The Avignon features breathtaking views of Quail West’s Arthur Hills-designed golf course and coveted southern exposure. Fully furnished by Romanza Interior Design, the open floor plan offers a formal dining room, study, second-floor loft and two guest suites with balconies. The kitchen, casual dining area and great room create a large gathering space, with rooms defined by beamed ceilings and archways. The first-floor owner’s suite features a sitting area framed by a rectangular bay window, a coffered ceiling and two large walk-in closets. Sliding glass doors in the master bath reveal a garden area and outdoor shower. The outdoor living areas offer motorized screens and insect control to enjoy uninhibited views of the golf course as you grill from the outdoor kitchen, or enjoy a relaxing swim in the custom pool, which includes a sun shelf and spa.

The classic, traditional wine cellars showcased here achieve a level of sophistication that is reminiscent of the grace and style of old Hollywood. In the first design, a brandy tasting lounge sits just outside the wine cellar, away from the temperature controlled cool air of the cellar environment. The warm tones cast by the wall sconces and the neutral colours of the seating area provide a welcoming atmosphere to what could be considered a quintessential gentlemen’s lounge. In the second cellar, the quality of craftsmanship routinely exhibited by PAPRO WINE CELLARS AND CONSULTING’s wine cellars is on display as the custom built wood wine racking is seen prior to being stocked with the owner’s wine collection. The final cellar shows a single wall of walnut wine racking, enclosed by three frameless glass walls, sits just outside the dining room in this traditional styled home. The custom built wood wine racking is made up almost entirely of individual bottle storage shelves are backlit to illuminate the unique vintages in the owner’s collection.

A magnificently placed home, The Lookout is configured to take advantage of panoramic views of the Elk Mountain Range and provide a pristine backdrop for the owner’s significant contemporary art collection. A strong central axis orients the flow of key interior spaces toward vistas and separates open public spaces from private living areas. A modern entry volume exposes the north side of the house to balance natural daylight for great art viewing. The cross axial relationship at the front door is perfectly aligned with a 10′-0″ wide glass pocket door that showcases the custom copper pool and mountain peaks beyond.

Bedroom - contemporary bedroom idea in Phoenix

The owner’s suite showcases a stunning grand chandelier from Restoration Hardware and more scenic views of the park reserve through large windows. The headboard wall is dressed with a gorgeous neutral wallcovering that compliments the colors and warmth throughout the entire suite.

Originally Built in 1903, this century old farmhouse located in Powdersville, SC fortunately retained most of its original materials and details when the client purchased the home. Original features such as the Bead Board Walls and Ceilings, Horizontal Panel Doors and Brick Fireplaces were meticulously restored to the former glory allowing the owner’s goal to be achieved of having the original areas coordinate seamlessly into the new construction.

This 2-story Arts & Crafts style home first-floor owner’s suite includes a welcoming front porch and a 2-car rear entry garage. Lofty 10’ ceilings grace the first floor where hardwood flooring flows from the foyer to the great room, hearth room, and kitchen. The great room and hearth room share a see-through gas fireplace with floor-to-ceiling stone surround and built-in bookshelf in the hearth room and in the great room, stone surround to the mantel with stylish shiplap above. The open kitchen features attractive cabinetry with crown molding, Hanstone countertops with tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. An elegant tray ceiling adorns the spacious owner’s bedroom. The owner’s bathroom features a tray ceiling, double bowl vanity, tile shower, an expansive closet, and two linen closets. The 2nd floor boasts 2 additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a loft.

A small project with a big punch encloses an under-utilized porch to provide sorely needed space in a cramped entry hall. Taking formal cues from the existing cedar deck fence and the angled planes of the house’s dutch colonial roof, this addition provides an updated entry hall to meet the owner’s sense of iconoclasm and penchant for entertainment.

Our clients wished to remodel their master bedroom and bath to accommodate their changing mobility challenges. They expressed the importance of maximizing functionality to allow accessibility in a space that was elegant, refined and felt like home. We crafted a design plan that included converting two smaller bedrooms, a small bath and walk-in closet into a spacious master suite with a wheelchair accessible bathroom and three closets. Custom, double pocket doors invite you into the 25-foot wide, light-filled bedroom with generous floor space to maneuver around the bed and furniture. Hardwood floors, recessed lighting and window views to the owner’s gardens make this bedroom particularly warm and inviting. In the bathroom, the 5×7 roll-in shower features natural marble tile with a custom rug pattern. There’s also a new, accessible sink and vanity with plenty of storage. Wider hallways and pocket doors were installed throughout as well as a completely updated seated chairlift that allows access from the garage to the second floor. Altogether, it’s a beautiful space where the homeowners can comfortably live for years to come.

Metallic fabric covering cushions in the master bedroom’s sitting area echoe the finish on the nightstands. “It’s a giant room,” says interior designer Sharon Fannin. “Upholstered panels on the walls make it more intimate, quieter. Area rugs also soften the hard surfaces.” Featured in the November 2008 issue of Phoenix Home & Garden, this "magnificently modern" home is actually a suburban loft located in Arcadia, a neighborhood formerly occupied by groves of orange and grapefruit trees in Phoenix, Arizona. The home, designed by architect C.P. Drewett, offers breathtaking views of Camelback Mountain from the entire main floor, guest house, and pool area. These main areas "loft" over a basement level featuring 4 bedrooms, a guest room, and a kids' den. Features of the house include white-oak ceilings, exposed steel trusses, Eucalyptus-veneer cabinetry, honed Pompignon limestone, concrete, granite, and stainless steel countertops. The owners also enlisted the help of Interior Designer Sharon Fannin. The project was built by Sonora West Development of Scottsdale, AZ.

The original kitchen was meant to accommodate staff only; revise room layout to accommodate the new owner’s active lifestyle. Remodel resulted in greatly improve storage capability in the space. It includes multiple appliances suitable for entertaining. The design team was conscious to keep the vintage character of the home in mind without designing specifically for the period of the house. This was done by incorporating very unique materials.

The owner’s suite closet provides direct, and convenient, access to the laundry room. We love how the matte black Whirlpool washer and dryer along with the white oak cabinetry contrast the warm white and gray tones of the Cambria “Torquay” countertops. A fun feature of this laundry room is the LG Styler, installed and ready to fulfill your at-home dry cleaning needs!
