The interior of the Bunkhouse has an open and inviting feel to give the mountain feel of adventure that guests are looking for. The community kitchen in the hostel features an open floor layout where it also connects to the living room and outside.

This one is near and dear to my heart. Not only is it in my own backyard, it is also the first remodel project I've gotten to do for myself! This space was previously a detached two car garage in our backyard. Seeing it transform from such a utilitarian, dingy garage to a bright and cheery little retreat was so much fun and so rewarding! This space was slated to be an AirBNB from the start and I knew I wanted to design it for the adventure seeker, the savvy traveler, and those who appreciate all the little design details . My goal was to make a warm and inviting space that our guests would look forward to coming back to after a full day of exploring the city or gorgeous mountains and trails that define the Pacific Northwest. I also wanted to make a few bold choices, like the hunter green kitchen cabinets or patterned tile, because while a lot of people might be too timid to make those choice for their own home, who doesn't love trying it on for a few days?At the end of the day I am so happy with how it all turned out!

Like its namesake, the beloved Sleeping Beauty, this home embodies family, fantasy and adventure in their truest form. Visions are seldom what they seem, but this home did begin 'Once Upon a Dream'. Welcome, to The Aurora.

Trying to find a quiet corner in one's house for an office can be tough, but it also can be an adventure! Reworking spaces in our homes so that they work better for our families as they grow and change is something we all need to do from time to time-- and it can give your house a new lease on life. One room that took on a new identity in this old farmhouse was the third floor attic space--a room that is much like a treehouse with its small footprint, high perch, lofty views of the landscape, and sloping ceiling. The space has been many things over the past two decades- a bedroom, a guest room, a hang-out for kids... but NOW it is the 'world headquarters' for my client's business. :) Adding all the funky touches that make it a cozy personal space made all the difference...like lots of live green plants, vintage original artwork, architectural salvage window sashes, a repurposed and repainted dresser from the 1940's, and, of course, my client's favorite photos.

In addition to the elegantly exotic appeal of this color combo, blue and white are very compatible in terms of color theory. Blue is associated with feelings of tranquility and calmness, and white promotes a soft and airy ambiance. The result is a color palette that is adventurous and versatile, aligning perfectly with the design direction for this residential interior design project.

Kids' room - coastal kids' room idea in Amsterdam

Designed for two growing boys, this shared bedroom balances youthful personality with a sophisticated aesthetic that can evolve for years to come. The design combines tailored furnishings, rich textures, and subtle adventure-inspired elements to create a space that feels both fun and refined.

Within this comfortably cozy mountain retreat filled with natural light, Siemasko + Verbridge has created a space ideal for entertaining and showcasing the surrounding mountain views. Located in Sugarbush, Vermont, a refined alpine style creates a relaxed and inviting environment. Reclaimed beams and earthy materials emit a feeling of warmth throughout the condo and the fireplace, faced with local Vermont stone, is perfect for curling up in front of after outdoor adventures. The team drew inspiration from the condo’s slope-side setting, infusing the space with playful reminders of the wilderness outdoors: stag print pillows, snowflakes on the dining chairs and skiing scenes depicted on the walls as you head upstairs. Siemasko +Verbridge’s family-friendly design accommodates ample space for gear and ski storage, durable fabrics and easy-to-maintain furnishings. Coarser textiles such as antler chandeliers are balanced with softer materials like nubby pillows and knit throws providing an interesting juxtaposition of textural elements. Customized cabinetry, expansive windows and reclaimed local materials enhance the character of this slope-side chalet and redefines contemporary mountain living. Photographer: Westphalen Photography

A fire pit is an ideal addition to a family backyard as it opens up the garden for year-round enjoyment, a chance to escape outside and reconnect with nature. A curved seat wall encloses the fire pit area and follows the line of the firepit, providing a practical surface as well as an attractive visual element. Hand-cut Tennessee fieldstone was used here, with a pea gravel floor giving a comforting feel underfoot. ZoomWorks

The stair to the apartment and it's entrance were in the foreground here a very narrow hall entry into the main home's kitchen. We expanded the opening to the kitchen for a more open feeling and added a pet/boot bath since the woods and yard were a must for this outdoorsy and adventurous family.
