I often like to go to antique stores in town and other cities. The sweet bird art is of real feathers that we found while shopping in Nashville. A brushed gold floor faucet fills the deep soaking tub. We wanted a feminine pink for the walls but nothing too girly. After many test samples we found the one, Benjamin Moore Boudoir!

This space is inspired by my eclectic tastes and my love of mid-century esthetic. 3D photo visualizations help me test lighting, textures, and create a presentation that really engages us to explore every detail. All assets are modeled from real life materials and hardware and can be easily be purchased.

Our modestly sized original showroom (we've since moved to a different location) was designed to show some examples of how the workstation concept can work for almost any kitchen size or style. And even though the showroom features more finishes, colors, sizes and details than a real YesterTec kitchen would have, the variations are possible because the colors of the wall and floor surfaces meander between each piece, acting as the ‘glue’ that unifies the design. Many of the prototype pieces that you see below were created in 1996 and three of them were tortured during our extensive Underwriter Laboratory tests that were required so that we could safely hide the ‘hot’ appliances when they are not being used. We still feel that the ability to conceal the ‘tech’ look of today’s appliances is what makes this concept so enduring.

Updated Spec Home: The Bathrooms The last stop on the main level of this Updated Spec Home are the Bathrooms. Every surface of the Guest Bath and Master Bath was touched- even some renovations in the Master bedroom. All I can say is thank goodness these two love wallpaper – we selected classic patterns for each bath that will stand the test of time! Guest Bathroom The Guest Bath also doubles as my mom’s bath. The footprint remained the same but we updated everything. A new vanity was chosen to give her that furniture look while still providing some storage – although there is a linen closet located just outside the bath. We topped it off with a beautiful mirror with great detail and an equally great light fixture. Also, we mixed the finishes in the bath between nickel and champagne, i.e., gold/silver mix. Mixing metals is perfectly acceptable and quite frankly way more interesting the everything matching. Updated Spec Home Bathrooms - Robin's Nest Interiors Updated Spec Home Bathrooms - Robin's Nest Interiors We found this amazing wallpaper with its subtle colors and pattern and selected a large square tile to coordinate for the floor. Yes, you can do a large tile in a small bath because it actually makes the space feel larger. For finishing touches, we had this gorgeous shower curtain made. Above the new toilet, we added interesting abstract artwork framed in a large mat so it would not clash with the wallpaper. Master Bathroom Originally, the Master Bath had a large garden tub as the focal point and a tiny stand up shower in the corner. We removed the garden tub, moved the shower to this area as the focal point and turned the tiny shower into a much needed linen closet. At this point, I know you are thinking, what about resale with no tub? There is a tub in the Guest Bath so the house will still be appealing to young families or bath lovers alike. © 2016 RealTourCast | Tim Furlong Jr. Tile selections came first – my sister fell in love with this gorgeous dark greige glass tile.

This bespoke fitted furniture for a child’s bedroom was created for our clients’ family home in Guildford, Surrey. Our clients wanted a made-to-measure suite of sustainable, handcrafted furniture in a classic design that would stand the test of time. The timeless shaker style and traditional construction in solid wood ensures a quality that will endure for generations. The built-in furniture includes floor to ceiling wardrobes, drawers, display shelves and an integrated desk that all fit perfectly with the interior architecture of our clients’ home. While the mainly closed storage looks neater and helps to minimise clutter, a set of cubby holes has been created to display toys, books, and pictures. The bespoke cabinetry is spray-painted with an eco-friendly paint from Farrow and Ball in Shadow White. This soft white with a hint of grey is a neutral, restful colour. Doors and drawers are dressed with antique brass knurled cupboard knobs. The worktop surface is a hardwearing natural light real oak wood veneer. Fully integrated cabinetry The floor to ceiling cabinetry is beautifully finished with a custom-made decorative plaster cornice. The cornice gives tall wardrobes and bookcases a finished, aesthetically pleasing look by providing a smooth transition from the top of the cabinets to the ceiling. Pull-out trays for wardrobe interiors The two low levels of full extension, soft glide trays are a super storage feature for all kinds of folded clothes, footwear, bags, and other belongings. The low-profile fronts provide easy access to the contents.

It was created to make the installation of thin brick easy and durable. The shelves are for supporting the bricks and create perfect mortar lines. The interlocking edges found every 8 ¼” at the top and bottom of each panel become triple metal shelves that provide additional support to each grid and reinforce the wall as well. The interlocking edges produce level and straight horizontal lines creating perfectly aligned bricks every time. Mortar anchoring slots ensure a bonding to the grid, and the linear array of holes is designed for adhesive providing a mechanical attachment between the brick, grid and substrate. Roll formed continues ledges make this panel extremely rigid. In addition the need forstarter channels, special corner panels and other is entirely eliminated. The Brick-It™ Patented Panel system is the simplest and strongest installation system available.

This Ravensdale, WA project showcases a thoughtfully designed outdoor living space that blends functionality, comfort, and craftsmanship. The new patio cover was custom-built to integrate seamlessly with the existing home, featuring a solid structural design, clean lines, and carefully matched roofing for a cohesive finish. Attention to detail played a key role throughout the build. From precise beam placement and soffit installation to coordinating gutter tie-ins with the existing drainage system, every element was planned to ensure both performance and aesthetics. The structure was adjusted on-site to accommodate existing features like the fireplace vent, maintaining proper clearances while preserving the overall design intent. The outdoor kitchen was framed with durable steel studs, providing a long-lasting foundation for future finishes and appliances. The layout allows for flexibility, with provisions for upgraded countertops, lighting, and appliance selections as the homeowner finalizes design choices. Adjacent to the kitchen, the custom outdoor fireplace creates a natural focal point, complete with a Douglas fir mantle that adds warmth and character, embracing the organic qualities of the material. Electrical upgrades enhance usability and ambiance, including integrated LED lighting, heater provisions for year-round comfort, and strategically placed outlets to support both the kitchen and entertainment needs. The system was designed with efficiency in mind, utilizing existing pathways and infrastructure wherever possible. Throughout the project, the team prioritized clear communication and adaptability—whether working around existing site conditions, coordinating multiple trades, or making real-time adjustments to deliver the best outcome. The result is a versatile and inviting outdoor space designed for everyday living and entertaining, built to stand the test of time.
