Dining room - eclectic medium tone wood floor dining room idea in Dallas with beige walls

Client wanted their great room to truly be “great” by adding a coffered ceiling with crown molding and beadboard panels on the walls. Additionally, we took down old ceiling fans we added fresh coats of paint to the great room. We worked with the homeowner who wanted to be involved at every step. We problem solved on the spot to come up with the best structural and aesthetic solutions. Not pictured was additional work in the breakfast nook with a wainscoting ceiling, we completed a brick accent wall, and crown molding to the entire top floor. We also added a wall and a door to frame in a movie theater area including drywall work, crown molding and creating a bulkhead to hide speaker wires and lighting effects. And a laundry cabinet.

This small kitchen was updated by refacing the cabinets with two tone colors that gave enough contrast to bring the kitchen from an outdated space to a beautiful inviting space. To solve the storage problem, we installed a new pantry. The bead-board backing on the peninsula gave an added interest to the space. The upper cabinets were done in a mist color, while the lower cabinets were done in a midnight color. To finish the new look, we installed an Aria quartz countertop and an igloo ceramic subway tile backsplash. Now this kitchen is ready to be shared with their family and friends.

Our studio's expertise is to solve a complicated problem with a simple functional design. In this beautiful project, we were commissioned to design a room for 5 siblings in a limited space facing sea view. A double bunk bed was designed, with a pullout bed, a big cupboard with lots of storage yet has in it a fun-house shape nook. There is also including a learning desk and a bench for sitting and relaxing. The color of the room is based on a limited color palette that was specifically chosen. All the handmade accessories were carefully designed including handmade rugs and artistic soft beanbags. Each child has a unique hand-made doll to match the white bedding. The result is an harmonious fun room that is in line with the white apartment's elegant design.

This full custom library was designed and built in stained birch to hold approximately 4,500 books. The project included floor-to-ceiling adjustable shelving, a sliding bookcase system that allows five units to share the same footprint while remaining full accessible, sliding library ladders engineered for uneven flooring and a 4’ x 8’ island with open storage, drawers, and seating on both ends. Starting from conceptual sketch by an interior designer, we worked with the client and designer to clarify priorities and design the parts that no one knew how to build making a functional working library. The result is complete system that balances high storage capacity with practical daily use.

Distributed by Timspec, Accoya was used chosen as the ideal material to clad a show home in Auckland. Accoya was selected for the black coated weatherboards on the front section of the house, due to its durability and stability benefits. Because of Accoya’s modification technique it is the ideal wood for external cladding such as this. Generally, problems can occur with darker coatings on cladding, due to shrink and swell being exasperated by the solar gain. But, Accoya wood’s superior dimensional stability negates this problem and maintenance intervals are dramatically extended. The cladding needed to be aesthetically pleasing as well as highly durable in order to withstand the extreme climates in New Zealand. Accoya was also chosen due to its rot resistant benefits and its ability to deter insects in these types of environments.

Designer Sarah Robertson of Studio Dearborn helped a neighbor and friend to update a “builder grade” kitchen into a personal, family space that feels luxurious and inviting. The homeowner wanted to solve a number of storage and flow problems in the kitchen, including a wasted area dedicated to a desk, too-little pantry storage, and her wish for a kitchen bar. The all white builder kitchen lacked character, and the client wanted to inject color, texture and personality into the kitchen while keeping it classic.
