It is a truth universally acknowledged that a homeowner in possession of a leaking roof must be in want of repairs.
And though it makes for a fun Jane Austen allusion, an unreliable roof is a serious problem. Water can cause a great deal of damage in a short time, so this homeowner wisely called us in to help.
The roof of this custom-designed home was leaking in myriad locations, so our team removed the existing roof decks to access and repair the exterior trouble spots.
The new deck was constructed atop a Bison pedestal system; in fact, we custom-designed the deck in panels that can be lifted for seasonal roof sweeping and simpler maintenance.
The various roof decks were rebuilt with both reclaimed decking and new ipe decking. Our team also removed several faulty parapet walls and replaced them with a mixture of stainless steel cables and ipe railings.
Finally, we took steps to prevent future drainage problems by applying a sealcoat to the exterior stucco and creating a copper drip-edge too.
Leaking roofs are no laughing matter, but thanks to Houseplay, this story — like Austen’s Pride and Prejudice — had a happy ending.

A common problem for French Door blinds is that the handles get in the way of functionality. The solution is to buy shallow blinds for your French doors that fit comfortably between the door and decorative handles. Aluminum blinds are slim, lightweight and durable enough for high traffic areas.

For Ryan's bedroom we took our usual approach to decorating kids rooms which is to develop a scheme that will grow with a child into adolescence. We are confident that Ryan will have no problem transitioning his bedroom into a cool teen hangout when he decides to trade stuffed animals for video games and sports equipment. We paired classic black furniture with grey walls and some key pieces like an industrial spring table lamp, polyhedron light fixture and metal side table to create a boy's bedroom with character.

The new layout of the kitchen and main floor allows a comfortable flow of movement to every area. Glass fronted cabinets made to look like furniture provide elegant storage for multiple items. And the required-seating for 6 is no problem.

Tamara Heather Interior Design solved the challenge of where to put the televison in this 1920's home, by designing a custom Arts and Crafts style TV/media cabinet that acts as a room divider and defines the entry. Additional updates included a new coffered ceiling, lighting and new paint colors throughout the home.

We removed all existing siding down to the exterior wall sheathing. Upon inspection, we found several areas of the home where water had passed through the old siding. We were able to catch the problem before it was too late and make the necessary repairs. From there, we installed a water tight vapor barrier to make sure that if water passed through the new siding, the home would still be protected.

Gracefully curved stone retaining wall separates the upper and lower levels of the garden. The property had some drainage issues as water flowed towards the house. The wall solved the water problem and created a sculptural feature at the same time. The curved steps lead to the reflecting pool and fountain on the upper level. Antique concrete baskets on the steps are from the owner's parents New York home.

The walnut panels gave the room depth and warmth but added to the problem that the area didn't have any windows allowing natural light so we used a lot of lighting to compensate! Loving that the brass hardware looks equally beautiful on the high gloss white as it does on the the walnut cabinetry.
