This primary bath and bedroom suite were reimagined as a serene retreat defined by calm, clarity, and quiet luxury. The design blends spa-like comfort with thoughtful function, creating a bright, minimal space where everything has its place. A freestanding soaking tub and steam shower anchor the bathroom, complemented by warm wood accents, marble countertops, and custom cabinetry that conceals storage for both everyday items and travel essentials. LED lighting, smart shower controls, and a ten-foot rolling mirror door add layers of innovation and beauty. The result is a tranquil, light-filled suite that feels restorative, refined, and effortlessly organized.

This master bathroom remodel in Reston was designed around a fully custom steam shower, creating a clean and comfortable space with a spa-like feel.
The shower area was completely reworked by removing one of the existing walls and opening up the layout. We installed a frameless glass enclosure that runs to the ceiling, which is essential for proper steam retention while also making the space feel more open.
Inside the shower, the entire enclosure was tiled from floor to ceiling, including the ceiling itself. This is an important detail for steam showers, along with proper waterproofing behind the tile to ensure long-term performance.
To improve functionality, we added a built-in bench with a quartz top, along with two recessed niches for storage. The shower floor features a hexagon mosaic tile, which adds texture and provides better grip.
The material selection throughout the bathroom was kept clean and consistent. We used MSI Eden Dolomite tile in both polished and matte finishes, paired with a Bianco Dolomite accent tile on the plumbing wall and inside the niches.
The vanity area features Fabuwood Galaxy Indigo cabinets, combined with a Frost White quartz countertop and matte black hardware. This contrast helps define the space while keeping the overall look balanced.
Additional updates included new recessed lighting with dimmers, updated electrical and plumbing work, and a fresh coat of paint throughout the bathroom and closet.
The final result is a modern master bathroom centered around a fully functional steam shower, designed for both everyday use and long-term durability.

Decorate your bedroom with a beautifully chosen area rug that seamlessly integrates style and practicality into your bedroom decor. Area rugs are essential in defining your space, adding warmth, and enhancing the overall aesthetic. Whether you’re aiming for a contemporary look or a more traditional vibe, the right rug can make all the difference.
Style and Design: When selecting an area rug, consider various styles to match your bedroom decor. Hand-tufted and hand-knotted rugs offer luxurious textures and intricate patterns, perfect for adding elegance to any room. For a modern touch, machine-woven rugs are an excellent choice, featuring vibrant designs and practical features like heat-set fibers for durability.

Materials and Comfort: Explore different materials to find the perfect rug for your needs. Shag and flokati rugs provide a plush, cushioned feel that makes your bedroom cozy and inviting. Hand-loomed rugs deliver a unique texture and artisanal quality, while braided and hand-hooked rugs add a rustic charm. Machine washable options are ideal for easy maintenance, ensuring that your rug stays fresh and clean with minimal effort.
Functionality and Practical Features: Enhance your bedroom’s functionality with features designed for everyday use. Stain-resistant and water-resistant rugs protect against spills and stains, maintaining their appearance over time. Non-slip and adhesive backings ensure safety on hardwood floors, preventing slips and keeping your rug in place. Additionally, cushioned rugs provide extra comfort underfoot, making your bedroom feel even more luxurious.
Customization and Personalization: Create a truly unique look with personalized or custom rug sets. An 8x10 area rug offers ample coverage and can be tailored to fit your room perfectly. Customization options, such as fringe details or organic textures, allow you to reflect your personal style and match your decor seamlessly.

Pure and organic, the Essence collection invites relaxation and contemplation. From the timeless elegance of the sink to the gentle profile of the two‑piece toilet, Essence transforms an everyday space into a special retreat.

The Setup
Situated between the front kitchen and the home’s primary living spaces, this bar was originally conceived as a modest bistro-style nook – a place to sit, watch TV, and enjoy a drink. As the design process evolved, both the homeowners and the design team recognized an opportunity to let the bar become something more: a visually compelling focal point that anchors circulation through the home while offering a distinct moment of hospitality.
Set within an arched recess and framed by a partial glass wall, the bar is visible from much of the public area of the home. Its location places it directly along the natural path between the kitchen, dining room, and family room, making it both highly accessible and impossible to ignore. From the outset, the goal was to ensure the bar felt intentional and complete – not an afterthought – while still complementing the adjacent kitchens rather than competing with them.
Design objectives:
Create a fully functional wet bar with refrigeration, ice, sink, waste storage, and liquor storage
Allow the bar to feel visually distinct while remaining cohesive with the surrounding spaces
Introduce color and character in a controlled, intentional way
Design the bar as a focal point within a highly visible circulation zone
Balance everyday usability with refined, layered design details
Design challenges to be solved:
Fitting a complete wet bar – including refrigeration, ice, sink, storage, and waste — into a base cabinetry run measuring under eight feet wide
Determining which appliances and storage functions were essential once upper cabinetry was eliminated
Providing adequate task lighting while also highlighting bottles and glassware on open shelving
Introducing texture and visual interest within the arched recess without overdesigning a compact space
Giving the bar a distinct identity that complements – but does not compete with – the adjacent kitchens
Design solutions:
Designing fully custom base cabinetry that prioritized core bar functions and used every inch efficiently, including split cabinetry and compact waste storage
Selecting a drawer-style refrigeration unit that combines refrigeration and freezer capabilities, allowing ice storage without sacrificing valuable width
Layering lighting with integrated LED strip lighting above and below the shelves, paired with decorative articulating fixtures to support both display and task lighting
Using a chevron-patterned natural stone tile backsplash to introduce movement, texture, and subtle color variation while keeping surrounding surfaces intentionally restrained
Specifying metal cabinetry in a soft blue tone with integrated brass framing to establish a distinctive visual identity that harmonizes with the home’s broader palette
A Space That Works on Its Own — and Within the Whole
Though compact in size, the bar carries significant visual and functional weight within the home. It stands confidently on its own as a richly detailed, fully functional destination, while also flowing naturally into the adjacent kitchens and living spaces. The result is a bar that feels purposeful rather than ornamental – a space designed to be used daily, noticed often, and appreciated over time.

This stunning modern farmhouse residence in Columbia, Tennessee, sits atop a transformed hilltop parcel, originally raw land that was expertly excavated to create a level 2-acre plateau. The site development included installing essential infrastructure such as paved roads, water lines, and electrical systems, turning an undeveloped ridge into a private, family-friendly haven with panoramic valley and mountain views.
The home features a crisp white board-and-batten and horizontal siding exterior, accented by natural stone foundations and stained timber beams for a perfect blend of rustic charm and contemporary edge. Dramatic black-framed windows flood the interior with natural light, while the dark asphalt shingle roof with gabled peaks adds depth and contrast. An expansive covered front porch, supported by cedar posts and topped with metal roofing, invites relaxation with seating areas overlooking the sunset. Additional highlights include an oversized two-car garage with white doors, a lower-level walkout basement ready for expansion, and smart-home-ready elements like energy-efficient construction. Twilight lighting accentuates the clean lines, making the house glow against the evening sky.
The landscaped yard is thoughtfully designed for everyday enjoyment, with manicured green lawns, gravel pathways, and low-maintenance shrubs lining the foundation. A circular asphalt driveway provides easy access and ample parking, curving gracefully around the property. In the backyard, a gravel patio area with a fire pit offers a cozy spot for gatherings, while a covered rear deck extends living space outdoors. The setup includes potential for additions like a pool, outdoor kitchen, or expanded entertaining zones, with features like a satellite dish and HVAC units discreetly placed for functionality without compromising aesthetics.
Perched on a scenic hilltop surrounded by wooded forests, the 2-acre lot provides plenty of flat, open space for children and dogs to play safely—ideal for games, picnics, or simply running free amid the fresh air. The elevated position ensures unobstructed, layered views of rolling hills, distant valleys, and seasonal foliage, creating a serene rural retreat feel. In summer, lush green trees frame the property; in fall and winter, bare branches reveal even broader vistas. This custom-developed site balances privacy, accessibility, and natural beauty, making it a true dream property for those seeking a luxurious escape in Tennessee's countryside.

This kitchen cooking area combines rustic charm with modern functionality. The warm wood cabinetry and natural stone countertops create a grounded, inviting feel, while the elegant range hood adds a touch of sophistication.

This design strikes a perfect balance, making the kitchen both visually appealing and highly functional for everyday cooking and entertaining.
