Our client purchased this lovely house for use as a vacation rental and wanted a hotel feel with a neutral, relaxing beach vibe. We worked with a tight budget to furnish and style this five bedroom home within a six week timeframe so they could get the property working as an income source right off the bat. It rented right away and we are thrilled our client loves the space. Photo cred Shannon Bailey - Lil Bird Photography Rent this home via SeaBreeze Vacation Rentals

Our clients purchased their home with no custom upgrades... this was the perfect blank canvas for our team to get started. Traditional elements and heavily carved moldings are some of the details found in the first floor. We chose cozy fabrics and furniture to accommodate this family of four. The master bed room suite has a bit of a transitional feel... the custom furniture pieces here are more clean and streamlined. We achieve added interest and texture with the use of different hardwood finishes. The master bedroom floor is a blonde hardwood with large hand knotted area rugs made from wool. An antique trunk at the foot of the bed works perfectly with the mirrored side chest and tall painted armoire. A modern update in the master bath included a glass enclosure shower with frosted sea glass tiles. Window treatments and accessories complete the rooms for that instant lived in feel. We love it!

This Kirkland couple purchased their home with the intent to remodel the lower floor into a master suite. H2D Architecture + Design worked closely with the owner to develop a plan to create an open plan master suite with a bedroom, bathroom, and walk-in closet. The bedroom and bathroom are divided with a two-sided gas fireplace. A large soaking tub and walk-in shower provide a spa-like atmosphere for the master bathroom.

These McLean homeowners loved their home, which they purchased several years ago, for its location and community feel. However, they knew that the blocky design of the main floor and outdated master bathroom were not to their liking nor their style. MOSS worked with them to create a large, open kitchen with a cozy dining nook that opened to the beautiful, bright family room, eliminating unnecessary walls, and to update the master bathroom to a more modern aesthetic with deep soaking tub, large walk-in shower, and matching vanities. Knowing they wanted to keep a modern “vibe”, MOSS focused on helping our customers choose the aesthetics, including paint color they chose, for the entire house, giving them a flow and feel that created the ambiance they longed for.

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.

To freshen up the master bath, the homeowners decided to put in a freestanding tub, curbless shower, and update all of the finishes. The Palissandro Azzurro floor tile and Bright White Ice 4x10 wall tile are from were purchased from Floor and Decor. The wall color is Sherwin Williams Nebulous White. The 62" Treece acrylic tub and Contemporary freestanding tub faucet are both from Signature Hardware.

The purchaser of this townhouse loved the general arrangement of the unit, but wanted the floor plan to be more open and much more contemporary aesthetic to suit her personal preferences. Penza Bailey Architects designed an extensive renovation to the unit in which every room in the house was updated. The more dramatic renovations included new exterior doors, a reconfigured Master Suite with new Master Bathroom, and a new kitchen which is now much more open to the great room (with an enlarged clerestory) and dining room. The result is a new home for the owner which truly reflects her tastes! Dwayne Van Horn

The master bedroom is still a work in progress, as we need some artwork over the mantel, but the fireplace with lighted sconces above create a warm cozy bedroom, while keeping things a bit more formal for the master. These two chairs were the customer's existing chairs which we recovered in a tan/spa blue wavy stripe from Robert Allen. The master bedroom furniture was existing, we just purchased a new bedding set from Macy's for it, and added some new bedside lamps. We chose a patterned carpet to create some interest, but still keep things neutral.

This delightful couple purchased this home with renovation in mind. It was situated in an ideal location, but required a serious update bringing modernization while keeping it’s 1940’s period charm. They asked us to design an elegant Master Suite, complete with a bedroom, master closet and elegant bathroom. While we make every attempt to maintain original walls and floors, this renovation required complete gutting of two bedrooms and closets to open the space and allow for all they wanted. In this process we were able to bring uneven floors and walls into level allowing for great end results. The finishing touches on this bathroom included custom white painted vanity and make-up table with White Carrara Marble countertops and a custom tile floor design using Carrara Marble tile. A free-standing tub and bridge faucets/ tub spout upped the game on a modern take on an old-world plumbing fixture. The glass shower completes this sophisticated space, which gives this master bath a modern twist on traditional. We then turned our attention to the master bedroom, touching it up with new paint and refinishing with a new master closet separating the bedroom from the bathroom.

Our clients had just purchased this house and had big dreams to make it their own. We started by taking out almost three thousand square feet of tile and replacing it with an updated wood look tile. That, along with new paint and trim made the biggest difference in brightening up the space and bringing it into the current style. This home’s largest project was the master bathroom. We took what used to be the master bathroom and closet and combined them into one large master ensuite. Our clients’ style was clean, natural and luxurious. We created a large shower with a custom niche, frameless glass, and a full shower system. The quartz bench seat and the marble picket tiles elevated the design and combined nicely with the champagne bronze fixtures. The freestanding tub was centered under a beautiful clear window to let the light in and brighten the room. A completely custom vanity was made to fit our clients’ needs with two sinks, a makeup vanity, upper cabinets for storage, and a pull-out accessory drawer. The end result was a completely custom and beautifully functional space that became a restful retreat for our happy clients.
