A restaurant that has been around for more than 20 years, Rebecca's was given a fresh new look to enhance their romantic date night ambience by bringing in classy, tailored, and hip features. A smoky blue envelopes the whole interior and it accented with custom woodwork, adding dimension to the walls. The existing bench seat backs were reimagined with a luxurious and velvety chenille in a channel tuft pattern for a lofty aesthetic and all chairs were repainted in a charcoal, translating that smoky look from one area to another. On the main wall, we hung unique mirrors with brass detail to give the woodwork by Paradigm Custom Woodworks more meaning and to reflect light throughout the dim-lit space. Greenery is strategically placed in multiple spots for a fresh, organic vibe as it adds a pop of color, and the new drapery was installed to fuse into the design and carefully frame the windows and entry. The counter area features an installation utilizing their house wines as art.
In the private sector of the restaurant, a funky geometric woodwork accent wall is made to add dimension and play with a custom graffiti mural created by local and renowned artist, Sebastian Ferreira. To balance out the many textures in this room, Fine Arts Designs installed concrete-look commercial-grade wallcovering which sits behind a custom neon sign for social media moments.
Out in the patio dining area, we brought Cuban textures in with the use of black and white encaustic tile which play nicely with the new South American Walnut butcher block tabletops.

Home away from home is where we often meet our clients, especially in Bend. They crave a welcoming and approachable, yet luxurious and well curated vacation home. This custom home in Central Oregon’s Caldera Springs neighborhood was no exception. An investment property the owners and their family will use occasionally, the home had to speak to their overall aesthetic, while graciously accommodating rental guests throughout the year. Design for each space was a collaboration with our clients, who selected “inspiration” fabrics and artwork that tell a story and bring warmth and personality to the home. We designed hard-wearing custom furniture, composed layers of luxe bedding, placed photography by local artist and photographer Chris Murray, and added comfortable and low maintenance furniture outside, where everyone wants to be year-round in Bend. Working with the property manager, we checked every item off a comprehensive list to outfit the chef’s kitchen and ensure guests would have all the comforts of home. This home is available for short-term vacation rental through Bennington Properties in Sunriver, OR.

Challenge:
This prestigious Bridle Path kitchen suffered from poor lighting and functionality issues that prevented it from reaching its full potential. Our clients desired a luxury kitchen that would serve as both a functional workspace and an elegant entertaining hub, requiring us to address the lighting deficiencies while creating a sophisticated aesthetic worthy of this upscale neighborhood.
Solution:
We transformed this space into a luxury kitchen that balances exceptional functionality with breathtaking beauty. The design centers around the stunning Taj Mahal quartzite, whose naturally elegant patterns became the foundation for all other design decisions. By addressing the lighting challenges and incorporating warm finishes throughout, we created a space that feels both inviting and sophisticated.
Highlights:
• Taj Mahal quartzite countertops and backsplash - the jewel of the space with naturally beautiful and elegant patterns
• Custom millwork cabinetry designed for both beauty and optimal functionality
• High-end appliances seamlessly integrated into the sophisticated design
• Warm finishes throughout that complement the quartzite's natural beauty
• Expert craftsmanship by skilled local fabricators ensuring flawless installation
Results:
The transformed kitchen now serves as a stunning centerpiece of this Bridle Path home, where the Taj Mahal quartzite's natural elegance takes center stage. This project demonstrates our ability to solve functional challenges while creating luxury spaces that celebrate exceptional materials, proving that sometimes the most beautiful design solutions let natural beauty shine without unnecessary embellishment.

Homeowner Services of Michigan (HSM) is excited to share the details of a new 16' x 22' family room expansion in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This project reflects our dedication to meeting our clients' specific needs.
Our clients approached us needing more space for their growing family and wanted a seamless integration with their existing home. After thorough consultations, we developed a plan to bring their vision to life.
The project began with careful architectural planning. We worked with a local architect to create detailed plans and secured all necessary permits to ensure compliance with local building codes.
Site preparation involved demolishing an existing carport, grading, and excavation to prepare the building pad for the new foundation. This step was essential to ensure a stable base for the construction.
Our team then focused on structural framing, tying the new addition to the existing home. We ensured that the new structure matched the current architectural style for a seamless blend. The addition was then roofed and sheathed to provide a sturdy and weatherproof exterior.
Next, we addressed the electrical work, installing new circuits for lighting, HVAC, and receptacles, and adding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to meet safety standards. A licensed journeyman electrician performed the electrical service to ensure high-quality and compliant installations.
Insulation and drywall installation followed. We installed batt insulation to meet or exceed Michigan Energy Code requirements. The interior surfaces were finished with drywall, taping, mudding, sanding, and priming to prepare for painting. Baseboard molding and trim around doors and windows added the finishing touches.
Exterior features were also important. We framed and installed new windows and a front entry door and added a front eyebrow vent feature to match the existing structure. Vinyl siding was installed to complete the exterior, ensuring a cohesive look and enhanced curb appeal.
Throughout the project, we maintained a clean and professional worksite, disposing of debris responsibly and minimizing disruption to the client's daily lives. Our focus was always on delivering quality and ensuring client satisfaction.
This home addition project highlights our commitment to understanding and fulfilling our clients' needs. We are proud to have added valuable space and enhanced the overall functionality and aesthetic of the home.
These folks had a vision, a budget, and a whole lot of patience. We got through this family room remodel during a global pandemic. What great people to work with!

A master bedroom with rich color, texture and personality!
With a colorful master bathroom that blends the perfect matte finish, semi-primitive blast of pattern with rich, saturated jewel tones and a little calacatta gold tile – determining the best fabrics and finishes for the master bedroom felt like a HUGE challenge. How do you stand up to something so fabulously unique and still create a soft respite for someone to slumber?!
This bedroom was a small space with existing Vetrazzo floors and an entire wall dedicated to floor-to-ceiling fixed glass pane windows. Between the cracks in the plaster ceiling and the lacquered pink dresser we knew we had our work cut out.
Saturated colors create a fairy tale bedroom
Fast forward to finding the perfect, sumptuously soft evergreen mohair for the headboard and furry tuffets for the foot of the bed. Texture became the name of the game and a certain level of color variation had to tie through from selection to selection. Cladding the walls with a gilt woven cloth wall covering that also pulled a sort of skin-tone clay from detail found in the Vetrazzo flooring (OMG! so pretty!) and grounding everything with a sort of deco-inspired one-of-a-kind wool rug. The layers of unexpected style helped develop a more collected – less stylized – feeling overall.
Then it was bye-bye to the pink lacquer! A local artisan worked on a faux finish for the custom dresser that the client had already invested in and we just gave it a refresh with a deep bronze finish. Balancing this piece with the playful silk tassel pendant lights that frame a beautiful original painting of red headed queens by artist Nancy Rhodes Harper.
Exquisite lighting for a sexy master bedroom
Additionally, the swirl and swoop of the forged metal light fixture overhead play off the more structured spinal-column type pattern of the black out window treatments that truly act as their own piece of art. Each element has its place and plays with the visual and textural aesthetics that make our client (and our team) swoon.

These engaging homeowners are fortuitous enough to reside in a three level townhouse on a quiet street in
downtown Minneapolis. This couple loves to entertain and host family holidays. Spaces are tight in most
urban areas. This townhome is no exception. There was nothing horribly wrong with the way the home
was laid out, it just did not serve the needs of the family. The kitchen was tucked up front and forced into
a small space, making it difficult for multiple people to be in the space at the same time. The homeowners
also wished to upgrade to professional appliances. Due to size and mechanical code restrictions, this was just
not possible in the existing space. The back of the townhome had a large living room and good sized dining
room. Off this space is a shaded deck and swimming pool, which are used all the time. Traffic always ran from
the outdoor entertaining space directly to the kitchen in the front. Not only was this inconvenient, a mess was
dragged in from wet swimmers.
To alleviate these challenges, we moved the kitchen from the smaller space at the front of the home to the
larger space the under utilized living room furniture occupied. This allowed us to curate a large kitchen that
fits all their needs, wants, and aesthetic desires. Now there is plenty of room to cook, relax, and bustle about.
We also added a wet bar next to the patio door in the dining room. Right by the door is a beverage cooler from
which guests may grab beverages and snacks without dragging the outside in with them.
Being the homeowners and designer are all members of the creative community in the Twin Cities, it was important
to incorporate the work of local artists. This kitchen is fully curated with all Minnesota products (with the exception
of the appliances, which are manufactured in Wisconsin). The cabinets and countertops are from larger local
companies, while all the other features are hand made by near by artists. These artisan products include a custom
stainless steel range hood, black powder coated table base and fireplace mantel, hand made tile for the backsplash
and fireplace surround, wood elevated island table, and wood panel backsplash at the bar. Hand made tiles had
previously been installed in the existing kitchen. The color of these tiles is no longer available. It was the home-
owners desire to preserve these tiles somehow. We cut the tile off the walls and soaked the drywall from them.
We then installed them in the powder room as a feature behind the vanity and mirror.
