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!

The focus of this kitchen remodel was to improve layout, functionality, and design. Adding a contemporary design while improving flow by installing a center island.

The owners of this 1950s colonial on Philadelphia’s Main Line wanted to preserve its traditional architecture and take advantage of the kitchen’s ample footprint. In addition to reworking the floorplan and improving the flow, the owner wanted a large island with several seating options, a desk area and a small table for dining.
One of the design goals was to transform the spacious room into a functional kitchen that still felt intimate and comfortable for everyday use. Furniture style inset cabinetry kept the room in tune with the home’s original character and made it feel less utilitarian. Removing the wall that hindered the flow and views between the kitchen and the adjacent family room ensured that the main entertaining areas flowed together. Stylistically, we wanted to avoid the typical white kitchen, opting instead to pull in rich wood tones to create a warmer and more classic look.

For this project, we were hired to update the landscaping to significantly improve the view from the balcony for these homeowners. To achieve this we utilized the preexisting flow of the creek but planted willow trees around it and filled the dry creek with river rock for optimum aesthetics and function. Now our clients have a beautiful view from their balcony, functional water flow in the creek, and wonderful spot to meditate and spend their time.

While the original house had a driveway and garage on the left side, a new, more functional garage and driveway have been created, improving the design flow and incorporating more landscaping. The new, bigger driveway allows parking for three cars.

Because the existing kitchen was closed off from the main level living areas, a complete renovation was in order to improve the flow of spaces and bring the kitchen back to the heart of the home.

New furniture layout and addition of wall hung sconces improve flow around the table and increase light. The antique lights are mounted on fine wood and brass shelves. The chair seats sport new covers. All furniture was in the client's collection.
