Back to the fundamentals with the Hudson Rustic Java dining set. The Hudson Graham Rectangular Dining Table relies on its trestle base to create a strong foundation. This table’s heavily distressed design conjures up the simple charm of a rustic life. It includes two 16” insert leaves that allow you to extend the length of this table as the occasion requires. The Graham Cream side chair heavy distressing recalls the pleasure of a simpler time. Just this time, it's been upholstered in linen with a padded seat and button tufted accents. This side chair also features an antique brass ring and wooden tapered legs.

This sprawling estate is an incredible sight see! Soaring coffered ceilings with gorgeous winding staircases set the stage for a grand entry. We took advantage of the classical elements of this home and built our design (at the request of our amazing clients) with a heavy nod to european traditional style. Decadent silk fabrics paired with amazingly rich wall treatments bring a luxurious feeling to every room. Heavily carved details are found on an eclectic mix of furnishings throughout the home. We incorporated some of the clients pieces from their years of collecting and traveling. Their favorite rolled arm sofa is given new life in the library once reupholstered in a cozy woven chenille. After completing the interior, it was time to get started on the grounds! We were so excited to design the exterior entertaining space which includes an outdoor kitchen, living and dining areas, pergola, bath and pool. One of our favorites for sure.

Kitchen - kitchen idea in New Orleans

The clients for this project approached SALA ‘to create a house that we will be excited to come home to’. Having lived in their house for over 20 years, they chose to stay connected to their neighborhood, and accomplish their goals by extensively remodeling their existing split-entry home.

This 1990's home, located in North Vancouver's Lynn Valley neighbourhood, had high ceilings and a great open plan layout but the decor was straight out of the 90's complete with sponge painted walls in dark earth tones. The owners, a young professional couple, enlisted our help to take it from dated and dreary to modern and bright. We started by removing details like chair rails and crown mouldings, that did not suit the modern architectural lines of the home. We replaced the heavily worn wood floors with a new high end, light coloured, wood-look laminate that will withstand the wear and tear from their two energetic golden retrievers. Since the main living space is completely open plan it was important that we work with simple consistent finishes for a clean modern look. The all white kitchen features flat doors with minimal hardware and a solid surface marble-look countertop and backsplash. We modernized all of the lighting and updated the bathrooms and master bedroom as well. The only departure from our clean modern scheme is found in the dressing room where the client was looking for a more dressed up feminine feel but we kept a thread of grey consistent even in this more vivid colour scheme. This transformation, featuring the clients' gorgeous original artwork and new custom designed furnishings is admittedly one of our favourite projects to date!

I knew we needed to make a big change in the drab brown dining room and get rid of the heavily textured walls. It all started with the blue fabric for the custom drapery, then once I found the perfect textured wool rug with oversized tassels I knew it would draw people into the room. The star of the room is definitely the large scale blue and white layered wallpaper. They style is balanced by the farmhouse table and caned back dining chairs that were custom covered in performance fabric.

Completely custom outdoor shower enclosure. 17 stained 2" x 12" cedar planks of various lengths are staggered vertically side-by-side following a curvilinear footprint maximizing privacy in and views out. The inspiration of the shower enclosure was the home itself; balancing heavily between metal and wood materials. The shower displays a rustic 'whiskey barrel' feel, constructed all custom black hammer coated bracket hardware specifically designed to make this design work. The suspended cable system is a railing cable system re-purposed to work specifically for this design.

THE LIBRARY/ BAR AREA: A Territorial Style Track Home, of 8-inch burndt adobe with mortar wash finish. The re-design included an all white interior to assist in opening the homes interior spaces to more daylight and spatial relationships. The new design accommodated a collection of family antiques as though 'fine art' strategically placed into large furniture niches to receive a particular piece, at a particular place for it's frontal view. The result was a light airy Modern series of spaces that flow together as a forms of light, shade & shadow to house (or present) the fine art pieces. Whether antiquarian books, a steinway baby grand piano, a persian rug, or heavily carved monastery chest, the all-white concept provided a beautiful yet practical placement of the many fine pieces the Homeowner's had inherited. Architect/ Professor Robert Nevins, with Michael J. Gomez (Student Draftsman).

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.

Asian influences blended with native plantings helped create this garden, which we call Prairie-fusion. Water is the main focus of the garden, which falls and flows creating both visual and audial impact. Colorful koi dot the dark waters which reflect light and landscape. Choices in construction material were made to enhance a rustic look while touches of Japanese-inspired influences were appropriately placed to introduce an exotic feel. In keeping with the traditional Japanese gardens, raked rocks and boulders simulate islands in water. While inspired by the East, the garden is rooted firmly in the Midwestern landscape, surrounded and softened by plants native to woodlands and wetlands, including ferns, sedges, wild columbine, blue flag iris, horsetail rush, water lilies and native maples. A ramp leading up to the decking combined both reclaimed railroad ties and gravel, tying in the two solid ground influences in the garden. Live moss was used heavily on boulders and wood creating the illusion of a garden which has been tucked away, living and growing for a long time. Photo by Larry Carnes

We used dark to light transitions throughout the first floor in order to emphasize the bright color palette in more heavily-used areas of the home. The foyer and entryway pictured here were painted darker shades of green and purple (colors which are also seen in brighter form in the living room and kitchen). These color cues serve to lead from transitional spaces to common living areas in a subtle, intuitive way. Meanwhile, the angled wall helps to lead the eye through the space, creating dramatic focal points.

New construction home was designed for heavily forested 1.5 acre site with slight sloping backyard. Southern orientation and time of day was conceptualized in the design so morning sun hit the master bedroom and vaulted living room. In the afternoon sunlight travels to a future planned 3 season sunroom. Heating was designed with forced hot air and vertical stack venting from a pellet stove and gas fireplace. Conceptually the front facade is more traditional and private with wrap around farmer's porch and iconic "house" roof form. While the rear becomes more open and welcome to outdoor living space in all seasons. Photography by Design Imaging Studios
