Maximizing space on Apple Tree Lane was the goal for the AJMB team and clients. The team had the opportunity to convert the space above the garage into a bathroom and numerous bedrooms.

The historic Edward H.C. Taylor home was build in 1890, it suffered substantial fire damage and required extensive restoration of the interior and exterior. We were thrilled to have the opportunity to work on this gem.

This fall, Amethyst had the opportunity to partner with Freeman Custom Homes of Kansas City to furnish this 5000 sq ft European Modern designed home for the Artisan Home Tour 2020! Every square inch of this home was magical -- from the secret staircase in the master bath leading to a private shuttered plunge pool to the vaulted kitchen with sky high mushroom colored cabinetry and handmade zellige tile. We met the builders during the cabinetry phase and watching their final, thoughtful design details evolve was such full of over-the-top surprises like the unique valet-like storage in the entry and limestone fireplace! As soon as we saw their vision for the home, we knew our furnishings would be a great match as our design style celebrates handmade rugs, artisan handmade custom seating, old-meets-new art, and let's be honest -- we love to go big! They trusted us to do our thing on the entire main level and we enjoyed every minute. The load in took 3 full trucks and fortunately for us -- the homeowners fell in love with several pieces so our uninstall trip was significantly lighter. I think we were all a little emotional leaving this masterpiece but sooooo happy for the owners and just hoping we get invited to a Christmas party... Here are some of the highlights -- 90% of the furnishings and rugs were from our shop and we filled in the gaps with some extra special pieces!

Our clients—philanthropists that split time between Chicago and Naples—embraced a rare opportunity to buy an adjacent unit and experience full-floor city living. With a vision for both intimate and large gatherings and minimal maintenance, we developed simple architectural details that organize the primary living spaces and integrate mechanical, lighting and structural elements. Their growing art collection is set against classic oak paneling, travertine and oak flooring and white lacquer finishes. Seeded glass and metal doors filter natural light into the center of the apartment and reflect city and lake views. The result is an understated yet inviting home.

Every so often we get the unique opportunity to collaborate with another designer. This quirky and elegant master bath could not have been more fun to be a part of. Meg Miller's incredibly cool vision for her clients' master bathroom was modern and bold, but refined, comfortable and inviting. The clients had specific needs for storage and the use of space, but didn't want anything to appear function-over-form. No amenities were overlooked: custom walnut cabinetry, heated floors, a digitally controlled shower and steam shower, and an all glass water-closet.

The Designers for Hope Showcase, which was held on May 14-17, 2015, is a fundraising event to help support the program and mission of House of Hope. Local designers were chosen to transform a riverfront home in De Pere, with the help of DeLeers Construction. The home was then opened up to the public for the unique opportunity to view a distinctively new environment.

This mountaintop site, the location for a proposed garage and shop would, from its second story, offer a million dollar view of the expansive valley below. This unusual building takes this opportunity to the max. The building’s first level provides various spaces for shops garage bays, and storage. Cantilevered roofs off each side shelter additional work space, and transition visitors to the apartment entry. Arriving upstairs, the visitor enters between private bed-bath spaces on the uphill side, and a generous open kitchen and living area focused on the view. An unusual cantilevered covered porch provides outdoor dining space, and allows the apartment’s living space to extend beyond the garage doors below. A library ladder serves a mini-loft third level. The flexible interior arrangement allows guests to entertain from the kitchen, or to find a private nook in the living area, while maintaining a visual link to what makes this place special.

Your family is unique and has specific desires, wishes, wants, and needs. Additionally, every backyard and home has its own special charm and set of opportunities and challenges. At All Seasons Pools, we take all of these details into consideration to create a truly custom Pool design that is sure to delight and inspire for years to come.

The private pool and terrace create a serene backyard retreat with direct views of the Intracoastal Waterway, offering both relaxation and entertainment opportunities.

The angles of the kitchen present a unique design opportunity. By using them to increase the workable space, the kitchen is opened up and feels more inviting.

When planning this custom residence, the owners had a clear vision – to create an inviting home for their family, with plenty of opportunities to entertain, play, and relax and unwind. They asked for an interior that was approachable and rugged, with an aesthetic that would stand the test of time. Amy Carman Design was tasked with designing all of the millwork, custom cabinetry and interior architecture throughout, including a private theater, lower level bar, game room and a sport court. A materials palette of reclaimed barn wood, gray-washed oak, natural stone, black windows, handmade and vintage-inspired tile, and a mix of white and stained woodwork help set the stage for the furnishings. This down-to-earth vibe carries through to every piece of furniture, artwork, light fixture and textile in the home, creating an overall sense of warmth and authenticity.

This project was an opportunity to design many of our favorite spaces: a stunning kitchen, a functional mudroom, unexpectedly funky wall coverings, and timeless brass finishes. Our clients, a family of four, loved their home but knew there were missed opportunities for functionality. We renovated their dated kitchen and designed an addition that houses a large mudroom-laundry room combination and a powder bath. We love the timeless sensibility of this reimagined home, juxtaposed by storied materials like handmade tile, woven textures, warm metals, and rustic woods.

The removal of the pool, fireplace and bonus room allowed opportunity for the home to add 674 SFT to their existing 1855 SFT home. This created room for an expanded master bedroom with a study nook,spacious walk in wardrobe and large master bathroom.It also for a new patio with better access from the living as well as master suite.

Painting a room a bright and bold paint color can be daunting. But, it doesn't have to be! A bathroom with white quartz countertops, white cabinets and white (marble inspired) hexagon floor tile, made for the perfect opportunity to inject color... and why not hot pink!

One advantage of a single story house is the opportunity for high ceilings. This kitchen has 18 foot ceilings with a plank oak floor and tall Ikea cabinets with custom doors.

Perched on the highest point on Nantucket, this “upside down house” optimized the available water views by placing the main public rooms and master suite on the second floor and carefully framing the major view to Madaket and the islands beyond. The wrap-around porch and second floor decks cater to the owners desire to maximize opportunities to explore the property and to encounter the surrounding views.
