To maximize the space of the guest bedroom, we installed a queen size bed and furniture that matched in scale and proportion to the room. Soft, muted, neutral colored linens provide a backdrops for the acid green bedside table lamps that add a pop of color to the neutral room. The dark hardwood floors were carried into the master bedroom to provide continuity throughout the home. Keeping the furnishings sparse, allows for the future homeowner to envision how their furniture might look in their guest bedroom or child's bedroom. We kept the white paint color consistent through the home, so that there was continuity as you move from room to room.

Owners Dave Kruse and Carrie Norris worked closely with the homeowner to design this custom home in growing city of Ankeny, Iowa. The finish project won several awards as a featured home in the Greater Des Moines Home Builders Association Home Show Expo in 2012.

Hunter Douglas PowerView Designer Roller Shades were installed to ensure privacy and prevent harsh glares and unwanted heat when the sun sets. The custom upholstery also carries the blue accents in a very subtle way through pattern. Another sculpture painted in the same blue as the walls adds even more movement to the neutral colors around it.

One dramatic blue stone wall carries the whole small guest bathroom; the rest is kept in quiet large-format porcelain. A backlit oval mirror and a strip of light under the wood vanity make the ceiling fixture almost unnecessary. Compact planning like this is a constant in Cyprus apartments, where every square metre has to work twice.

The second bedroom carries a full desk setup without turning into an office. The workstation faces the window and the hills above Limassol, so daylight falls from the side rather than onto the screen, and the storage wall keeps cables and equipment out of sight. A practical solution for clients who work from home in Cyprus.

This overhead shot illustrates the wisdom of using LED fixtures; this particular model pivots 300 degrees to control the amount of light that fills the room and is on a dimmable switch. The recessed, tri-part mirror was custom built so that the wider center section opens to contain ample supplies of sundries. The quartz countertop material was carried deep into the garden window for a unifying effect. Finally, the scooped rectangular sink lends another note of modernity to this eclectic Master bath.

Designed with an open floor plan and layered outdoor spaces, the Onaway is a perfect cottage for narrow lakefront lots. The exterior features elements from both the Shingle and Craftsman architectural movements, creating a warm cottage feel. An open main level skillfully disguises this narrow home by using furniture arrangements and low built-ins to define each spaces’ perimeter. Every room has a view to each other as well as a view of the lake. The cottage feel of this home’s exterior is carried inside with a neutral, crisp white, and blue nautical themed palette. The kitchen features natural wood cabinetry and a long island capped by a pub height table with chairs. Above the garage, and separate from the main house, is a series of spaces for plenty of guests to spend the night. The symmetrical bunk room features custom staircases to the top bunks with drawers built in. The best views of the lakefront are found on the master bedrooms private deck, to the rear of the main house. The open floor plan continues downstairs with two large gathering spaces opening up to an outdoor covered patio complete with custom grill pit.

This is another bathroom we did for this client as well. You can see the spa inspired theme of the last bathroom carried over into this one as well. There is still a mix of neutrals, similar decor, and the same materials are being used.

Bathroom remodel on the 1st floor unit of a late 1800's Victorian home. Exiting vanity and toilet were located where shower now resides. Relocating plumbing fixtures for better flow and more space and painting the walls in a deep navy expanded the space. Bathroom is located off of the kitchen and therefore we carried the flooring into the room to help visually expand the space. Photography by Kristina Kosinski
