Evolved in the heart of the San Juan Mountains, this Colorado Contemporary home features a blend of materials to complement the surrounding landscape. This home triggered a blast into a quartz geode vein which inspired a classy chic style interior and clever use of exterior materials. These include flat rusted siding to bring out the copper veins, Cedar Creek Cascade thin stone veneer speaks to the surrounding cliffs, Stucco with a finish of Moondust, and rough cedar fine line shiplap for a natural yet minimal siding accent. Its dramatic yet tasteful interiors, of exposed raw structural steel, Calacatta Classique Quartz waterfall countertops, hexagon tile designs, gold trim accents all the way down to the gold tile grout, reflects the Chic Colorado while providing cozy and intimate spaces throughout.

The picture our clients had in mind was a boutique hotel lobby with a modern feel and their favorite art on the walls. We designed a space perfect for adult and tween use, like entertaining and playing billiards with friends. We used alder wood panels with nickel reveals to unify the visual palette of the basement and rooms on the upper floors. Beautiful linoleum flooring in black and white adds a hint of drama. Glossy, white acrylic panels behind the walkup bar bring energy and excitement to the space. We also remodeled their Jack-and-Jill bathroom into two separate rooms – a luxury powder room and a more casual bathroom, to accommodate their evolving family needs.

Our clients had this beautiful idea of creating a space that's as welcoming as it is timeless, where every family gathering feels special, and every room invites you in. Picture a kitchen that's not just for cooking but for connecting, where family baking contests and meals turn into cherished memories. This heart of the home seamlessly flows into the dining and living areas, creating an open, inviting space for everyone to enjoy together.
We didn't overlook the essentials – the office and laundry room are designed to keep life running smoothly while keeping you part of the family's daily hustle and bustle.
The kids' rooms? We planned them with an eye on the future, choosing designs that will age gracefully as they do. The basement has been reimagined as a versatile sanctuary, perfect for both relaxation and entertainment, balancing rustic charm with a touch of elegance. The master suite is your personal retreat, leading to a peaceful outdoor area ideal for quiet moments. Its bathroom transforms your daily routine into a spa-like experience, blending luxury with tranquility.
In essence, we've woven together each space to not just tell our clients' stories but enrich their daily lives with beauty, functionality, and a little outdoor magic. It's all about creating a home that grows and evolves with them. How's that for a place to call home?

A decomposed granite path winds through the entire property, connecting key areas and guiding movement with a relaxed, natural rhythm. Here, it leads to the guest house, where soft plantings and rustic materials create a welcoming pause. A low stone wall provides a quiet division between the guest house and the main home—offering a sense of separation while keeping views and access open. The surrounding plants were selected for their evolving beauty—designed to grow fuller, bloom seasonally, and become more visually prominent over time. The path, plantings, and stonework come together to shape a landscape that feels both thoughtful and grounded.

Driven by a desire to create spaces of equal quality, what started as a kitchen redesign for this 1930s Tudor evolved into a nearly full home renovation. The flat roof over the family room, a remnant of a 1970s renovation, was replaced with steeply pitched roof, which blends perfectly with the existing structures. Slate shingles add to the historic character of the home. A stone turret was incorporated, providing a whimsical, rustic element to the exterior. Built on a diagonal to the existing house, the garage follows the contours of a hill leading to a play area. The details reflect those of the period of the original house, while adding a bit more formality in the spaces that demanded it.

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!

We are delighted to unveil our latest accomplishment: adding a brand-new, beautifully designed full bathroom to a once single-bathroom home. This impressive transformation elevates the property to a more functional and comfortable two-bathroom residence, catering to the evolving needs of the occupants.
Our highly skilled team meticulously crafted this exquisite bathroom from top to bottom, ensuring that every detail met the highest standards. The project involved creating a new space within the home where none existed before, turning a previously unused area into an elegant sanctuary of relaxation and rejuvenation.
Now featuring premium quality fixtures, tiling, and expert craftsmanship, this meticulously designed bathroom seamlessly blends both form and function. The new addition not only enhances the daily lives of the homeowners but also adds substantial value and appeal to the property.

This unique wooden wall is created from 100% recycled teak wood blocks. One of a kind pattern of each panel evolves into intricate wood wall that never can be repeated. Rustic and warm at the same time it will be the feature wall for many looks. Its texture will add depth to any room and enhance any interior by adding sense of sophistication to traditional, contemporary or modern home.
Teak is world renown for its durability, rot & pest resistance and minimal expansion and shrinkage in alternating weather.

This project involved transforming an unusable attic space into a stunning and functional transitional conversion for a growing family in need of additional entertainment space, a home office, and a bathroom.
The scope of work included designing a modern and inviting space, utilizing a combination of steel and wood finishes to create a contemporary atmosphere. The dedicated reading spaces for the kids were designed with comfort and visual appeal in mind, while the office area was spacious and functional.
The bathroom was a key focus of the project, designed with both functionality and style in mind. Modern fixtures and finishes were incorporated to create a sleek and elegant space, while ensuring that it was fully functional for the family's needs.
The project was executed with close attention to detail and functionality, maximizing the use of every inch of space. The end result was a stunning and functional transitional attic conversion that provided the family with the additional space they needed to comfortably accommodate their growing family and evolving needs.
Overall, this project was a great success, creating a beautiful and practical living space for the family to enjoy for years to come.

Our client sought elevated visual appeal and functionality from this lakefront home. We created an open, full kitchen and convenient butler’s pantry within their design. Removing the walls, which separated the family room and kitchen opened up the space, introducing more natural light and gleaming lake views. Inspired by the scene, our design evolved to include a dry bar with a floating, back-lit glass countertop and custom storage. The unique, glowing bar further enhanced the entertainment aspect of the room, making it a functional and beautifully artistic addition.
With modern lines and clean simplicity in mind throughout, custom floating cabinetry without hardware, waterfall-edged Peruvian walnut wood countertops, and LED-lit polished stainless steel toe kicks were added to the kitchen to make a striking impression. To complete the kitchen, high quality appliances and custom organization—like the Subzero wine fridge and specialty pull-out spice racks—were added to make this space both perfectly attuned to the needs of the homeowners and a visual masterpiece.

What began as a dated primary bathroom and undersized closet evolved into a light-filled retreat designed around the homeowners' lifestyle. The original space featured a large built-in tub, oversized shower enclosure, limited storage, and an inefficient closet layout that no longer met the family's needs.
Through extensive demolition and structural modifications, the bathroom and closet were completely reconfigured to maximize both function and beauty. Walls were removed, storage was reimagined, and every square foot was carefully planned to create a more open, luxurious experience.
The finished space features a freestanding soaking tub positioned beneath expansive windows, a custom walk-in shower wrapped in marble-look porcelain, warm brass fixtures and hardware, custom cabinetry, and a fully tailored dressing room with dedicated storage for clothing, shoes, and accessories. Soft neutral finishes, elegant lighting, and thoughtfully layered details create a timeless primary suite designed to feel like a private retreat.
