Transitional living room photo in San Francisco

This foam pit playroom was made for a family with three active kids who homeschool—so it was important to create a space where they could burn off energy and build strength, rain or shine! The room features a large 5' x 8' foam pit, an awesome monkey bar and ninja course, and a cargo net tunnel that leads to a closet converted into a cool cargo net-floored fort. Plus, there’s an indoor basketball hoop and swings galore—endless fun! To top it off, we added a map mural that adds a sense of adventure and wonder to the space. It’s the perfect playroom for learning, growing, and playing, all in one place.

This playroom is every soccer-loving kid’s dream come true! Designed for two elementary school-aged boys, it’s now a kids soccer indoor playroom, complete with commercial-grade padded turf and inset white lines for that real-game feel. We also threw in some ninja elements, a yoga swing, and a basketball hoop, so there’s no shortage of action and fun. The boys can play soccer year-round, rain or shine! To kick things up a notch, we added a super fun, striped custom mural on the walls and ceiling, giving the whole space tons of energy. It’s the ultimate playroom for soccer, strength, and endless fun.

The 100-year old home’s kitchen was old and just didn’t function well. A peninsula in the middle of the main part of the kitchen blocked the path from the back door. This forced the homeowners to mostly use an odd, U-shaped corner of the kitchen. Design objectives: -Add an island -Wow-factor design -Incorporate arts and crafts with a touch of Mid-century modern style -Allow for a better work triangle when cooking -Create a seamless path coming into the home from the backdoor -Make all the countertops in the space 36” high (the old kitchen had different base cabinet heights) Design challenges to be solved: -Island design -Where to place the sink and dishwasher -The family’s main entrance into the home is a back door located within the kitchen space. Samantha needed to find a way to make an unobstructed path through the kitchen to the outside -A large eating area connected to the kitchen felt slightly misplaced – Samantha wanted to bring the kitchen and materials more into this area -The client does not like appliance garages/cabinets to the counter. The more countertop space, the better! Design solutions: -Adding the right island made all the difference! Now the family has a couple of seats within the kitchen space. -Multiple walkways facilitate traffic flow. -Multiple pantry cabinets (both shallow and deep) are placed throughout the space. A couple of pantry cabinets were even added to the back door wall and wrap around into the breakfast nook to give the kitchen a feel of extending into the adjoining eating area. -Upper wall cabinets with clear glass offer extra lighting and the opportunity for the client to display her beautiful vases and plates. They add and an airy feel to the space. -The kitchen had two large existing windows that were ideal for a sink placement. The window closest to the back door made the most sense due to the fact that the other window was in the corner. Now that the sink had a place, we needed to worry about the dishwasher. Samantha didn’t want the dishwasher to be in the way of people coming in the back door – it’s now in the island right across from the sink. -The homeowners love Motawi Tile. Some fantastic pieces are placed within the backsplash throughout the kitchen. -Larger tiles with borders make for nice accent pieces over the rangetop and by the bar/beverage area. -The adjacent area for eating is a gorgeous nook with massive windows. We added a built-in furniture-style banquette with additional lower storage cabinets in the same finish. It’s a great way to connect and blend the two areas into what now feels like one big space!
