Phantom Retractable Screen Doors are a wonderful addition to any sliding glass door. The retractable screen is housed in subtle aluminum housing, maintaining clear views of the outdoors when the screen is not in use and never interfering with the door’s operation. This disappearing door screen provides insect protection and solar shading and comes in a variety of colors to easily tie in with your existing décor.

Modern living with ocean breezes __ This is another development project EdenLA assisted the client to finish quickly and for top dollar. The fun challenge of more contemporary spaces is how to make them warm and inviting while still maintaining the overall masculine appeal of their architecture. Water features, playful custom abstract art, unique furniture layouts, and warm stone and cabinetry decisions all helped to achieve that in this space. Beach Life Construction implemented the architect's indoor-outdoor flow on the top floor beautifully as well. __ Kim Pritchard Photography

This hanging room divider unobtrusively brings some privacy to the administrative space beyond the public seating area, yet still maintains the open, loft-like atmosphere.

The customer wanted to open up their kitchen into the dining room but didn't want to disturb the original wood floors. We cut through the wall to create the feel of one large room but maintain two separate areas. The results are amazing.

The goal of this remodel's design began with the homeowners dream to restore her cherished 1908 home to its vintage glory, updating it with Art Deco inspired touches while maintaining its original character and charm. In the kitchen; marble counters, unlacquered brass hardware, vintage mirrors, and a library ladder were used to accomplish the old meets new aesthetic. A custom hood with hand painted gold detail and a Lacanche French range are centerpieces of this timeless black and white kitchen. The show stopping powder room off the kitchen is a bright pop of color featuring Schumacher's Chiang Mai Dragon print wallpaper, vintage swan faucet, and a turquoise Cyan Design chandelier installed on the metallic gold ceiling. We are thrilled to announce that this project was featured in the April 2020 edition of Seattle Magazine. Design By: Jennifer Gardner Design Construction By: Matt Walters Photography By: Mary Hatch

Basement Remodel & Custom Built-Ins This project involved a complete basement renovation, transforming a previously unfinished and outdated space into a clean, functional lower-level living area with custom storage solutions. The project began with a full gut of the existing space, allowing us to reframe areas and rebuild the layout to better suit the homeowner’s needs. Key elements of the renovation included: • New framing and drywall throughout the basement • Installation of durable laminate flooring • New ceiling system with recessed lighting • Custom trim and finish carpentry • Installation of new stair treads and refinished staircase • Construction of a new framed closet with door installation • Custom built-in shelving units and storage cabinets • Fabricated custom access panels to maintain access to utilities while blending seamlessly with the finished space • Full interior painting and finishing One of the highlights of this project was the custom-built wall shelving system, designed to maximize storage while maintaining a clean, built-in appearance. The project also required custom carpentry solutions for access panels and built-ins, ensuring mechanical areas remain accessible without compromising the finished look. The completed basement now offers organized storage, improved functionality, and a fully finished appearance, turning what was once an unfinished utility space into a polished extension of the home.

  Free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW   This project started out as a kitchen remodel but ended up as so much more. As the original plan started to take shape, some water damage provided the impetus to remodel a small upstairs hall bath. Once this bath was complete, the homeowners enjoyed the result so much that they decided to set aside the kitchen and complete a large master bath remodel. Once that was completed, we started planning for the kitchen! The original kitchen was just large enough to accommodate an island and a separate pantry but felt a little cramped, especially during the weekends when the couple likes to entertain. The primary goal was to maintain the functionality of the current space, but to add some breathing room as well as to provide a view to the homeowner’s side yard and substantial Hosta garden. The solution was to bump out the space about 10 feet which provided ample room for large pro appliances, a large island for gathering and an upgraded pantry space. It was important to the homeowners to create a space that felt like it belonged in their historic 1866 home. Details such as matching new trim to the existing large custom profiles in the original home and re-purposing an existing door to be used for the new pantry, provided these touches. A large window at the main sink provides that view into the yard and a beautiful focal point for the room. A mix of painted wood and stained cabinetry gives the new kitchen a sense of belonging in the older home, as do the Super White quartzite that has the look of marble, subway tile backsplash, polished nickel lanterns and glass and mirrored doors. The large pantry, filled with custom shelving built to the homeowner’s specifications, stainless steel appliances and the two Galley Workstations – sinks that do double duty as prep space – ensure that not only does the kitchen look great, but also functions in a personalized manner that works perfectly for the occupants. Doing the bump out also allowed the opportunity for a small mudroom and powder room right off the kitchen as well as re-arranging some openings to allow for better traffic flow throughout the entire first floor. The result is a comfortable up-to-date home that feels both steeped in history yet allows for today’s style of living.

The fire crackles and the lighting in the pavilion assists with setting the mood, while the family is inside prepping smores. Matching custom lattice screens both the air conditioning units and the view to the neighbors back yard. Even at night the annual plantings make an architectural contribution to the overall landscape design.

This space includes a beautiful fireplace, a grilling and beverage center, and easy to maintain composite decking. There is also a doggy door to conveniently let the dog out to the back yard.

This historic farmhouse was given a breath of fresh air with white cabinets from Plain & Fancy Custom Cabinetry and a custom hand planed tiger maple island by a local craftsman. Bucks County Soapstone Company Inc was used for the countertops, giving the kitchen a feeling like it's been there all along. The original floors and ceiling beams were maintained, keeping the integrity of the space. Matt Villano Photography

The architects designed a unique pot rack to complement the custom pendant lamps at the center of this Pacific Heights kitchen. We brought their specifications to life with the crafting of an all-brass heavy-duty pot rack, brazed to maintain sharp corners. All parts were polished to a mirror finish and chrome-plated for a gleaming modern look.
