Inspiration for a traditional full sun gravel garden path in Cleveland.

Rather than starting with an outcome in mind, this 1,400 square foot residence began from a polemic place - exploring shared conviction regarding the concentrated power of living with a smaller footprint. From the gabled silhouette to passive ventilation, the home captures the nostalgia for the past with the sustainable practices of the future. While the exterior materials contrast a calm, minimal palette with the sleek lines of the gabled silhouette, the interior spaces embody a playful, artistic spirit. From the hand painted De Gournay wallpaper in the master bath to the rugged texture of the over-grouted limestone and Portuguese cobblestones, the home is an experience that encapsulates the unexpected and the timeless.

This Fairhaven, MA home now features a maintenance free exterior with new vinyl siding and replacement windows! After years of weathered shingles and drafty windows, this homeowner was ready to tackle some much needed home improvements. New vinyl siding with fabricated aluminum trim coupled with a whopping 36 new replacement windows was a major jump start to this home’s super sized exterior renovation. To replace the splitting, curling and cracked cedar clapboards and shingles, our homeowner chose Mastic 4″ Carvedwood 44 vinyl siding in Tuscan Olive. This vinyl siding replicates the texture and woodgrain of classic, painted cedar siding without the maintenance. With a wind rating of up to 200 mph and fade resistant color – this vinyl siding comes with Mastic’s V.I.P. Limited Lifetime Warranty.

The living room is too large for one sitting area, so we made two since the clients did not want to incorporate eating into this space. The Persian rug was bought at a Macy's sale before we started decorating and was the jumping off point for the whole decor. Stressless furniture for comfort was key for this retired couple. We mixed the high with low end toss cushions from Ikea and Home Sense.

This is the kids bathroom and I wanted it to be playful. Adding geometry and pattern in the floor makes a bold fun statement. I used enhances subway tile with beautiful matte texture in two colors. I tiled the tub alcove dark blue with a full length niche for all the bath toys that accumulate. In the rest of the bathroom, I used white tiles. The custom Lacava vanity with a black open niche makes a strong statement here and jumps off against the white tiles. This is a details shot to satissfy the design nerd in me. Take a look a the transitions of different matierals from teh floor tile to teh tub to the end of blue and start of white tile. The black schluter detail and the pocket door. Very well executed.

A short 42“ high pony wall was erected in the front yard with a gate for visitors and an electric gate for their cars. The front gate was inset into a niche which allowed for some stylish urns planted with dwarf Kumquat trees.
