Kids' room - transitional kids' room idea in Chicago

While we typically focus on high end homes, this small 1980's house in Stafford sold for under $200,000. . We did a remodel and make ready for the homeowner prior to listing so they could take advantage of our hot market. This house is proof that good design can make inexpensive material selections look really good, and that you don't have to spend a fortune on a nice remodel.

This transitional-inspired makeover consists of a completely transformed kitchen, main living area, dining room and master bathroom. The concept of the makeover was focused on the spectacular vistas from multiple view points in each room. From this sixth floor residence the homeowners wanted to take advantage of the exquisite panoramic sunset views overlooking Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The kitchen was completely redesigned. The original kitchen featured outdated cabinetry and countertops, lacked good flow, had limited sitting space, storage and a small peninsula. The Green Mountain team designed a more functional and open space that flows into the living area and affords expansive vistas. The living room’s transformation was focused on the views as well. White walls provide more light and a sense of openness. A complete newly furnished living area with wall-mounted television, new lighting, decorator fan and contemporary furniture selections add to the ambience of the entire kitchen, dining and formal living room space. The master bathroom boasts a gorgeous wet room, a trending feature for upscale remodels. As open-plan living becomes increasingly popular, it’s no surprise that the concept has extended to the bathroom. For homeowners seeking a serene retreat that feels like a visit to a spa, wet-room-style bathrooms are a natural fit. The transformation this bathroom went through is truly amazing. From the fantastic tile selections, flooring, shaker-style white cabinetry, custom walk-in tub and wonderful countertops, this is truly day spa influenced space.

This bath was converted from a plain traditional bath to this stunning transitional master bath with Oriental influences. Shower with floating bench, frames glass snd black plumbing fixtures is the focal point of the room. A freestanding tub with floor mounted plumbing fixtures by Brizo. New Vanity with a Cambria Quartz Top, Roman style faucets and undermounted sinks keep the clean understand elements of this bath as the focus. Custom heated floor mat brings the ultimate comfort to this room. Now it is the spa like retreat the owners were looking for.

This master bedroom is a light-filled retreat designed to feel both calm and elevated. Expansive black-framed windows and oversized sliding glass doors flood the space with natural light while creating a seamless connection to the private outdoor balcony. The clean white palette enhances the room’s airy feel, allowing the architecture and natural surroundings to take center stage. Soft, plush carpeting adds warmth and comfort underfoot, balancing the modern lines of the space with a sense of everyday livability. Recessed ceiling lighting provides subtle, even illumination, keeping the room serene during the day and relaxed in the evening. The thoughtful layout offers generous wall space and flexibility for furniture placement while maintaining an open, uncluttered aesthetic. Designed for both rest and retreat, this master suite reflects a refined, modern approach to luxury living—bright, quiet, and intentionally simple, with every detail focused on comfort, light, and timeless appeal.

This spacious home in North Vancouver's Deep Cove community had been built and decorated just over 20 years ago and was in need of updating. Our clients who are empty nesters, spend much of their time in the kitchen and family room so we focused on these spaces keeping in mind that the more formal spaces on the main floor will follow in a few years time. For the most part the layout of their kitchen worked well for them so our role was to tweak the kitchen and family room furniture layout and to select updated finishes and furnishings. Since this home transformation is not happening all at once, we purposefully selected classic finishes, like antique brass hardware, that will tie in with the rest of the home's decor until it can be updated. The resulting refresh stays true to the original feel of the house while giving it a clean, updated look.

This 6,100 SF hilltop home commands a spectacular view of the golf course below and city beyond, while nestling gently and unassumingly into the native terrain. With its horizontal lines and deep overhangs, reminiscent of the Prairie Style of architecture, the home’s design and layout focus all attention toward the expansive windows along the west wall, providing an unparalleled panorama of the multi-level terraces surrounding the pool.

This project was a bachelor pad for a tech-oriented entrepreneur. We focused on the main Living & Kitchen areas, as well as the Master Bathroom. A 'black-and-white' motif was employed, and a particular focus was paid to the lighting. The kitchen ceiling was dropped to full depth to accommodate recessed lighting, and the living room was slightly dropped so we could 'slot in' modern Neoray light fixtures. We were able to remove a dividing wall housing only an outdated intercom conduit, which allowed us to significantly change the feel of the space by completely opening things up. Cabinets featured Abet Laminati 657 Holz Laminate, which not only is a budget friendly alternative to natural wood veneers, but is also easy to clean and maintain, and still manages to look great. Countertops and Window Sills were Caesarstone Pure White and Espresso, respectively. Erin & Erica Photography

In our Contemporary Bellevue Residence we wanted the aesthetic to be clean and bright. This is a similar plan to our Victoria Crest home with a few changes and different design elements. Areas of focus; large open kitchen with waterfall countertops and awning upper flat panel cabinets, elevator, interior and exterior fireplaces, floating flat panel vanities in bathrooms, home theater room, large master suite and rooftop deck.

The interiors utilize a graphic and geometric wall paper to unify the Foyer and pine paneling in the Library that lends a comfortable, old-world feeling. We used a beautiful custom finish on the paneling with linen damask upholstered panels. An Oushak rug is used as a feature point in the room. The Dinning Room has a unique v-groove wood “pyramid” ceiling treatment that adds height and becomes the room’s major feature. The contemporary graphic, custom-made rug anchors the large 12 person dinning table. The chandler is kept open and simple to accent the furnishings. The Living Room is two stories high with large glass windows, which allow for a light and airy feeling, complemented by soft, casual furnishings. A magnificent fireplace adds a point of focus. The Living Room opens to a comfortable screen porch shared with the master suite and overlooks the pool and marsh pond beyond.

Teton Heritage Builders was hired by the new home owners to remodel, complete unfinished spaces and add a guest master suite to the Gros Ventre Ranch. Strout Architects brought the continuity from the original owner’s design to the remodel and worked seamlessly with Snake River Interiors and the client’s team. The result was a one of a kind residence and a very happy client completed under Dan Clancy’s supervision, leadership and focus on a high level of quality.

Felsen Click Ceramic Plank (CCP) is the next evolution of wood-look tile. This ceramic-based product installs easily, without the need for grout, mortar, and additional preparation time. The waterproof planks are extremely durable, and resistant to warping, fading, and everyday wear. Its unique ceramic blend core allows Felsen CCP to be used with underfloor heating systems, and because it's extremely stable, it can be installed in longer runs without a transition, which is great for large, open floor plans.
