Custom Barrier-Free Bathroom Remodel We recently had the honor of remodeling this bathroom for a local veteran to make his daily routine easier and more comfortable. The main goal was to transform a standard bathroom into a fully handicap-accessible space. We designed a custom, curbless walk-in shower that allows a wheelchair to roll right in without any bumps or barriers in the way. By removing the old tub and door, we opened up the entire room, giving him the freedom and independence he deserves. The design isn't just functional—it’s beautiful. We used large-format marble tiles on the walls and a slip-resistant pebble floor in the shower for a natural, high-end look. To make sure it was safe, we installed sturdy, modern grab bars and custom recessed niches to keep soap and shampoo within easy reach. We even added a sleek linear drain and a rain shower head to give it that luxury spa feel. Whether you are looking to make your home more accessible for a loved one or you just want to upgrade to a modern, open-concept shower, we are here to help. We take pride in our custom work and love finding solutions that make life better for our customers. Give us a call today, and let’s talk about how we can build a custom bathroom that fits your specific needs!

Significant progress is evident in crafting this beautiful coastal-themed kitchenette. The white, wood-grain cabinetry immediately creates a light, airy foundation, perfectly setting the stage for a serene coastal aesthetic. A key design element is the designated space for a panel-ready dishwasher. This allows for seamless integration of a custom cabinet panel, blending the appliance flawlessly with the surrounding cabinetry. This maintains the clean, uninterrupted lines crucial for a sophisticated coastal design and achieves a truly built-in, cohesive look. While the air fryer's specific placement isn't explicitly visible, its integration in a modern coastal kitchen can be achieved smartly. Options include a dedicated appliance garage with a retractable door to keep it out of sight, a sturdy pull-out shelf in a base cabinet for easy access, or even stylish open shelf integration for frequent users, ensuring it aligns with the overall coastal decor. The clear, possibly beach glass , cabinet knobs further enhance the coastal vibe, resembling sea glass and adding subtle charm. The microwave is already installed, suggesting the upper cabinetry is nearing completion. Next steps will involve countertop installation, which will further define the space, and the integration of the custom dishwasher panel. This thoughtful customization, particularly for appliances, ensures this kitchen will be both visually stunning and highly practical for modern living.

Location, location, location! Isn’t that what all of our real-estate friends and colleagues are always telling us? Our clients made a wise choice when purchasing this beautifully located ocean front property nestled in the dunes of Palm Beach, but they were presented with a challenge: how to take this luxury townhouse from dark and dated to a chic easy breezy dream home that reflects is naturally gorgeous sun and sand dunes surroundings as well as our clients laid back personalities. Built in 1981, this dream home’s post-modern style with dark wood architectural features, cold concrete structure, and harsh lighting felt out of step by todays standards. Our solution: open the staircase and switch out the wood paneled banister for clear glass, exposing its grand design and allowing for amazing and unobscured views of the property’s outdoor spaces as well as the home’s common areas, permitting its large loft space to shine. Bedrooms were treated to neutral color-schemes inspired by the Palm Beach dunes that surround this oceanfront home. An impressive pallet of textures and materials were chosen, and juxtapositions of lux linens and natural textiles like grass wall coverings and a large arrangement of sculptural branches brings the outside, in. Big and bold custom metal sculptures were installed in the primary bedroom along with hand blown glass light fixtures, adding that touch of glam that we are known for. The private courtyard revamp is above and beyond anything you will see in Palm Beach. Playful and luxurious, it features a koi pond, a two story art installation and a dramatic custom stone waterfall. Its seating area makes great use of this homes original design by softening the heavy overhang with ceiling coverings in Peaky Cyprus and covering the walls with grass, creating a very cool and cozy space to relax and unwind. The entire courtyard is expertly illuminated by artistic lighting that makes every corner a sparkling treat for the eyes. We had fun with this ambitious project and we hope your takeaway is to let location be your guide when looking for your dream home, because anything is possible in design but great surroundings are rare treasures that must be found and cherished.

KITCHEN RENOVATION  CURRENT CRAFTSMAN This client started off just being curious about our services - what we could do, and if we could even help her update her kitchen. She and her husband with their two teenage kids have lived in their home for several years without updating anything since the house was originally built. They didn’t quite have a budget in mind yet. They didn’t know their style, or even if they had one. Their timeline was simple, “as fast as you can so we’re not without a kitchen for very long” (usually what we hear for kitchen updates). After a very productive consultation: determining the scope of work and zeroing in on a budget, I was very excited to update this underwhelming space to something that is modern but timeless, something that is theirs. And, it was easy to see what type of design style they gravitated toward looking at the pieces they already own: Craftsman/Prairie Style. I left the meeting so excited to weave in yet another genre of design to my CDG portfolio! We circled in our contractor to discuss the changes they were looking to make and the scope of work that would be theirs. Then I was off to get designing: // Because the kitchen’s footprint and the defined breakfast space delineated by the bay, we kept the perimeter cabinetry as it was originally laid out. We updated these cabinets to a beautiful soft Alabaster White with a Barn Wood Glaze to highlight the simplicity of the shaker style doors. We added transom cabinets above the uppers, with only the back wall having seeded glass inserts to highlight some of their collectables. // The original shaped island was counter-productive (See what I did there?) in functionality and design. We squared this off to reduce some of the angles and gain more storage. We highlighted the new island with a contrasting oak cabinet in a dark finish, to pay our respects to the craftsman style, and topped with a concrete-like countertop as a nod to the Prairie Style, allowing the homeowners to gain two extra seats and a massive -uninterrupted- work surface. // The small section of cabinetry between the garage entry and fridge now is the perfect dump-station for mail, electronics, whatever is in their hands when they come into the house; and completely hidden by the refrigerator. // The disconnected cabinetry in the breakfast area makes for a great place to have a working office. Accessible from the kitchen or the adjacent great room, this is the perfect place for the kids to do their homework while mom and dad are putting together dinner. The base cabinets are built out for office-type storage: paper and pencil drawers, filing systems, and cord management. Additionally, the long counter provides a ton of worksurface to spread out. // The largest transformation was the pantry. We raised the height of the doorway and added huge custom designed bypass sliding barndoors. Finished with a dark stain to compliment the island and cut to inset 4 stained glass windows, typical of this style of design, and driving home the concept for the whole space. // They were desperate to replace their flooring with something extremely durable to flow throughout the kitchen and the whole main level. This beautiful new flooring is actually a textured LVT(!) Which allowed them to save on overall cost and extend the life of their new flooring purchase. // They loved their copper table, so we kept it and added new simple, mid-century modern chairs around it and a shiny new craftsman-style chandelier above. We added bright barstools in a burnt orange-red accent, and a bright woven rug to tie it all together. // Because the kitchen renovation was shaping up to be pretty spectacular, they decided they needed to now replace their ‘now-these-look-a-little-too-old’ upholstered seating in the neighboring great room with 2 new sofas. We found the perfect sage-y-grey fabric which we covered on sofa frames that have and exposed oak-wood base, which we finished in a warm weathered grey. // As every designer knows, a room isn’t finished until there’s something on the windows. Now that the new flooring was installed and every other room on the main level ‘seemed’ to be updated, we needed to update the window treatments in the dining, and great rooms to reflect their new design concept. I hope you find the ‘after’ photos refreshing (as refreshing as it was for me to work on something that’s not a “Farm House” style that’s saturating the industry right now!) This was such a fun project and a great collaboration with our contractor.

In our work, we see lots of big homes with big spaces. We also see small homes. And we’ll be the first to tell you that size isn’t what matters. What’s important is scale. Through design, we can make a small space look big—or make a big space look small. But more important, we can use scale to make your home interiors meet your functional needs while reflecting your personality, values and style. The Eyes Have It. When you step into a room, where do you look? Directing the eye is one of the magic tricks that designers use to create a particular effect. Bright red apples in a simple glass bowl immediately draws the eye to a kitchen counter. The hefty wood trivet and rounded concrete planter containing succulents echo the shape of the apples and the bowl, while adding new materials. A wood and metal stand holds an iPad or book for easy recipe reference, all atop an elegant light granite counter. In a separate arrangement, ceramic artichokes create shape and shine but maintain the neutral color for continuity. In this context, the eye is drawn immediately to the bright red color. That’s why sparse seasonal decorations can be more effective than heavy ornamentation. We can actually take in more when there are fewer items to focus on.

A well-organized closet isn't complete without accessories that enhance its functionality and maximize available space. Some of the most sought-after additions include valet rods, which allow you to prepare your outfit for the next day by extending to fit any space and adjusting to your height and preferences. A tilt-out hamper is ideal for storing dirty clothes, ensuring your colored garments stay separate from whites. An integrated ironing board eliminates the hassle of setting up a traditional one, providing a convenient fold-out option right in your closet. To simplify the organization of clothing accessories, tie and belt racks ensure your ties and belts are easy to find and neatly arranged. Drawer organizers keep items like socks separated and impeccably organized, making it effortless to locate what you need. A jewelry organizer is essential for safeguarding your collection, helping you categorize and keep track of all your pieces, streamlining the process of accessorizing when you dress. These accessories seamlessly integrate into a custom closet, enhancing its functionality and making everyday tasks more efficient.

Eichler X-100 Bedroom: A Private Retreat Defined by Light and Calm The bedrooms of the Eichler X-100 offer a quieter, more intimate expression of the home’s architectural vision—spaces designed for rest, reflection, and connection to light and nature. Conceived by A. Quincy Jones and Frederick Emmons for Joseph Eichler, these rooms balance simplicity with thoughtful design in a way that feels both modern and timeless. Minimalism with Purpose The bedrooms are intentionally restrained—free of unnecessary detail—allowing the architecture itself to define the experience. Clean lines, open volumes, and uncluttered surfaces create a sense of calm that feels almost meditative. Every element serves a purpose, reinforcing a lifestyle centered on clarity and ease. Light, Softened and Controlled Unlike the expansive public spaces, the bedrooms receive light in a more subtle way: Skylights filter daylight from above, creating a soft, even glow Carefully placed glazing maintains brightness while preserving privacy Light shifts gently throughout the day, enhancing the room’s tranquil atmosphere This approach transforms light into something quiet and restorative. A Connection to Nature—On Your Terms Even in these more private spaces, the X-100 maintains its connection to the outdoors. Views often extend toward interior gardens or landscaped areas, allowing nature to remain present without sacrificing seclusion. The result is a unique balance: open, yet protected. Integrated Within the Plan Positioned along the home’s central circulation, the bedrooms are seamlessly connected to the rest of the house while still feeling distinctly separate. The layout allows for easy movement, yet maintains a clear transition from public to private zones. There are no long corridors or wasted space—just efficient, intentional design. Comfort Through Design The bedrooms reflect Eichler’s belief that architecture should enhance everyday life. Radiant-heated floors, natural materials, and thoughtful proportions create an environment that is both comfortable and visually refined. It’s a space that supports rest without distraction. A Quiet Expression of Modernism While the X-100 is known for its bold experimentation, the bedrooms reveal a softer side—where modernism becomes personal. These rooms are not about making a statement; they are about creating a sense of peace within a larger architectural vision. In the Eichler X-100, even the most private spaces are designed with intention—proving that great architecture isn’t just experienced in grand gestures, but in the quiet moments of everyday life. image Sabrina Huang
