Design ideas for a traditional backyard stone landscaping in Chicago.

This Paradise Valley stunner was a down-to-the-studs renovation. The owner, a successful business woman and owner of Bungalow Scottsdale -- a fabulous furnishings store, had a very clear vision. DW's mission was to re-imagine the 1970's solid block home into a modern and open place for a family of three. The house initially was very compartmentalized including lots of small rooms and too many doors to count. With a mantra of simplify, simplify, simplify, Architect CP Drewett began to look for the hidden order to craft a space that lived well. This residence is a Moroccan world of white topped with classic Morrish patterning and finished with the owner's fabulous taste. The kitchen was established as the home's center to facilitate the owner's heart and swagger for entertaining. The public spaces were reimagined with a focus on hospitality. Practicing great restraint with the architecture set the stage for the owner to showcase objects in space. Her fantastic collection includes a glass-top faux elephant tusk table from the set of the infamous 80's television series, Dallas. It was a joy to create, collaborate, and now celebrate this amazing home. Project Details: Architecture: C.P.

In this project, we had the joy of designing and renovating a home that embodies modern warmth, chic elegance, and an unmistakable luxurious feel, with a keen eye for detail throughout. Our goal was to bring our client's vision to life: a home perfect for both grand entertaining and the daily rhythms of family life. They dreamed of a welcoming space where friends could gather, share fine wines, and enjoy each other's company. Our highlight? Transforming an underutilized laundry room into an exquisite wine cellar. This exquisite space now proudly displays our client’s wine collection, creating the perfect backdrop for cozy gatherings as well as elegant entertainment. The transformation of the primary closet into a daily luxury experience stands out, too. We designed it to highlight every item, from the most delicate sweaters to the most refined suits, giving the feel of a private boutique. And for the beloved pets of the family, we introduced a charming addition—a doggy shower in the revamped laundry room. This delightful feature simplifies pet care and injects a dose of happiness into the home. The butler’s pantry has also received a makeover, turning it into a stunning and practical area for meal preparation. We're proud to have collaborated with our client to create a home that seamlessly blends stunning aesthetics with practical functionality, celebrating both the beauty of design and the comfort of living. This home stands as a testament to a lifestyle that values both special moments and everyday pleasures.

This basement apartment transformation by HouseHome reimagines a compact lower-level residence into a vibrant “Modern Collector’s Cottage” for a single woman seeking a home that feels electric, expressive, and deeply personal. Designed to celebrate individuality, the space was curated as a true copy-and-paste reflection of the client’s personality, blending her extensive collections, hobbies, and memorabilia into a cohesive, highly stylized interior. The result is a bright, playful, and elevated living environment that seamlessly unites design, modern comfort, and emotional storytelling. The design challenge centered on organizing and showcasing meaningful memorabilia, while blending multi-generational gifts, keepsakes, sports mementos, posters, and artistic collections into a space that still felt intentional and uncluttered. Through layered materials, bold color moments, mixed textures, and thoughtful spatial planning, HouseHome created a home that feels bubbly, surprising, and beautifully curated—never chaotic, always cohesive. Every surface, storage solution, and display moment was designed to support both visual impact and daily functionality. This project exemplifies HouseHome’s expertise in eclectic interior design, small-space living, and collector-focused styling, proving that high personality and high design can coexist in perfect balance. The finished apartment is now a joy-filled, organized, and an inspirational retreat that celebrates life, memories, and personal expression while delivering luxury-level styling in a highly livable form.

This gothic farmhouse design is an eclectic mix of vintage architecture and handcarved artistic pieces that celebrate the joy of its unique personality. The architecture details arches and high vaulted ceilings reminiscent of old world gothic design. The detailed triple arches with leaf and rose pattern give the decor a medieval period look. A vintage gilded mirror and rustic reclaimed oxcart daybed further enhances this effect. Add color with patchwork sari pillows and throws. Gothic interiors are all about dramatic opulence and old world style! Luxurious and grand the regal decor adds an elegant and classic statement.

Design ideas for a traditional drought-tolerant backyard stone landscaping in Chicago with a fireplace.

A modern interpretation A thousand confetti spreading joy and colour. The gaze is attracted, seduced by the deep nuances. This project takes inspiration from the battuto veneziano, and uses ceramic linear inserts to combine creative freedom and geometric rigour. Carnevale Veneziano is matter turned into poetry, with a style that celebrates tradition while skilfully rearticulating it. A retro collection, created for anyone who wants a floor with all the magic of a simple, yet powerful effect.

This custom racecar-inspired bedroom was designed to celebrate a major milestone, transitioning into a “big boy” space that blends fun, comfort, and functionality. A calming color palette sets the tone for rest, while playful racecar details, meaningful photo displays, and themed décor bring personality to life. Thoughtful features like a storage bed, washable rug, cubby organization, custom tire shelf, and cozy window coverings ensure the room supports both everyday living and imaginative play. The result is a space that grows with the child practical, personal, and full of joy.

This recreation of Tamera Mowry's Powerful in Pink nursery was an absolute joy! At Gaga Designs it is our goal to give you the nursery room of your dreams while keeping longevity in mind. All of the gold accents in this room are removable, even down to the wall stripes for an easy theme transition without the need for new paint (these temporary stripes from Tempaper are amazing! Check them out!).
