In this art-forward serene sanctuary, tranquility seamlessly blends with modernity. Elements of metal, stone, wood, and leather are thoughtfully layered against a neutral backdrop of whites, creams and neutrals. Classic architectural details add timeless charm, while curated Asian-inspired artwork introduces a sense of place. Contemporary furnishings and vintage accents strike balance between global influences and modern design. The result is a space that feels elevated, textural and deeply personal.

Our client wanted a kitchen that would be comfortable for both entertaining and cooking. We created a fresh and open space for this kitchen by using creative design and careful selections. The gray provides a contrast with the brighter hues to provide an exciting, yet still relaxing, feel. The neutral palate makes it easy to accent with different colors that are appropriate to every season. Now this kitchen is both beautiful and functional! Photography by Gail Owens

Our clients had just recently closed on their new house in Stapleton and were excited to transform it into their perfect forever home. They wanted to remodel the entire first floor to create a more open floor plan and develop a smoother flow through the house that better fit the needs of their family. The original layout consisted of several small rooms that just weren’t very functional, so we decided to remove the walls that were breaking up the space and restructure the first floor to create a wonderfully open feel. After removing the existing walls, we rearranged their spaces to give them an office at the front of the house, a large living room, and a large dining room that connects seamlessly with the kitchen. We also wanted to center the foyer in the home and allow more light to travel through the first floor, so we replaced their existing doors with beautiful custom sliding doors to the back yard and a gorgeous walnut door with side lights to greet guests at the front of their home. Living Room Our clients wanted a living room that could accommodate an inviting sectional, a baby grand piano, and plenty of space for family game nights. So, we transformed what had been a small office and sitting room into a large open living room with custom wood columns. We wanted to avoid making the home feel too vast and monumental, so we designed custom beams and columns to define spaces and to make the house feel like a home. Aesthetically we wanted their home to be soft and inviting, so we utilized a neutral color palette with occasional accents of muted blues and greens. Dining Room Our clients were also looking for a large dining room that was open to the rest of the home and perfect for big family gatherings. So, we removed what had been a small family room and eat-in dining area to create a spacious dining room with a fireplace and bar. We added custom cabinetry to the bar area with open shelving for displaying and designed a custom surround for their fireplace that ties in with the wood work we designed for their living room. We brought in the tones and materiality from the kitchen to unite the spaces and added a mixed metal light fixture to bring the space together Kitchen We wanted the kitchen to be a real show stopper and carry through the calm muted tones we were utilizing throughout their home. We reoriented the kitchen to allow for a big beautiful custom island and to give us the opportunity for a focal wall with cooktop and range hood. Their custom island was perfectly complimented with a dramatic quartz counter top and oversized pendants making it the real center of their home. Since they enter the kitchen first when coming from their detached garage, we included a small mud-room area right by the back door to catch everyone’s coats and shoes as they come in. We also created a new walk-in pantry with plenty of open storage and a fun chalkboard door for writing notes, recipes, and grocery lists. Office We transformed the original dining room into a handsome office at the front of the house. We designed custom walnut built-ins to house all of their books, and added glass french doors to give them a bit of privacy without making the space too closed off. We painted the room a deep muted blue to create a glimpse of rich color through the french doors Powder Room The powder room is a wonderful play on textures. We used a neutral palette with contrasting tones to create dramatic moments in this little space with accents of brushed gold. Master Bathroom The existing master bathroom had an awkward layout and outdated finishes, so we redesigned the space to create a clean layout with a dream worthy shower. We continued to use neutral tones that tie in with the rest of the home, but had fun playing with tile textures and patterns to create an eye-catching vanity. The wood-look tile planks along the floor provide a soft backdrop for their new free-standing bathtub and contrast beautifully with the deep ash finish on the cabinetry.

The remodel of this home included the entire main floor of this Forest Heights traditional home. The kitchen and breakfast nook shines with a clean, fresh, neutral palette leaving a beautiful backdrop for art and furnishings (furnishings completed by Amy Troute). But don’t let it’s neutrality fool you, it is not short on design details and smart storage! The island was designed to stand as a furniture piece in the room, with base cabinets pulled off the floor and legs capped with brass! Storage solutions include ample drawer space, blind corner pull-out, pantry pull-out, and plenty of sheet/tray vertical storage!
