As a custom home builder, we've meticulously crafted a space that reflects the timeless beauty of Japanese aesthetics. The room features tatami mats, providing a soft, natural floor covering that adds warmth and authenticity. At the heart of the living room is a low, wooden table, perfect for gathering and enjoying tea in true Japanese style. Sliding shoji screens, made of translucent paper framed in wood, allow natural light to filter through, creating a soft, diffused ambiance. These screens also serve as movable partitions, offering flexibility in room layout and privacy as needed. Minimalist decor and a neutral color palette emphasize simplicity and tranquility, key elements of traditional Japanese interiors.

These empty-nesters designed their dream “in-town home” by evolving the kitchen in their former home to meet their needs today.

Builder's bulkheads... were a cheap simple way for home builders of years past (hopefully past) to cut costs and streamline projects, but cast away key elements such as functionality and aesthetics. Removing them...can be very complex...but extremely rewarding. Plumbing, structural, electrical and hvac components can lie hidden behind causing all manner of challenges. All worth it...wouldn't you agree?

In this kitchen remodeling project, our homeowners envisioned a clean and inviting Scandinavian-style space. To achieve their desired aesthetic, we prioritized several key elements. The first step involved updating the backsplash with fresh white tiles, creating a bright and airy backdrop that epitomized the Scandinavian design philosophy. The lighting in both the kitchen and dining room was meticulously chosen to elevate the space. We installed modern fixtures that emitted warm, diffused light, adding a cozy ambiance and enhancing the overall atmosphere. To further enhance the Scandinavian charm, the white kitchen cabinets were adorned with new gold hardware, providing a subtle touch of elegance and contrast. The gold sink faucet harmonized with the hardware, ensuring a cohesive and stylish look. A kitchen island was added to increase functionality, featuring matching white cabinets and a countertop, seamlessly integrating with the rest of the kitchen. Finally, the hardwood flooring brought warmth and natural beauty, completing the Scandinavian-inspired transformation. The result was a clean, inviting, and harmonious kitchen that perfectly captured the essence of Scandinavian design
