The lower level provides further entertaining areas - The wine cellar is its own jewel box, boasting custom built-ins, Chicago brick flooring and a custom wallpapered ceiling that pays homage to the homeowners’ love of New Orleans.

LED lights are affordable, and safe on wine, which can all too easily be harmed by harsh lighting. They may cost more than some of their counterparts initially, but over time the savings from optimally-aged wines and lower electricity bills will pay off.

Off the back of the house is a very private deck made of Azek. It has a redwood cedar open trellis over the hot tub. The stone walkway was constructed out of reclaimed Belgian block and was laid in circular pattern. In this classic English Tudor home located in Penn Valley, PA, we renovated the kitchen, mudroom, deck, patio, and the exterior walkways and driveway. The European kitchen features high end finishes and appliances, and heated floors for year-round comfort! The outdoor areas are spacious and inviting. The open trellis over the hot tub provides just the right amount of shelter. These clients were referred to us by their architect, and we had a great time working with them to mix classic European styles in with contemporary, current spaces.

Cavit Design originally did the Blue Peaks Apartments in 2001 when they were first built. We were asked to revisit the interiors for an update in 2011, ten years later. These apartments are in an alpine ski and trecking resort in the lower South Island of New Zealand and in this beautiful location these apartments have quite intense and regular use. Due to the quality and design of the furniture originally provided we merely needed to replace the sofa, coffee table and television cabinet and could reuse all of the other original furniture, including this rattan armchair which we merely restained and reupholstered. A great example that buying good design and good quality for hospitality does pay off. These items will get 20 years use - in a hotel - and still look good. If you are involved in hospitality please contact us as we would love help you to achieve the same longevity of interior design for your property.

Our clients had a dishwasher disaster in their 1950's galley kitchen last year. The insurance company was sonly willing to pay about half the cost to rebuild. The clients also didn't like the dark, tight kitchen, and wanted to come up up with a way to open it up to the main room of their home. We took out the wall between kitchen and living room, while keeping the flow of the kitchen and saving money on pre-fab cabinets. We also put a large island at the end of the space, with open shelving above to display beloved travel artifacts. One secret - the stair down to the lower floor goes right beneath the island, leaving just enough space for some toy storage shelves on either side. We used hand-crafted Zellige tile for the backsplash, to echo the crafted quality of some of the décor. Not every client has an endless budget, so we work with families to get the most from their resources. In this case, the clients also feel that the space has "California Coastal" light, even in the Pacific Northwest.

When you have found the home of your dreams, having a beautiful tree in the yard is simply an added bonus. Many people specifically search for homes that have one or more trees when considering a new property. Trees are an essential part of our environment, but it is important to note that these beautiful living pieces of art can also be dangerous. Five Star Tree Services has come across quite a few situations where trees have done some incredible damage to homes. So if you have a tree or several trees on your property, it is important to keep a few things in mind to avoid similar accidents. Mind the Tree Roots The roots of a tree help it to grow up straight and tall. They also help to anchor it in its position. While the roots are important in keeping the tree firmly in the ground, they are also one of the leading causes of damage. Roots can move the soil and materials of your foundation which can weaken the overall structure of your home. In addition to the foundation, roots have the strength to break underground pipes as well. Many homeowners with leaking water in their basement or puddles in their lower levels can trace the problem back to roots disturbing the plumbing. In order to repair these issues, you must call a professional tree care company. In some cases, the roots can be moved from around your plumbing or foundations, but in most cases, tree removal is required. Dead or Dying Trees Trees that are on the verge of dying or those that have already died need to be removed as soon as possible. It is important to pay attention to the health of your trees to keep your family and your property safe. The biggest sign of a tree that is at risk of falling over is deep cracks in the trunk and branches. The tree may have died due to old age, diseases, or an infestation. The cause could have also been a result of storm damage. Regardless of the cause, dead trees can tip over and fall on your home or even people who happen to be passing by. Instead of risking your family’s health or your property, have ailing trees removed as soon as possible. Natural Pests Pest control is important, especially if you have one or more trees on your property. Trees attract critters no matter how well you maintain them, from owls and squirrels to termites and other bugs. Depending on how close the trees in your yard are to your home, you may need to watch out for pests invading your home. Termites are the most harmful, so it is important to have both your trees and your home inspected on a regular basis. The other pests can be controlled with proper pruning and regular maintenance. Squirrels are the second-largest danger. If they can reach your roof from nearby trees, you will have to worry about holes in your roof, insulation, and even in your foundation. Taking Care of Your Trees Trees are an important part of our environment and can add beauty and value to any property. With the right care and regular maintenance from Five Star Tree Services, you can enjoy the beauty of your trees while avoiding the dangers. Give us a call at (416) 990-3355 to find out more about our Toronto tree care services.

The wife wanted a modern, open, simple home office for quickly paying bills or doing computer work. But the space still needed to function as a guest room, so a lightweight and easily movable desk situated in front of a Murphy bed fit the bill. Mesquite floors ground the space, and tie in nicely with the elegant leather and mahogany desk, cherry cabinets, and rich wool rug.

This is a beautiful custom pool, spa, backyard project in Upland. The arbor covers the built in BBQ and is designed to coordinate with the house. The built in BBQ also has a large bar area for high top seating in the shade. Travertine decking covers most of the ground up around the pool and there are beautiful accent pots and landscaping. Custom wrought iron fencing provides a barrier between the pool area and drop off to the lower part of the yard. The pool features a raised round spa with cascading tiered stone spillway into the pool. The rectangular pool has a negative edge at the end with manufactured boulders and two deck jets. A pebble tech finished plaster gives the pool the dark blue color and we used poured in place concrete coping. We used Hayward Pool Products in this pool, including the EcoStar® Pump and the ColorLogic® LED Lights! We pay attention to details! This elegant backyard is perfect for entertaining.

Since we were introducing Modernist, sustainable residential design to this old urban neighborhood, we made a concerted effort to recall architectural elements from the existing structures. Front porches, created and shaded by cantilevered upper forms, pay tribute to the importance of "public" outdoor space in these and all historic Southern homes. The houses address the sidewalk at the same distance as neighboring houses and floor-to-ceiling windows on the lower levels engage the neighborhood while high windows on the upper levels provide privacy for the personal spaces there.

Cool Paint is a paint roof cover that absorbs the warmth of the sun to keep the roof and the surrounding area cooler. The roof lasts longer and the temperature in the interior is more comfortable. Once the service is implemented, it starts to pay for itself. Cool Paint is weather-resistant and non-dissolvent. The cooling effect has a value (measured according to ASTM E1980) of SRI (Solar Reflectance Index). The SRI value of Cool Paint is 89. Therefore, a Cool Paint covering is 72% of sunlight and returns 87% of the heat to the atmosphere rather than the underlying air. Most solar heat reduces the difference in the roof temperature between day and night, summer and winter. The roof's lifetime is extended by constantly lower temperatures.

Cost Comparison of Concrete & Pavers: Basic standard broom finish concrete slab is generally lower in cost per square foot than other alternatives. Typically, you can pay 30%-50% more if you choose a textured stamped concrete over standard concrete. Paving stones will most likely cost you the same or a little less in some cases pending actual stone choices.
