With pergolas constructed of cedar that will naturally silver over time, the structure nestles into the terrain with quiet confidence. At its heart is a streamlined kitchen that opens wide to the pool terrace, thanks to custom lift-up glass panels that transform the façade and dissolve the boundary between indoors and out. This gesture invites conversation, movement, and hospitality to flow freely between interior and exterior spaces.
Inside, the cabana is grounded in simplicity—clean lines, natural finishes, and purposeful details. A full bath and changing area support long days in and around the pool, while pergolas offer shelter and shade when the sun begins to dip over the Hudson River.
At once practical and poetic, this riverside cabana elevates the everyday into something serene and enduring—a modern companion to the water's edge.
