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.

Photographer: Chuck Heiney Crossing the threshold, you know this is the home you’ve always dreamed of. At home in any neighborhood, Pineleigh’s architectural style and family-focused floor plan offers timeless charm yet is geared toward today’s relaxed lifestyle. Full of light, warmth and thoughtful details that make a house a home, Pineleigh enchants from the custom entryway that includes a mahogany door, columns and a peaked roof. Two outdoor porches to the home’s left side offer plenty of spaces to enjoy outdoor living, making this cedar-shake-covered design perfect for a waterfront or woodsy lot. Inside, more than 2,000 square feet await on the main level. The family cook is never isolated in the spacious central kitchen, which is located on the back of the house behind the large, 17 by 30-foot living room and 12 by 18 formal dining room which functions for both formal and casual occasions and is adjacent to the charming screened-in porch and outdoor patio. Distinctive details include a large foyer, a private den/office with built-ins and all of the extras a family needs – an eating banquette in the kitchen as well as a walk-in pantry, first-floor laundry, cleaning closet and a mud room near the 1,000square foot garage stocked with built-in lockers and a three-foot bench. Upstairs is another covered deck and a dreamy 18 by 13-foot master bedroom/bath suite with deck access for enjoying morning coffee or late-night stargazing. Three additional bedrooms and a bath accommodate a growing family, as does the 1,700-square foot lower level, where an additional bar/kitchen with counter, a billiards space and an additional guest bedroom, exercise space and two baths complete the extensive offerings.

This Houston family room remodeling project by Keechi Creek Builders combines custom craftsmanship with functional design. Floor-to-ceiling built-ins offer ample storage and display space, anchored by a dramatic in-wall aquarium that serves as a stunning focal point. Warm wood cabinetry, leather seating, and layered lighting—including a statement chandelier and ceiling fan—create a comfortable and visually rich space. Open views to the adjacent kitchen and dining area enhance flow for family gatherings and entertaining.

The elegant dining room features a rich wood table surrounded by upholstered chairs with distinctive curved backs, creating a sophisticated yet comfortable gathering space. A striking brass chandelier with multiple arms and white shades provides both ambient lighting and visual interest overhead. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light while offering views to the outdoor terrace. The neutral area rug grounds the seating arrangement, and a large fiddle leaf fig tree adds a natural element that complements the room's warm wood tones and coastal aesthetic.

The Lakewood home is a charming and compact timber frame plan, offering one story living with the master bedroom suite, living, dining and kitchen all on the first floor. Two additional bedrooms and full bath upstairs are ideal for family or guests, and there is a loft overlooking the great room. The wrap around deck and screened in porch make this house perfect for any scenic location.

This serene master bedroom creates a luxurious retreat with its sophisticated four-poster bed as the stunning centerpiece. The dark metal canopy frame contrasts beautifully with soft gray bedding and the textured upholstered headboard. Matching gray nightstands with brass hardware flank the bed, while elegant wall sconces provide ambient lighting. Large windows on either side flood the space with natural light and offer glimpses of the surrounding landscape. A linen-upholstered bench at the foot of the bed adds both seating and style, while the neutral color palette of grays and whites creates a calming atmosphere perfect for rest and relaxation in this waterfront sanctuary.

A newly finished basement apartment in one of Portland’s gorgeous historic homes was a beautiful canvas for ATIID to create a warm, welcoming guest house. Area rugs provided rich texture, pattern and color inspiration for each room. Comfortable furnishings, cozy beds and thoughtful touches welcome guests for any length of stay. Our Signature Cocktail Table and Perfect Console and Cubes are showcased in the living room, and an extraordinary original work by Molly Cliff-Hilts pulls the warm color palette to the casual dining area. Custom window treatments offer texture and privacy. We provided every convenience for guests, from luxury layers of bedding and plenty of fluffy white towels to a kitchen stocked with the home chef’s every desire. Welcome home!

Flexibility abounds in this truly unique home where a free-flowing floor plan offers wide-open spaces designed for double-duty, lending functionality where it belongs, with the homeowner. You feel the grandeur the moment you walk in the front door, as your eyes soar up to the impressive two-story stair tower. Take a few more steps and you just might think you’ve gone back in time. In an intimate area just off the kitchen you discover the inglenook: a hearth with charming fireplace flanked by a pair of cushioned, built-in benches. From that moment on you realize…this is no ordinary home. Built-ins are nestled in corners where space might often be wasted, lending plenty of storage and convenience. A pair of boot benches serve multiple uses just inside the mudroom, while in each of the kid’s bedrooms you’ll find a desk suitable for a computer, or perhaps a quiet place to finish homework. And if that isn’t enough, there’s a secret nestled at the foot of the basement stairs. It’s every child’s dream…a playhouse for giggling and hours of fun…and it’s built right in, making it the perfect hideaway for little ones who want to escape to a secret and safe haven (while still under the close eye of an adult).

One of the most unique spaces in the home is the piano library, where Alan spends a great deal of time reading and working. This sunlit corner of the house is being reimagined with custom millwork, with built-in shelves that will stretch across the entire wall. The craftsmanship of the shelving will be a focal point of the space, with intricate details and seamless integration into the room’s architecture. The design is not only functional but also visually striking, offering a sophisticated way to display books, keepsakes, and treasures while adding depth and elegance to the room. The layout reflects both Alan’s daily routine and the family’s love for music, as the space also serves as a place for piano practice. The natural light streaming through the windows creates a serene environment, perfect for reading, reflection, or quiet moments. Complementing this warmth is a unique lighting design, which will highlight the millwork and cast a soft, inviting glow throughout the room. This one-of-a-kind lighting enhances the beauty of the built-ins, making the space feel both cozy and refined at any hour of the day.

The living room floor, built-ins and radiator cover were refurbished by the owner to open up the space and feature the natural light and enlarged windows. The unit offers an open floor plan configuration along with hardwood floors and unique details including renovated brick walls and two decorative fire places. We selected rental furniture and accent items that would appeal to a young and sophisticated buyer. Photo Credit: Douglas Elliman
