The mezzanine area if large enough can a showcase of mementos , books, artifacts, family portraits even a small sitting area. I placed 2 chairs in this space , so that when the home owners wish to entertain for a large gathering, they have the extra 2 chairs, and the folding ones can remain in the basement.

Client wanted some fine art travel photography specifically of Italy, Paris and London. She had recently visited Europe and wanted physical mementos to remind her of the wonderful vacation moments she'd recently had with her husband. She selected five 8x10 matted prints from my print collections (including Wonderful France and Romantic Venice). She asked me to frame them for her so she could then place them in the first floor hallway of her luxury residential property. This photo shows three of the prints she chose and has added, to date, to this very prominent place in her home. Since she has also acquired several other prints from my collections, she is working on getting those placed in her home also.

This home was designed with a casual lifestyle and multiple kids in mind. Furnishings in the open concept living areas are functional as well as relaxing. Earth tones and natural finishes provide the perfect backdrop to showcase the clients’ mementos from travels to Asia and Africa.

The owner of this 1960s, low-slung house challenged Board & Vellum to give it a major overhaul. Located across from Puget Sound, the house already had a lot to offer but the dated style, low ceilings, tight spaces and interior walls that blocked Sound views kept it from fulfilling its full potential.
Board & Vellum gutted and reimagined the whole house, giving it a more traditional style. The interior—previously quite dark, thanks to brick- and wood panel-clad walls—was transformed with white trim, bright detailing (such as the hand-glazed tile in the kitchen), and plenty of built-in casework for the homeowner to display the travel mementos she collected throughout her career in the airline industry. Removing a fireplace in the center of the house and opening up the floorplan through to the staircase and entryway lets light flood in and allows for water views from across the main living area and kitchen.
The exterior of the house received a dose of character with brick, corbels, and a curved eyebrow roof above the front entry, which also gave the home office area its distinctive barrel ceiling.

Built in 1951, this sprawling ranch style home has plenty of room for a large family, but the basement was vintage 50’s, with dark wood paneling and poor lighting. One redeeming feature was a curved bar, with multi-colored glass block lighting in the foot rest, wood paneling surround, and a red-orange laminate top. If one thing was to be saved, this was it.
Castle designed an open family, media & game room with a dining area near the vintage bar and an additional bedroom. Mid-century modern cabinetry was custom made to provide an open partition between the family and game rooms, as well as needed storage and display for family photos and mementos.
The enclosed, dark stairwell was opened to the new family space and a custom steel & cable railing system was installed. Lots of new lighting brings a bright, welcoming feel to the space. Now, the entire family can share and enjoy a part of the house that was previously uninviting and underused.

This large galley kitchen was taken down to the studs, and re-imagined to be bright and cheery. The traditional white cabinets feature glass-front doors and hidden features such as pull-out garbage bins, tray storage and dishwasher. The large cast-iron farm house sink from Kohler features double bowls that are separated with a low divider, making it easy to clean large trays and pans.

After losing their Rockport, Texas vacation home during Hurricane Harvey, this San Antonio couple made the difficult decision to rebuild. To reflect their easy-going nature, the family wanted to focus on relaxation and fun colors. On the ground floor there is a ramp to the amazing outdoor entertainment area with a kitchen, flat-screen TV, oversized island with barstools, glass garage doors and a great view of the canal!
A stairwell leads up to second and main floor where sliding glass doors open to a stunning living room with a double-sided fireplace. Wood-look, plank tile floors are a practical element and add to the coastal feel. The spacious, open concept continues into the kitchen, dining area and game room, and the powder bath with the Airstream barndoor adds a fun, “found” flair.
The two main bedrooms and private bath rooms, as well as the custom-built bunk room, are found on the third floor. Hidden nightstands on the bottom bunks are a special, functional feature, and a stunning glass tile wet bar with “live edge” shelves displays family mementos.

The kitchen island has been designed with a floating shelf that's not only ideal for food prep and acts as a buffet, but also doubles as a space for the kids to do homework. Electrical and data outlets were included in the design to ensure any task could be completed there.As well, display niches were added in every corner to help the family display a lifetime of memories and mementos without sacrificing storage space.

The original bathroom was much smaller and could not accommodate a free standing tub. We used part of the adjacent closet to enlarge the space and create a spa-like room for our client.
The space is flooded by the natural light from the skylight located above the shower. We brought our nature inspired palette of warm and earthy tones for the tiles. The floating asymmetrical custom vanity feels light despite of its large size.
We displayed more personal mementos and photograph’s from our client’s travels on the floating shelves and used white accessories to tie it all together. According to her, this is her favorite room in the house, a spa where she can relax and recharge.
