When my clients purchased this charming 1940's home in the Seattle neighborhood of Wedgwood, they were amazed by how intact the original kitchen was. It was like a perfect time capsule. The color palette was avocado green and buttercream yellow. The highlights were an original retro built-in banquette and vintage oven! The challenge we faced (besides the awesome but dated finishes) was the closed floor plan typical in this era of homes and the lack of storage. So, we opened the kitchen to the adjacent dining and living room, bringing it up to speed with modern-day living. In opening it up, we also walled off a doorway that went from the kitchen to the hallway, but it was completely unnecessary and allowed us to gain an entire wall of cabinets that didn't exist previously. For the finishes, we kept it classic with mostly gray and white but brought in a little flare and interest with the herringbone backsplash and brushed brass finishes because who doesn't love a little gold? Also, we added color with the finishing details like the rug and countertop decor because those things are a great way to add interest and warmth to a space and can be easily changed when it's time for a fresh new look.

Design ideas for a traditional full sun backyard concrete paver formal garden in Burlington.

This small but very detailed space has all the wonderful accommodations needed for an urban rooftop. Flat screen TV, grill, heat lamp, fire table, and storage. We took the pattern from the chair and recreated it in the fire table. This custom table ties it all together nicely. All while siting in a lush garden that surrounds the seating area. Making it cozy and colorful.

This custom backsplash, designed and installed by SAVU LLC, showcases stunning blue ceramic tiles arranged in an intricate herringbone pattern. The rich blue tones create a bold contrast against the light countertops and cabinetry, serving as a striking focal point in the kitchen. With precise grout lines and expert craftsmanship, SAVU LLC brought this Pepperell, MA kitchen to life, combining timeless design with modern sophistication.

Small spaces can be the best. This pool and spa separated with a sheet of acrylic gives this pool an uninterrupted look. The limestone wall acts as a backdrop for the garden urn creating a focal piece of art

Our designer has achieved a stylish look by combining dark cabinets and light-colored marbles.

This Master Bathroom features high contrasts in color and shapes. Modern black fixtures standout in a backdrop over-sized subway tiles. A custom vanity rests on heated porcelain floors in a faux wood pattern. Carrera marble in a chevron pattern is the star of the shower in the niche and the floor is tiled in a hex pattern. Updating the floor plan allowed for a larger shower and increased storage. The barn door is a fresh update for the closet entrance.
