Bedroom - large coastal master light wood floor and brown floor bedroom idea in Vancouver with gray walls, a standard fireplace and a stone fireplace

Stunning Haymarket Basement Remodel. Our customers knew they wanted their basement to be multi-functional, to be able to entertain family and friends, and, to provide plenty of seating options for the big game or movie night. The result is a space large enough to accommodate guests at a large wet bar, a seating nook for a meal, plenty of comfy couch space for watching the big game, and a fun kids area off to the side. We especially love the back lighting around the fireplace and TV in the main seating area! A warm, comfortable, and fun place to spend plenty of time all year round.

Creating your outdoor living space means claiming your own little slice of nature and customizing it to suit your lifestyle and enhance your daily routine. Sometimes there is nothing more relaxing than sitting on your favorite patio chair, feeling the warm sun mixed with a cool breeze, and smelling the fragrant flowers blossoming in your garden. Imagine how much more time you would spend outside if you had your very own cabana, bungalow, pergola, sunroom or pool house to enjoy! Think of all the ways an outdoor room could enhance your Southern California lifestyle and prime your home for entertaining guests year-round.

Inspiration for an eclectic living room remodel in Nashville

This home outside of Philadelphia was designed to be family friendly and comfortable space and is just the place to relax and spend family time as well as have enough seating for entertaining. The living room has a large sectional to cozy up with a movie or to entertain. The historic home is bright and open all while feeling collected, comfortable and cozy. The applied box molding on the living room wall adds a subtle pattern all while being a striking focal point for the room. The grand foyer is fresh and inviting and uncluttered and allows for ample space for guests to be welcomed to the home. The kitchen was refreshed to include a contrasting toned island, blue backsplash tile and bright brass fixtures and lighting

Designed with an open floor plan and layered outdoor spaces, the Onaway is a perfect cottage for narrow lakefront lots. The exterior features elements from both the Shingle and Craftsman architectural movements, creating a warm cottage feel. An open main level skillfully disguises this narrow home by using furniture arrangements and low built-ins to define each spaces’ perimeter. Every room has a view to each other as well as a view of the lake. The cottage feel of this home’s exterior is carried inside with a neutral, crisp white, and blue nautical themed palette. The kitchen features natural wood cabinetry and a long island capped by a pub height table with chairs. Above the garage, and separate from the main house, is a series of spaces for plenty of guests to spend the night. The symmetrical bunk room features custom staircases to the top bunks with drawers built in. The best views of the lakefront are found on the master bedrooms private deck, to the rear of the main house. The open floor plan continues downstairs with two large gathering spaces opening up to an outdoor covered patio complete with custom grill pit.

This client was so much fun to design for. Their project was all about color, texture and creating a master bedroom and guest bedroom that compliments their passion for traveling and eclectic style. We created a seating area in the master bedroom where the family can gather at night to read and spend time quality time. Their desire for deep color and bold pattern allowed us to create a casual space that is both warm and inviting at the end of a long day. Guests often visit and stay for a bit. They wanted to give their family and friends the same cozy feel in their guest bedroom. We were able to use a combination of patterns, textures and colors with our custom-made bedding and pillows. We also love to repurpose where we can and painted furniture is a great place to start. The depth of color used here is a true reflection of our clients' warm and friendly personality that says "welcome to our home."

Inspiration for a victorian bathroom remodel in Los Angeles with recessed-panel cabinets, red cabinets, yellow walls and an undermount sink

I have a not-so-secret desire to live in a commune on a compound. This house, a full stripped-to-the-bones and built-back-up ’80s Rancher in Lafayette, conjures that feeling tone. Situated on a quiet street, backed up to a hill, with a meadow-like yard, the remodel included a spacious back deck, open plan kitchen/breakfast/den, formal dining and living rooms, two fireplaces, multiple glass doors leading to the outside from nearly every room, and a welcoming ADU with full kitchen where homeowners and guests can hang out, do work, practice yoga, spend the night.
