Sean tackled his guest bathroom remodel to enhance the small space's functionality and appearance. The focus was on optimizing space utilization and refreshing the area with updated fixtures and finishes.
The challenge of the tiny bathroom was addressed by carefully selecting space-efficient fixtures and finishes that enhanced functionality without sacrificing style.
The remodel involved a complete demolition of the existing guest bathroom down to the studs, especially around the shower walls, to start fresh. A new walk-in shower replaced the dated shower tub combo.
New shower drain plumbing was installed, along with the shower floor, which was tiled with Arizona Tile's Pave 2" x 2" mosaic in Moka and grouted in Driftwood.
The shower walls were adorned with Arizona Tile's Tivoli in Bianco 12" x 24", creating a continuous offset pattern complemented by Warm Gray grout. A new recessed wall niche was added for bath products, matching the wall tile for a seamless look.
In the vanity area, a space-efficient 42” Ove Decors Athena vanity in Almond Latte offered ample storage, paired with a Delta Kayra faucet in Brilliance Stainless, and a framed mirror and a medicine cabinet for extra storage.
The guest bathroom transformation surpassed expectations, converting a tight space into a functional, stylish haven. The smart space utilization yielded a bathroom that caters to guests' needs while enhancing home value.

" The project involved removing a section of the load-bearing wall to open up the kitchen and adding a stylish island for additional functionality. We installed new countertops and cabinets, offering a wide range of elegant materials. A dedicated pantry area was also included to optimize storage. The end result was a beautiful and efficient kitchen that exceeded the homeowner's expectations.

Cozy and Colorful Beach House Remodel!
When you think funky little house by the beach – images like what you are about to see may not be what you would have anticipated. This furnishings project aimed to capture a colorful, fun, active space for a family who wanted to feel at home .Thus, creating casual and comfortable but not boring in the least. A little traveled, a lot of texture, and not much clutter!
From the start, the space was not much to write home about!
The common living areas were boxy with lower ceilings. Quirky ins and outs needed to be optimized. Overall, this project was a prime opportunity for us to really dig in. From treating each room top to bottom and finding the client’s mojo when it came to wallcoverings. Selecting funky lighting and the right mix and match of bold colors and more natural, organic textures.
We came in too late to get involved with the kitchen but helped the client with a few little accents and color choices. Thus, acting as a jumping off point for the large dining space featuring a beautiful (and resilient!) wooden trestle table. We created a mix of seating that offers a little funk, and the fun additional cabinet storage to each end which offered a hideaway. We loved that this vista had such opportunity for great lighting and art, also!
A Colorful, Cozy Living Room
We knew we needed a cozy, lower profile seating area but also some sort of great reading nook by the fireplace. With the large windows and the main entry just off this space, a traffic pattern was delianted that helped guide decisions with the furniture. A funky, nubbier woven fabric on the sectional that hinted towards mid-century modern. The irregular shaped, petrified wood coffee table. The bold statement and colors carried through in the wallcovering and area rug. Jumping to the fireplace area where you can lounge or read with those gorgeous cognac leather recliners. This space needed to feel separate and the same all at once. The balance of scale and colors really helped achieve this!
Can’t forget the bedrooms!
Of course we can’t get by without mentioning a little bedroom love, either.
In the master the overall designs dictated by a bold, saturated woven wood cloth on the headboard wall. We love the mix of color and pattern in here. The bold, sexier mood is 100% a byproduct of the level of rich colors and unusual combinations. Those bold hand-glazed ceramic lamps against those strict geo-pattern bed pillows – so good!
Our sweet tween bedroom that should grow with her for a good, long time. All in all, filled with original art and layered in a softer palette. There was a lot of matching in here at first, but once we convinced her to trust us she started to understand why adding in the unexpected hit of bright coral and spring green made everything sing!

A classic West Side loft in Hell’s Kitchen, Gallery’s main task was to renovate the large kitchen. The clients like to entertain, so in addition to remodeling the aesthetic, we expanded the footprint of the island and built an entirely new bar at the opposite end of the kitchen. Some design choices are a natural fit for the space. In this case, that meant leaning into the industrial vibe of the exposed concrete while bringing in some character with the material choices.
INDUSTRIAL CHIC
With an industrial aesthetic in mind, gray was a natural color choice for the fully custom Miralis cabinets. The backsplash was designed in a subway brick pattern, but rather than the typical porcelain or marble, a clay tile in a white matte tone resembling cement was chosen to further coordinate with the exposed concrete.
Stacked cabinets were installed to accommodate the tall loft ceilings. For contrast, we incorporated glass front cabinetry with lighting in some areas. The resulting marriage of concrete, glass, and wood is well-matched for an industrial chic loft kitchen.
Further highlighting the homeowners’ love of entertaining, we also built an entirely custom bar at one end of the space, featuring open shelving in contrasting wood tones with underlighting and a custom mirrored backsplash for an authentic bar feel.
ADVENTURES IN APPROACHING COLUMNS
Loft renovations tend to come with two common needs: how to fill all that space tastefully and how to work with those ever present columns. In the case of this loft kitchen renovation, it suited the industrial aesthetic not to wrap the concrete column as one typically would, but rather to leave it exposed, accentuating the raw character of the space. Partially as a result, the island expanded too, creating more room for functional additions such as a built-in microwave, wine fridge, and more open shelving to match the bar, outlined with a countertop overhang to optimize counter space and chair storage.
ANCHORED IN SYMMETRY
With a loft space as unusually large as this one, an ideal design strategy, especially when high ceilings are involved, is to anchor the kitchen on opposing sides. Here, one side is anchored by a large floor-to-ceiling pantry, while the other is anchored by the counter-depth fridge with cabinetry above. The connecting element is the counter space in the middle, resulting in the visual impact of a long kitchen run within the open floor plan of a loft.
SOME HIGHLIGHTS
- Entirely custom-built bar with custom mirrored backsplash templated specifically for this project
- Large, oversized island with seating all around, open shelving, and built-in microwave
- Subway backsplash tiles in clay rather than porcelain or marble
- Olympian white marble countertops

On this inside of this home remodel project, the kitchen involved a strategic shift of the stove to create more of a galley-style layout to optimize flow and storage solutions.

When approached by the client for this particular project, their primary goal was a comprehensive kitchen remodel that also involved transforming an underused closet into a hidden walk-in pantry. Recognizing the potential of this space adjacent to the kitchen, we aimed to seamlessly integrate it into the overall design, offering practical storage solutions and enhancing functionality.
The addition of a walk-in pantry not only addressed the need for increased storage but also allowed us to declutter the main kitchen area. Items such as the microwave, beverage fridge, coffee maker, and various baked goods found a designated place, optimizing the kitchen's efficiency and organization.

In the prestigious Beverly Hills project, we embarked on a comprehensive renovation that involved a complete gutting and transformation of the house. By removing support walls within the kitchen area, we successfully created a spacious and open kitchen layout, optimizing functionality and visual appeal. Additionally, our team undertook the complete remodeling of five bathrooms and a powder room, ensuring a seamless blend of luxury and functionality. The installation of custom-made wood windows and elegant engineered floors throughout the entire house added a touch of sophistication and cohesiveness to the overall design.

The six-panel NanaWall NW Wood 540 was customized with elegant Pine wood frames to perfectly complement the exterior envelope and interior design features. This wood framed bifold door elevates the contemporary pool house feel of the space with thin, minimal frames and a barefoot-friendly Low Profile Saddle sill.
For optimal year-round function, the system was specified with a convenient swing door to provide quick indoor-outdoor access when the panels are closed. As a Generation 4 folding glass door, the system is designed to offer the smoothest operation, allowing the homeowners to easily open or close the pool house based on the needs of the day.
From Summer to Winter: Year-Round Indoor-Outdoor Living
To create a true four-season retreat, the wood framed bifold door was specified with double-glazed panels. This would ensure optimal thermal comfort by keeping the contemporary pool house space warm in winter without breaking the visual connection to the outdoors. The system’s quadruple laminated wood adds another layer of energy efficiency and strength against seasonal weather.
“The homeowners love the flow between the pool house and pool area,” says PSW. “Even when it snows, the homeowners talked about how nice it would be to be in the pool house and enjoy the beauty of snowfall from inside with amazing views provided by the NanaWall.”
This Fox Chapel backyard perfectly embodies the very essence of indoor-outdoor living. What was once an outdated pool and shed has been reimagined into a contemporary pool house and outdoor entertaining area that sits in harmony with its natural surroundings. Seamlessly connected through the NanaWall wood framed bifold door, the indoor-outdoor spaces merge into one, creating a luxurious backyard retreat for laid-back living and memorable gatherings.
“The homeowners are absolutely in love with the finished project. This has made their outdoor living experience so much more enjoyable,” says PSW. “Everyone involved with the project exceeded expectations, and PSW is honored to be a part of bringing this dream to reality.”

Ever heard some say “It has good bones?” Well, no one had ever said that about this house; it needed a major overhaul - “A TOTAL GUT.”
It’s saving grace was:
1. It’s enthusiastic new homeowners.
2. The expansive and gorgeous views of Okanagan Lake.
We were asked to assist our clients with big-picture-planning for their newest investment property.
Upon initial walk through of the home, it was immediately evident there were many previous ‘bandaid-type’ updates that it had gone through over the years.
This house was in prime need of an overhaul inside and out:
- multiple dropped Ceilings with layers of Plumbing add ons
- wall to wall Carpet
-a tired Bathtub directly inside the Master Bedroom
- a “dreaded” Corner Kitchen Sink
-multiple add ons involving three confusing front entry doors
Discovering what was previously done and the quandary of why these things were done is always so interesting to discover and can be very overwhelming for clients.
A big part of what we love most about Design is helping to propose new ideas to revitalize and improve all that has come before. It is one of the most challenging and rewarding parts of our work.
Our Renovation Strategy began in Layout Design for optimizing Interior & Exterior flow, moving into Concept & Style Planning, Millwork and Finish Selections.
We then created an ordered implementation sequence which would allow the homeowners to live on one floor while the other was being renovated Later they would move to the finished floor and renovate the remaining areas.
Once complete, the home quickly sold and we look forwards to assisting these happy investors on their next endeavour.

When approached by the client for this particular project, their primary goal was a comprehensive kitchen remodel that also involved transforming an underused closet into a hidden walk-in pantry. Recognizing the potential of this space adjacent to the kitchen, we aimed to seamlessly integrate it into the overall design, offering practical storage solutions and enhancing functionality.

Items such as the microwave, beverage fridge, coffee maker, and various baked goods found a designated place, optimizing the kitchen's efficiency and organization.

These young homeowners purchased the house from its original owner, who had meticulously
cared for it since overseeing its construction nearly 50 years ago.
While the home was in excellent condition, it needed updates to better suit the new owners'
lifestyle and growing family. The renovation involved moving a few walls and rearranging key
rooms to optimize the layout for an open, functional flow. A spacious island with seating was
added to enhance the kitchen's usability, along with well-thought-out cabinetry.
The final design reflects the homeowners' contemporary style while preserving the home's
original charm.

At Muriel Ave. in Toronto, we undertook a comprehensive renovation project that focused primarily on the main floor, with additional updates to the flooring on the second floor. The main floor was transformed by removing walls to create a more open and spacious concept. This allowed for better flow and usability, enhancing the overall aesthetic and functional appeal of the home.
A significant part of the renovation involved enlarging the window opening above the kitchen counter and installing a new side door. Both features were fitted with specialized European black trim windows, adding a sleek, modern touch to the space. In the living area, we installed a beautiful, modern gas fireplace that serves as a focal point, providing both warmth and ambiance.
The staircase received a notable upgrade with new maple treads and a striking black aluminum railing complemented by glass panels, blending safety with contemporary design. One of the most distinctive features of this renovation is the full glass wall by the stairs, which extends to cover the opening to the basement. This not only adds a sense of openness but also allows natural light to permeate through multiple levels of the home.
The kitchen was redesigned into an L-shaped layout with an island, optimizing both functionality and aesthetics. The inclusion of a brick backsplash above the stove offers a rustic yet stylish contrast to the modern kitchen fixtures. The client also chose to retain the existing powder room off to the side of the kitchen, preserving a convenient and practical feature.
On the second floor, we replaced the flooring, ensuring a cohesive and modern look throughout the house. The final product of this renovation is truly stunning, showcasing an eclectic blend of new and old design elements. This project at Muriel Ave., located near the bustling intersection of Pape and Danforth, highlights our expertise and frequent work in this vibrant area. Our team is proud to deliver high-quality, customized renovations that enhance both the functionality and beauty of our clients’ homes.
