Homesteads are about function as much as beauty, and button bush delivers on both fronts. Its willingness to grow in wet areas makes it perfect for landscape spots that other plants avoid. Those damp corners aren’t wasted space when you plant button bush — they become intentional, lively parts of your yard.
The shrub’s dense form also doubles as a natural screen or border. Planted in groups, button bush makes a soft edge against lawns, gardens, or pathways. Its rounded shape and textured blooms maintain structure without feeling overly formal. That’s especially nice in landscapes that lean toward natural design.
But function doesn’t end there. In wetter areas, button bush helps reduce erosion and standing water. Its roots absorb moisture and give soil something to cling to, which makes it a practical choice in drainage swales or near water features. Pollinators and wildlife find value here too — that’s an added bonus that makes landscapes feel balanced and alive.
If your homestead includes gardens, fields, or natural plantings, button bush fits right in. It holds space well, supports life, and brings seasonal interest without demanding constant care — qualities that make it a smart, functional choice.

In order to make the laundry room more functional, we brought in a contractor to frame around the washer and dryer and add a matching granite countertop for folding laundry. We also added a sink and faucet to the counter on the left, making this whole laundry room function much better for the homeowner.

A custom mudroom design featuring a built-in bench, upper cabinetry, and dedicated drop zone storage. This practical entryway remodel enhances organization while maintaining a cohesive look with the adjacent kitchen renovation.

We are beyond excited to share one of our most recent kitchen remodels for a lovely couple in Delmar, led by Project Manager, Steve Drozdyk. Our clients wanted their kitchen to be as functional as it was beautiful, with storage as a top priority. Steve knew our talented Designer, Sarah McDonald, would be the perfect copilot to run this transformation. This design features rich naval cabinets that anchor the space, paired with sage green cabinets in the peninsula area for a soft yet striking contrast. These color choices bring warmth and personality to the space while maintaining a sophisticated and timeless appeal. To maximize storage, we extended the cabinetry all the way to the ceiling. The extra height not only provided more storage but also made the room feel more open and spacious. For added texture and visual interest, our Lead Carpenter, Larry Yerdon, incorporated a unique three-color tile backsplash that brings depth and character to the space. The colors and hardware were carried into the attached laundry room ensuring a cohesive design. The result is a kitchen that’s as functional as it is fabulous offering storage solutions that don’t compromise on style. Our clients were so thrilled with the results, we’ve already started on their bathroom renovation. Give us a call – let’s make your dream space a reality!

A side mounted metal condiment rollout can be specified in a variety of widths. In this example a 12" wide cabinet was fitted with the cabinet accessory. This allowed all of the large spice bottles in the homeowners collection to be stored on the top shelf. Misc. items found a home in the bottom shelf.

This project showcases a thoughtfully designed space blending modern functionality with timeless elegance. The Savoy Azula 12x24 Flooring provides a striking foundation, complemented by LATICRETE Frosty Grout for a seamless finish. Helix Quartz accents and Niche Shelves and Walls offer stylish and practical storage options. Fixtures like the Lumicoat Shower Head and Brilliance Polished Nickel Faucet bring a sleek, modern aesthetic, while Honey Bronze Fixtures and Knobs add warmth and sophistication. Features such as the Beveled Mirror, Shower Bench, and Marble Gem Tile enhance the space with classic touches and luxurious materials. The addition of Venetian Plaster adds texture and depth to the walls, while the Water Closet Wall Cabinet Elevation and Vanity Elevation with Mirror and Lighting optimize storage and functionality. The result is a refined, well-balanced design that combines comfort, style, and efficiency.

A deep drawer can be divided to store larger sized condiments. This one in stainless steel can easily be wiped down if a spill occurs.

In this project, our client had specific goals and desires for her bathroom renovation to accommodate her changing needs. She requested a roll-in shower with an ADA accessible vanity along with custom storage that fit her farmhouse aesthetics. This presented a unique opportunity to build a custom storage piece that fit her exact use of the space. We completed this project in two phases so that our homeowners would not be without a functioning bathroom for more than a few days at a time. The shower build and tile work was done in Phase I and the vanity and storage unit was completed in Phase II.
We designed the vanity with a lowered countertop height on one end for easier access to the sink and a roll under countertop hidden behind cabinet doors. The barn door is situated to slide to cover either the closet for privacy or the shower opening to prevent steam from escaping. The two-toned cabinets were selected to create interest and depth since the unit is so large, and the white vessel sinks contrast beautifully with the dark granite countertop and linear stone backsplash. The finished product was a truly customized bathroom that maximized space, function, mobility, and design.

The owners of this bustling family home in Toronto wanted a space that was functional for the children and adults alike. We incorporated a eat-in area on the peninsula, a separate desk area for children to do their homework, as well as a custom coat cabinet by the entryway door.
The window was covered in glass block and range hood installed forward of the window.

For taller cooks a condiment pullout in an upper cabinet is the perfect solution. This puts items at eye level for easy retrieval.

Many families ponder the idea of adding extra living space for a few years before they are actually ready to remodel. Then, all-of-the sudden, something will happen that makes them realize that they can’t wait any longer. In the case of this remodeling story, it was the snowstorm of 2016 that spurred the homeowners into action. As the family was stuck in the house with nowhere to go, they longed for more space. The parents longed for a getaway spot for themselves that could also double as a hangout area for the kids and their friends. As they considered their options, there was one clear choice…to renovate the detached garage.
The detached garage previously functioned as a workshop and storage room and offered plenty of square footage to create a family room, kitchenette, and full bath. It’s location right beside the outdoor kitchen made it an ideal spot for entertaining and provided an easily accessible bathroom during the summertime. Even the canine family members get to enjoy it as they have their own personal entrance, through a bathroom doggie door.
Our design team listened carefully to our client’s wishes to create a space that had a modern rustic feel and found selections that fit their aesthetic perfectly. To set the tone, Blackstone Oak luxury vinyl plank flooring was installed throughout. The kitchenette area features Maple Shaker style cabinets in a pecan shell stain, Uba Tuba granite countertops, and an eye-catching amber glass and antique bronze pulley sconce. Rather than use just an ordinary door for the bathroom entry, a gorgeous Knotty Alder barn door creates a stunning focal point of the room.
The fantastic selections continue in the full bath. A reclaimed wood double vanity with a gray washed pine finish anchors the room. White, semi-recessed sinks with chrome faucets add some contemporary accents, while the glass and oil-rubbed bronze mini pendant lights are a balance between both rustic and modern. The design called for taking the shower tile to the ceiling and it really paid off. A sliced pebble tile floor in the shower is curbed with Uba Tuba granite, creating a clean line and another accent detail.
The new multi-functional space looks like a natural extension of their home, with its matching exterior lights, new windows, doors, and sliders. And with winter approaching and snow on the way, this family is ready to hunker down and ride out the storm in comfort and warmth. When summer arrives, they have a designated bathroom for outdoor entertaining and a wonderful area for guests to hang out.
It was a pleasure to create this beautiful remodel for our clients and we hope that they continue to enjoy it for many years to come.
