The light gray epoxy flooring provides a seamless, durable surface that resists wear and stains, making it perfect for both laundry tasks and children’s activities. A modular storage system was installed to maximize organization and maintain a clean, clutter-free environment.

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.

This newly renovated lakefront home had a budget set aside for new window coverings to finish the rooms and to maximize the beautiful view. A combination of drapery and blinds were used throughout. The living room’s bank of sliding doors looked like a lot of bare windows so custom side panels were added to separate them and soften the room. The Plantation style ceiling fans and newly installed pebble tile were the source of inspiration for the palm branch print that was used while the soft sage and copper tones added to the outdoor feel.
An outdoor space was created for use in the summer. On the deck, linen style sheers run on a ceiling mount channel rod so the fabric is able to bypass any brackets and not get in the way. When the sheers are pulled closed a room is created to block the intense sun, and in their open position the panels are pulled back to frame the stucco pillars. In the sun room, custom Sunbrella roman shades were installed into the divided glass ceiling which had always been an intense source of heat. A burnt orange striped fabric was used to incorporate the orange tones used in the living room.
Hunter Douglas Pirhouettes were installed throughout the rest of the house to give warmth and texture to the rest of the windows. Pirhouette blinds feature soft fabric vanes attached to a sheer backing that appear to be floating. When closed, they look just like a contemporary shade. The advantage to this type of blind is that they diffuse the light quite nicely, spreading it evenly throughout your room, so you can maximize daylight hours and reduce your need for artificial light.
The homeowners required a balance of style and practicality in their home and we delivered with custom window treatments that fit the unique needs of each area in the house.

Revamping the laundry room brings a blend of functionality and style to an often-overlooked space. Upgrading appliances to energy-efficient models enhances efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.
Custom cabinetry and shelving solutions maximize storage for detergents, cleaning supplies, and laundry essentials, promoting an organized and clutter-free environment. Consideration of ergonomic design, such as a folding counter or ironing station, streamlines tasks and adds a touch of convenience.
Thoughtful lighting choices, perhaps with LED fixtures or natural light sources, contribute to a bright and inviting atmosphere. Flooring upgrades for durability, such as water-resistant tiles or easy-to-clean materials, can withstand the demands of laundry tasks.
Ultimately, a remodeled laundry room not only elevates its practical functionality but also transforms it into a well-designed, efficient space that makes the often-dreaded chore of laundry a more pleasant experience.

Victoria wanted to update her master bathroom with a contemporary design that was both luxurious and practical. She asked for our team's expertise and trusted us to bring her vision to life.
The journey toward her dream bathroom started with our planning & design phase. She worked closely with our in-house designer, selecting the perfect materials and finishes, every choice tailored to her unique tastes and needs.
The vanity section has been highlighted with the installation of Waypoint 410F cabinets in a Navy finish, complemented by Pilar Quartz Countertops. The framed mirrors and sconce lights add to the overall aesthetic appeal.
The vanity area is enhanced with an elegant and sophisticated touch by the addition of Key Grande cabinet handles and Delta Trinsic Widespread Bathroom Faucets with Metal Drain Assembly.
The Rebecca 65" Free Standing Acrylic Soaking Tub boasts an exquisite design with a central drain that is truly a sight to behold—paired with the Delta Trinsic Wall Mounted Tub Filler Matte Black, making it an accurate and stylish selection.
The old shower has been upgraded to a customized version featuring Cala Lenci Polished 12x24" Porcelain tiles on the shower walls, Themar Statuario Hex Mesh on the shower floor, and a new frameless glass enclosure.
A new wall niche was added with a shelf in the middle for bath products. A corner shower tile bench was also designed to serve as a footrest. These additions not only fulfill practical needs but also improve the overall look of the space.

This remodeled kitchen showcases a modern and elegant design highlighted by custom shaker-style cabinets with soft-close doors and drawers, providing both functionality and a timeless look. The upper and lower cabinetry is complemented by sleek gold hardware, giving the space a touch of warmth and sophistication.
The countertops are finished in a light quartz surface, extending into a full waterfall edge at the peninsula bar seating area, creating a seamless and luxurious flow. Behind the counters, a vertical subway-style tile backsplash in a muted green hue adds rich texture and contrast, enhancing the contemporary feel of the space.
A deep white farmhouse sink serves as a striking focal point beneath the kitchen window, paired with a modern pull-down faucet. Above the sink, a dedicated light fixture provides task lighting, while recessed LED lights and a ceiling fan ensure the kitchen is well-lit and comfortable. Special decorative sconces and open wood shelves on one wall add both charm and practicality for display and storage.
The flooring has been updated with new tile, providing durability and a clean finish throughout the space. The soffit at the entrance of the kitchen was removed, creating a more open and inviting layout that visually expands the room. Custom doors have been installed to conceal the water heater closet, blending seamlessly with the cabinetry design.
High-end stainless steel appliances complete the remodel, including a professional-grade gas range with a vent hood, a built-in dishwasher, and a premium refrigerator with paneled sides to integrate into the cabinetry wall.
Overall, this remodel achieves a perfect balance of style, comfort, and practicality, with high-quality finishes and thoughtful design choices that elevate the kitchen into a refined yet welcoming heart of the home.

The bathroom I was tasked with redesigning initially had a very inefficient layout which only allowed for a single sink, an awkward corner shower and an odd bathtub with bulky tile surround.
The clients have a second bathroom that houses a generous bathtub, so for practicality’s sake they preferred a large walk-in shower for their ensuite.
I immediately understood that to maximize the floor plan I needed to relocate the entry to the adjacent wall and close the opening to the existing door. This gave me the opportunity to reorient the vanity direction, doubling it in size and allowing for two sinks and 90 inches of storage space. I deleted the previous bathtub and redirected the shower to this area, then increased its size by reframing a portion of the adjoining closet.
Keeping with the bathrooms high-end aesthetic direction, I designed a fluted vanity, hand built from solid white oak. I meticulously calculated the spacing so each flute fit seamlessly, resulting in a compelling textural element. The vanity and matching fluted toe kick were both adorned with natural grey marble, setting the stage for the most lavish towel storage and countertop. I opted for thin matte sinks with curved lines to compliment the flutes and bring an overall element of softness to the space.
In an effort to maximizing the already plentiful storage, I had hidden shelving framed into the walls and covered it with hand made mirrors that hinged for easy access. I balanced the pair of mirrors with modern light fixtures that added a contemporary punch and harmonized with the sleek mixed-metal faucets.
This ensuite oasis was polished off with graphic art, crisp linens and foreshadowed with a custom makeup vanity that utilized matching materials and flawless functionality. No detail of this space went unconsidered.

This sideboard is a showstopper in any space. The wavy cove doors create visual interest and a contemporary vibe.

The inside has a natural clear coat finish on the solid hard maple wood to give a stunning contrast when the doors are opened.
