We completely renovated this Haverford home between Memorial Day and Labor Day! We maintained the traditional feel of this colonial home with Early-American heart pine floors and bead board on the walls of various rooms. But we also added features of modern living. The open concept kitchen has warm blue cabinetry, an eating area with a built-in bench with storage, and an especially convenient area for pet supplies and eating! Subtle and sophisticated, the bathrooms are awash in gray and white Carrara marble. We custom made built-in shelves, storage and a closet throughout the home. Crafting the millwork on the staircase walls, post and railing was our favorite part of the project.

Custom sheer and blackout drapery installation in a custom-built waterfront home overlooking Lake Norman in Catawba, North Carolina. Designed to address the challenges of expansive lakefront windows, this layered window treatment combines elegant sheer drapes with custom blackout drapery on a double-rod traversing system. The homeowners wanted to enjoy natural light and their Lake Norman views while gaining better control over harsh sunlight, daytime glare and privacy. The sheer drapery provides a softer layer of filtered natural light during the day, reducing the intensity of direct sunlight while maintaining an open, airy appearance. The blackout drapery provides a second layer of light control and privacy when needed, making the combination especially useful for rooms with significant sun exposure. In addition to improving comfort, the layered drapery helps limit direct sunlight reaching hardwood floors, furniture and interior finishes. Reducing prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can help protect these surfaces from fading and discoloration. The double-rod traversing arrangement allows the sheer and blackout panels to operate independently, giving the homeowner flexibility throughout the day. This project illustrates how custom window treatments can address the practical challenges of lakefront living without compromising interior design. Custom drapery offers an attractive solution for oversized windows, large glass openings and custom-built homes where glare reduction, privacy, natural light and outdoor views are important considerations. Installed by Bloomin’ Blinds of North Charlotte, a locally owned father-and-son window treatment company. Rick and Cole provide in-home consultations, custom drapery, professional window measurements and installation, along with custom blinds, shades, shutters and motorized window treatment options. Proudly serving Lake Norman and surrounding North Carolina communities, including Catawba, Sherrills Ford, Denver, Mooresville, Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville and North Charlotte.

Old historic structures rarely contained closets. The choice usually is to frame a space, sheetrock and place a typical door. A wardrobe that is removable can offer more flexibility better usage of material, maintain the airy space and esthetically fit the home. We've created furniture free standing wardrobes, semi built in wardrobes all for the purpose of answering thinned of the home without closet space, or too little closet space.

Custom peninsula reef aquarium designed as a room divider within this contemporary New Jersey home. The aquarium was integrated directly into the architectural layout of the space to create separation between the dining and living areas while still maintaining open sightlines and natural flow throughout the home. The peninsula-style layout allows viewing from multiple angles and creates a strong visual focal point within the interior space. Projects like this require coordination between aquarium design, structural planning, cabinetry integration, plumbing layout, lighting placement, and long-term service accessibility prior to fabrication and installation. The system includes remote filtration and life support equipment located separately from the main display aquarium to improve serviceability, reduce equipment visibility, and maintain a cleaner overall presentation within the living space.

The conversion of this iconic American barn into a Writer’s Studio was conceived of as a tranquil retreat with natural light and lush views to stimulate inspiration for both husband and wife. Originally used as a garage with two horse stalls, the existing stick framed structure provided a loft with ideal space and orientation for a secluded studio. Signature barn features were maintained and enhanced such as horizontal siding, trim, large barn doors, cupola, roof overhangs, and framing. New features added to compliment the contextual significance and sustainability aspect of the project were reclaimed lumber from a razed barn used as flooring, driftwood retrieved from the shores of the Hudson River used for trim, and distressing / wearing new wood finishes creating an aged look. Along with the efforts for maintaining the historic character of the barn, modern elements were also incorporated into the design to provide a more current ensemble based on its new use. Elements such a light fixtures, window configurations, plumbing fixtures and appliances were all modernized to appropriately represent the present way of life.

The homeowner of this old, detached garage wanted to create a functional living space with a kitchen, bathroom and second-story bedroom, while still maintaining a functional garage space. We salvaged hickory wood for the floors and built custom fir cabinets in the kitchen with patchwork tile backsplash and energy efficient appliances. As a historical home but without historical requirements, we had fun blending era-specific elements like traditional wood windows, French doors, and wood garage doors with modern elements like solar panels on the roof and accent lighting in the stair risers. In preparation for the next phase of construction (a full kitchen remodel and addition to the main house), we connected the plumbing between the main house and carriage house to make the project more cost-effective. We also built a new gate with custom stonework to match the trellis, expanded the patio between the main house and garage, and installed a gas fire pit to seamlessly tie the structures together and provide a year-round outdoor living space.

We created a warmer space by adding a ribbon fireplace surrounded with tile and accented with an ebony custom cabinet. The addition of a custom LED cove detail adds a great contemporary feel while maintaining function. Millwork accented with Blue smoked glass at the back of each shelf.
