"This contemporary kitchen makes entertaining friends and family or even just cooking for the kids fun and easy. It was designed to allow the homeowners to prepare meals or socialize while keeping an eye on their children. The youngsters can play in the backyard just beyond the large sliding glass doors while mom and dad get dinner ready, hang out with friends, or do the dishes—all the while within sight of each other." - Builder Magazine

There is definitely nothing boring about this playful, modernist office that expertly reflects the soul of the client. Her whimsical nature is evident in the starry papered accent wall (Designer's Guild) and the MCM vintage antiques we refinished for her. Photo by David Sparks

The entry to a home speaks volumes, and in this home, you can see many main areas of the house from the front door. This simple, yet elegant table and lamp provide the first step into a grand space.

The conversion of this iconic American barn into a Writer’s Studio was conceived of as a tranquil retreat with natural light and lush views to stimulate inspiration for both husband and wife. Originally used as a garage with two horse stalls, the existing stick framed structure provided a loft with ideal space and orientation for a secluded studio. Signature barn features were maintained and enhanced such as horizontal siding, trim, large barn doors, cupola, roof overhangs, and framing. New features added to compliment the contextual significance and sustainability aspect of the project were reclaimed lumber from a razed barn used as flooring, driftwood retrieved from the shores of the Hudson River used for trim, and distressing / wearing new wood finishes creating an aged look. Along with the efforts for maintaining the historic character of the barn, modern elements were also incorporated into the design to provide a more current ensemble based on its new use. Elements such a light fixtures, window configurations, plumbing fixtures and appliances were all modernized to appropriately represent the present way of life.

In this charming coastal-themed bedroom, a bunk bed adorned with soothing cyan and navy stripes captures the essence of ocean waves. A playful pillow features a star design, adding a touch of celestial charm to the space. A book with a compass motif rests nearby, hinting at the spirit of adventure and exploration. A wooden chest at the foot of the bunk bed offers storage and rustic appeal, enhancing the room's coastal ambiance. With its crisp white bedding serving as a canvas for the nautical-inspired decor, this cozy retreat invites dreams of seaside escapades and tranquil voyages under the endless expanse of the sea.

THEME There are two priorities in this room: Hockey (in this case, Washington Capitals hockey) and FUN. FOCUS The room is broken into two main sections (one for kids and one for adults); and divided by authentic hockey boards, complete with yellow kickplates and half-inch plexiglass. Like a true hockey arena, the room pays homage to star players with two fully autographed team jerseys preserved in cases, as well as team logos positioned throughout the room on custom-made pillows, accessories and the floor. The back half of the room is made just for kids. Swings, a dart board, a ball pit, a stage and a hidden playhouse under the stairs ensure fun for all. STORAGE A large storage unit at the rear of the room makes use of an odd-shaped nook, adds support and accommodates large shelves, toys and boxes. Storage space is cleverly placed near the ballpit, and will eventually transition into a full storage area once the pit is no longer needed. The back side of the hockey boards hold two small refrigerators (one for adults and one for kids), as well as the base for the audio system. GROWTH The front half of the room lasts as long as the family’s love for the team. The back half of the room grows with the children, and eventually will provide a useable, wide open space as well as storage. SAFETY A plexiglass wall separates the two main areas of the room, minimizing the noise created by kids playing and hockey fans cheering. It also protects the big screen TV from balls, pucks and other play objects that occasionally fly by. The ballpit door has a double safety lock to ensure supervised use.

These Cabinet Glass Panels show how the Four Piece Star Bevel Clusters create a Play of Light & Dimension and with the addition of Single Star Stock Bevel, this Design becomes a Custom Look for a Semi-Custom Price. Notice how we were able to incorporate the small cabinet glass with just the right touch by using a single Star Bevel, and now everything lines up perfectly. The glass sizes shown are - 15-1/2" x 30-1/4" for the larger panels and for the two smaller panels the size measures - 9-7/16" x 12-1/4" . The panels were made using Clear Custom Star Beveled Glass Clusters ( made my us In-House ) single Star Beveled Glass Stars with the background surrounding glass being Spectrum Glass - 100HS Small Hammered Glass. We used our Dark Antique Patina Lead Came for a dramatic effect without being overstated and the colors work perfectly with the cabinet hardware.

This lower level combines several areas into the perfect space to have a party or just hang out. The theater area features a starlight ceiling that even include a comet that passes through every minute. Premium sound and custom seating make it an amazing experience. The sitting area has a brick wall and fireplace that is flanked by built in bookshelves. To the right, is a set of glass doors that open all of the way across. This expands the living area to the outside. Also, with the press of a button, blackout shades on all of the windows... turn day into night. Seating around the bar makes playing a game of pool a real spectator sport... or just a place for some fun. The area also has a large workout room. Perfect for the times that pool isn't enough physical activity for you.

Galassia Nero porcelain tile takes inspiration from the clusters of constellations across the evening sky. Much like the distant stars dot the dark night, milky white accents play across the smoky gray waterproof tiles. With simple coloring and subtle texture, it's perfect for indoor-outdoor living and sure to complement any style.

This is an organic Lime Wash done with a true lime wash product as opposed to a brick mortar or concrete that is often seen on new houses. This product can be applied as a solid coating making the surface completely white, or can be applied and "washed off" in many artistic ways, as seen here. If you hate your brick or just want something unique this is a great option! Photo credit: Jeff Murrey

My client's newly purchased home was painted entirely in earth tones like this earthy mustard-green color in the living room, nothing like the icing blues and cool tones she liked. To save her the cost of having to repaint her entire 4000 square-foot home, we used some tricks in each room to play down the wall colors. Here, we let the bold pattern of this very large black and white rug be the star.
