Wet bar - transitional single-wall dark wood floor and brown floor wet bar idea in Dallas with shaker cabinets, black cabinets, black backsplash, subway tile backsplash and gray countertops

We planned a thoughtful redesign of this beautiful home while retaining many of the existing features. We wanted this house to feel the immediacy of its environment. So we carried the exterior front entry style into the interiors, too, as a way to bring the beautiful outdoors in. In addition, we added patios to all the bedrooms to make them feel much bigger. Luckily for us, our temperate California climate makes it possible for the patios to be used consistently throughout the year. The original kitchen design did not have exposed beams, but we decided to replicate the motif of the 30" living room beams in the kitchen as well, making it one of our favorite details of the house. To make the kitchen more functional, we added a second island allowing us to separate kitchen tasks. The sink island works as a food prep area, and the bar island is for mail, crafts, and quick snacks. We designed the primary bedroom as a relaxation sanctuary – something we highly recommend to all parents. It features some of our favorite things: a cognac leather reading chair next to a fireplace, Scottish plaid fabrics, a vegetable dye rug, art from our favorite cities, and goofy portraits of the kids. --- Project designed by Courtney Thomas Design in La Cañada.

We designed this pool house, raised beds, and flowerbeds for a large private residence in Port Jefferson, New York. The re-design included paver stone retaining walls to replace some dilapidated wooden lattice structures. We did a complete overhaul on all the plantings, as well as designing the aesthetics of the pool house and outdoor shower. We also recommended replacing all the brick around the pool area with bluestone, which really brightens the space and looks much more polished. Replacing the chain-link fence around the pool area with aluminum fencing adds to the more high-end and inviting feel of the space. See more of our projects at www.amberfreda.com.

Our client was a family with younger children that came to us through the recommendations of former customers. Their existing house had been remodeled by them 10 years earlier and was well-suited to the married couple. With the addition of two younger children, they realized that the house just didn’t function very well for their family. Fortunately, the husband and wife took their time thinking about what they wanted, and by the time they met with us, had their needs well laid out. We brought in local Architect, James Stroupe, and recommended him to the client as a collaborative professional who could help us achieve their goals. This proved to be the case. Jim quickly produced design drawings for them within six weeks that clearly reflected all of the client’s needs and preferences while at the same time dramatically re-creating the home in a beautiful contemporary design. The new home required a complete reconstruction of the existing house that left only one bathroom unaltered. New square footage was added at the lower level to expand and reconfigure the living area, while an entirely new upstairs wing was constructed to create space for a new master suite with views out toward the ocean. The entire roof was rebuilt, all new windows and interior doors were added and the full exterior received a new modern looking stucco finish. Stainless steel cable railings were added to the decks to create an updated look, and fine hardwood accents were used to pull the design together. Our efforts produced a new three bedroom, three bath home with a large and inviting ground floor patio area, wide open living areas on the first floor with new kitchen, bathroom and dining room. The photographs in this section show the striking results- clean lines, dramatic architectural touches, and light, open and airy interior spaces. Our client was very pleased with the results.

Lori's latest project! New sleeper sofa, chairs, tables, art and lamps! By moving the sofa back and eliminating the loveseat and adding two chairs across from each other, she really opened the room up! We love the new neutral color scheme...so calming...and the new wing chair! What a difference! Here is what Lori's client had to say: "Thanks for all the help you gave us in selecting furniture/accessories for our home. Couldn't have done it without Lori's help. She went over and above to suggest such neat ideas and recommendations. Thanks!" Contact Knilans' 563-322-0903

Client came to us needing a transitional kitchen remodel that fit well with other parts of the home. The biggest desire was seating around the kitchen island so the children could do their homework and plenty of cabinet storage. We started by reworking the traffic flow of the room taking into consideration current appliance locations and entry ways. The client was shown a variety of kitchen cabinet samples and ultimately decided on Starmark Cabinetry. Teal subway tiles add a beautiful pop of color and texture to the backsplash. To break up the colors around the room we recommended using white cabinets to contrast agains the teal backsplash and dark wood around the appliances. The client was extremely please with the results.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, linear pendant lights also offer excellent functionality. Due to their vertical shape, these fixtures provide ample lighting that can illuminate larger areas or dining tables. The linear design allows for even distribution of light, creating a bright and cozy atmosphere in the room. Furthermore, the height of the pendant light can be adjusted to accommodate different ceiling heights and personal preferences, adding a practical element to the design.
