Just off the kitchen, Jessa’s District Server and Holmes Cabinet turn a high-traffic pass-through into a hardworking, story-filled space. The stately server gives her a practical place to set down everyday essentials, while the cabinet keeps family recipe books and favorite cooking inspiration close at hand.

This custom walk-in closet is designed to maximize storage, organization, and functionality with a clean modern aesthetic. Featuring a rich wood finish, the space includes double hanging sections, adjustable shelving, spacious drawers, and open storage for easy access to everyday essentials. Dedicated areas for clothing, shoes, and accessories create an efficient and organized layout.

A spa-quality primary bath built around a glass-enclosed shower clad in book-matched marble, its soft veining running floor to ceiling for an unbroken, serene wall of stone. Brushed brass fixtures — a wide rain showerhead and articulated handheld wand — add warmth against the cool marble, while a recessed niche with clean LED edge lighting keeps everyday essentials tucked away without disrupting the room's quiet symmetry. A freestanding soaking tub sits just beyond the glass, reinforcing the sense of a private retreat rather than a purely functional space. Underfoot, a linear drain and continuous marble flooring carry the same material from shower to floor, giving the room a seamless, sculptural calm.

This oversized kitchen island was designed to serve as both a functional workspace and a bold architectural centerpiece within the home. Thoughtfully integrated storage provides generous organization for cookware, serving pieces, and everyday essentials, helping maintain the kitchen’s clean and streamlined aesthetic. Above the island, oversized matte black pendant lights with warm metallic interiors add sculptural interest and ambient lighting, reinforcing the kitchen’s modern organic style. Designed for gathering, prep work, and entertaining, this island anchors the space with a refined balance of warmth, luxury, and functionality.

This double vanity does not lack storage space. Wall cabinets with an additional drawer are sitting on the countertops and house everyday essentials for the home owners. The dark warm cherry tone help ground the space.

This inviting lower level was designed as the ultimate gathering space—where family comes together to play, relax, and reconnect. Thoughtfully planned with both function and style in mind, the space balances warmth and sophistication with a rich palette of natural greens and layered textures.
A standout feature of the design is the seamless integration of storage solutions, ensuring that games, media, and everyday essentials are neatly tucked away yet always within reach. Custom built-ins and hidden compartments maintain a clean, organized aesthetic while maximizing usability.

After devastating flooding damaged the entire first floor and left the walls stripped to the studs, we had the opportunity to completely reimagine the kitchen, dining room, family room, and butler’s pantry.
The kitchen received an entirely new footprint—removing the dividing wall opened the space dramatically and improved flow and functionality. The former butler’s pantry was transformed into a dedicated beverage center and coffee bar, creating a hard-working hub for daily routines.
In the casual dining area, we added floor-to-ceiling cabinetry that expanded pantry storage and created a hidden “locker” for the kids’ homework, backpacks, and everyday essentials.
In the family room, the outdated media niche was replaced with custom built-ins, adding architectural detail and much-needed storage, and the fireplace received a complete facelift to bring the whole room up to date.
The result is a cohesive, modernized first floor designed for real family living—open, functional, and beautifully renewed.
