Inspiration for a large transitional enclosed dark wood floor and brown floor living room remodel in Atlanta with beige walls, a standard fireplace and a plaster fireplace

This project was such an incredible design opportunity, and instilled inspiration and excitement at every turn! Our amazing clients came to us with the challenge of converting their beloved family home into a welcoming haven for all members of the family. At the time that we met our clients, they were struggling with the difficult personal decision of the fate of the home. Their father/father-in-law had passed away and their mother/mother-in-law had recently been admitted into a nursing facility and was fighting Alzheimer’s. Resistant to loss of the home now that both parents were out of it, our clients purchased the home to keep in in the family. Despite their permanent home currently being in New Jersey, these clients dedicated themselves to keeping and revitalizing the house. We were moved by the story and became immediately passionate about bringing this dream to life.
The home was built by the parents of our clients and was only ever owned by them, making this a truly special space to the family. Our goal was to revitalize the home and to bring new energy into every room without losing the special characteristics that were original to the home when it was built. In this way, we were able to develop a house that maintains its own unique personality while offering a space of welcoming neutrality for all members of the family to enjoy over time.
The renovation touched every part of the home: the exterior, foyer, kitchen, living room, sun room, garage, six bedrooms, three bathrooms, the laundry room, and everything in between. The focus was to develop a style that carried consistently from space to space, but allowed for unique expression in the small details in every room.
Starting at the entry, we renovated the front door and entry point to offer more presence and to bring more of the mid-century vibe to the home’s exterior. We integrated a new modern front door, cedar shingle accents, new exterior paint, and gorgeous contemporary house numbers that really allow the home to stand out. Just inside the entry, we renovated the foyer to create a playful entry point worthy of attention. Cement look tile adorns the foyer floor, and we’ve added new lighting and upgraded the entry coat storage.
Upon entering the home, one will immediately be captivated by the stunning kitchen just off the entry. We transformed this space in just about every way. While the footprint of the home ultimately remained almost identical, the aesthetics were completely turned on their head. We re-worked the kitchen to maximize storage and to create an informal dining area that is great for casual hosting or morning coffee.
We removed the entry to the garage that was once in the informal dining, and created a peninsula in its place that offers a unique division between the kitchen/informal dining and the formal dining and living areas. The simple light warm light gray cabinetry offers a bit of traditional elegance, along with the marble backsplash and quartz countertops. We extended the original wood flooring into the kitchen and stained all floors to match for a warmth that truly resonates through all spaces. We upgraded appliances, added lighting everywhere, and finished the space with some gorgeous mid century furniture pieces.
In the formal dining and living room, we really focused on maintaining the original marble fireplace as a focal point. We cleaned the marble, repaired the mortar, and refinished the original fireplace screen to give a new sleek look in black. We then integrated a new gas insert for modern heating and painted the upper portion in a rich navy blue; an accent that is carried through the home consistently as a nod to our client’s love of the color.
The former entry into the old covered porch is now an elegant glass door leading to a stunning finished sunroom. This room was completely upgraded as well. We wrapped the entire space in cozy white shiplap to keep a casual feel with brightness. We tiled the floor with large format concrete look tile, and painted the old brick fireplace a bright white. We installed a new gas burning unit, and integrated transitional style lighting to bring warmth and elegance into the space. The new black-frame windows are adorned with decorative shades that feature hand-sketched bird prints, and we’ve created a dedicated garden-ware “nook” for our client who loves to work in the yard. The far end of this space is completed with two oversized chaise loungers and overhead lights…the most perfect little reading nook!
Just off the dining room, we created an entirely new space to the home: a mudroom. The clients lacked this space and desperately needed a landing spot upon entering the home from the garage. We uniquely planned existing space in the garage to utilize for this purpose, and were able to create a small but functional entry point without losing the ability to park cars in the garage. This new space features cement-look tile, gorgeous deep brown cabinetry, and plenty of storage for all the small items one might need to store while moving in and out of the home.
The remainder of the upstairs level includes massive renovations to the guest hall bathroom and guest bedroom, upstairs master bed/bath suite, and a third bedroom that we converted into a home office for the client.
Some of the largest transformations were made in the basement, where unfinished space and lack of light were converted into gloriously lit, cozy, finished spaces. Our first task was to convert the massive basement living room into the new master bedroom for our clients. We removed existing built-ins, created an entirely new walk-in closet, painted the old brick fireplace, installed a new gas unit, added carpet, introduced new lighting, replaced windows, and upgraded every part of the aesthetic appearance. One of the most incredible features of this space is the custom double sliding barn door made by a Denver artisan. This space is truly a retreat for our clients!
We also completely transformed the laundry room, back storage room, basement master bathroom, and two bedrooms.
This home’s massive scope and ever-evolving challenges were thrilling and exciting to work with, and the result is absolutely amazing. At the end of the day, this home offers a look and feel that the clients love. Above all, though, the clients feel the spirit of their family home and have a welcoming environment for all members of the family to enjoy for years to come.

Neutral color palette: Soft whites, warm beige, taupe, and natural wood tones create a calm and airy atmosphere.
Wood-paneled tray ceiling: The light wood ceiling adds warmth and architectural interest, while the recessed tray detail gives the room height and elegance.
Modern ceiling fan: A sculptural three-blade fan adds a sleek contemporary touch.
Large windows and natural light: Tall windows and open doorways flood the space with sunlight and connect the interior to the lush greenery outside.
Clean-lined furniture: The low-profile sofa and large square coffee table emphasize simplicity and comfort.
Layered textures: Upholstered seating, woven textiles, rugs, and decorative pillows soften the modern lines and make the space feel inviting.
Minimal decor: The striped abstract artwork introduces subtle color without overwhelming the neutral scheme.
Indoor-outdoor connection: The view of tropical landscaping and the open adjoining spaces reinforce a relaxed luxury-home aesthetic.
Built-in bar area: The blue-gray built-in cabinetry with glass shelving adds sophistication and a subtle contrast to the otherwise light palette.

Wild View Farm includes a new “Forever home” (we deconstructed an existing house with a 90% landfill diversion rate), and enhancements to several working barns. The 80 acre site was an original homestead farm from the 1890’s. Both its buildings and soil had become severely degraded. The owners are working to holistically restore this property and make it a model of modern regenerative farming. They are planting hundreds of trees, re-introducing livestock and working with Dryland Agroecology Research and High Plains Permaculture to restore the soil.
The -51 HERS rated home is not just energy-efficient - it’s a model of “Regenerative design”. The deep green house design included multiple challenges – foremost was how to create a Passive Solar design that also took full advantage of the massive views to the West. We solved it with an L shaped building that optimized passive and active solar strategies on the south face, then actively protected the western facade with a giant covered porch and tuned glazing. The home’s leading-edge energy package includes a Ground source heat pump, a large roof-mounted solar PV array, battery back-up, EV chargers, and Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV), Energy Star Appliances and windows, a robust foam insulation shell and LED lighting.
We also endeavored to craft a modern day interpretation of the farmhouse typology, with a low-slung simple gable-roofed form that would feel like it’s always been there. The exterior material palette of limestone, cementitious stucco and heavy timber gives it a rich Colorado Modern Farmhouse feel. The home is full of custom details like walls of vaulted glass to capture the sweeping mountain views, an AI Smart Home control system, a sleeping loft for kids and guests, a hard-working Butler’s Pantry, a gourmet outdoor kitchen, a pool & spa, a cozy office nook for reading, and a lovely built-in bench for morning coffee. Phase 2 of this project will include a Farmworker ADU and a full renovation of the existing historic barn.

Dining Room in Bronco | Key Feature: A Scottsdale new-build rooted in sculptural modernism, Bronco Revival balances bold black-and-white contrast with organic textures, natural wood elements, and statement lighting. As a groundbreaking “Live Lab” designer residence, it’s a first-of-its-kind space where luxury furnishings are tested in real-world conditions before being introduced into high-profile client homes.
Challenge: Because Bronco Revival was the designer’s personal residence, the project carried a unique level of pressure and intention. The challenge was creating a Scottsdale new-build that felt elevated and editorial while still functioning as a true family home. Every selection had to balance bold sculptural modernism (high contrast, statement lighting, architectural furnishings) with durability, comfort, and day-to-day livability. In addition, the home served as a “Live Lab,” meaning new vendors, materials, and luxury furnishings needed to be tested in real-life conditions before being trusted for future high-profile client projects.
Solution: We approached the project with a highly curated, test-and-refine design strategy, treating each space as both a finished interior and a real-world evaluation environment. Key furnishings, textiles, and materials were selected to support the modern organic vision while also standing up to the demands of everyday family life. We worked through selections intentionally, layering in bold contrast, natural woods, and sculptural statement pieces, while prioritizing performance materials, pet-friendly durability, and timeless foundational elements. By using the home as a lived-in showroom, we were able to validate what truly performs beautifully, refine our vendor relationships, and confidently carry those proven selections into future client designs.

This whole-home transformation began with a vision: breathe new life into a stunning Mediterranean-influenced residence while honoring its architectural character, including soaring vaulted ceilings, dark wood beams, and graceful arched windows.
The complete kitchen remodel introduced a white shaker cabinetry suite, a natural white oak island, stone backsplash, panel-ready appliances, and custom linen pendant lights, seamlessly flowing into a redesigned dining area anchored by a custom built-in arched glass-front china cabinet and rattan chandelier.
The master bathroom refresh brought spa-like serenity with a painted barrel vault ceiling in soft sky blue, a sculptural petal flush mount, and refined finishes that feel both timeless and tranquil.
Throughout the living room, dining room, master bedroom, and guest room, every furnishing was thoughtfully selected: a blue velvet sofa, organic wood coffee table, cane bed, French settee, and chinoiserie accents layered against a warm neutral palette of cream, camel, and dusty blue. Custom draperies tailored in soft linen with delicate trim details were designed and installed in every room, tying the home together with a cohesive, light-filled elegance.
A whole-home paint refresh completed the transformation, unifying every space under a palette that is warm, sophisticated, and unmistakably livable.
The result: a home that feels curated, not decorated, and entirely, beautifully theirs.

This eat-in dining nook was designed to bring warmth and intimacy to the open kitchen layout. A built-in banquette tucks seamlessly beneath large windows, maximizing seating while creating a cozy, casual gathering spot for everyday meals. Paneled millwork adds architectural detail and softness, while woven roman shades introduce texture and warmth.
A solid wood dining table grounds the space, paired with simple, tailored chairs to keep the look relaxed and functional. Layered pillows in soft neutrals and muted color add comfort without overwhelming the palette. Natural light fills the nook, highlighting the warm wood flooring and creating an inviting place for morning coffee, homework, or casual entertaining.
The result is a kitchen dining area that feels intentional, comfortable, and deeply livable — a natural extension of the heart of the home.

This living room embraces rich color, texture, and architectural softness to create a space that feels both elevated and inviting. A deep burgundy tufted sofa anchors the seating arrangement, paired with sculptural navy lounge chairs that add contrast and depth. The dramatic marble coffee table introduces natural movement and grounds the composition with a bold, organic statement.
Floor to ceiling sheer drapery wraps the room in warm, filtered light, softening the architecture and enhancing the layered palette. A patterned area rug and velvet benches bring additional dimension, while warm wood case goods and brass accents add refinement and cohesion.
The result is a curated, artful interior that balances structure with comfort, blending modern lines, rich materials, and thoughtful detailing into a timeless yet expressive living space.

This remodeled family room balances architectural presence with soft, livable comfort. Exposed wood ceiling beams introduce warmth and character overhead, while a streamlined fireplace wall creates a clean, modern focal point. The fireplace surround pairs textured paneling above with a smooth, tailored lower finish, adding depth without visual clutter.
Furnishings were selected for both comfort and refinement — a generous sectional anchors the space, layered with a mix of neutral textiles and subtle pattern. Sculptural accent tables and woven ottomans bring in organic texture, while oversized artwork adds color and movement without overwhelming the palette.
Large windows flood the room with natural light, enhancing the warm woods and soft neutrals throughout. The result is a family room that feels elevated yet relaxed — designed for everyday living, gathering, and long evenings by the fire.

"Sun-Kissed Sanctuary" reimagines the traditional dining room as a versatile haven, perfect for year-round conversation and creating a lasting first impression. This project catered to the client's desire for a space that seamlessly blends casual elegance with organic elements. The design team employed a calming palette of soft whites and airy blues, setting the stage for a serene escape.
Textural harmony was achieved through a layered approach: radial plush linen chairs provided sumptuous comfort, while woven pillows and a shagreen-wrapped coffee table added a touch of rustic charm. A lush fiddle fig leaf plant, strategically placed in the space, injected a dose of life and echoed the organic design theme.
Respectful of the existing foundation, we integrated the client's existing rug, a statement chandelier, and a captivating wall thread hanging into the new design. To elevate the space further, we introduced custom elements that instilled a sense of unique character. Hand-crafted wood beams and wall trim, reminiscent of a sun-drenched porch, added warmth and architectural interest.
Oyster-hued wallpaper on the foyer ceiling provided a bold textural contrast and a touch of coastal sophistication. The added white trim was accentuated, drawing the eye upwards and creating a sense of verticality. The "Sun-Kissed Sanctuary" transcends the limitations of a traditional front room, offering a versatile space that invites relaxation and connection.
This project exemplifies our ability to curate a space that is both elegant and inviting, perfectly reflecting the client's personality and lifestyle.

Walls draped in rose velvet create a cocooning effect, instantly transforming the space into a serene hideaway.

This inviting living room exudes warmth and contemporary elegance, centered around a stunning travertine fireplace. The fireplace, with its arched opening and herringbone brick interior, serves as the focal point of the space, creating a cozy ambiance with its crackling fire. The clean lines and smooth texture of the travertine complement the soft, off-white walls, adding a touch of sophistication.
Above the fireplace, a black-and-white coastal photograph framed in charcoal gray draws the eye upward, flanked by modern black sconces with brass accents that provide soft, ambient lighting. The simplicity of the artwork and lighting enhances the room’s serene atmosphere.
A low, rustic coffee table made from interlocking pieces of reclaimed wood introduces an organic element, adding texture and depth. The table's natural tones harmonize with the earthy palette of the room, while a stack of books and a decorative bowl lend a personal touch.
To the left, a leafy green plant in a ceramic pot infuses the room with a burst of freshness and color, balancing the warm hues of the roaring fire. On the right, a stylish leather chair with a sleek black metal frame offers a comfortable spot to relax, draped with a cozy white throw blanket for added comfort.
The vibrant area rug, with its intricate geometric pattern in shades of red and blue, anchors the seating area and adds a pop of color that enlivens the space. Overall, this living room is a harmonious blend of modern design and natural elements, creating a welcoming and stylish retreat.

This open-concept living space seamlessly connects lounge and kitchen areas, creating a cohesive environment designed for both comfort and entertaining. A generous sectional anchors the room, layered with patterned and textured pillows that introduce warmth, contrast, and visual depth. The round coffee table adds sculptural presence while softening the clean lines of the seating arrangement.
The kitchen beyond continues the design narrative with crisp cabinetry, geometric tile, and warm brass accents that echo throughout the home. Upholstered counter stools and natural wood flooring add texture and balance, reinforcing the interplay between structure and softness.
Sliding glass doors invite natural light into the space, strengthening the indoor-outdoor connection and enhancing the layered material palette. The result is a thoughtfully curated interior that feels modern, welcoming, and effortlessly cohesive from room to room.

Living room from Studio Thomas Project No. 022, where natural materials and architectural scale create a warm, grounded atmosphere. A limestone fireplace anchors the space, bringing texture and quiet weight to the room while framing a curated piece of artwork above. Layered seating in soft neutrals surrounds a sculptural wood coffee table, encouraging conversation and relaxed gathering. Overhead, a statement chandelier introduces a modern counterpoint to the rustic stone and wood elements. The palette of warm woods, soft textiles, and natural stone reflects Studio Thomas’s approach to high-end residential interior design—spaces that feel refined, comfortable, and deeply connected to the way people live.

Contemporary design needn’t be cold and stark; this kitchen is a study in blending colors, patterns, and finishes to dazzle at every turn. Flaunting the convention of pairing gloss white with matte wood, this does just the opposite: mixing matte white paint with high-gloss walnut-look laminate. But why stop there when you can introduce a softly pearlized chocolate textured laminate for even more interest? The upper section of the coffee area combines dark textured uppers with a gloss horizontal laminate backsplash. It pops against surrounding white bases, paneled refrigeration columns, and oven cabinet. While the waterfall island also features the textured laminate, the entire range/sink wall is white to accentuate the dark materials. A tall pantry is gloss wood laminate (here oriented vertically) that continues in a flyover to the oven cabinet.
Variety is even found in the hardware: wall cabinets have touch latches; white bases have brushed nickel edge pulls; and the textured laminate bases have bronze integrated channel pulls. The butler’s pantry includes a paneled wine refrigerator and corner sink. Its glass doors boast bronze metal frames with interiors of horizontal gloss laminate. Unifying the elements is honed “Calacatta Lincoln” marble for all the countertops and slab backsplashes.
