Inspired by another mid-century modern home the client owned, this new residence represents a much larger 21st-century version built into the gently sloping hillside to take advantage of the sprawling hilltop views of the Sonoma valley. The quiet front facade leads guests into a formal entry that divides the house into private and public spaces. Rounding the corner into the great room, one is immediately hit by the breathtaking view that extends outward beyond the infinity pool and deck through a continuous wall of glass. In the opposite direction, each of the three bedrooms was designed with its own seating area and bathroom, creating private suites for family members and guests alike. The linear design and open, flowing living spaces provide almost every room with outdoor access to the expansive patio, protected from the Sonoma heat by deep overhangs. Warm woods, clean lines, and a rhythmic post and beam ceiling design create a homey feeling of rest and relaxation, evoking the essence of modern California living.

Pairing their love of Mid-Century Modern design and collecting with the enjoyment they get out of entertaining at home, this client’s kitchen remodel in Linda Vista hit all the right notes. Set atop a hillside with sweeping views of the city below, the first priority in this remodel was to open up the kitchen space to take full advantage of the view and create a seamless transition between the kitchen, dining room, and outdoor living space. A primary wall was removed and a custom peninsula/bar area was created to house the client’s extensive collection of glassware and bar essentials on a sleek shelving unit suspended from the ceiling and wrapped around the base of the peninsula. Light wood cabinetry with a retro feel was selected and provided the perfect complement to the unique backsplash which extended the entire length of the kitchen, arranged to create a distinct ombre effect that concentrated behind the Wolf range. Subtle brass fixtures and pulls completed the look while panels on the built in refrigerator created a consistent flow to the cabinetry. Additionally, a frosted glass sliding door off of the kitchen disguises a dedicated laundry room full of custom finishes. Raised built-in cabinetry houses the washer and dryer to put everything at eye level, while custom sliding shelves that can be hidden when not in use lessen the need for bending and lifting heavy loads of laundry. Other features include built-in laundry sorter and extensive storage.

Tower Paddle Boards, or Tower (as in a lifeguard tower), is a dedicated stand up paddle boarding brand started by Stephan Aarstol and later funded by Shark Tank icon Mark Cuban on ABC's hit show. Simply Stunning Spaces has had the absolute pleasure of watching this company grow from their small office space in Pacific Beach to expanding their warehouse space and most recently gaining a prominent location on one of San Diego's most recognizable streets, Garnet Ave. This space had a long ways to go to becoming something simply stunning but the end result was just that. By removing the ceiling tiles and opening up to the 15 foot ceilings hidden away we were able to maximize the square footage of the office, gain a second floor of office space and dedicate the bottom floor to retail and event space for the SUP community to enjoy. Some of our favorite features: the 31 foot Tower mural inside the glass enclosed private work space, the outdoor painted signage, the sand blasted ceilings which were definitely worth it! The exposed duct work add to its industrial feel and the glass enclosed shaping room in the window is an absolute show stopper! The bar we built for the previous office space fit just perfectly in the new space. We love repurposing whenever we can and the dedicated niche we built to house all the really cool awards and recognitions the owner and company have received were well deserving of being highlighted. It's not too often you can say you've been in Inc magazine, Forbes, 20/20... just to name a few!

A place where we gather to chat, drink wine, do homework, even cook sometimes ... a kitchen. Or, the core of a house - one place that is never avoided by any dweller. In this modern kitchen, with a farm house twist, I played with textures more than colors. White palette with grey tones are softened by green stools, a sisal rug and Turkish towels. Natural flowers are never a bad idea (daisies hit the spot for me this morning). Textured quartz on the island really made a difference in this space. It bonded the floor and counter top through these organic textures and wave-like ripples. A really interesting way to unify the hard and solid surfaces. The sheepskin completed the farm house look and maybe even gave it a Nordic feel. Welcome! Photography: Hale Production Studios

Sometimes you just need to hit the refresh button! Beautiful Kitchen Remodel maximizing the current footprint and achieving the open concept. Removal of a non load barring wall allowed the customer to achieve a more open feel as well as additional cabinetry, complete with custom cubbies on the back side. Full Quartz Stone Backsplash is a cherry on top.

For the Kamp's we added a covered patio with a corner fireplace and stone column. The existing house formed a "U" shaped patio that the afternoon sun hit hard. Attaching the structure to the house and extending it out further we were able to provide a very usable outdoor living area, it feels like an indoor living room. The ceiling is a beautiful stained tongue and grove while all the exterior is hardi plank painted to match the house. The tin roof for the covered patio and the rest of the house was install by Allegiance Roofing. The fireplace and 36" tall stone column are constructed out of Austin Limestone.

We added a lot of cabinetry to the kitchen, but the former table was not really pulling its weight and my client, who is small in stature, hoped to get her dishes out of upper cabinets and into drawers. Making the island look like a piece of furniture and adding brace supports that evoke a Craftsman feel was a huge hit with my clients and her guests alike.

This home in Fort Collins was hit with hail and has to feel a lot lighter - we removed three layers of old roofing to prep for the new roof. We then installed a new Class IV impact resistant roof, using CertainTeed Northgate shingles in the color Silver Birch. We also installed all new gutters and downspouts on this home.

Fantasy Brown Leathered dolomite went into this West Columbia kitchen, and it's the kind of stone that changes how a room feels the second the light hits it. Leathered finish instead of polished, so you get texture under your hand instead of a mirror flat surface. It softens the brown and cream movement in the stone, gives it a low sheen, and hides fingerprints and water spots a lot better than a honed or polished slab would in a kitchen that actually gets used. Dolomite has that soft, warm background movement, browns and creams drifting through each other, and it holds up well against everyday acids and scratching in a working kitchen. It's still a natural stone, so we sealed it properly, and the leathered texture actually helps there, it hides the wear that would show up fast on a glass-smooth surface. Getting the veining to read right across the seams is the real work on a stone like this. We template the room, lay the slabs out, and take our time matching the movement across the corners and the seams before anything gets cut, so the pattern keeps flowing instead of jumping when you walk from one stretch of counter to the next. It's slower than pushing straight into fabrication, but it's the difference between a kitchen that looks like one slab and one that looks like pieces. Edge came out eased, clean and simple, which is the right call on a stone with this much going on in the surface. You don't need a fancy profile competing with the leathering and the movement in the dolomite, the material carries the room on its own. Day to day it lives well. Set a hot pan down and it takes it fine, though a trivet never hurts. It'll take the knocks of a working kitchen better than people expect, and the leathered texture keeps it looking good years in instead of showing every little scuff. That's the kind of project we like doing around West Columbia and the rest of the Midlands, matching the right stone to a kitchen that's going to get lived in, not just looked at.

An early-season storm hit Farragut on April 10, 2026, bringing hailstones from one inch to nearly two inches across. This home's roof was already near the end of its service life, and the hail finished it off. Heavy granule loss, nail pops, and dented gutters and downspouts told the whole story. A Smith Roofing team member noticed the damage while driving through the neighborhood and stopped to let the homeowner know. The homeowner worked with their insurance carrier, and after a few weeks the claim was settled and work began. After tear-off, the deck looked good. The replacement was proactive rather than catching active leaks. The homeowners chose Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration shingles in Peppercorn for the deeper, multi-tone look with a more textured, current feel. New ridge vents and lifetime pipe flashings went on with the roof. To finish, six-inch oversized gutters in Musket Brown were added to match the paint on the entry columns and window trim. The result fits right in with the neighborhood's warm, earth-tone palette.

Our custom "Whiskey Barrel" Hickory floors were laid throughout this 100 year old renovated farm house. The owner wanted the look of old floors without breaking his budget. Our Whiskey Barrel floors are character hickory with a custom stain and hit/miss band saw texture, giving the floors an reclaimed, rich feel.

Penny Rounds, glass backsplash and Hexagons are a beautiful and sophisticated way to create a space that allows a hopeful feel to flow throughout the space, while keeping the simplicity and elegance apart of the design. Penny rounds can be used on the floors, ceilings and walls. Here is a little food for thought... Penny rounds keep your feet from slipping in the shower due to the grout. The grout is so close, that the foot is always hitting some part of the grout, which allows the user to choose a gloss or matte penny. Both are safe to use on the shower floors and/or bathroom floors. Many ask how the more Industrial Modern bathroom's can be in the same home as the Traditional kitchen and bathroom. Part of the trick; make sure that the textures have the same undertones. Undertones are EVERYTHING! There are some colors that have a little silver in the undertone which allows warms and cools to marry together. When a silver undertone can be found, the textures and different design styles can flow with ease from room to room, creating a unique whimsical but elegant push.
