In the residential periphery of Lisbon, two physicians are establishing a home to grow their family. The original interior was conscientiously updated to serve as a pristine haven for the pair of professionals with busy schedules. Neutral walls, left bare to the interplay between light and shadow, are humanized by a verdant leitmotif inspired by their love of outdoor travel. Custom furniture from local craftsmen features simple volumes in wood and white tones that evoke a sense of both the natural and the minimal. Robust yet luxurious, child- and pet-friendly materials dress the interior. The kitchen and dining room were united into one open entertaining space at the heart of the home. Composite countertops chosen to match the existing stone window sills allot ample workspace and serve as a buffet for the adjacent dining room. There, a custom-crafted table and floating shelf provide a neutral canvas for soirées, while mid-century chairs and a dry floral arrangement by a local ikebana artist add a spray of color. The kitchen entrance was transformed into a virescent, multi-purpose pantry corridor, complete with integrated refrigerator and freezer. A corner niche in the foyer features the ceramic sculpture Gato Assanhado (Hissing Cat) by Bordallo Pinheiro, and a bespoke mirror reflects upon double doors to a living room configured for both work and relaxation; a tailored desk and drawer unit support the former, an ample couch and welcoming armchairs the latter. A vintage wooden sideboard and finishing touches from Portuguese flea markets imbue the space with local soul. PHOTOGRAPHY: © ALEXANDER BOGORODSKIY

During the day of planting (latter half of June) in raised bed #1 (delayed because of the cool 2026 spring and low soil temperatures). The soil is now warm enough to plant edibles which thrive in warm weather and prefer warmer soil: Tomato, Basil, Marigolds - all have similar preferences. It will not be necessary to mow any grass around the beds, because gravel (with a thick layer of cardboard underneath) prevents both weeds and grass from poking through, making for fewer maintenance chores.

The clients sought a serene indoor-outdoor retreat to unwind, featuring a spa-like bath with disappearing walls, a spacious freestanding tub, and abundant natural light. The layout was reconfigured for functionality, privacy, and a calm, timeless design that blends harmoniously with the home's aesthetic, creating a perfect space for relaxation and family visits.

Do you want the trim work to match your house? Are you a fan of accent pieces? We have even made rustic ranch-style a-frame covers. Types of Patio Covers A-frame Patio Roof Risers Polycarbonate Roofing Metal Roofing & More! Factors & Solutions Each house is different, and each person has an end-goal in mind. Our job is to determine the best creative solution. Height – Sometimes, we recommend attaching roof risers for higher clearance so you can walk around freely without worrying about needing to duck. Lighting – If natural light is important to you, polycarbonate is the best option. But, if you are sold on another roofing aesthetic, we can incorporate lighting. Ceilings – Open ceilings and rafters give it an understated look. Soffits, or ceilings, can bring the space to life. Several of our customers request a cedar tongue and groove ceiling to have that warm cabin-feel. Trim – We can wrap with cedar, pine, or even exterior trim.

The goal of this project, completed in collaboration with Julie Dunfee Designs, was to achieve a layout and contemporary feel more in tune with the client’s needs. The original bathroom was very traditional, and the layout consisted of two spaces – the vanity area and a large makeup dressing room area, the latter not being something the new homeowner felt they would use. So, we dove in and eliminated the divider wall making one large open space which now feels open, airy and bright. In addition to new vanity cabinets, a custom dresser was designed to provide additional storage for the homeowner. New herringbone white Thasos marble covers the entire floor and provides a sparkly backdrop for the dark gray cabinets and polished nickel accents. The existing tub and shower were re-purposed, and a new heated towel bar was added at the shower area. Unique lighting, mosaic tile at the tub area and lighted mirrors add the modern touches the homeowner was looking for.

What’s the difference between our 3-season porches and 4 season rooms? The latter are considered permanent additional living space and usually require construction which compromises the open outdoor feeling. This adds considerable cost and because they are considered a permanent addition could increase your property taxes as well.

Design ideas for a mid-sized shade side yard stone water fountain landscape in New York.

EDEN is a family of products for relaxation and slumber, including a chaise longue, a bed and a sofa-bed. The particular feature of the collection is the original frame in metal and wood, entirely covered with cowhide, giving the product a precise connotation of luxury, functioning as the back of the chaise longue or the headboard of the bed and sofa-bed. In the daybed version the L-shaped back forms a support for soft down cushions. The bed comes with a base in wooden slats, with or without a storage compartment, and the headboard can be enhanced by two adjustable lateral wings that open to accommodate small bedside tables. The sofa-bed has a wooden slat platform and comes as a double bed or two twin beds; in the latter solution, the second extractable bed is raised off the ground with a simple touch of the foot, thanks to a patented mechanism that greatly facilitates the operation.

This Highland Park home on Westway was built in 1929 and loaded with character. The homeowner was looking to remodel the pool but wanted to know if they should consider a redesign that included removal of the old pool and coming back with a new pool and landscape that was cohesive. They opted for the latter and this is the result. A more modern pool to transition the style a little, a new fire pit for the family to enjoy and a lot more usable space.
