The semi-open kitchen came about as a ‘via-media’ to accommodate the lady of the house’s wish for privacy and the husband’s for an open kitchen. The wall dividing the living room and the kitchen was torn down and replaced with a wooden unit with a mix of some open shelves and some with louvred screens, to allow some visual connection without invading the kitchen’s privacy.

Living room - contemporary living room idea in Seattle

Designer: Charlotte Tully LEED Green Assoc., UDCP Photographer: CasaMokio (Nate Lewis) Attention was given to coordinate the Master bathroom with other spaces in the home while speaking to the husband’s leaning in contemporary aesthetics. Being that cherry wood appeared in nearby rooms, this material was integrated into the remodeled space uniquely as a durable porcelain tile. This tile was installed as flooring in addition to facing the shower focal wall. A crisp, white engineered quartz was not only used as a countertop, but also caps the curb, pony wall, and interior of the shampoo niche to minimize pesky grout lines. 2014 NARI META Platinum Award: Sunnyvale Bathroom Remodel

A Lake Michigan Home gets a Modern Refresh from Dresner Design. Photos by Tony Soluri. This couple moved from Chicago’s Wicker Park to a rural setting but wanted to maintain their modern aesthetic. Scott Dresner of Dresner Design created a light bright clean-lined kitchen perfect for the couple’s need to entertain. Must have’s included a drawer for over sixty spices, storage for three sets of dishes, a coffee bar, and a huge island the couple uses for entertaining. The palette is mostly white to maximize outdoor views. Constraints were plenty both timeline and budgetary. Dresner came up with some creative solutions, which allowed the homeowners to save on cabinetry and materials and splurge on appliances.

Stripped of its original charm with sagging floors and water leaks, this 1900 row house was prime for a full renovation. While the staircase and marble fireplace are original, everything from the white oak flooring, crown, applied, and base moldings, to the archways and brass door hardware is new; yet they all feel original to the house. Other projects included removing soffits and tucking away randomly placed support beams and posts, relocating and expanding the kitchen, renovating each bathroom – and adding a new one, upgrading all the mechanical, electric and plumbing systems, removing a fireplace, and regrading the back patio for proper drainage and added greenery. The project is a perfect study of juxtaposing new and old, classic and modern. Photography Stacy Zarin Goldberg

This is the AFTER shot of the plain green wall that was decorated in my clients office. My client wanted to surprise her husband for Xmas with a newly designed home office in a fishing theme as he is an avid fisherman. This project was completed in one day when he was out of town. I had purchased all the accessories prior and stored them in my garage. When the husband was out of sight, my design partner and myself returned to the home and put everything together, hanging draperies, all wall artwork, accessorizing the hutch and desk. Some of the items were sourced from a prop shop in Chicago, Il. Those are real used rods, lures, a used fishing net and canoe paddles.
