This custom living room unit and media center was designed to provide all that a Manhattan family needs for entertaining lots of guests or to just kick back, relax and watch some TV. The wall unit also shows off some of our favorite new material finishes with a combination of wood veneer, matte glass, and high gloss.
Color played a big role in the design of this entertainment center. It contrasts a radiant high gloss orange with a warm Smoked Walnut wood grain for a balanced and modern look. The orange high gloss adds an artistic accent to the unit, while keeping the design free from chaotic lines and color schemes. Our no-handle design is made possible by a brushed aluminum J-channel that provides a clean look and makes the drawers easy to access. Flat style doors and drawer fronts also contribute to the smooth and modern European look of the media center.
Our space saving entertainment system also delivers an abundant amount of floor to ceiling storage, both open and in drawers. There is ample room to store and display books, sculptures and home decor. Bottom cabinets are a suitable place to conceal and store media equipment. 1.5 inch thick floating shelves above the television and the box shelves alongside, featured in Midnight Ash, provide definition to the design and balance the high intensity orange elements. Top shelves provide space to arrange fragile keepsakes while bottom shelves can be used to display your favorite reads.
Opposite the open shelving is a matte black glass fronted cabinet to house your favorite drinks and glassware for quick entertaining. The black satin glass is defined by an aluminum door frame. Clear glass shelves are found within the glass door cabinet and provide a useful place for storing dry bar essentials like rocks glasses and your preferred liquor selection. The cabinet includes vertical profile LED strip lights on both side panels that illuminate when the door is opened. The lighting shines through the shelves and sparkles off the glassware, silver ice bucket and colorful drinks you might keep there.
The unit contains a sliding door that alternately hides a flat screen television and reveals a shelf. This feature paired with our wire management system helps keep your wall unit and your living area looking neat and tidy.
The hidden hardware adds a unique function to this design without drawing the eye. Short arm flap stays and drop-down flap hinges allow for the soft, almost automatic opening of the long panel faces that conceal the drawers behind. The drawers are easy to access and provide the storage of multiple drawers without cluttering the look of the media center.
This design is completed with integrated LED lighting. Behind the floating backing panel, adjustable LED lighting enhances the spacious look of the unit and provide mood lights for the living room. The shelves are equipped with recessed LED lights that make the orange high gloss color pop and showcase your displayed possessions. The floating shelves are equipped with horizontal profile LED strip lights to give the whole unit a warm glow. Our lighting systems offer features such as touch switches and dimmers, which add light, comfort and convenience to your living space.

The owners requested a Private Resort that catered to their love for entertaining friends and family, a place where 2 people would feel just as comfortable as 42. Located on the western edge of a Wisconsin lake, the site provides a range of natural ecosystems from forest to prairie to water, allowing the building to have a more complex relationship with the lake - not merely creating large unencumbered views in that direction. The gently sloping site to the lake is atypical in many ways to most lakeside lots - as its main trajectory is not directly to the lake views - allowing for focus to be pushed in other directions such as a courtyard and into a nearby forest.
The biggest challenge was accommodating the large scale gathering spaces, while not overwhelming the natural setting with a single massive structure. Our solution was found in breaking down the scale of the project into digestible pieces and organizing them in a Camp-like collection of elements:
- Main Lodge: Providing the proper entry to the Camp and a Mess Hall
- Bunk House: A communal sleeping area and social space.
- Party Barn: An entertainment facility that opens directly on to a swimming pool & outdoor room.
- Guest Cottages: A series of smaller guest quarters.
- Private Quarters: The owners private space that directly links to the Main Lodge.
These elements are joined by a series green roof connectors, that merge with the landscape and allow the out buildings to retain their own identity. This Camp feel was further magnified through the materiality - specifically the use of Doug Fir, creating a modern Northwoods setting that is warm and inviting. The use of local limestone and poured concrete walls ground the buildings to the sloping site and serve as a cradle for the wood volumes that rest gently on them. The connections between these materials provided an opportunity to add a delicate reading to the spaces and re-enforce the camp aesthetic.
The oscillation between large communal spaces and private, intimate zones is explored on the interior and in the outdoor rooms. From the large courtyard to the private balcony - accommodating a variety of opportunities to engage the landscape was at the heart of the concept.

Removing the wall between the kitchen and family room transformed the way these spaces connect, creating an open, inviting setting for cooking, conversation, and entertaining.
White upper cabinetry contrasts with dark lower cabinets and an expansive island, while veined white surfaces and warm gold finishes bring cohesion to the kitchen. Clear-framed lantern pendants and sculptural counter stools add distinctive detail without interrupting sightlines into the family room.
A nearby breakfast area pairs a round pedestal table with two-tone upholstered chairs, patterned drapery, and vibrant artwork. Coordinated colors, lighting, and furnishings unite the spaces while giving each area its own identity.
This Lenox Residence transformation by The Sisters & Company – Decorating Den Interiors demonstrates how thoughtful planning and a complete design vision can reshape everyday living.

This room originally had parkay flooring. It was the only flooring in the home that wasn't damaged. Since there were so many different flooring options going on in the home it made more sense to continue the same flooring throughout the home so that the home would feel more cohesive and less choppy. I decided to create one flooring option throughout the home but give a couple of the rooms their own identity by adding carpet. The home had a great open concept when the wall from the media room to the dining room was opened and when the sunroom was added it gave it an even more expansive feel. You can see all the way from the front door to the back of the home. The fireplace you see here is made of rose quartz stone and is floor to ceiling. the lighting in the room was changed out from living room lighting to dining room chandelier and the popcorn ceiling was scraped off to give it natural texture. The window in the back of the picture was the homes original exterior window. Instead of closing it off we opted to keep it open to take advantage of the natural light cascading in from the sunroom. We added lighting on top of the window frame to highlight the owners home decor showpieces.

Our clients bought two adjacent rowhomes as investment properties, and we designed and completed a gut renovation of each property. Both homes have two units and near-identical floor plans; a 2-bedroom, 2 bath unit in the basement and a larger “primary” unit with 5 bedrooms and 3 ½ baths taking up the top three floors. This project includes a 3rd-floor addition and a rear addition across the back.
This gut remodel creates contemporary living on the bustling 13th street corridor in the sought-after Columbia Heights neighborhood. Light and airy finishes were used throughout.
The basement units include a kitchen as part of an open design concept with a long peninsula creating a galley-style layout with three pendant lights and bar counter seating. The uppers for the shaker style cabinets are white and the lowers are dark blue. The kitchens also feature a work sink with inserts to dry dishes on or prepare food.

Open-plan living can feel expansive or overwhelming, but with careful planning, it is possible to design them to feel comfortable and welcoming: the difference lies in zoning. Furniture placement, lighting and subtle tonal shifts help define function without using walls.
In this space, each area has its own identity while still feeling visually connected. The patterns and materials draw from the concept I created, whilst gentle zoning techniques ensure that each area’s purpose is defined. Here you see the kitchen peninsula and pendant lights were designed and chosen to not only offer a space for casual dining or drinks with friends, but to also distinguish between the kitchen and dining area.
Next, the living area is cocooned with this gentle treeline which softly continues into part of the kitchen, whilst the area rug goes further to suggest the boundaries of that space.
When zoning is done well, a space feels organised without ever feeling divided. Open plan living needn’t feel echoey or vast, instead it can feel cosy, calm and inviting.
