Example of a small trendy gray one-story wood exterior home design in Seattle

This narrow lot villa was designed for the empty nester second home market. It caters to those possibly downsizing or just wanting a maintenance free second home. It’s width from the street is immediately brought to suspicion by an expansive Great Room. The spacious kitchen with island and serving bar open onto the view beyond. The Master Suite is entered through a double doored private Foyer. Rounding out this homes many features is the “L” shaped outdoor Patio with outdoor kitchen. sThis home truly defies what many believe are the limiting factors of narrow lot home plans.

This 1960's property was totally renovated. The bricks were spray painted and the siding painted. After all the renovations, we staged it and it immediately had an offer. If you are interested in staging your home, give us a call. We work with home owners, investors, realtors and house 'flippers'. Call us at 514-222-5553. We have been in business since 2006.

Our Pasadena studio transformed this 1908 carriage house for our clients, a husband-and-wife team who own a leading Family Law practice in Pasadena. We created an inspiring workspace that doubles as a craft area, promising to boost energy and promote relaxation. We started with Thibaut's eye-catching Dynasty collection wallcovering, which served as an inspiration for the space and satisfied the client's love of mood-boosting color. Charming floral-inspired hardware from Modern Matter (with original roots as a jewelry atelier) serves as a nod to the client's love of fine detail and complements the room's botanical wallcovering. We also carved out a dedicated jewelry-making area, which serves as a relaxing break from day-to-day pressures. Built-in desks, cabinets, and tall storage from California Closets make organizing a breeze. At the same time, plants, improved LED lighting, a music system, and vibrant colors enhance the space's mood-boosting benefits promoting creativity, focus, and energy – a perfect antidote to a hectic digital lifestyle.​​​​​​​​

This summer cottage was winterized in the 1960’s as a year round home. The new owners decided to remodel the master suite to achieve more efficient energy saving and storage needs. After a design by another builder failed to inspire them, Excelsior Design Group was commissioned to review the project. Client Objectives The homeowners were looking to convert an old master bathroom into a walk in closet, remodel a guest bedroom into a master bathroom and remodel a hall bathroom into a laundry room. Project Details It was immediately determined that the master bath and closet layout previously designed needed to be flipped. The old master bathroom became the walk in closet for Susan. The new walk-in closet, designed to accommodate hundreds of shoes, was designed by Janis Gaut of Closet Factory and incorporates the same marble tops as the vanities and the fireplace.

Believe it or not, this award-winning home began as a speculative project. Typically speculative projects involve a rather generic design that would appeal to many in a style that might be loved by the masses. But the project’s developer loved modern architecture and his personal residence was the first project designed by architect C.P. Drewett when Drewett Works launched in 2001. Together, the architect and developer envisioned a fictitious art collector who would one day purchase this stunning piece of desert modern architecture to showcase their magnificent collection. The primary views from the site were southwest. Therefore, protecting the interior spaces from the southwest sun while making the primary views available was the greatest challenge. The views were very calculated and carefully managed. Every room needed to not only capture the vistas of the surrounding desert, but also provide viewing spaces for the potential collection to be housed within its walls. The core of the material palette is utilitarian including exposed masonry and locally quarried cantera stone. An organic nature was added to the project through millwork selections including walnut and red gum veneers. The eventual owners saw immediately that this could indeed become a home for them as well as their magnificent collection, of which pieces are loaned out to museums around the world. Their decision to purchase the home was based on the dimensions of one particular wall in the dining room which was EXACTLY large enough for one particular painting not yet displayed due to its size. The owners and this home were, as the saying goes, a perfect match! Project Details | Desert Modern for the Magnificent Collection, Estancia, Scottsdale, AZ Architecture: C.P.

This view from the heart of the kitchen offers a tantalizing glimpse into the home’s specialized zones, where high-function utility meets high-fashion artistry. The clean, creamy white lines of the main kitchen act as a neutral frame for two distinct, high-drama portals: the moody, Art Deco butler’s pantry and a vibrant "command center" hallway. The shift in energy is immediate as your eye travels from the kitchen’s bright marble-veined surfaces into the immersive teal-blue of the butler’s pantry, grounded by its classic black and white checkered floor. To the left, a second transition reveals a hallway leading from the garage—a functional command center transformed by a bold, dark floral wallpaper featuring whimsical bird motifs and oversized blooms. This intentional layering of color and pattern creates a sophisticated "jewel-box" effect, proving that even transitional spaces like pantries and hallways can be the most talked-about rooms in the home.

These minimalist clients love their home’s downtown views. Their condo was bright and spacious—except for the bathroom, which was an entanglement of dark tunnels. The design includes a sleek floating vanity and walnut wall to ground the freestanding tub. This bathroom is also outfitted with smart tech and thoughtful features, such as a digital thermostatic valve for consistent temperature; ceiling-mounted bath filler with flow control; air induction body spray; an intelligent toilet; custom privacy partition, and a walnut linen cabinet. This intentionally minimal space has clean lines and lots of white space with special details and finishes.

The sprawling 10,000 Square foot home is the perfect summer getaway for this beautiful young family of four. The well-established couple hired us to transform a traditional Hamptons home into a contemporary weekend delight. Upon entering the house, you are immediately welcomed by an impressive fixture that falls from the second floor to the first - the first of the many artisanal lighting pieces installed throughout the home. The client’s lifestyle and entertaining goals were easily met with an abundance of outdoor seating, decks, balconies, and a special infinity pool and garden areas.

Relocating to Portland, Oregon from California, this young family immediately hired Amy to redesign their newly purchased home to better fit their needs. The project included updating the kitchen, hall bath, and adding an en suite to their master bedroom. Removing a wall between the kitchen and dining allowed for additional counter space and storage along with improved traffic flow and increased natural light to the heart of the home. This galley style kitchen is focused on efficiency and functionality through custom cabinets with a pantry boasting drawer storage topped with quartz slab for durability, pull-out storage accessories throughout, deep drawers, and a quartz topped coffee bar/ buffet facing the dining area. The master bath and hall bath were born out of a single bath and a closet. While modest in size, the bathrooms are filled with functionality and colorful design elements. Durable hex shaped porcelain tiles compliment the blue vanities topped with white quartz countertops. The shower and tub are both tiled in handmade ceramic tiles, bringing much needed texture and movement of light to the space. The hall bath is outfitted with a toe-kick pull-out step for the family’s youngest member!

A guest bedroom that isn’t afraid to have a little fun. Patterned wallpaper wraps the room and immediately gives it character, while the blue palette keeps everything cohesive and calm rather than busy. Layered textiles, from the upholstered bench to the pillows and drapery, make the space feel comfortable and intentional. A statement ceiling light adds warmth and a touch of glamour, balancing the traditional nightstands and classic bed frame. It feels welcoming, polished, and personal. This isn’t a spare room that feels forgotten. It’s a space that makes guests feel like they actually belong there.

The relaxation room at Viseu Villa is of an unbelievably luxurious and delicate tone. Upon entering this space, we are immediately dazzled by the expanse of the staircase glass, framing the room and providing a sense of spaciousness that connects us with the outside world. It’s about slowing down and reflecting, a pause in the hectic routine where time unfolds more gently and inspiringly.

This contemporary city apartment combines the bedroom and bathroom areas into an open and dynamic space in Poland’s capital of Warsaw. The interplay between light wood patterns next to dark colours and materials, including carpet and marble, is immediately striking and makes for a sleek and stylish living space. The contrast also acts as a functional element which separates the boundary between the bedroom and bathroom. High, sloping ceilings with large windows allow natural light to flow through the room and enliven and enlarge the space – and combined with modern amenities like a bathtub, keep it feeling comfortable yet modern. #apartment #warsaw #woodpattern #highceiling #woodcladding #darkcolors #corona #3ds #vray #photoshop #3dvisual #cgartist #theroom
