Both the draperies and the roman shade were lined with room darkening lining in order to maintain perfect sleeping conditions even when the sun is up. We like to upgrade all our clients to room darkening especially if they work the night shift and sleep during the day, like to sleep in on days off, have small children and like to sneak in a nap when the babies are napping, or have bedroom windows with an Eastern exposure.

View of master suite from entry door looking out the window at the ski mountain and into the master bath at the right. This was a major remodel to an existing 1970 building. It was approximately 2300 sq. ft. but it was dated in style and function. The access was by a wood stair up to the street, with no garage and tight small rooms. The remodel and addition created a two car garage with storage and a dramatic entry with grand stair descending down to the existing living room area. Spaces where moved and changed to create a open plan living environment with a new kitchen, master suite, guest suite, and remodeling and adding to the lower level bedrooms with new baths on suite. The mechanical system was replaced and air conditioning was added as well as air treatment.

The homeowner wanted privacy and lots of light in their master bathroom. This door leads out to a deck that overlooks a beautiful marsh at sunset. This stained glass panel affords them all the elements they wanted. The subtle textures and colors in the glass make this panel interesting to enjoy in all different light conditions. This is something we consider when creating custom art solutions for our clients.

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.

The master bath was designed to feel traditional but have modern amenities. The claw-foot tub was removed in almost-perfect condition from a renovated apartment building, given a coat of paint on the outside, and a new hand-held faucet. A custom blend of hex tiles provides a floor that will last forever. The tile travels into the large custom shower, on the floor and as a surprise overhead. Short windows allow for beautiful daylighting. The height of the windows eliminates the need for shades or curtains.

The contractor added wood valances during this condo renovation to allow depth to add stationary drapery panels that would conceal the vertical blind stack behind the panels. The vertical blinds were in good condition and covered three large glass areas so the decision was made to keep them and conceal them behind the drapery panels.
