This growing family needed more living space in their 1926 St. Paul, MN Bungalow, and had great potential in their unfinished attic for a new master suite. Castle began working with the city to grandfather some existing conditions in, like the steeper stairs and lower ceiling height to comply with building codes. New insulation, interior walls, electrical, heating, and a full interior finish was planned. The finished space incorporates traditional millwork matching the lower level of the home, a custom built-in bookshelf, new white doors, and pre-finished white oak hardwood floors in a rich Licorice stain. The dark floors and oil-bronze accents throughout the space really anchors the room and completes an overall bright color pallet with high contrast. In the new bathroom, a cement tile floor was selected to tie in the homeowner’s classy flair. Switching the finishes to polished brass inside the bathroom really brings a lux and regal feel to the space. Paired with traditional subway tile, white vanity, refurbished vintage medicine cabinet, and neutral walls, the new bathroom is elegant, yet understated. One of our favorite features is the use of the two existing dormers. One dormer was converted into a new walk-in closet with custom glass closet doors, so the light can still shine into the bedroom. The 2nd dormer, we left open for a quaint sitting and reading nook. See full details (including before photos) at http://www.castlebri.com/attics/project-3299-1/ Designed by: Emily Blonigen

This combination utilizes your favorite shrub with annuals. Pick a shrub that is hardy and re blooms for the summer to keep up with the long blooming annuals. This particular planter can be placed in a partial sun/shade location. Ganim's Garden Center LLC

Loved working with all the goodies this client gathered from her many travels. Great oriental dining set worked well with the changes to give her condo a fresh look. Starting with a custom valance in a modern woven leaf pattern finished with black and white licorice trim. The chandelier continued the leap pattern and the wall to the right was painted a rich red and showcased an amazing leopard painting. The lady lamp with the umbrella shade was graceful and artistic. Custom pillows added color and design to the off white sofa. An animal print rug defined the living room as it's own space. Two zebra chairs flanked the wall opposite the sofa. All rooms with the exception of the kitchen were a part of this project.

This area was originally home to mainly two trees. A large White Spruce and a Bradford Pear. Both succumbed to a violent wind in 2021. By the early summer of 2022 it became a Michigan garden designed with an Arizona feel. Western red pavers run through-out for maintenance and access. There are numerous species used here but also much repetition for cohesion.
