Come on over! We took on the task of creating a master suite for a wheelchair bound homeowner. The owners wanted a space with elegance. And one that allowed the family to visit and entertain. We created this space. Photos: Marilyn Cunningham Photography

The walk in shower was designed for safety and ease of use for aging in place. The shower seat is incorporated into the base for easy cleaning. Grab bars are placed for easy maneuvering in the shower.

Summary of Scope: gut renovation/reconfiguration of kitchen, coffee bar, mudroom, powder room, 2 kids baths, guest bath, master bath and dressing room, kids study and playroom, study/office, laundry room, restoration of windows, adding wallpapers and window treatments Background/description: The house was built in 1908, my clients are only the 3rd owners of the house. The prior owner lived there from 1940s until she died at age of 98! The old home had loads of character and charm but was in pretty bad condition and desperately needed updates. The clients purchased the home a few years ago and did some work before they moved in (roof, HVAC, electrical) but decided to live in the house for a 6 months or so before embarking on the next renovation phase. I had worked with the clients previously on the wife's office space and a few projects in a previous home including the nursery design for their first child so they reached out when they were ready to start thinking about the interior renovations. The goal was to respect and enhance the historic architecture of the home but make the spaces more functional for this couple with two small kids. Clients were open to color and some more bold/unexpected design choices. The design style is updated traditional with some eclectic elements. An early design decision was to incorporate a dark colored french range which would be the focal point of the kitchen and to do dark high gloss lacquered cabinets in the adjacent coffee bar, and we ultimately went with dark green.

This bathroom was renovated with the long term in mind. A curbless luxury shower with custom glass surround, seat, and infinity drain, new custom vanity, marble-look porcelain tile, quartz counters, and custom mirror and millwork replaced a standard builder grade bathroom. Storage was planned so every necessity is in easy reach. Outlets were integrated so appliances could be stored out of sight in this elegant. bright, classic master bath.
