Living room - large contemporary formal and enclosed living room idea in Phoenix with beige walls, a corner fireplace, a stone fireplace and a media wall

This garden paradise in Ijamsville, Maryland is packed with a huge variety of shrubs, perennials and ground covers to assure that there is always something interesting to see. Lots of natural step stones give these gardens a soft feel and a great way to take a stroll.

This elegant beige Harlequin rug features an intricate floral design, carefully woven using wefts of viscose in shades of white, purple and gold. The viscose lends a silk-like feel and a beautiful shimmer under light. Florals are always a timeless choice; place in your living room or bedroom for a chic, feminine touch. This rug has been handtufted from pure new wool which ensures that the pile is luxuriously dense and soft to touch. Wool is a very durable material that is naturally flame retardant, so you can feel assured that this rug is as practical as it is stylish.

In the dining room, the old French doors were removed and replaced with a modern, black metal French door system. This added a focal point to the room and set the tone for a Mid-Century, minimalist feel.

The laundry room might be small but the color choice and furniture arrangement keeps everything clean and compact. The white color choice adds a spacious and airy feel. The cabinetry on the top assures more storage. For countertop here is white granite.

This project was completed for clients who wanted a comfortable, accessible 1ST floor bathroom for their grown daughter to use during visits to their home as well as a nicely-appointed space for any guest. Their daughter has some accessibility challenges so the bathroom was also designed with that in mind. The original space worked fairly well in some ways, but we were able to tweak a few features to make the space even easier to maneuver through. We started by making the entry to the shower flush so that there is no curb to step over. In addition, although there was an existing oversized seat in the shower, it was way too deep and not comfortable to sit on and just wasted space. We made the shower a little smaller and then provided a fold down teak seat that is slip resistant, warm and comfortable to sit on and can flip down only when needed. Thus we were able to create some additional storage by way of open shelving to the left of the shower area. The open shelving matches the wood vanity and allows a spot for the homeowners to display heirlooms as well as practical storage for things like towels and other bath necessities. We carefully measured all the existing heights and locations of countertops, toilet seat, and grab bars to make sure that we did not undo the things that were already working well. We added some additional hidden grab bars or “grabcessories” at the toilet paper holder and shower shelf for an extra layer of assurance. Large format, slip-resistant floor tile was added eliminating as many grout lines as possible making the surface less prone to tripping. We used a wood look tile as an accent on the walls, and open storage in the vanity allowing for easy access for clean towels. Bronze fixtures and frameless glass shower doors add an elegant yet homey feel that was important for the homeowner. A pivot mirror allows adjustability for different users. If you are interested in designing a bathroom featuring “Living In Place” or accessibility features, give us a call to find out more.

This hall bath was the perfect spot to make a fun statement. The new bath features heated flooring, new chandelier, new soaking tub with tile surround and wallpaper. Because the homeowner is a bath lover, they opted to not install a shower here, but instead use the space to create a fun, spa-like feel.

The homeowner opted for a minimalistic quartz countertop to allow for that clean, modern Scandinavian feel. The look is completed with the black and gold lighting, brushed gold faucet and hardware.
