Oils and sauces are close at hand in the pull-out rack near the range top on the right while crocks on the left side provide additional storage convenient for the chef.

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 were contracted by a local couple who owns an accounting practice locally that wanted to build their retirement home in a desired neighborhood close to their offices. They had already bought their lot, and purchased their home plans online. The owners of this beautiful home had many of their selections, colors, and other desires already picked prior to beginning the project. One unique feature that was requested was to incorporate a toe ledge into the master shower so that the lady of the house would have an easier time when shaving her legs. Now that is a true customized item that not many ladies would think about when building the home of her dreams.

This stunning kitchen remodel transformed the space into a modern, open-concept area perfect for family living. The project began with removing the downstairs half-bath, which had been positioned between the kitchen and the small family room, effectively closing off the space. The half-bath was then relocated to a newly added family room, opening up the kitchen area for improved flow and functionality.
In the newly expanded kitchen, the area where the bath once stood now features a spacious peninsula, providing additional seating and creating a more inviting atmosphere for family gatherings. The open design allows for seamless interaction between the kitchen and the adjoining family room, enhancing both the aesthetic and practical aspects of this home. This remodel not only revitalized the kitchen but also brought a fresh sense of space and connectivity to the entire downstairs.

For most people, the idea of stained glass invokes images of the ornate and colorful windows in churches, temples, and cathedrals. While stained glass certainly does have a deep history in this religious setting, it also serves a purpose in modern residential architecture. Residential stained glass is as beautiful as it is functional. It can provide privacy for the rooms of your home where you need it the most, say your bathroom for example.
In many new neighborhoods, the homes are built closely together with not much space between them except for small side yards. If your house has a bathroom that’s located on the side of your home, the ability to retain privacy from your neighbors may cause concern. Bathroom stained glass windows offer a practical solution for this type of situation. They can prevent outsiders from seeing into your home without blocking out the natural sunlight.
Take a look at this bathroom stained glass window. Notice how you don’t have a clear view of what’s on the other side, yet the sunlight can still come through the window. This is a great example of how stained glass can provide privacy in your bathroom.

The client desired a kitchen that fit her modern day needs but complimented the historic character of her 1920's home. By using classic inspired finishes such as 3x6 subway and a quartz with a vein appearance of natural marble, the desire for a historic flair but with practical appeal was achieved.
In this photo you see the wall closing the kitchen off from the sun porch was removed to expand the space allowing the natural light to flood the space and allowing for all of the space to know be functional and giving the client a larger kitchen then she thought was possible in this home. The island slab measures just over 9 ft in length!

This high-end solid oak boot room was designed and handcrafted for our client’s home in Guildford, Surrey. Our brief was to create a durable and functional boot room with a classically stylish look. Handcrafted in sustainable oak this fitted furniture incorporates lots of practical storage and traditional high-quality features that will stand the test of time.
Traditional joinery and design
Traditionally constructed in solid oak, the floor to ceiling cabinetry features soft close doors with a two-panel shaker style and torus skirting. Torus skirting boards are a hallmark of heritage and elegance. The convex moulded profile in a bullnose ridge is a feature that has adorned prestigious interiors for centuries. A hardwearing clear matt lacquer finish maintains the character of the wood and looks like a natural oil or wax finish but is more resistant to scratches.
Customised storage maximises the space
The boot room has been exceptionally well-planned to include made to measure boxed shelving for footwear of all types and sizes. A solid oak bench with a soft closing seat also incorporates traditionally constructed drawers, which are ideal for smaller accessories such as gloves and scarves. Hardware was an important consideration too. The sturdy coat hooks and iron bar type handles have a traditional character with a matching black coated matt finish.
