Kimberlee Marie InteriorsIt’s always a blessing when your clients become friends - and that’s exactly what blossomed out of this two-phase remodel (along with three transformed spaces!). These clients were such a joy to work with and made what, at times, was a challenging job feel seamless. This project consisted of two phases, the first being a reconfiguration and update of their master bathroom, guest bathroom, and hallway closets, and the second a kitchen remodel.
In keeping with the style of the home, we decided to run with what we called “traditional with farmhouse charm” – warm wood tones, cement tile, traditional patterns, and you can’t forget the pops of color! The master bathroom airs on the masculine side with a mostly black, white, and wood color palette, while the powder room is very feminine with pastel colors.
When the bathroom projects were wrapped, it didn’t take long before we moved on to the kitchen. The kitchen already had a nice flow, so we didn’t need to move any plumbing or appliances. Instead, we just gave it the facelift it deserved! We wanted to continue the farmhouse charm and landed on a gorgeous terracotta and ceramic hand-painted tile for the backsplash, concrete look-alike quartz countertops, and two-toned cabinets while keeping the existing hardwood floors. We also removed some upper cabinets that blocked the view from the kitchen into the dining and living room area, resulting in a coveted open concept floor plan.
Our clients have always loved to entertain, but now with the remodel complete, they are hosting more than ever, enjoying every second they have in their home.

Milton ArchitectsThis characterful grade II listed farmhouse required some sensitive and imaginative conversion work to create new living spaces within the existing outbuildings and barn. Balancing the constraints of the existing fabric, the requirements of the conservation officer and our clients’ brief was a challenge. But as is so often the case, constraints make for stronger solutions, and we think the results are wonderful.

The Reesman CompanyComplete landscape design with a patio viewing area of the lake. Site Challenges were using the existing steep grades to create outdoor spaces and storage. The use of the existing hill led a great challenge to allow users to navigate around the property. Installing steps from the upper terrace to the lower terrace created new grand entrances to multiple sitting areas. Round sunken area created a great space to view the lake and have an evening fire. Wind was also a concern, so adding a small shed helped keep furniture safe from high winds and storms, while also allowing winter storage.

Rheir HomeThe bathroom was not updated beyond painting the walls and pre existing cabinets. By way of styling however, we were able to tie it in to the rest of the house.
RMT Design GroupThis has got to be of our favorite rework projects! A young family in Irvine came to us with a challenge to take their existing backyard and transform it into a space that is the perfect marriage of form and function. By pushing the existing slope back and adding sectional variety, we strove to carve out spaces for interaction and gathering.

JLC ArchitectureThe complete renovation of this existing single-family home took the existing structure down to the studs. The addition of a new wood-clad box and cantilevered roof mark the entrance. Smooth stucco, large-format tile, a standing-seam metal roof and black aluminum windows and doors complete the material palette. The challenge of a receding ground plane at the rear of the house is met with a stadium-seating style deck which graciously engages with the large back yard.

bsq Landscape ArchitectsCreating a contemporary garden with an existing landscape can sometimes be a challenge especially if the existing architecture and landscape features may not be as modern feeling as one might want. Introducing carefully chosen elements with clean linear features and strong lines can all help to update a landscape to a much more modern standard.
Deliberate materials and paving elements combined with stainless steel, glass and composite decking along with colourful planters to add that “pop” have all done much to transform this existing landscape while working with the existing pool and house architecture.

Mountainwood HomesThe biggest challenge in this kitchen was creating a design that incorporated the existing, structural post. Because of budgetary restrictions, we were unable to remove the post in the kitchen that it housed the electrical and plumbing, so the new island design plays it up and makes it a design feature.

Alair Homes HickoryOne of our challenges was the fact that building a brick foundation for the new screened porch to match the existing would have been cost prohibitive. Our practical and attractive solution was to place the new porch on a wood floor system using posts and piers. The lattice screens the original brick foundation from view.
Himsben Design Studio, LLCThis delightful project was a fun design challenge; to create a meaningful space that harmonized with the existing architecture of the home, in a very small area. The use of rich Walnut Travertine brought warmth to the project, and tied into the existing use of limestone on the facade of the residence. Our clients imported a cast-iron lamp post from England to add sophistication and illumination to this urban garden.
