Design ideas for a large drought-tolerant and full sun front yard landscaping in Los Angeles.

This remodel project in Kirkland involved a new chef’s kitchen, updated family room and fully transformed bathrooms. The once dark and dated kitchen was completely reimagined by brightening the space, reconfiguring the island to create a larger and more usable cooking area and maximizing the storage throughout by adding custom floor-to-ceiling cabinetry. The transformed bathrooms find the perfect balance of design harmony and practicality through creative layout enhancements coupled with a charming modern farmhouse vibe.

**Project Overview** This new construction home built next to a serene lake features a gorgeous, large-scale kitchen that also connects to a bar, home office, breakfast room and great room. The homeowners sought the warmth of traditional styling, updated for today. In addition, they wanted to incorporate unexpected touches that would add personality. Strategic use of furniture details combined with clean lines brings the traditional style forward, making the kitchen feel fresh, new and timeless. **What Makes This Project Unique?* Three finishes, including vintage white paint, stained cherry and textured painted gray oak cabinetry, work together beautifully to create a varied, unique space. Above the wall cabinets, glass cabinets with X mullions add interest and decorative storage. Single ovens are tucked in cabinets under a window, and a warming drawer under one perfectly matches the cabinet drawer under the other. Matching furniture-style armoires flank the wall ovens, housing the freezer and a pantry in one and custom designed large scale appliance garage with retractable doors in the other. Other furniture touches can be found on the sink cabinet and range top cabinet that help complete the look. The variety of colors and textures of the stained and painted cabinetry, custom dark finish copper hood, wood ceiling beams, glass cabinets, wood floors and sleek backsplash bring the whole look together. **Design Challenges* Even though the space is large, we were challenged by having to work around the two doorways, two windows and many traffic patterns that run through the kitchen. Wall space for large appliances was quickly in short supply. Because we were involved early in the project, we were able to work with the architect to expanded the kitchen footprint in order to make the layout work and get appliance placement just right. We had other architectural elements to work with that we wanted to compliment the kitchen design but also dictated what we could do with the cabinetry. The wall cabinet height was determined based on the beams in the space. The oven wall with furniture armoires was designed around the window with the lake view. The height of the oven cabinets was determined by the window. We were able to use these obstacles and challenges to design creatively and make this kitchen one of a kind. Photo by MIke Kaskel

This property we completed is defined by its clean lines and uncluttered aesthetic, modern landscaping is the staple of “less is more.” Beautiful modern layouts are a welcoming contrast against a more traditional home in Hawaii , the modern landscape is one that works hard for proportion and balance above anything else. We love to be involved in all projects, from modern design to tropical design. We just absolutely love landscaping!

This charming whole house remodel focuses on renovations to the home's basement, primary suite, main level, and upper level. 100+ year old reclaimed beams in the kitchen and dining room compliment the natural hues of the stone fireplace to create a rustic, French cottage inspired atmosphere. Brass accents pair with contrasting black and white design elements throughout the home for a balanced element of modernity and elegance in this cozy, inviting home. Darker elements such as sleek black detailing in the primary suite, black window frames, and jet mist granite countertops in the kitchen compliment the lighter elements of white cabinetry, bathroom subway tile, and simple trim, creating feel of continuity and unique design in each room.

Bathroom remodel was a complete redesign to bring the original 90-year old San Francisco bathroom into modern day. Reimagining the space involved knocking down walls and employing artisans for handmade shower tiles and locally custom-made cabinetry to perfectly fit tight spaces. Creamy tones, Mahogany wood, and ceramic crackle and subway tiles strike a balance between traditional and contemporary. The end result is a bathroom design that's a breath of fresh air and modern sophistication - See more at: http://kimballstarr.com/projects/bathroom-remodel-st-francis-wood

Living room - transitional living room idea in Baltimore

Tredi Interiors recently took on an impressive modern kitchen remodeling project in Redwood, California. This initiative involved designing a modern Arrital kitchen and bar, as well as elegant bathroom vanities from Ideagroup. The committed Tredi Interiors team aimed to create a space that balanced practicality with visual appeal. The Arrital kitchen and bar featured a sleek, modern design, enhanced by high-end Gaggenau appliances and custom cabinetry.

Transforming this compact backyard into a luxurious retreat involved creatively balancing space and function. The client's desire for a large pool was met with the challenge of city bylaws, which required walkways around all sides. To maximize greenery in the limited space, we carefully layered lush plantings around the pool, adding depth and natural beauty. We seamlessly integrated an existing balcony, plus dining and seating areas, while a new shed adds utility. Three new trees were strategically planted to meet city guidelines, blending urban convenience with serene garden elegance in a cohesive and functional design.
