Step into this stunning mid-century modern kitchen that seamlessly blends classic design with contemporary functionality. The focal point of the room is the sleek ice grey cabinets that line the walls, exuding sophistication and style. These cabinets, with their clean lines and minimalist hardware, perfectly embody the mid-century aesthetic.
To add a touch of elegance and seamless integration, the refrigerator is outfitted with custom panels that match the ice grey cabinetry. These panels create a cohesive look, disguising the appliance and allowing it to blend effortlessly into the kitchen's design.

We transformed a small, outdated space into a modern, functional retreat for our recent bathroom remodeling project. This comprehensive renovation began with a complete demolition, taking the bathroom down to the studs. We removed all existing fixtures, walls, flooring, and old plumbing, creating a blank canvas for our vision.
First, we addressed the plumbing. The old, corroded pipes were replaced with new, durable materials, ensuring reliable water flow and pressure for years to come. We installed new supply lines and drainage to accommodate the new fixtures, including the vanity and shower.
Next, we updated the electrical system. The outdated wiring was replaced with new, up-to-code electrical work. We installed new outlets, switches, and light fixtures, providing ample lighting for the space. An exhaust fan was also installed to improve ventilation and prevent moisture buildup, essential for maintaining the bathroom's longevity and hygiene.
We then focused on HVAC improvements, adding a new duct and vent system to ensure proper heating and cooling. This upgrade enhances comfort and contributes to better air quality and energy efficiency.
For the flooring, we chose ceramic tiles with a wood plank look. These tiles offer the warmth and elegance of wood while providing the durability and water resistance of ceramic. The flooring was meticulously installed, creating a seamless and visually appealing surface.
The centerpiece of the remodel is the stock single-sink vanity. This stylish yet practical addition provides ample storage and counter space, making daily routines more convenient. Above the vanity, we installed a sleek mirror that adds both functionality and a touch of sophistication.
The shower area received a complete makeover with new tiles and an adjustable rain shower head. The tile work extends from floor to ceiling, creating a cohesive and luxurious feel. The adjustable rain shower head offers a customizable bathing experience, combining both style and comfort.
This small bathroom remodel exemplifies our commitment to quality and attention to detail. By starting from the studs and rebuilding with modern, high-quality materials, we've created a space that is beautiful and built to last. Our client now enjoys a stylish, functional bathroom that meets their needs and enhances their home's value.

On the opposite wall, a workspace centers around a single-bowl stainless steel sink set into a pristine white quartz countertop. Surrounding the sink are more navy cabinets, offering abundant storage both above and below. A mosaic backsplash in shades of grey and cream adds a subtle yet striking visual texture, tying the room together with a touch of elegance.

A boho-inspired house with an attached ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) combines eclectic charm with practical versatility. The open concept first floor of the main house features an array of vibrant textiles and plenty of greenery, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Earthy tones and natural materials, such as wood and rattan, dominate the interior, while colorful, patterned accent walls. The spacious layout is enhanced by a cozy breakfast bar in the kitchen and a stylish wet bar in the dining room, allowing for a seamless flow between living spaces. A gas fireplace, framed by artisanal tiles and surrounded by comfortable seating, adds warmth and serves as a central gathering point. Conveniently located off the kitchen is a functional laundry room, designed to blend with the bohemian aesthetic while providing essential utility.

This beautiful traditional kitchen is adorned with exquisite wood cabinets that exude warmth and timeless charm.

This charming family home in Belmont was in dire need of some tender loving care. The original builder-grade cabinetry and countertops were outdated and in need of an upgrade.
The kitchen was once isolated from the dining room and living room, making entertaining guests a real chore. Cooking in the kitchen meant being cut off from the rest of the household, leading to a disconnect during family time. So, we decided to make some sweeping changes.
The most transformative change was the removal of the load bearing wall separating the kitchen and living room. This created a spacious open-concept kitchen with a massive island, perfect for hosting and socializing. We upgraded the cabinets to reflect a contemporary aesthetic and added a stunning hood vent. The built-in hutch was replaced by a refrigerator and beverage center, providing ample storage space and more practical usage. The kitchen was also equipped with modern features such as roll-out trays, a trash can pull-out, spice racks, and utensil organizers. We replaced the older-style double door base cabinets with modern drawer bases for easy access, and increased the height of the cabinets from 30 inches to 36 inches, giving the kitchen a fresh, airy look and additional storage space.
The laundry room also received a makeover, with new cabinets above the washer and dryer and a tall linen/storage closet, making it more functional and storage-friendly. The small pantry closet was transformed into a sprawling 12 foot deep walk-in pantry with new shelves, cabinetry and lighting, providing ample space for all your pantry essentials. We also upgraded the flooring on the first floor with durable LVP flooring, elevating the overall aesthetic and feel of the home. All of these changes were completed in a mere 21 days, from start to finish.

A Mudroom and Bar That Just Make Sense
Although the mudroom and main-level bar are not side-by-side, we designed them to complement each other, incorporating the same deep charcoal tones and shiplap detailing to create a sense of cohesion. Beyond looks, the mudroom was designed to be highly functional—a stylish yet practical drop zone for daily essentials.
