These empty-nesters designed their dream “in-town home” by evolving the kitchen in their former home to meet their needs today. The owner loves to entertain, and there were three key elements behind the design to make this kitchen a cook’s dream: accommodating a generous banquette for seating, an L shaped island with two full-sized sinks and dishwashers along with virtually indestructible Pyrolave countertops with integrated drainboards.

The tub was removed and a new larger vanity was placed across the room from the tub. The vanity wall wrapped around the corner leaving space for towel storage and a cabinet and appliance garage for toiletry storage and small appliances. Where the original vanity was located became a large shower with multiple shower heads and a bench.
A color palette of very soft colors for tiles and countertops was mixed with the contrasting walnut cabinetry. Lighting was a key element from the indirect undercabinet lighting to the lighted mirrors to the trio of hanging pendants between the mirrors.
The end result was a very pleasing, soothing space to retreat to and relax at the end of a long day.

Located in the historic Central Gardens neighborhood in Memphis, the project sought to revive the outdoor space of a 1920’s traditional home with a new pool, screened porch and garden design. After renovating the 1920’s kitchen, the client sought to improve their outdoor space. The first step was replacing the existing kidney pool with a smaller pool more suited to the charm of the site. With careful insertion of key elements the design creates spaces which accommodate, swimming, lounging, entertaining, gardening, cooking and more. “Strong, organized geometry makes all of this work and creates a simple and relaxing environment,” Designer Jeff Edwards explains. “Our detailing takes on updated freshness, so there is a distinction between new and old, but both reside harmoniously.”
The screened porch actually has some modern detailing that compliments the previous kitchen renovation, but the proportions in materiality are very complimentary to the original architecture from the 1920s. The screened porch opens out onto a small outdoor terrace that then flows down into the backyard and overlooks a small pool.

*BEFORE PICTURE*
This fully virtual design project was a collaboration with a Connecticut-based designer for a young professional woman looking to refresh her bathroom.
The goal was to blend mid-century modern elegance with contemporary luxury, creating a sophisticated, functional retreat.
I worked around key elements the client already had, like gold faucets and shower hardware, and took charge of selecting everything else—from limestone polished floor tiles to deep green zellige bathroom tiles, a custom toilet room door, wallpaper, and decorative accents. I designed a neutral color palette to complement the tiles and added a gold wall sconce, tying the space together with sophistication.
The heated towel rack and matching accents brought warmth to the space, all coordinated online with samples delivered across the country.

We took this very dated and drab 1970's bedroom and transformed it into and elegant and sophisticated room that you can't help but want to cozy up under the covers and stay in bed. Wall paneling, hardwood floors, crystal chandeliers and crown moulding through out were all key elements that creates an atmosphere of soft sophistication along with rustic charm that transports you into the french country side.

Black siding transformed this home in Maple Grove. This project left a lasting impression, transforming a home with worn and outdated vinyl siding which had been damaged by hail and Minnesota’s harsh climate, in a lakeside retreat. The homeowners sought a fresh look that would elevate both the aesthetic and functionality of their property, making the most of the beautiful lakeside views.
The first major update involved replacing the tired vinyl siding with James Hardie board and batten siding in the striking Shou Sugi Ban color. This deep, rich color brings an elegant, modern look to the home, offering both timeless appeal and exceptional durability. The board and batten style adds texture and sophistication, making the home stand out in the neighborhood.
To complement the dark siding, light-colored cultured stone was added to the front and lakeside, creating a beautiful contrast and enhancing the home’s curb appeal. The cultured stone not only adds a natural, rustic feel but also integrates seamlessly with the overall design, providing a warm, inviting entrance and lakeside view.
Another key element of the remodel was the transformation of the home’s windows. A bank of smaller windows was removed, replaced by a massive Marvin window that now serves as the focal point of the living room, offering unobstructed views of the serene lake. The project also included the removal of several diamond-shaped windows and a six-foot patio door, which were replaced with a sleek 16-foot patio door. This new installation opened up the space, flooding the home with natural light and creating a seamless connection between the interior and the outdoor beauty of the lake.
With these updates, the home in Maple Grove is now a stunning showcase of modern design and functionality, blending sophisticated materials with breathtaking views.

Blue-green walls, a large double vanity and an inviting glass-enclosed shower are key elements of the fresh and soothing guest bathroom.

This custom landscape installation in Parker, Colorado was designed to complement a newly built home with a clean, Modern Country aesthetic. As part of a large‑scale exterior project in the Metro Denver area, the landscape was crafted to enhance curb appeal, support long‑term durability, and create a welcoming outdoor environment that feels cohesive with the home’s architecture and surrounding terrain.
The design focuses on structure, simplicity, and natural flow—key elements of Modern Country style. Hardscape features establish strong visual lines and functional outdoor spaces, while plant selections were chosen for climate suitability, seasonal interest, and long‑term sustainability. Each component was tailored to the property’s layout and the homeowner’s vision for a refined yet inviting exterior.
Because this is a new‑construction landscape, the installation serves as the foundation for the home’s future outdoor living potential. The layout balances open areas with defined planting zones, ensuring the landscape will mature beautifully over time. Materials and colors were selected to harmonize with the home’s exterior finishes, creating a unified look from the street to the entryway and throughout the property.
This project reflects the thoughtful planning and craftsmanship behind every Stone & Flower Gardens installation—bringing together design, function, and Colorado’s natural beauty to create an exterior that feels timeless, resilient, and ready to grow with the home.

Bubbling sound is the key element in this small natural water feature.
