Will Fournier Photography Baby's nursery, with room to accommodate her needs as she grows. Intricate ceiling detail at the intersection of the rebuilt bay window extension and the original roof-line. A structural puzzle that came together well, but not without challenge.

This room is showing a king size bed on a wall where the entire wall in covered in a wood veneer frame extended beyond the sides of the bed. The nightstands cantilever from the wooden wall and then the upholstered mosaic tile puzzle pieces are recessed into the frame. The geometric pattern on the drapes was the color palette for the room and is repeated in the grey carpeting, and in the geometric pattern in the pillows and on the bed throw.

This Escala condominium unit was designed for a sophisticated bachelor in downtown Seattle. From the private elevator lobby to the gracious living area, we thoughtfully designed the space to reflect the personal style and design needs of our client. Custom liquor storage cabinet, media console and entry desk were custom designed by Jennifer Gardner and fabricated by Northrup Case. A Lutron Radio Ra2 system was installed to add the ultimate wireless total home control system. Unique elements such as a puzzled together limestone wall and nail head trim on the cork floor were added to give the space edge. The end result is fabulous!

Living room - mid-century modern living room idea in New York

There were some druthers with the kitchen and there was a desire to make certain rooms more grown-up again. Unlike some of our clients who get rid of their formal dining rooms, this family wanted to keep theirs. They saw it as good space for entertaining and doing work – why not make it more stylish and purposeful? THE REMODEL Design Objectives Keep the craftsman style of the home but make it more modern Update the dining room to be more formal for entertaining and provide storage for china, stemware, wine, etc. Open up the kitchen to improve flow Incorporate new decorative lighting throughout the home to accent the home’s style Transform the staircase into a statement piece that greets visitors – redesign it with arts & crafts details in the balusters, newel posts and handrails Design Challenges: Open up the dining room window for more light and a better view of the backyard. The previous window felt closed in with heavy shutters. Improve kitchen flow without making the footprint larger Make the entire home feel updated and cohesive while staying true to the house’s style. THE RENEWED SPACES We bumped out the dining room window to make a new bay window. The glass mullion design mimics the craftsman style, setting the tone for the room while letting plenty of light in. It really opened up that end of the dining room. The view of the backyard is much bigger now, too. It’s also a great nook for playing board games, doing puzzles and playing with Legos. We actually got rid of a walk-in pantry that had cut off a corner of the kitchen, and were able to keep all the main walls intact. The old pantry room is where the fridge is now, as well as a tall pantry cabinet, some additional cabinets and a new countertop surface. The flow is much better and it’s roomy now, with a kitchen table that’s great for informal meals, homework and kids seating when adults are entertaining in the dining room. The cabinet, tile and countertop colors are still neutral but offer a more muted palette. To bring in the craftsman style, simple architectural details were added such as the hood and window valance, decorative furniture toes, a shaker door on the perimeter cabinets and a more modern cabinet door style on the island, pantry and refrigerator areas. New decorative lighting was added in the kitchen, dining room, living room, foyer and second-floor hallway to make the entire first floor feel updated. Also, the entire staircase was revamped. The existing hardwood was kept in place but stained medium brown to bring in some warmth. “The Drury process made this project turn out better than we imagined,” one of the homeowners told us during the final photoshoot. “There were so many features we didn’t know about – like charging drawers – and ways of going about the remodel that didn’t come to us naturally. We’re so glad Alicia had so much experience and so many checklists. We got to think through everything and arrive at the best possible design for our family.”

Our homeowners wanted a cozy kitchen nook to enjoy morning coffee and the patios beyond. The french doors are new, where before there was a very small window 6' off the floor. Now the space is light and bright, with cozy lounge chairs and a high-low table to suit any purpose.

Today's Kitchen is the new Family Room. Parents cook and clean on expansive counters while kids do homework, play games, and read books at the over-sized island. A breakfast nook offers quiet reading and puzzle space with sunlight pouring through south and west windows. The kitchen opens up to the dining room to create a seamless family cooking and eating space. Details include raised panel dark gray cabinets with white marble quartz at the islands and light gray shaker panel cabinets with leather-finish granite countertop at the perimeter counter. Organic-shaped waterjet-cut slate tile is featured as an accent wall from counter to ceiling. Large windows invite light and air into the space as custom window sills conceal hidden outlets below.

The goal of this extensive remodel was to bring a home that was distinctly 80s into the present. Our clients were an active family with three rambunctious, growing boys. Durability and practicality were high priorities. The homeowners wanted to create a space where both adults and children were at home, and that included feminine touches for Mom. We knew they’d need storage and space to play, so we transformed the formal dining room into a dedicated playroom with plenty of built-ins for toys, puzzles, books, and board games. We took two impractical spaces and removed the center wall, creating a bunk room that feels fort-like and imaginative. For the parents, we created a haven in their primary suite with a proper sitting area surrounding a fireplace as well as a shower/bath wet room. New front doors and window treatments were installed to enhance the natural light and complement the much-improved aesthetic.
