Working closely with the architect and owners, we designed an estate landscape that realized this family’s vision for rugged charm that both recalls their Southern roots and draws upon the horticultural richness of the Bay Area. Photography by Marion Brenner

This bathroom is a glam/bohemian combination perfectly attuned to the Palm Springs client I was working for. Both modern and vintage pieces marry the style, and make it feel both lived in, AND entirely unique! Photo Cred: Fred Moser

Crowded Master Bathroom was impeding the sale of a magnificent water front property. As a result we transformed the bathroom in to a light and airy space that beckons any home owner to enter to a spa looking space with upscale fixtures and amenities. We offered our client contractor discounted pricing toward the purchase of all Bathroom Plumbing Fittings including the vessel tub, vanity and bathroom fixtures. Tiles were provided at deep discounted while sale prices. Vanity top, Saddles and other marble pieces were all custom fabricated in our shops and installed by our Renovation Expert Technicians.

Like a number of larger Rosedale homes, this one had been subdivided into a number of luxury rental flats. We added this conservatory to the owner’s ground floor flat, allowing him to enjoy the morning light in his substantial garden

This entire property holds so many mementos. Not only from the owner’s travels but also from the history of the land itself. Prior to our Africa Safari home, this land had a home designed by John H. Howe, one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s first apprentices. The house was torn down; however, this outdoor living area was preserved and used in the backyard design of our Africa Safari home.

The table lamps are Charles of Paris bronze with gold leaf detail. The drapes and bed covering are silk by Rubelli for Donghia. Furnishings are Thomas Pheasant for Baker. photo: Chris Little

Home owner wanted to save money on pathways so we did a gravel path. It’s a nice and cheaper alternative to concrete.

The home was originally built in the 60's and remodeled in the 80's. I was hired by an out of state owner/.real estate investor who wanted me to flip this property and sell. It was quite an extensive remodel both interior and exterior however, our team managed to get it down in record time.

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.

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.

We started with a small, 3 bedroom, 2 bath brick cape and turned it into a 4 bedroom, 3 bath home, with a new kitchen/family room layout downstairs and new owner’s suite upstairs. Downstairs on the rear of the home, we added a large, deep, wrap-around covered porch with a standing seam metal roof.

Liquor cabinet in bar features custom sized compartments that fit client’s liquor bottles for storage in the rollout shelf. Wine refrigerator and icemaker located in bar area. The husband had one request: to make room for his whimsical picture in the redesign. By building a picture frame over the bar sink we incorporated the owner’s picture as part of the cabinetry complete with a hidden picture light behind the crown molding to illuminate it. The raised panel, French blue cabinets are finished with a dark brown glazing. These are full overlay doors and drawers, constructed with high precision to maintain a 1/8” gap between every side of a door and drawer. PHOTO CREDIT: John Ray

This charming home sits on a 500-acre horse farm in Lexington, KY, providing a peaceful retreat for a family of four and their two dogs. The homeowner not only lives here but also manages the property on behalf of the horse farm owner’s. The farm owner wanted to ensure that the family had a comfortable, welcoming space to unwind after a day’s hard work. To bring this vision to life, we collaborated with Ayers Custom Homes to design an abode full of thoughtful, beautiful details. Every aspect, from the custom floors to the ceiling details, was carefully planned. We handpicked every feature in this home, resulting in a space filled with intricate, custom touches that make it stand out. The goal was to create a home that feels cozy, comfortable, and ready to be lived in from day one. The more time you spend here, the more you’ll notice the fine details—like the stone arches, coffered ceilings in the living room, detailed trim work, hickory floors, wood beams, and more. This home was crafted with love and precision, ensuring it’s a perfect fit for this wonderful family.

Toronto’s Upside Development completed this interior contemporary remodeling project. Nestled in Oakville’s tree lined ravine, a mid-century home was discovered by new owners returning from Europe. A modern Renovation with a Scandinavian flare unique to the area was envisioned and achieved.

while a bit unorthodox, the new owners of this recent brownstone condo conversion wanted to combine two modest bathrooms to create one larger space with a cohesive, modern feel. wood elements combine with a wood textured tile to give warmth to the space, while introducing a cohesive design palette that is at once modern and timeless.

These owners know craftsmanship and appreciate high-quality details. The owner hand crafted some of the furniture pieces included in this remodel, including the master bed frame. To update the home and do justice to the owner’s own furniture pieces, we installed a sky light in the upstairs bedroom hallway to bathe the space in light and added new doors with brass hardware. The master bathroom was transformed into an oasis and the kitchen underwent a remodel to make it more functional with modern appliances. Photos by Kimberly Gavin Photography
