Consistent motorized sheer shades installed throughout the bedroom for a cohesive, modern window treatment design. Custom motorized Hunter Douglas Silhouette sheer shades were installed in a lakefront home on Lake Norman in Mooresville, North Carolina. Designed for large, elevated windows throughout the home, these shades provide soft light control, privacy, and unobstructed water views. The Silhouette system was selected for its ability to diffuse natural light while maintaining a connection to the outdoors, making it ideal for waterfront living. Motorization adds effortless control for hard-to-reach windows and enhances daily convenience in this luxury smart home. The result is a clean, modern window treatment solution that balances design, comfort, and functionality throughout the home.

Clients wanted their new loft to have a modern feel that incorporated some of their existing pieces. We went with a classic color combo of black, white and red. With concrete floors and brick walls we wanted to warm up the space with a few walnut pieces throughout. With most lofts, space planning can be a challenge. We wanted enough seating without cluttering up the spatially challenged loft. We went with a very versatile sofa with removable/re-positionable backs to allow for larger gatherings in need of more seating. The dining area we equipped with a full bar cabinet, a sideboard for storage and ability to serve a buffet. Refinished antique table and chairs is the center of attention. We did two large matching chandeliers to enhance the 14 foot ceilings. Overall we kept the space open and functional.

Photo by Jody Dole This charming farmhouse sits atop a grassy hill overlooking a serene Connecticut River Estuary. The new design reformulated the first floor plan making it much more functional and visually exciting. It encompassed the reorganization of multiple spaces including the Mudroom, Kitchen, Dining Room, Family Room, Sun Room, Laundry, Bathroom, and Master Closet. The design also added, deleted, and relocated windows and French doors to greatly enhance exterior views, draw in more natural light, and seamlessly upgrade the articulation of exterior elevations. Improvements to the plumbing and mechanical systems were also made. The overall feeling is both sophisticated and yet very much down to earth. John R.
