Terren Landscapes http://www.terrenlandscapes.com 2014 PLNA Awards for Landscape Excellence Winner Category: Residential $30,000-$60,000 Award Level: Silver Project Description: Our company was contracted to do a master plan for the family who was in desperate need of a rear yard renovation. The existing lawn area remained saturated throughout most of the year and the runoff from the neighboring property ran across their back yard, down the side of their property and all the way to the sidewalk in front of their house. The water was so intense that it had begun to cut through the back yard and erode the soil across the sidewalk and into the nearby storm drain. By identifying these drainage problems and discussing solutions with the homeowner, we were able to design and create the aesthetically pleasing and sustainable solution of a rain garden. The goal was to slow down storm water runoff, and catch pollution and sediment by creating a rain garden that acts as a filter prior to entering the storm drain, while enhancing the aesthetics of the property. The rain garden created was a shallow depression, 12 - 16" deep that collects rainfall runoff from all downspouts of the home and water collected into perforated pipes underneath the lawn area. The perforated pipe begins at the highest elevation in the yard and ends in the rain garden, the new lowest elevation that has been excavated down to an 8" depth. The perforated pipe captures the runoff water and allows the water to seep slowly back into the ground as it runs across the property and into the garden. The garden was lined with a geotextile filter fabric to aide in removing contaminants from the water, prevent migration of the stone in to the soil, and minimalize maintenance. A large variety of plant material was chosen, focusing mainly on native wetland species for their tolerance of our local soil types, moisture conditions and the habitat they provide for wildlife. The garden was abundant with native wildlife and was a sustainable ecosystem for birds and butterflies upon completion of the project. After planting, we arranged decorative stone throughout the garden to slow the flow of water and help prevent erosion. The combination of vegetative and stone surfaces provides temporary storage for runoff before the water either evaporates or infiltrates the soil. The surrounding beds throughout the property were also all amended with compost and replanted with plants that work in harmony with the rain garden. The front, side, and rear yards are a beautiful display of colors that bloom throughout the seasons and the plants throughout the entire property provide food and shelter for native wildlife. The rear yard that was once a muddy play space for the kids is now a dry lawn space that can be utilized by the family and their neighbors. This multi­ functional garden has become the focal point of the residence. Photo Credit: Terren Landscapes

There’s nothing as wonderful as walking into a mid-century gem with clients who love the character of their new home. Our goal for this project was to incorporate the mid-century bones of this home into a new design that would better meet the contemporary needs of our clients. We started by taking down the walls that had separated this kitchen from the rest of the home and creating a welcoming space that blended seamlessly with the new open concept. The new kitchen design was a win for our clients with increased storage, more work surfaces, and a peninsula with plenty of seating. We utilized wood finishes through out this space with light wood flooring, medium-tones on the cabinetry, and darker wood accents throughout giving us a beautiful balance and a calm backdrop. This home had beautiful horizontal lines that we wanted to accentuate, so we selected a dark wood finish for the central beam and tied it in with the dark finish on the wood fireplace mantel and the stair handrail to emphasize the horizontal features. But we never miss an opportunity for a fun mid-century pop, and this home provided plenty of inspiration! The boomerang hardware on the cabinets and escher backsplash tiles give us great geometric elements to break up the clean lines of the rest of the space. One of our favorite features of this home was the original plaster ceilings with the custom hand troweled texture. We knew from the beginning that this was an element we wanted to maintain and accentuate, so when we opened up the kitchen and added recessed lighting we reached out to a local plaster artisan to carry the texture throughout the space, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. This design brings together the mid-century aesthetics of clean lines and fun patterns with the modern-day functionality our clients were looking for in their new kitchen.

Our most recent project involved transforming a plain basement into a stunning living space. The homeowners can now enjoy this beautiful area for many years to come. The Initial Phase: Design and Planning Every successful remodel begins with a well-thought-out plan. Our team started by stripping the basement down to its basic structure, preparing to build it back up from scratch. We designed the layout to maximize the space for its new purposes. These purposes include a fun entertainment area, a peaceful bathroom, and an energizing gym. Upgrading the Essentials: Installation of Core Systems The next step was to ensure the basement was ready to support the modern amenities we planned to install: We created a strong network system for seamless home entertainment and communication in the bar and gym areas. Plumbing: With the addition of a full bathroom and a bar, new plumbing was essential. Our experts installed a system that promised both efficiency and reliability. We installed new electrical and HVAC systems in the basement. We installed these systems to control the temperature and create a comfortable environment. The purpose of these systems was to provide a comfortable environment for the gym and bar. The Build-Out: Constructing the Space With the infrastructure in place, our focus shifted to constructing the main features: The bar is the main attraction in the entertainment area. The design aims to look good and serve a purpose, showcasing a stylish counter that is perfect for parties and special occasions. We built a full bathroom in the basement to provide convenience and comfort for anyone using the space. We created a modern gym for fitness lovers at home, providing everything needed for various exercise equipment. Finishing Touches: Aesthetics and Functionality As we neared completion, our attention turned to the details that would make the space truly shine: We added special lights to improve the atmosphere, with bright lights for the gym and softer lights for the bar. Using good materials and finishes, we made the basement strong and aesthetically pleasing. We made these choices to match the homeowners’ style and the purpose of each area. The Final Reveal: A Basement Built for Enjoyment The culmination of our efforts was a beautifully remodeled basement that promised endless hours of enjoyment. The new bar, bathroom, and gym areas enhanced the space. They transformed it from a simple basement into a central place for activity and relaxation.

This kitchen remodel by Talon Construction Inc. in Frederick, MD, is a textbook example of a modern transitional design. It successfully balances a bold, high-contrast color palette with functional, space-saving features. The renovation focuses on a clean, "crisp" aesthetic while incorporating industrial and rustic touches that keep the space feeling approachable rather than clinical. Design Aesthetic & Color Palette The most striking element of this kitchen is the two-tone cabinetry (often called "tuxedo" cabinets). This design choice adds visual weight to the lower half of the room while keeping the upper half airy. Navy Blue Lower Cabinets: The deep blue base cabinets and islands provide a sophisticated foundation. White Shaker Upper Cabinets: These extend to the ceiling to maximize storage and create the illusion of height. White Quartz Countertops: The marbled veining in the quartz ties the blue and white together seamlessly. Subway Tile Backsplash: A classic white tile with light grout provides a timeless, easy-to-clean backdrop. Layout & Functionality Talon Construction utilized a dual-island configuration, which is a high-end trend for homeowners who love to entertain or have multiple "chefs" in the kitchen. Prep & Social Zones: The inner island serves as a dedicated prep space with an integrated microwave, while the larger outer island functions as a breakfast bar for seating. Space-Saving Barn Door: A white, three-panel sliding barn door with industrial hardware leads to a laundry or pantry area, saving the floor space a swinging door would require. Integrated Appliances: The stainless-steel suite, including a French door refrigerator, slide-in range, and a convenient pot filler over the stove gives the kitchen a professional-grade feel. Finishing Touches The lighting and textures in this remodel really elevate the final look: Geometric Pendant Lights: The open-frame, lantern-style pendants add a touch of modern industrial flair. Warm Tones: The light wood-look flooring and a peek of a brick pillar (visible in the second image) provide much-needed warmth to balance the cool blues and whites. Hardware: Sleek, brushed nickel or stainless steel "pull" handles maintain the linear, modern vibe of the Shaker-style doors. Who does quality design-build kitchen remodeling in the Frederick, Md area? Talon Construction can help you with that.

In the heart of Concord, Massachusetts, a vision for a brighter, more expansive kitchen and dining area has been realized thanks to the collaborative expertise of Sunspace Design and fellow local professionals.

This project showcases our ability to seamlessly integrate bespoke glass construction into any project. The centerpiece of this transformation is a meticulously crafted 10’ x 17’ double-hip skylight framed in rich mahogany and clad in elegant cold rolled copper. The skylight’s design was engineered in-house and pre-assembled in our workshop to ensure a perfect fit while minimizing installation time. Utilizing high-performance Solarban 70 argon gas-filled insulated glass, the Sunspace team achieved exceptional thermal performance and optimal light transmission to provide a comfortable and luminous environment. We further enhanced the home’s existing Velux skylights with custom copper cladding to ensure a cohesive aesthetic. The copper exterior adds a touch of timeless elegance while the insulated glass secures year-round comfort. As always, we believe in the value of collaboration. This project demonstrates that value.

Whether you’re a homeowner looking for a sun-drenched interior or a professional aiming to integrate innovative glass solutions into your projects, we’re here to help.

Meet Kim: a partner in a downtown law firm. To say that she is short on time is a giant understatement. In the rare event she has a free moment, she wants to spend it with her kids, not fussing over home decor. That’s my cue! Kim is my favorite type of client. She didn’t know where to go or what to do. She leaned on me to explain and articulate design and style. She looked to me to make her home a mirror of her best self. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Fantastic human giving me a blank slate? Yes please! While Kim’s traditional home had a great layout and good bones, it needed updating to make it contemporary and fresh. It needed fixtures and knobs from this century. It needed a Lulu DK roman shade in the powder room. It needed a durable, snuggle-ready sofa with tufting and little patterns of texture. It needed drapery with small-scale drama. Throw in a Thomas O’ Brian cocktail table, and now there’s no shortage of conversation pieces. Little spaces make me happy – they are the most intimate snapshot of your entire home’s aesthetic – and this house has some good ones. I couldn’t wait to work with the nooks and crannies of this house. Kim’s sitting room, a small den off of the master bedroom, morphed into a craveable cozy space, a quiet adult respite from the occasional chaos of raising a family. The kitchen evolved into something quite unique: playful yet modest, dressed-up but centered. We used a favorite Lucy Rose fabric and Galbraith & Paul pillows to work perfectly with a fresh color palette selected during a prior-to-me renovation. A locally made kitchen farm table fit right in with the high-fashioned quirky blend of color, texture, and pattern. High-End + Color = Fun + Functional This is how we articulated Kim’s style and personality. She trusted me with her inner self, allowing me to get to know her and her real, everyday life. I built her a special space to reflect the beautiful life she made for herself. Nothing too fancy or off-limits to little hands, nothing too stuffy (snore!). Everything 100% HER. #nailedit See more Safferstone stuff at www.safferstone.com. Connect with us on Facebook, get inspired on Pinterest, and share modern musings on life & design on Instagram.

This is an enchanted bathroom! My client is a big hiker! He is in the beautiful Smokey Mountains every week hiking. I wanted to incorporate the imagery of the forst. I sourced an image from the Smokey Mountains and then worked with a local company, AZRAG Graphics, to have the image printed which was then applied on top of large smooth wall tiles. The true feat of engineering was the curved smokey glass shower encasement by TN Skyline Glass. The bathroom is long but narrow which called for very precise space planning. Without the obstruction of a sharp corner I was able to fit an ample size shower in the master bath. The accent tile supplied by Exact Tile fit the detailed aesthetic. Each tile is handmade showcasing a beautiful glass ombre finish. You will see the custom made Birch Tree. Beautifully crafted by State of The Art Stained Glass, the metal tree has individual stained glass leafs that are backlit by an LED diode. The tree travels up the wall, set in front of the custom stained glass window. The window was designed to be seen from both bathrooms. With the vaulted ceiling richly stained beams were added for added depth in the space. Another feature that I love is the custom stained glass gothic light fixture to the right of the shower. Forged metal frame from NY shipped to TN so that the glass could be selected and set to match the colors of the bathroom perfectly. I love hearing the "Oohhh and Awees" when guest walk in for the first time.

The project started by demoing the entire bathroom including a small office nook that was located next to it. This allowed more square footage to be added into the new plan. The original tub/shower combo was small and dated and therefore, had to be demoed. The bathroom was completely remodeled to include a new zero-threshold shower with a separate tub, a contemporary floating vanity with slab doors, a linen cabinet, and a new walk-in closet with vestibule built-ins on the other side of the bedroom. The custom walnut floating vanities, the linen cabinet and the 2 vestibule built-ins at the closet entry were created by a local craftsman. The central vanity is floating to create a more open concept and the walnut provides a more contemporary look. The vanity also has a seated area in the center in front of the window to maximize the most natural light. The materials palette is neutral in this bathroom, but with stunning elements like the walnut vanity, it really warms up the space and creates a welcoming environment. The fixtures in this remodel add to the sophisticated style of the space. The Kohler purist series can be seen throughout this remodel in the shower fixtures, the lavatory faucets, the wall-mounted tub filler and all of the accessories. The lavatory sinks are Carillon wading pool vessel sinks. A smart feature of this bathroom is the modern wall-mounted towel warmer that allows the homeowners to have a warmed towel rack within reach of their shower and tub area. Another smart feature of this remodel is the mirrors that have a de-fogger feature and also built-in LED’s inside the mirror. The chandelier installed over the tub also provides a stunning contemporary aesthetic. Along with the fixtures, the materials were chosen to give a more modern look to the space. For materials, a dramatic green subway tile installed in a straight/grid pattern is the feature of the shower area. A lighter gray 12” x 24” porcelain floor tile with subtle veining was used on the floor. The stunning white quartz with gray veining is on the tub deck, shower bench and top of vanities.

Features: Upgraded appliances, including a professional-grade range and a built-in wine fridge. The centerpiece of the remodel is the cathedral ceilings, creating a sense of openness and grandeur.

The coffee station is integrated seamlessly into the cabinetry and storage for coffee beans and mugs. Bonus room: A tucked away home bar that has the style and look of a small pub, just off the kitchen Addition 2: Purpose: To accommodate a new master suite for enhanced privacy and luxury. Design: A sophisticated retreat designed for relaxation and comfort. Features: A spacious bedroom, walk-in closet, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, and double vanity.
