This custom-built residence was our client’s childhood home, holding sentimental memories for her. Today as a detail-oriented Dentist and her husband, a retired Sea Captain, they wanted to put their own stamp on the house, making it suitable for their own unique lifestyle. The main objective of the design was to increase the Puget Sound views in every room possible. This entailed some areas receiving major overhaul, such as the master suite, lesser updates to the kitchen and office, and a surprise remodel to the expansive wine cellar. All these were done while preserving the home’s 1970s-era quirkiness.

We often get asked whether it is suitable to install a freestanding bathtub in an alcove. The answer – absolutely! Freestanding bathtubs have been around for nearly 150 years, and they are still part of every day design. Available in endless shapes, colors and sizes. The freestanding bathtub has really evolved in terms of materials, aesthetics and comfort. We recently collaborated with the incredibly talented Andria of Andria Fromm Interiors in Nashville. Our customer Jenny was renovating her bathroom and Andria had a stunning vision. Jenny wanted a shower as well as being able to enjoy soaking in a bathtub. They decided that installing a freestanding bathtub in an alcove they created was the best option to enjoy the best of both worlds. The end result is simply stunning. She completely transformed the room by wrapping the entire bathroom in tile. A beautiful mix marble, and tile adds dimension to the entire design. Andria integrated some Earthy elements as well, some greenery and wood trim. Natural light enters from the window centered above the T & L Adoni freestanding jetted bathtub providing a view of the garden. The soft white matte finish on the bathtub gives the appearance of natural stone with a clean crisp finish. Sunlight bounces off the elegant gold accents bringing a charming glow into the bathroom.

The softened corners of the rectangular mirror match the shape of the sink and offer a nod to the subway tile. To see more from Normandy Designer Vince Weber, visit https://www.normandyremodeling.com/team/vince-weber

Our clients only wanted one sink in their master bathroom, but did want a separate vanity. This gives them added counter space and is a great area to apply makeup and get ready. Photography Credit: Mike Irby

New to Dallas from California, this couple engaged us to fully furnish and partially renovate their new Frisco home. They were uncertain of what to do with their new-Texas sized house, nor did they know which style was most fitting, but we had loads of fun figuring that out with them! They knew they loved white and neutrals, yet needed to balance that affinity with functionality, suitable for their young children. We brought in furnishings with light toned woods, scaled to fill up their large spaces, along with light and bright performance fabrics that would hold up even with small children and a beloved (not so small) dog. Incorporating textures were key in keeping depth within the designs and appears in rugs, floor tiles, bedding, wallpaper, and fabrics throughout. The glass light fixtures, organic inspired artwork, and monochromatic tiles keep things feeling casually elegant and completely livable. All together, the result is just what they wanted…a beautiful, calm-inducing, comfortable place they are excited to call home.

The exterior of the home features ornamental wooden gable and roof brackets as well as a three-window dormer. The front entrance, with it glass double-doors, allows ample natural lighting into the foyer. The foyer leads to a formal office on the left with a glass paneled barn-door style opening. On the right of the foyer is a formal dining room with a craftsman style tray ceiling and a wood-inlaid designer wall. There are hardwood floors throughout the home. The family room features an exposed beam coffered ceiling and a stone fireplace flanked by built-in cabinets and bookshelves. The family room flows through to the kitchen with its designer cabinets and expansive island, which is suitable for both food preparation and a seating area. The horizontal double-oven and the six-burner stove have the convenience of a pot filler for gourmet cooking. The pantry has an exceptional amount of shelves and sliding baskets for storage. The master bedroom has a sitting area, tray ceiling, personal refrigerator and wet bar. The exquisite master bath includes a soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, his-and-hers vanity and a water closet.
