Two years ago, we did the kitchen in this house. Now, in their downstairs, they have a guest suite they wish to convert into a party room with a kitchenette. The husband wanted a pool room and wine/bourbon room. The wife hosts Mahjong neighborhod parties and wanted a kitchenette and buffet area for serving food. First, we demo’d the entire space, took out the wall between the living room and the kitchen and replaced all the flooring with a hickory hardwood engineered floor. The remodel of the space included updating all of the wiring and lighting, including multiple smart switches to Alexa control lights that would have been difficult to wire otherwise. With the sheet rock patched and painted, we built back the room creating the “man-cave” vibe with dark wood floors, stained cabinetry and new lighting fixtures. The wine/bourbon room got a new large wine cooler. Finally, the pool table was relocated and recovered with new green felt. They both could not be happier with the result.

The mahjong room was designed to connect with the landscape outside, where moss-covered paths lead toward the water. A custom oak game table and built-in desk make it as suited to work as to play.

This space was the unused upstairs of a barn. We transformed it into the most lovely Mahjong room for the client and her friendsl

After opening up this lanai space that was previously only screened in and, therefore, only really enjoyable for a few short months here in SouthWest Florida, we had new sliding doors installed around the perimeter and added much sought after square footage to this high rise condo with sweeping views of the bay and the beach. With a custom bar down at one end to service the cozy conversation area, complete with four swivel club chairs around a stone-top conversation table, and the eating area, the area feels both spacious and intimate.

This inviting living space blends bold color with functional design, featuring a custom mahjong table as the centerpiece for game nights. A deep blue velvet sofa pairs beautifully with cognac leather chairs, accented by layered throw pillows in mustard and botanical prints. The traditional patterned rug ties together navy, gold, and terracotta tones while grounding the open layout. Natural wood bookshelves, potted greenery, and warm wood flooring add texture and warmth, creating a space that feels both elevated and welcoming.

Inspiration for an eclectic home bar remodel in Las Vegas

Our remodel of this family home took advantage of a breathtaking view of Lake Minnetonka. We installed a four-chair lounge on what was previously a formal porch, satisfying the couple’s desire for a warm, cozy ambience. An uncommon shade of pale, soothing blue as the base color creates a cohesive, intimate feeling throughout the house. Custom pieces, including a server and bridge, and mahjong tables, communicate to visitors the homeowners’ unique sensibilities cultivated over a lifetime. The dining room features a richly colored area rug featuring fruits and leaves – an old family treasure. --- Project designed by Minneapolis interior design studio LiLu Interiors.
