When designing this beautiful kitchen, we knew that our client’s favorite color was blue. Upon entering the home, it was easy to see that great care had been taken to incorporate the color blue throughout. So, when our Designer Sherry knew that our client wanted an island, she jumped at the opportunity to add a pop of color to their kitchen. Having a kitchen island can be a great opportunity to showcase an accent color that you love or serve as a way to showcase your style and personality. Our client chose a bold saturated blue which draws the eye into the kitchen. Shadow Storm Marble countertops, 3x6 Bianco Polished Marble backsplash and Waypoint Painted Linen floor to ceiling cabinets brighten up the space and add contrast. Arabescato Carrara Herringbone Marble was used to add a design element above the range. The major renovations performed on this kitchen included: A peninsula work top and a small island in the middle of the room for the range was removed. A set of double ovens were also removed in order for the range to be moved against the wall to allow the middle of the kitchen to open up for the installment of the large island. Placing the island parallel to the sink, opened up the kitchen to the family room and made it more inviting.

We had the opportunity to come alongside this homeowner and demo an old cottage and rebuild this new year-round home for them. We worked hard to keep an authentic feel to the lake and fit the home nicely to the space. ​ We focused on a small footprint and, through specific design choices, achieved a layout the homeowner loved. A major goal was to have the kitchen, dining, and living all walk out at the lake level. We also managed to sneak a master suite into this level (check out that ceiling!).

This unusual project involved taking the existing house down from the first floor sheathing up, and then putting a totally new house on the same foundation. They had a beautiful location they loved, but the old log cabin construction had deteriorated quite a bit on the exterior and the homeowners were tired of the dark interior. We were originally going to renovate, but their contractor recommended we start from scratch. This gave us some great opportunities!

Working on this beautiful Los Altos residence has been a wonderful opportunity for our team. Located in an upscale neighborhood young owner’s of this house wanted to upgrade the whole house design which included major kitchen and master bathroom remodel. The combination of a simple white cabinetry with the clean lined wood, contemporary countertops and glass tile create a perfect modern style which is what customers were looking for.

The owners wanted this cozy family room to be a space to gather and play games or visit with guests without the distraction of a tv. The cool and serene stacked marble of the fireplace gave us plenty of opportunity to play with color on the furniture and in the rug. The floating shelves lightened up the feel of the built-in cabinets, thus keeping the wall feeling light and airy.
