Gutting and renovating this 1921 home near DC was a challenge, but we couldn't be more excited about the final product! With serious structural issues and an abundance of water underneath the foundation (or lack thereof), we had to add footers and waterproofing to ensure this beauty stood the test of time. We decided to honor the home's historical elements and existing footprints to match the surroundings, while keeping the exterior facade intact. Bringing this home back to life was truly an unforgettable experience!

An Arts & Crafts Bungalow is one of my favorite styles of homes. We have quite a few of them in our Stockton Mid-Town area. And when C&L called us to help them remodel their 1923 American Bungalow, I was beyond thrilled.
As per usual, when we get a new inquiry, we quickly Google the project location while we are talking to you on the phone. My excitement escalated when I saw the Google Earth Image of the sweet Sage Green bungalow in Mid-Town Stockton. "Yes, we would be interested in working with you," I said trying to keep my cool.
But what made it even better was meeting C&L and touring their home, because they are the nicest young couple, eager to make their home period perfect. Unfortunately, it had been slightly molested by some bad house-flippers, and we needed to bring the bathroom back to it "roots."
We knew we had to banish the hideous brown tile and cheap vanity quickly. But C&L complained about the condensation problems and the constant fight with mold. This immediately told me that improper remodeling had occurred and we needed to remedy that right away.
The Before: Frustrations with a Botched Remodel
The bathroom needed to be brought back to period appropriate design with all the functionality of a modern bathroom. We thought of things like marble countertop, white mosaic floor tiles, white subway tile, board and batten molding, and of course a fabulous wallpaper.
This small (and only) bathroom on a tight budget required a little bit of design sleuthing to figure out how we could get the proper look and feel. Our goal was to determine where to splurge and where to economize and how to complete the remodel as quickly as possible because C&L would have to move out while construction was going on.
The Process: Hard Work to Remedy Design and Function
During our initial design study, (which included 2 hours in the owners’ home), we noticed framed images of William Morris Arts and Crafts textile patterns and knew this would be our design inspiration. We presented C&L with three options and they quickly selected the Pimpernel Design Concept.
We had originally selected the Black and Olive colors with a black vanity, mirror, and black and white floor tile. C&L liked it but weren’t quite sure about the black, We went back to the drawing board and decided the William & Co Pimpernel Wallpaper in Bayleaf and Manilla color with a softer gray painted vanity and mirror and white floor tile was more to their liking.
After the Design Concept was approved, we went to work securing the building permit, procuring all the elements, and scheduling our trusted tradesmen to perform the work.
We did uncover some shoddy work by the flippers such as live electrical wires hidden behind the wall, plumbing venting cut-off and buried in the walls (hence the constant dampness), the tub barely balancing on two fence boards across the floor joist, and no insulation on the exterior wall.
All of the previous blunders were fixed and the bathroom put back to its previous glory. We could feel the house thanking us for making it pretty again.
The After Reveal: Cohesive Design Decisions
We selected a simple white subway tile for the tub/shower. This is always classic and in keeping with the style of the house.
We selected a pre-fab vanity and mirror, but they look rich with the quartz countertop. There is much more storage in this small vanity than you would think.
The Transformation: A Period Perfect Refresh
We began the remodel just as the pandemic reared and stay-in-place orders went into effect. As C&L were already moved out and living with relatives, we got the go-ahead from city officials to get the work done (after all, how can you shelter in place without a bathroom?).
All our tradesmen were scheduled to work so that only one crew was on the job site at a time. We stayed on the original schedule with only a one week delay.
The end result is the sweetest little bathroom I've ever seen (and I can't wait to start work on C&L's kitchen next).
Thank you for joining me in this project transformation. I hope this inspired you to think about being creative with your design projects, determining what works best in keeping with the architecture of your space, and carefully assessing how you can have the best life in your home.

Enter a ‘Modern Chic’ serene and luxurious oasis, where every detail has been thoughtfully designed to create a captivating bathroom experience. The walls are covered with classic white subway tiles, adding a timeless charm to the space. At your feet, a mesmerizing black hexagon charcoal floor starts from the entrance all the way to the back, nicely climbing up the shower wall. Furthermore, it’s a striking and modern touch that immediately catches your eye.
Relaxation Starts Here
Approaching the shower area, you can’t help but feel a sense of excitement. A sleek glass sliding door begs you to step inside and enjoy a refreshing shower. Easily gliding open, it offers both privacy and a spacious open feel to the room.
Take a moment to appreciate the elegant fixtures and faucets in a warm bronze finish. Their subtle glow beautifully complements the white tiles, adding a touch of sophistication and style. In addition, each tap and handle reflects meticulous attention to detail, showcasing the careful craftsmanship that went into creating this exquisite bathroom.
Attention on You
Turn your attention to the vanity area, where a mirror has built-in lighting. The soft glow creates a flattering ambiance, casting a warm and inviting light across the entire bathroom. It should be noted, the mirror not only serves its practical purpose but also adds a touch of glamour and elegance to the space, enhancing your daily morning routine.
Now, focus on the custom-made vanity cabinet, expertly crafted from dark walnut. The rich, luxurious wood exudes timeless beauty and sophistication. Additionally, it offers ample storage and space, cleverly designed to keep all your essentials organized and within easy reach. Sitting atop the cabinet is a stunning white slab counter with delicate grey veins across its surface.
Elegant Lighting
To enhance the overall atmosphere, recessed LED lights have been strategically placed throughout the bathroom. Casting a soft glow, highlighting the textures, colors, and architectural features. Clearly, the combination of light and shadow creates a captivating visual effect, adding depth and dimension to the space.
This detailed designed bathroom harmoniously blends style and functionality, creating a haven of beauty and relaxation. It invites you to unwind and escape from the outside world. Subsequently, immerse yourself in this captivating bathroom experience, where every element has been carefully curated to provide a serene and rejuvenating environment.

This home has so many great elements, but fun pops of color in each space really add to the excitement! There isn’t a specific design style in this home, we really pulled from so many different influences, everyone can find something to like in this one!

Once again, we have had the pleasure of working with this outstanding builder on another project. Aaron Mauk not only designed but supplied and installed all the cabinetry in this new home which definitely utilizes an "open" design concept throughout. Unique lighting elements are found in every room which keeps every space fun and exciting. The kitchen uses grey tones to create a cool, clean environment that showcases the breathtaking ceilings. Most of the cabinetry in the house is shown in Marsh’s “Graphite” stain on maple wood, which is a beautiful way of tying the whole home together. This home is not only beautiful, but it is functional as well. The pull down closet rods found in the laundry room extend over the washer and dryer so it can be used when needed, but easily stored out of the way when not in use.

A detached office structure plus a large fully covered patio completely transforms a small yet still underutilized backyard space into a functional and lush oasis.
Xeriscaping with drought tolerant succulents create an ultra-low maintenance landscape that still feels teeming with life and excitement.
Earthen boulders, water features, fire pits, and windchimes shaped as birdhouses complete the family's request to incorporate the 4 Natural Elements into the design.

Overview
Whole house refurbishment, double storey wrap around extension and large loft conversion.
The Brief
Create a WOW factor space, add glamour and fun and give the house a street side and garden side, both different.
Our Solution
This project was exciting from the start, the client wanted to entertain in a WOW factor space, have a panoramic view of the garden (which was to be landscaped), add bedrooms and a great master suite.
We had some key elements to introduce such as an aquarium separating two rooms; double height spaces and a gloss kitchen, all of which manifest themselves in the completed scheme.
Architecture is a process taking a schedule of areas, some key desires and needs, mixing the functionality and creating space.
New spaces transform a house making it more valuable, giving it kerb appeal and making it feel like a different building. All of which happened at Ailsa Road.

Our Louisville clients were proud new home owners who were excited to move into their home and start personalizing! We created a transitional design for their home that incorporates modern touches and classic lines to tie the spaces together. Our primary focus was to update the home and keep things feeling clean and fresh while making it comfortable for everyone in the family. We started by painting every room in their home, replacing all of their interior doors, and updating all of their light fixtures. One of the most transformative elements was the updated flooring throughout the home. We removed the oak floors and replaced them with a wide plank solid hickory which removed the yellow undertones and gave them a clean backdrop for the rest of the design. The clients really wanted to freshen up their kitchen and incorporate new appliances without starting from scratch, so we rearranged a few of their existing cabinets to make room for their new stove and range hood. We also lowered the original bar-height counter to make the kitchen feel more open to their family room. We then painted all of their cabinets a crisp white, replaced the crown molding, updated the hardware, replaced their counter top with a marble look quartz, and used a soft green mosaic tile on their backsplash. This home has a large family room, and the original fireplace was far too small and seemed to disappear under the 20 foot ceilings. So we removed the old square fireplace, replacing it with a linear gas fireplace and a floor-to-ceiling tiled surround with a custom wood mantle. This created a real focal point and helped to anchor the space. We then brought in a cozy blue sectional and a soft new rug to make this the perfect place for a family movie night. The clients have a real love of music, and wanted to create a space where they could lay back and enjoy their vinyls. So in their family room we created a custom stereo wall with floating cabinets and shelves to house all of their audio equipment and showcase a few of their favorites. We then furnished the room with clean and classically inspired pieces to tie in with the aesthetics in the rest of the home.

This 14,000 square foot Holmby Hills residence was an exciting opportunity to play with its classical footprint while adding in modern elements creating a customized home with a mixture of casual and formal spaces throughout.

This design was for a light-hearted couple who were relocating from the coast to Kelowna and were excited to be involved in the design process. We worked together to integrate their desires and our thoughtful design elements.
Embracing the small footprint of the kitchen we structured the space with a dropped Rist white oak wood ceiling feature with black pendant accent lighting. The kitchen also features waterfall edge quartz counters, a walk-in pantry, Wolf professional appliances and the clients must have high-end wine fridge.
The kitchen seamlessly flows through to the dining room and open concept living room featuring a concrete fireplace with a white oak beam to keep them warm and cozy through the winter season.
The staircase includes thoughtful recessed step lights with the black metal railing pairing perfectly with the layered linens and whites of the home.
The master bath features soft gloss Zellige Artisanal tile with a natural edge giving that hand-made feel. The backlit shower niche has a miter edge tile.
Vanity wall sconces added the finishing touch on this space.

A happy east coast family gets their perfect second home on the west coast.
This family of 6 was a true joy to work with from start to finish. They were very excited to have a home reflecting the true west coast sensibility: ocean tones mixed with neutrals, modern art and playful elements, and of course durability and comfort for all the kids and guests. The pool area and kitchen got total overhauls (thanks to Jeff with Black Cat Construction) and we added a fun wine closet below the staircase. They trusted the vision of the design and made few requests for changes. And the end result was even better than they expected.
