Transforming key spaces in a home can really change the overall look and feel, especially in main living areas such as a kitchen or primary bathroom! Our goal was to create a bright, fresh, and timeless design in each space. We accomplished this by incorporating white cabinetry and by swapping out the small, seemingly useless island for a large and much more functional peninsula. And to transform the primary bathroom into a serene sanctuary, we incorporated a new open and spacious glass shower enclosure as well as a luxurious free-standing soaking tub, perfect for ultimate relaxation.

Gaspipe open shelves are a beautiful and functional element in this design concept. Reclaimed wood shelves are an organic & warm contrast to the cool appearance of the galvanized steel. Buras Photography #design #steel #concept #contrasts #appearances #shelves #elements

This master bath layout was large, but awkward, with faux Grecian columns flanking a huge corner tub. He prefers showers; she always bathes. This traditional bath had an outdated appearance and had not worn well over time. The owners sought a more personalized and inviting space with increased functionality. The new design provides a larger shower, free-standing tub, increased storage, a window for the water-closet and a large combined walk-in closet. This contemporary spa-bath offers a dedicated space for each spouse and tremendous storage. The white dimensional tile catches your eye – is it wallpaper OR tile? You have to see it to believe!

Glamorous without ever feeling formal. Champagne, walnut, and aged brass — chosen for how they shift in Florida light. Grasscloth against fluted millwork, honed marble against bouclé. Lighting designed as architecture, not accessory, so the glow lives inside the room itself. Alina Residences, Boca Raton.

Fireplace Update: The living room’s updated fireplace brings cozy sophistication with its whitewashed brick surround and deep wood mantel. Open corner shelving adds warmth and functionality, tying in natural wood tones seen throughout the home. The rich flooring and neutral wall palette create an inviting foundation for relaxation and gathering.
