Loft Master Bedroom with elegant curved walk-in closet and custom-designed viewing platform. For the viewing platform the hickory flooring was carried up and used for the stair treads and platform floor, a metal and cable stairway and rail system was fabricated to mimic the floating stairway coming from the lower level, and sliding doors underneath create ample storage for this open concept bedroom. Because open designs often provide a storage challenge- for additional storage, we converted two RTA pantries into another closet which also serves to dilineate the sleeping area from the rest of the room. An upholstered 4-drawer platform bed and 2 drawer stacks converted to night stands add even more storage. The bulk head running on the long wall was covered with hickory flooring making it functionally multi-usage and a viewing porthole was created allowing a viewer to glimpse the riverfront outside from the 2nd floor. Finally, the detail of a hand-crafted curving shelf large enough to place plants or sculptures upon was added to the top of the stairway facing the curved walk-in closet.

The exterior of this villa style family house pops against its sprawling natural backdrop. The home’s elegant simplicity shown outwards is pleasing to the eye, as its welcoming entry summons you to the vast space inside. Richly textured white walls, offset by custom iron rails, bannisters, and chandelier/sconce ‘candle’ lighting provide a magical feel to the interior. The grand stairway commands attention; with a bridge dividing the upper-level, providing the master suite its own wing of private retreat. Filling this vertical space, a simple fireplace is elevated by floor-to-ceiling white brick and adorned with an enormous mirror that repeats the home’s charming features. The elegant high contrast styling is carried throughout, with bursts of colour brought inside by window placements that capture the property’s natural surroundings to create dynamic seasonal art. Indoor-outdoor flow is emphasized in several points of access to covered patios from the unobstructed greatroom, making this home ideal for entertaining and family enjoyment.

This master bathroom was ready for a complete transformation. The original space featured a drop-down ceiling grid with fluorescent lighting, low oak vanities, and a large, outdated Roman tub. The shower and toilet were tucked away in a separate, small area with a fiberglass surround. We completely reimagined the space to make it feel larger, brighter, and much more functional. The oversized Roman tub area became a spacious walk-in shower with a comfortable built-in bench. New KCD vanity cabinets brought a fresh, updated look, along with a tower cabinet for additional storage. Beautiful quartz countertops were installed on the vanities and carried into the shower design with matching quartz on the bench seat, windowsill, and niche. The former shower area was transformed into a powder bath, complete with a vanity featuring furniture-style legs and a new toilet. This separate powder bath is especially convenient when entertaining, giving guests their own space without having to use the primary bathroom. And of course, a remodel is about more than the finished space — it's also about the experience along the way. Working with the Johnsons couldn't have been easier! They stayed on top of their selections, communicated well, and made the entire process a pleasure. We love how this bathroom went from dated and divided to a beautiful, functional space designed around the way the homeowners actually live.

The Blanc Home Nestled in the heart of Mumbai, this 660 sq.ft. residence designed by Studio Dhi is a seamless blend of modern elegance and everyday comfort. The interiors embrace a soft, muted palette enriched with textures, prints, and pops of colour. Abundant natural light filters through the home, accentuating curated furniture pieces and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. Lighting plays a pivotal role across all zones of the project, carefully layered to enhance both mood and spatial perception. The design language is contemporary modern, with subtle hints of European charm. Defined by clean lines, tactile surfaces, and a neutral base, the white shell becomes a canvas for thoughtful detailing and personality. Each room carries a distinct identity while folding harmoniously into the larger narrative. The master bedroom exudes a warm, muted sophistication, while the mother’s bedroom is imbued with a feminine European touch—anchored in soft blues, blush pinks, and gentle greens. In the living room, a beige sofa grounds the space, complemented by fluted wall panelling and mirrored accents. A carved marble temple sits gracefully beside a mint-green console, set against a softly textured wallpaper backdrop. What elevates the residence beyond a modern European aesthetic is the layered craftsmanship—bespoke wall detailing, custom-designed furniture, and finely executed finishes. Art infuses colour and character, indoor greens soften the interiors, and a thoughtful lighting strategy highlights every crafted element. Together, these details create a home that is elegant yet personal, contemporary yet timeless.

When planning this custom residence, the owners had a clear vision – to create an inviting home for their family, with plenty of opportunities to entertain, play, and relax and unwind. They asked for an interior that was approachable and rugged, with an aesthetic that would stand the test of time. Amy Carman Design was tasked with designing all of the millwork, custom cabinetry and interior architecture throughout, including a private theater, lower level bar, game room and a sport court. A materials palette of reclaimed barn wood, gray-washed oak, natural stone, black windows, handmade and vintage-inspired tile, and a mix of white and stained woodwork help set the stage for the furnishings. This down-to-earth vibe carries through to every piece of furniture, artwork, light fixture and textile in the home, creating an overall sense of warmth and authenticity.

A riverfront property is a desirable piece of property duet to its proximity to a waterway and parklike setting. The value in this renovation to the customer was creating a home that allowed for maximum appreciation of the outside environment and integrating the outside with the inside, and this design achieved this goal completely. To eliminate the fishbowl effect and sight-lines from the street the kitchen was strategically designed with a higher counter top space, wall areas were added and sinks and appliances were intentional placement. Open shelving in the kitchen and wine display area in the dining room was incorporated to display customer's pottery. Seating on two sides of the island maximize river views and conversation potential. Overall kitchen/dining/great room layout designed for parties, etc. - lots of gathering spots for people to hang out without cluttering the work triangle. Eliminating walls in the ensuite provided a larger footprint for the area allowing for the freestanding tub and larger walk-in closet. Hardwoods, wood cabinets and the light grey colour pallet were carried through the entire home to integrate the space.

This outdated bathroom received a complete makeover, creating a space that’s both elegant and highly functional. To begin, we modified the framing to accommodate recessed medicine cabinets for additional storage while maintaining a clean, streamlined look. We also removed the large built-in Roman tub, opening up the room and replacing it with a beautiful freestanding soaking tub a new alcove shower that features a wrapped pony wall, creating an open feel while naturally containing the water. The homeowner originally planned on installing shower glass but ultimately chose to leave it open—and the design works beautifully, proving that thoughtful planning can eliminate the need for glass while maintaining both style and functionality. The space was finished with stunning white shaker vanities by KCD, topped with elegant quartz countertops. We carried the quartz throughout the shower with custom details including: ✔️ A custom quartz windowsill ✔️ Quartz caps on the pony wall ✔️ A quartz-wrapped corner bench ✔️ Custom quartz shelves in the shampoo niche We also added recessed lighting to brighten up the space. The combination of the wall tile, shower pan tile, and quartz selections came together perfectly, creating a timeless, bright, and luxurious master bathroom. Every detail of this remodel was carefully planned to maximize comfort, storage, and everyday functionality while delivering a clean, modern design our homeowners will enjoy for years to come.

This bathroom renovation was for a retired couple seeking to maintain independence and enjoy their master bathroom as a spa retreat. The existing space did not have sufficient storage, was poorly light, had a shower with a small entry, and a stepped large bathtub that was virtually never used. The couple sought to open the space, create a shower they could really enjoy, and create more accessible storage for them to utilize given the size of their bathroom, which was approximately 9’ x 13’. We removed the existing shower and bathtub. The walls were removed to open the space. We then framed back what would become the left wall of the new shower, due to the existing wall being both out of plumb and out of square. The floor joists were lowered inside the shower to allow for a curbless entry. This was necessary for us to install tile on the inside the shower in the way the owner desired. The tile inside of the shower was Celima Galeras Noce, in 12x12, 3x12, and 2x2(for the floor). The accent was a mini-brick Sunset Lava. The floor tile was replaced through the space, the toilet was upgraded to a Kohler comfort height toilet, and the bathroom received new base board and door casing throughout. Customized storage cabinets and open shelves were installed to the left of the shower. Lighting was upgraded and a fresh coat of paint finished off the space, creating a much brighter and lighter feel, which was in keeping with the open concept which carried through to the extra-large shower, shower glass, and open shelving.
