These Essex County, NJ homeowners contacted us to design and install a resort-like outdoor living space in their backyard. Their wishlist included an in-ground swimming pool, a pavilion, an outdoor kitchen, beautiful flowers, and a large flat area for a swing set and space for their children to play. At the initial meeting, they fell in love with photos of a project we did in their neighborhood which featured a pavilion aligned with the center axis of a rectangular swimming pool. With that as a starting point, we completed the design by installing an outdoor kitchen near the pavilion with a large patio space to accommodate a dining area. This project features The Hampton, one of the most popular pools over the past few years. It is surrounded by a patio built using Techo-Bloc Blu60 pavers. The luxurious pavilion includes a gas-powered outdoor fireplace with a TV mounted on it. With an outdoor kitchen featuring multiple burners, a wine refrigerator, and tons of counter space, there is no need to run back and forth between the kitchen and the patio.

This was a new build without any personality. The client wanted a contemporary look, but still with some accents of colour. A tile surround from floor to ceiling was added to the fireplace and wall mounted TV. An asymmetrical design was created to either side of the fireplace by placing a book shelve to one side and art work and an ottoman to the other. New PVC shutters provide functional and an easy maintenance window treatment. Sleek lines and neutral textures with accents of yellow and blue give this room a very warm and inviting feel and look.

Iantha Carley Interiors was commissioned to design the family room of the Eighth Annual D.C. Design House benefiting the Children’s National Health System. Proper Paint & Paper was brought in to support the execution of room. From the abundant space, we crafted a family-friendly setting, incorporating a gorgeous walnut coffee table (with storage underneath for games or books) and lots of comfortable seating in indoor and outdoor fabrics to accommodate a soccer team or movie-viewing party.

This recently completed three-sided fireplace surround provides a light and airy transition from the kitchen to the adjacent living space. The blue-grey Pacific Ashlar slate veneer supplied from K2 Stone creates the illusion of traditionally defined rooms while maintaining an open concept theme. The unique green veining of the Bianco Perla quartzite surround compliments the neutral, nature-inspired tones of the décor.

For this project the house itself and the garage are the only original features on the property. In the front yard we created massive curb appeal by adding a new brick driveway, framed by lighted brick columns, with an offset parking space. A brick retaining wall and walkway lead visitors to the front door, while a low brick wall and crisp white pergola enhance a previous underutilized patio. Landscaping, sod, and lighting frame the house without distracting from its character. In the back yard the driveway leads to an updated garage which received a new brick floor and air conditioning. The back of the house changed drastically with the seamless addition of a covered patio framed on one side by a trellis with inset stained glass opposite a brick fireplace. The live-edge cypress mantel provides the perfect place for decor. The travertine patio steps down to a rectangular pool, which features a swim jet and linear glass waterline tile. Again, the space includes all new landscaping, sod, and lighting to extend enjoyment of the space after dusk. Photo by Craig O'Neal
