Walking through this property for the first time with the homeowner was interesting. We really do love historical properties and always want to see them returned to safe, comfortable, and very livable spaces. We saw a lot of opportunities in what some may have walked away from. The transformation was met with some challenges along the way as you might expect from a 101 year old home that had not been updated. We saw them as opportunities and created solutions for each one that we met. We started with structural engineering, and testing for asbestos and lead. Fortunately no Asbestos was present. We took everything down to studs and made sure the house was level and safe. We removed some walls, moved staircases and created a more functional layout for kitchen, hall bathroom, and added a bathroom to the master suite. The end result is a beautiful “new” home with all the charm of its long history in a gorgeous and quaint neighborhood in Madison, WI.

A PERFECT RED SALTBOX ON THE EXTERIOR, USUALLY MEANS A FAIRLY TRADITIONAL INTERIOR. NOT SO IN THIS CONNECTICUT HOUSE WHERE THIS ANTIQUE WITH SMALL BEDROOMS AND QUIRKY SPACES CALLED OUT FOR A MODERN APPROACH — OPEN SPACES, MIRRORS AND REFLECTIVE MATERIALS COUNTER THE WARMTH OF NATURAL WOOD FLOORS PAIRED WITH NATURAL FIBER RUGS. THE PROJECT STARTED WITH THE KITCHEN - AND A BRIEF THAT CALLED FOR A LARGE, OPEN AREA WITH A PENINSULA. KEEPING EVERYTHING WHITE LET THE VIEW POP! THE DINING ROOM + MAIN LR — PLAY UP A MODERN, WARM VIBE SO KEEPING THE BRICK FLOOR WAS A MUST, BUT WE ADDED FLOATING CHAIRS AND A NEUTRAL PAINT SCHEME THROUGHOUT. CUSTOM ARTWORK ON THE FRONT WALL BY JEFF BORTNIKER PLAYS UP A SUBTLE POP-ART FEEL. UPSTAIRS A MASTER SUITE KEEPS A NEW ENGLAND FEEL WITH TRANSOM WINDOWS BUT FEELS LUSH — WHILE A WALK-IN CLOSET (NEVER EASY IN AN ANTIQUE) UNDER THE EAVE OF THE ROOF-LINE GIVES A DRESSING ROOM FEEL. FAMILY BEDROOMS AGAIN MAKE USE OF EAVES AND RETURNS IN WALLS TO CREATE COZY NOOKS, HIGHLIGHTED WITH COLOR + GLOSS. WE WERE STRIVING FOR A WARM BALANCE AND USED ARCHITECTURE, TEXTURE, MATERIAL + COLOR TO ACHIEVE IT IN THIS FAMILY HOME.

When deciding to either keep a tub and shower or take out the tub and expand the shower in the master bathroom is solely dependent on a homeowner's preference. Although having a tub in the master bathroom is still a desired feature for home buyer's, especially for those who have or are excepting children, there's no definitive proof that having a tub is going to guarantee a higher rate of return on the investment. This chic and modern shower is easily accessible. The expanded room provides the ability to move around freely without constraint and makes showering more welcoming and relaxing. This shower is a great addition and can be highly beneficial in the future to any individuals who are elderly, wheelchair bound or have mobility impairments. Fixtures and furnishings such as the grab bar, a bench and hand shower also makes the shower more user friendly. The decision to take out the tub and make the shower larger has visually transformed this master bathroom and created a spacious feel. The shower is a wonderful upgrade and has added value and style to our client's beautiful home. Check out the before and after photographs as well as the video!

This dream bathroom has everything one can wish for an ideal bathroom escape. It doesn’t just look fabulous – it works well and it is built to stand the test of time. This bathroom was designed as a private oasis, a place to relax and unwind. Spa-like environment is created by expansive double-sink custom vanity, an elegant free standing tub, and a spacious two-person barrier-free shower with a floating bench. Toilet is concealed within a separate nook behind a pocket door. Main bathroom area is outlined by a tray ceiling perimeter. The room looks open, airy and spacious. Nothing interferes with the ceiling design and overall space configuration. It hasn’t always been that way. Former layout had serious pitfalls that made the room look much smaller. The shower concealed behind solid walls protruded into the main area clashing with the tray ceiling geometry. Massive shower stall took up significant amount of the room leaving no continuous wall space for a double sink vanity. There were two separate vanities with a dead corner space between them. At the same time, the toilet room was quite spacious with just one fixture in the far end. New layout not only looks better, it allows for a better functionality and fully reveals the space potential. The toilet was relocated to occupy the former linen closet space slightly expanded into adjacent walk-in closet. Shower was moved into the bigger alcove, away from the tray ceiling area. It opened up the room while giving space for a gorgeous wall-to-wall vanity. Having a full glass wall, the shower extends the space even further. Sparkling glass creates no barrier to the eyesight. The room feels clean, breezy and extra spacious. Gorgeous frameless shower enclosure with glass-to-glass clamps and hinges shows off premium tile designs of the accent shower wall. Free standing tub remained in its original place in front of the window. With no solid shower walls nearby, it became a focal point adorned with the new crystal chandelier above it. This two-tier gorgeous chandelier makes the bathroom feel incredibly grand. A touch of luxury is showing up in timeless polished chrome faucet finish selections as well. New expansive custom vanity has his and her full height linen towers, his and her sink cabinets with two individual banks of drawers on the sides and one shared drawer cabinet in the middle containing a charging station in the upper drawer. Vanity counter tops and floating shower seat top are made of high-end quartz. Vessel sinks resemble the shape and style of the free-standing tub. To make the room feel even more spacious and to showcase the shower area in the reflection, a full size mirror is installed over the vanity. Crystal sconces are installed directly into the mirror. Crisp classic white tile gives the room a timeless sense of polish and luxury. Walls around the perimeter of the entire bathroom are tiled half way. Three rows of 12”x 24” porcelain tile resembling white marble are crowned with a thin row of intricate glass tiles with marble accents, and a chair rail tile. Tile design flows into a spacious barrier-free two-person walk-in shower. Two more tile patterns of the same tile collection are brought into play. Rear wall is adorned with a picture frame made out of 12”x12” tiles laid at 45 degree angle within the same chair rail and glass tile border. Shower floor is made of small hexagon tiles for proper drainage. Shower area has two hidden from plain sight niches to contain shampoo bottles and toiletries. The rear side of the niches is made of glass mosaics for a waterfall effect. To showcase the picture frame inside the shower, the accent shower wall is washed with cascading light from a discrete LED strip tucked in a cove behind “floating” shower ceiling platform. Multiple shower heads (two ceiling-mount rain heads, one multi-functional wall mount shower head, and a handheld shower) are able to provide a fully customizable shower experience. Despite of many hard surfaces and shiny finishes, which can sometimes lead to a cold impersonal feeling, this bathroom is cozy and truly welcoming. This sense of warms is maintained by exclusive multi-functional layered lighting. Carefully designed groups of lights (all having a dimmer control) can be used simultaneously, in various combinations, or separately to create numerous different effects and perfect atmosphere for every mood and occasion. Some lights have smart controls and can be operated remotely. Amazing effect can be achieved by dimmable toe kick perimeter lighting. With the ceiling lights turned off, the vanity looks as if it is floating in the air. Multifaceted crystal fixtures produce cascades of sparkling rainbow reflections dancing around the room and creating an illusion of a starry sky. Programmable radiant heating floor offers additional warmth and comfort to the room. This bathroom is well suited for either a quick morning shower or a night in for ultimate relaxation with a champagne toast and a long soak in the freestanding tub.

Cool gray tones combine with glass, mirrors, and light to create a bright, airy master bath design in this East Lansing home. The focal point of the design is the extra large curbless, custom shower design. The frameless glass enclosure has French doors with glass return panels, and includes dual Kohler Memoirs Stately showerheads on each side along with a handheld showerhead and built in shower bench. The soothing gray tiled shower has a custom shower with reflective American Olean Morello mosaic tiles framed in a Schluter Quadec edge. Natural light shines onto the entire space and reflects on the glass door and tiles, creating a soothing effect in this spa-style design. The Diamond Cabinets by MasterBrand shaker style gray vanity offers plenty of storage and is a stylish element of this design. It is complemented by Richelieu transitional style hardware and a white quartz countertop, along with undermount porcelain sinks and Kohler Memoirs Stately faucets. A Fleurco Halo illuminated mirror offers an ideal place to get ready, with LED technology and warm white light.

This project is a (new) pool within an (existing) pool! The client asked me to remodel their extra large 1970s trapezoid pool that was lacking a spa and seating area. They wanted to make it into a focal feature of their yard allowing them to entertain and capture there scenic view in ways that the previous configuration prevented. On this property, it made sense for the new spa to be on the uphill side adjacent to the master bedroom -- not only for convenience but also for enjoying the views, and allowing us to overflow the spa so that the water could return downhill back to the pool. This is where the cylindrical glass tile “jewel” is situated. The vibrant color of glass was chosen to compliment (be the opposite of, in order to visually resonate and create a higher energy feel) with the ocher seen in the natural stone palette that the house gave us as precedent. Once the spas location was decided, the best views enjoyed by this property are located where the chaise lounges are now in the finished design. The previous pool occupied the space, and this prime area could not be accessed at all! Our second order of business was to carve out a destination space from the previous pool and give it back to be a furniture area for entertaining. Locating the chaise lounger deck across the pool presented a challenge that became a fun opportunity not to be passed up. The overflowing spa water had to return to the pool somehow, and the flowing water had to be crossed over to get to the Chaise lounge viewing deck. The solution? A bridge of course! And with the stairs ascending up to the spa, why not have a stairway like water feature underneath the bridge? The final touch on this design was omitting the weak and poorly executed vanishing edge, which had a horizon line finishing right into the rooftops of the homes below. Not the best aesthetic! To block the roof lines of the homes below and direct your eyes up to the mountain peaks beyond, a stone clad raised planter became the central focal point of the yard, allowing us to create a beautiful agave, yucca, and cacti display to be enjoyed from every angle of the home. Altogether the new configuration really plays off the angular shapes of the home, extends the pallet of materials around the yard, and makes the new space all that more enjoyable for the owners private and public entertainment.

Do you ever think about DIYing your closet renovation, but you’re just not sure it’ll turn out the way you want? This is where we found our recent client, Amanda, and her husband, Terry. DIY Dreamers The couple was in the middle of renovating their master bath when Amanda went down a Pinterest ‘rabbit hole.’ There in her endless scrolling, she was mesmerized by photos of beautiful master closets…efficient master closets…organized master closets…inspired master closets. Amanda began thinking…If she and Terry were already redoing their master bath, it only made sense to renovate their ensuite closet at the same time. They could even DIY it and save a little bit of money, too. Right? Amanda took measurements, researched closet organization systems online, and prepared to become a closet DIY warrior. But a little thought was holding her back. It wasn’t that she didn’t think they could do it themselves. Could they survive the stress of the renovation process? What if they ended up hating the result? What if they ended up hating each other in the process? That’s when Amanda found us and decided to explore a different option. A Professional Job – At the Same Price  Our Designer Felicity arrived for a consultation, worked up a complete closet renovation plan, explained our signature stress-free installation process, and gave the couple a price. The number ended up rivaling the final DIY cost. Amanda and Terry were sold (and relieved). The couple’s professional closet renovation & end-to-end installation took place over just 2 days last summer. They now have custom floor-to-ceiling closet organization – and new weight off of their shoulders that only comes with a clean, organized space. We later returned to revamp their daughter Savannah’s closet a few weeks later. Before you DIY your closet revamp, give us a quick call. We’d love to show you what we can do.
