Mutiny Bay Chair and Ottoman by David Gray. $4,750.00 set. 30 × 32 × 33"H. Fabric \ Cherry. David has been building the Mutiny Bay line of hardwood and upholstered seating for over a decade. Mutiny Bay is located on the west coast of Whidbey Island in the Puget Sound. The Mutiny Bay Chair and Ottoman are very comfortable yet modest in size, being perfect for condos or smaller scale living rooms. The furniture is made of solid cherry yet available in other woods by special order. The black details are inlays of solid ebony. Careful attention is paid to each detail, from the wood and upholstery selection to each step in the construction process. Custom-size end, sofa, and even dining and card tables are available to order with matching design elements. David's choice for fabric has come primarily from Sina Pearson Textiles, a small firm that designs their own fabrics in New York. Of course the furniture can be ordered with fabric of your choosing, including leather. Upholstery is done by Zavin Karaman and his wife Dorothy. Zavin is an old-world trained upholsterer who lives and works in Langley on Whidbey Island. Zavin was trained in Istanbul at an early age and has been doing upholstery all his life. He does each job with special care and attention.

Lexington Passive & Net Zero House

Bill Patterson. Craft Realty.

This is a new build that I helped a long-time client in renting out. Built with efficiency and style in mind. Easy connections to Route 2, I-95 and the train, this easily blends the in-town feel of Lexington, solitude of a lovely suburban neighborhood & great access to the city. This modern masterpiece is beautiful AND it conforms to the latest European passive house building standards. German-designed windows w/the highest levels of thermal efficiency seal out the elements & bathe the interior spaces with natural light. A 3-story staircase w/glass windows gives stunning views of conservation land and is the centerpiece of the house. Radiant heat provides pleasant warmth all winter while green roofing and solar panels insulate and power the home—all contained within a passive-level thermal envelope, ventilated by the latest Zehnder air-exchange technology providing the very best in indoor air quality. The kitchen’s outfitted with top notch appliances: Miele dishwasher, Sub-Zero fridge, Sub-Zero wine fridge, Wolf induction cooktop plus oven.

Beautiful Whole House Remodel - Glen Ellyn, IL

TKS Design Group

Free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW The Klimala’s and their three kids are no strangers to moving, this being their fifth house in the same town over the 20-year period they have lived there. “It must be the 7-year itch, because every seven years, we seem to find ourselves antsy for a new project or a new environment. I think part of it is being a designer, I see my own taste evolve and I want my environment to reflect that. Having easy access to wonderful tradesmen and a knowledge of the process makes it that much easier”. This time, Klimala’s fell in love with a somewhat unlikely candidate. The 1950’s ranch turned cape cod was a bit of a mutt, but it’s location 5 minutes from their design studio and backing up to the high school where their kids can roll out of bed and walk to school, coupled with the charm of its location on a private road and lush landscaping made it an appealing choice for them. “The bones of the house were really charming. It was typical 1,500 square foot ranch that at some point someone added a second floor to. Its sloped roofline and dormered bedrooms gave it some charm.” With the help of architect Maureen McHugh, Klimala’s gutted and reworked the layout to make the house work for them. An open concept kitchen and dining room allows for more frequent casual family dinners and dinner parties that linger. A dingy 3-season room off the back of the original house was insulated, given a vaulted ceiling with skylights and now opens up to the kitchen. This room now houses an 8’ raw edge white oak dining table and functions as an informal dining room. “One of the challenges with these mid-century homes is the 8’ ceilings. I had to have at least one room that had a higher ceiling so that’s how we did it” states Klimala. The kitchen features a 10’ island which houses a 5’0” Galley Sink. The Galley features two faucets, and double tiered rail system to which accessories such as cutting boards and stainless steel bowls can be added for ease of cooking. Across from the large sink is an induction cooktop. “My two teen daughters and I enjoy cooking, and the Galley and induction cooktop make it so easy.” A wall of tall cabinets features a full size refrigerator, freezer, double oven and built in coffeemaker. The area on the opposite end of the kitchen features a pantry with mirrored glass doors and a beverage center below. The rest of the first floor features an entry way, a living room with views to the front yard’s lush landscaping, a family room where the family hangs out to watch TV, a back entry from the garage with a laundry room and mudroom area, one of the home’s four bedrooms and a full bath. There is a double sided fireplace between the family room and living room. The home features pops of color from the living room’s peach grass cloth to purple painted wall in the family room. “I’m definitely a traditionalist at heart but because of the home’s Midcentury roots, I wanted to incorporate some of those elements into the furniture, lighting and accessories which also ended up being really fun. We are not formal people so I wanted a house that my kids would enjoy, have their friends over and feel comfortable.” The second floor houses the master bedroom suite, two of the kids’ bedrooms and a back room nicknamed “the library” because it has turned into a quiet get away area where the girls can study or take a break from the rest of the family. The area was originally unfinished attic, and because the home was short on closet space, this Jack and Jill area off the girls’ bedrooms houses two large walk-in closets and a small sitting area with a makeup vanity. “The girls really wanted to keep the exposed brick of the fireplace that runs up the through the space, so that’s what we did, and I think they feel like they are in their own little loft space in the city when they are up there” says Klimala.

Versa Villa

Versa Homes

This "Palatial Villa" is an architectural statement, amidst a sprawling country setting. An elegant, modern revival of the Spanish Tudor style, the high-contrast white stucco and black details pop against the natural backdrop. Round and segmental arches lend an air of European antiquity, and fenestrations are placed providently, to capture picturesque views for the occupants. Massive glass sliding doors and modern high-performance, low-e windows, bathe the interior with natural light and at the same time increase efficiency, with the highest-rated air-leakage and water-penetration resistance. Inside, the lofty ceilings, rustic beam detailing, and wide-open floor-plan inspire a vast feel. Patterned repetition of dark wood and iron elements unify the interior design, creating a dynamic contrast with the white, plaster faux-finish walls. A high-efficiency furnace, heat pump, heated floors, and Control 4 automated environmental controls ensure occupant comfort and safety. The kitchen, wine cellar, and adjoining great room flow naturally into an outdoor entertainment area. A private gym and his-and-hers offices round out a long list of luxury amenities. With thoughtful design and the highest quality craftsmanship in every detail, Palatial Villa stands out as a gleaming jewel, set amongst charming countryside environs.
