Located in Çeşme, İzmir, this project brings together contemporary outdoor design with the aesthetic strength of Serapool porcelain. The fixed seating area, crafted with Pool Garden Grey porcelain terrace tiles, creates a prestigious poolside living space with the sophisticated elegance of grey tones. The Olcay Mix pool tiles add a refreshing and balanced atmosphere to the swimming area. Thanks to the porcelain's water absorption rate below 0.5%, the structure delivers long-lasting performance. High resistance to UV rays, chemicals, and thermal shock ensures lasting comfort in outdoor conditions. A slip resistance rating of PTV ≥ 45° enhances both safety and user experience. The fixed architectural solution eliminates the need for storing outdoor furniture, offering added ease of use. This is not just a seating area—it’s a holistic design that integrates with its surroundings through aesthetic transitions, offering a functional and luxurious lifestyle.

Cooking for Two
Location: Plymouth, MN, United States
When this couple’s last child graduated from college they began the process of looking for a new home. After a lengthy search they decided to stay with the neighborhood they loved, saving money by remodeling rather than starting over.
The top priorities on their wish list were adding character to their 1990’s era home with a classic white kitchen and a larger island while keeping within the existing footprint. With the intention of honing their cooking skills, they were also considering better appliances and two ovens.
Challenges and Solutions
Design a larger island with seating for at least two. The existing island was small and the area behind the seating was less than recommended clearances.
To solve this challenge, the seating area of the island was extended out into the open area of the kitchen. This created a larger island with seating for three, extra storage and a bookshelf across from the range.
The original kitchen had a range with microwave above, so adding another oven was a challenge with limited wall space.
Because the adjoining dining room is used infrequently, the homeowner was open to placing the second oven and microwave in the walkway. This made room for the small buffet between the built in refrigerator and ovens, creating one of her favorite areas.
The client requested a white painted kitchen but wanted to make sure it had warmth and character. To achieve this the following elements were chosen:
1) Cabinets painted with Benjamin Moore Capitol White, a luminous and warm shade of white.
2) The Range hood was painted with warm metallic shades to reflect the bronze of the Ashley Norton hardware.
3) Black Aqua Grantique granite was chosen for countertops because it looks like soapstone and adds contrast.
4) Walker Zanger Café tile in Latte was chosen for it’s handmade look with uneven edges.
5) The to-the-counter-cabinet with glass door shows off serving dishes and lends sophisticated charm.
The result is a welcoming classic kitchen, where this couple enjoys cooking more often and sharpening their skills with gourmet appliances.

Master bathroom design & build in Houston Texas. This master bathroom was custom designed specifically for our client. She wanted a luxurious bathroom with lots of detail, down to the last finish. Our original design had satin brass sink and shower fixtures. The client loved the satin brass plumbing fixtures, but was a bit apprehensive going with the satin brass plumbing fixtures. Feeling it would lock her down for a long commitment. So we worked a design out that allowed us to mix metal finishes. This way our client could have the satin brass look without the commitment of the plumbing fixtures. We started mixing metals by presenting a chandelier made by Curry & Company, the "Zenda Orb Chandelier" that has a mix of silver and gold. From there we added the satin brass, large round bar pulls, by "Lewis Dolin" and the satin brass door knobs from Emtek. We also suspended a gold mirror in the window of the makeup station. We used a waterjet marble from Tilebar, called "Abernethy Marble." The cobalt blue interior doors leading into the Master Bath set the gold fixtures just right.

a linear window, minimalist landscape + hardscape design at the smooth stucco exterior further accentuates the horizontality of the mid-century modern exterior

This whole home interior painting and trim upgrade project in Lancaster highlights how a professionally executed finish can completely transform the look, feel, and flow of an entire living space. The project began with a dated interior featuring worn paint, visible wall imperfections, and aging trim that no longer reflected a clean, modern aesthetic. While the home’s structure remained solid, the overall appearance felt dull and lacked the brightness, consistency, and refinement homeowners are looking for today.
Our team began with a comprehensive preparation process across the entire home, which is one of the most critical steps in achieving a high-quality and long-lasting paint finish. Every surface was carefully cleaned, patched, and sanded to create a smooth and uniform base. All floors, fixtures, and furnishings were fully protected using professional-grade coverings, and trim lines throughout the home were precisely taped to ensure sharp, clean edges. This level of preparation not only enhances the final appearance but also ensures durability and consistency from room to room.
As the project progressed, premium-quality paints were applied using a combination of rolling and precision cutting techniques to achieve a smooth, even finish across all wall and ceiling surfaces. The selected color palette focused on modern, neutral tones designed to maximize natural light and create a cohesive, open feel throughout the home. At the same time, all trim, baseboards, and interior details were upgraded with a crisp white finish, adding contrast, depth, and a polished look that ties every space together.
During the final stages, detailed touch-ups and trim refinements were completed in every room to achieve a flawless, professional-grade result. Each edge, corner, and transition was carefully inspected and perfected, ensuring consistency and craftsmanship at every level. The transformation is especially noticeable when comparing the before and after, as the home evolves from a worn, outdated environment into a bright, modern, and refreshed living space.
Once completed, the home was staged to highlight its full potential and demonstrate how a whole home painting upgrade can dramatically improve both aesthetics and functionality. The final result is a clean, cohesive, and welcoming interior that feels updated, spacious, and move-in ready.
Projects like this showcase the value of expert craftsmanship and attention to detail in full-home interior renovations. Whether you are preparing your property for sale or looking to modernize your living space, a whole home interior painting and trim upgrade remains one of the most effective ways to increase both visual appeal and overall property value in Lancaster, MA and surrounding areas.
