Built in 2007, this Chastain Park home was not short on space, but the design was dated and lacked the sophistication the homeowners desired. Much of the first floor was included in this renovation, completed in early 2024, including the kitchen, butler’s pantry, primary bathroom and closet, and pool bath. The kitchen boasts all-new custom cabinetry, Danby marble countertops and backslash, a Sub-Zero/Wolf appliance package and stunning lighting. The ventilation hood was custom built to fit the range and has a curved shape and plaster finish to bring a softness to the space. The unique design of the island, with an integrated table, provides a casual space for weekday meals. A custom designed buffet hutch features antique mirrored glass doors and modern furniture legs. A bronze finish was selected for all metals to bring additional warmth. The large, cased opening between the kitchen and keeping room was replaced by a wood wrapped beam, creating a visual connection to the wood of the kitchen island and the wood collar ties that were added to the keeping room. The overall renovation focused heavily on creating a greater connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. The keeping room doors were replaced with a 4-panel multi-slide door and the French doors of the living room were replaced with a 14-foot accordion door which opens out on to the screened porch and overlooks a new pool. A grill station and powder bath were also added to serve the pool area.

These homeowners came to us through a recommendation from a client who was extremely happy with the work we did for them in the past. This project was in the inner city and the homeowners tore down their old house and built their new home in its place. Keeping with the charm of the original home, the main goal for the home was to make it look like a brand new 100 year old home. We were brought on to work on the entire home with the exception of the kitchen (entry, family room, ceiling work, office/ den, living room, fireplace, window trims, 5 bedrooms, and 4 bathrooms). In addition to our custom woodworking, these homeowners leaned heavily on our design suggestions. From an execution standpoint, this home was extremely detailed, and getting the balance from room to room and throughout the entire home was crucial for achieving the correct look. In addition, the methods and materials used 100 years ago have since had drastic improvements, making the lifetime and quality of the finished product substantially better, but also adding a higher degree of difficulty to accomplish accurate looking details. The end result of this project was a work of art. A home that thad the appearance of a 100 year old home, with modern materials and methods to ensure quality and longevity. Everything from their dramatic entry and staircase to their floor-to-ceiling hand-finished den showcases a skill set and eye for detail essential to accomplishing the lofty goals of this home.

What Is Modern Style? Modern style has its roots in the modernist movement of the early and mid-20th century. Modern architecture and furnishings emphasize form and structure rather than surface ornamentation — think of large expanses of glass; smooth surfaces like concrete, steel, stone and wood; and accents of chrome and black leather. Modern style is: - Clean. Excess embellishment is considered a distraction and to be avoided. Think crisp, clean and sculptural. Shapes are strong, with clearly defined lines and planes. - Architectural. Furnishings echo rather than distract attention from the architecture for a seamless look. - Minimal. Modern style embraces negative space with spare furnishings and little color or pattern. Modern style is not: - Ornamented. A reaction against heavily ornamented traditional styles, this look embraces simplicity of form. - Trendy. Unlike contemporary style, which taps into up-to-the-minute changes in the design world, modern design feels more securely rooted. - Cluttered. Furnishings are chosen with care, and accessories are kept to a minimum for a clean, spacious look.

Of utmost importance to this client was a home boasting an elegant vibe – highlighting sophisticated furnishings without pretension – but with little-to-no-maintenance. Throughout the house, the designers incorporated performance fabrics that are sustainable for pets and children, offering an elegant ease that transitions from outdoor to indoor. They also focused heavily on the convenience factor, bringing the home deep into technology with media seating for a true media room; custom motorized shades in every room; TVs that reveal with a simple push of a button; and even desks that transition from a standing to seated position. Of course, you can’t have convenience without some glamour, and a former sitting room that was converted into a dressing room will make any woman’s eyes pop with envy. The to-die-for closet features power rods that float down for easy reach, a dressing mirror with wings that fold in and LED lights that change colors, a bench covered in couture fabric for distinctive perching, decadent carpeting and tons of shoe storage.

This piece is loaded with character! Applied Annie Sloan White Chalk Paint and heavily distressed. Now has a worn, rustic feel. In true Chippendale style the top is adorned by rosettes and a carved finial. Behind the fantastic doors are 2 shelves that are double grooved for dishes. Three shelves total for displaying items. The drawer below opens and closes smoothly. The double doors open to a nice sized storage area. I could not leave the upper doors open when photographing. Too windy that day. You can see that I left the insides as is. I love the contrast and how items pop. I would certainly paint the upper interior if that was an issue. All the original hardware is in it's original finish with great aged, patina. The piece is in very good vintage condition. A sturdy piece. Perfect for your Cottage, Farmhouse, Shabby Chic décor! I would love this as bath storage as well as in a dining, living room or your home office. Stands 79" to the top of the finial. 68" to the top of the back. 35" across and 15 1/2" wide.

The primary goal for this project was to craft a modernist derivation of pueblo architecture. Set into a heavily laden boulder hillside, the design also reflects the nature of the stacked boulder formations. The site, located near local landmark Pinnacle Peak, offered breathtaking views which were largely upward, making proximity an issue. Maintaining southwest fenestration protection and maximizing views created the primary design constraint. The views are maximized with careful orientation, exacting overhangs, and wing wall locations. The overhangs intertwine and undulate with alternating materials stacking to reinforce the boulder strewn backdrop. The elegant material palette and siting allow for great harmony with the native desert. The Elegant Modern at Estancia was the collaboration of many of the Valley's finest luxury home specialists. Interiors guru David Michael Miller contributed elegance and refinement in every detail. Landscape architect Russ Greey of Greey | Pickett contributed a landscape design that not only complimented the architecture, but nestled into the surrounding desert as if always a part of it. And contractor Manship Builders -- Jim Manship and project manager Mark Laidlaw -- brought precision and skill to the construction of what architect C.P. Drewett described as "a watch."

This bathroom started as a dark and heavily dated space with aging finishes and years of moisture damage. The original tub/shower surround, popcorn ceiling, worn yellow flooring, and bulky wood vanity made the room feel small, tired, and neglected. Patchwork surfaces, mismatched elements, and mold growth on the ceiling highlighted the homeowner’s need for a complete transformation—both cosmetically and structurally. The space was reimagined into a Modern Transitional retreat that feels bright, clean, and thoughtfully designed. The new layout and materials completely elevated the room: Large-format charcoal tiles create a sleek, modern backdrop in the shower. A deep gray vanity with brass hardware adds warmth and sophistication. The patterned floor tile introduces a bold, graphic element that brings the design to life. A round black-framed mirror and updated lighting deliver softness and balance. Fresh paint, a new quartz top, upgraded fixtures, and concealed storage create functional improvement and visual calm. The result is a bathroom that blends modern textures with timeless finishes—turning a previously outdated room into an inviting, stylish retreat.
