No More Noisy Doors! The Original Mom-Invented Cushy Closer; since 2007. As two moms, with nine children between us, we've figured out a few things along the way; one of them being: We don't care how much noise a child can sleep through, there's something about the click of a doorknob or the rattling of a door that can break through even the deepest sleep. The Cushy Closer Door Cushion: -Allows quiet entry and exit while checking on sleeping children (without turning the knob/handle) -Helps prevent children/adults from being accidentally locked in or out (bathrooms, bedrooms, house, etc.) -Snug fit helps muffle door sounds (slamming, rattling, closing) while allowing the door to close completely and quietly -Makes a unique yet practical baby shower gift Our Cushy Closer Door Cushions are handmade with quality materials, inside and out, and are designed to be long-lasting and hold their shape for a truly quiet door!

This master bathroom presented some challenges. It was small and layout of it was not practical. Also, the client wanted more storage space. We reworked the layout, closed a window in order to move the vanity and used every available inch of the space. We opened up the ceiling and added a sky light to give the bathroom more light and create illusion of space. We worked with the client to add design elements and colors she loved, agate grays and blues and warm brass tones. Despite it's size the bathroom feels spacious and warm and offers plenty of custom storage. Photography: Jeanne Calarco, Context Media Development

This Passover kitchen was designed as a secondary space for cooking. The design includes Moroccan-inspired motifs on the ceramic backsplash and ties seamlessly with the black iron light fixture. Since the kitchen is used one week to a month per year, and to keep the project budget-friendly, we opted for laminate countertops with a concrete look as an alternative to stone. The 33-inch drop-in stainless steel sink is thoughtfully located by the only window with a view of the lovely backyard. Because the space is small and closed in, LED undercabinet lighting was essential to making the surface space practical for basic tasks.

Amy Williams photography Fun and whimsical family room & kitchen remodel. This room was custom designed for a family of 7. My client wanted a beautiful but practical space. We added lots of details such as the bead board ceiling, beams and crown molding and carved details on the fireplace. The kitchen is full of detail and charm. Pocket door storage allows a drop zone for the kids and can easily be closed to conceal the daily mess. Beautiful fantasy brown marble counters and white marble mosaic back splash compliment the herringbone ceramic tile floor. Built-in seating opened up the space for more cabinetry in lieu of a separate dining space. This custom banquette features pattern vinyl fabric for easy cleaning. We designed this custom TV unit to be left open for access to the equipment. The sliding barn doors allow the unit to be closed as an option, but the decorative boxes make it attractive to leave open for easy access. The hex coffee tables allow for flexibility on movie night ensuring that each family member has a unique space of their own. And for a family of 7 a very large custom made sofa can accommodate everyone. The colorful palette of blues, whites, reds and pinks make this a happy space for the entire family to enjoy. Ceramic tile laid in a herringbone pattern is beautiful and practical for a large family. Fun DIY art made from a calendar of cities is a great focal point in the dinette area.

Our clients were relocating from the upper peninsula to the lower peninsula and wanted to design a retirement home on their Lake Michigan property. The topography of their lot allowed for a walk out basement which is practically unheard of with how close they are to the water. Their view is fantastic, and the goal was of course to take advantage of the view from all three levels. The positioning of the windows on the main and upper levels is such that you feel as if you are on a boat, water as far as the eye can see. They were striving for a Hamptons / Coastal, casual, architectural style. The finished product is just over 6,200 square feet and includes 2 master suites, 2 guest bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, sunroom, home bar, home gym, dedicated seasonal gear / equipment storage, table tennis game room, sauna, and bonus room above the attached garage. All the exterior finishes are low maintenance, vinyl, and composite materials to withstand the blowing sands from the Lake Michigan shoreline.

We choose to highlight this project because even though it is a more traditional design style its light neutral color palette represents the beach lifestyle of the south bay. Our relationship with this family started when they attended one of our complimentary educational seminars to learn more about the design / build approach to remodeling. They had been working with an architect and were having trouble getting their vision to translate to the plans. They were looking to add on to their south Redondo home in a manner that would allow for seamless transition between their indoor and outdoor space. Design / Build ended up to be the perfect solution to their remodeling need. Like many in the South Bay, the kitchen is the heart of the home to this family. The homeowners wanted a space that was elegant, warm and clean – an accurate representation of their tastes and style; a place to host Sunday barbecues. The island countertop is natural quartz called Corteccia Leather Slab. A lively cream and blue green quartzite with striking linear striation, Corteccia slabs from Brazil have a special leather finish. Similar to honing, leathering a stone closes the pores, making it much less susceptible to staining and allowing for better performance. The leathered finish presents a unique texture while retaining the stone’s natural color. Since the island was such a rock star we were challenged to find its perfect understated compliment for the perimeter countertops. We selected a polished slab of Madre Perla; a classic natural quartzite. Not only are the colors complimentary but the leather and polished textures play off each other nicely. The rest of the kitchen design fell into place from there.

The designer also prioritizes functionality and practicality, with a well-thought-out plan allowing easy movement and efficient use of space. An existing pantry was removed to create a new bar and coffee station with a beverage fridge and wine column close to the seating. Lots of organizational storage meets the homeowners ‘great cook’s culinary needs. A new mudroom, with a bench for seating and tall storage for coats, enhances the efficient functionality of the home even more. @leichtwc Design by Leah Diamond Photos by Zdravko Cota

This Irvine guest bathroom remodel features a timeless gray vanity that brings a touch of sophistication to a compact space. The clean lines of the shaker-style cabinetry are paired with a polished marble countertop for a refined and modern look. We upgraded the plumbing and fixtures, including a sleek dual-handle faucet that adds both function and elegance. The white-framed mirror above the sink enhances brightness and complements the clean aesthetic. Space-saving design elements like the integrated towel ring and soft-close drawers make this vanity as practical as it is stylish. A neutral palette of grays and whites keeps the space feeling open and airy. With thoughtful details and a polished finish, this vanity area transforms the guest bathroom into a spa-inspired retreat.

This modern bathroom remodel features a simplistic design with huge impact. The Touch Summer SBN tile wainscotting doubles as the shower surround. The wall mounted vanity displays a beautiful contrast between the white countertop and wood finish cabinetry. The white bathtub and chrome fixtures complete this clean, modern look.

The Taylor double bed is characterized by a headboard divided into two upholstered elements, enriched by visible stitching, that becomes a comfortable back support for readers.

For two growing boys, the client wanted a practical and modern bathroom that would be easy to keep clean and tidy. This was an addition bump out from the boys' bedroom. Porcelain tile on the floor and walls is very low maintenance.
