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.

The Small Flush Hybrid-Fyre™ wood insert is a compact sized unit that can fit where most inserts never have before. Its size is perfect for smaller masonry and zero clearance fireplaces with its 14 inch depth and 1.2 cubic foot firebox. It features a never before seen flue connection with a detachable flue collar that makes for quick and easy installations that are typically very difficult with a unit of this size. A large fire viewing glass area is surrounded by a rectangular door and a concealed blower that increases heat transfer up to 1,000 square feet. The Small Flush Wood burning insert is extremely efficient and clean-burning because it features the world’s cleanest burning technology, Hybrid-Fyre™. Hybrid-Fyre allows this unit to run at 76% overall efficiency and produce only 0.89 grams of emissions per hour, emitting virtually no smoke or carbon monoxide. The GreenStart™ igniter option adds to the efficiency of this insert because it can start its own fire with just the push of a button.

Dining room - modern dining room idea in Portland

Our vision was to design a sleek, modern outdoor space featuring a rectangular pool with a spillover edge and an attached spa, blending style with relaxation. A fireplace adds warmth and ambiance, creating the perfect spot to unwind. The addition of a pool house enhances both convenience and luxury, providing a versatile space for entertaining or lounging. Our goal was to bring modern sophistication into the backyard, crafting a refined yet inviting retreat where clients can relax and entertain in style.

Family room - contemporary family room idea in Montreal

This project caught the eye of famed "Designerlebrity.com" and launched Wendy as one of six of their hightly coveted designation as a "Potential" star in interior design for 2017. This lovely home was inherited as a part of the family ranch and needed to be transformed to reflect the "new" owner's tastes. Edgecomb Grey walls, Quartz countertops, farm-inspired lighting, and comfy cozy furnishings make this space a happy home to return to after a great day of work on the Ranch.

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

A combined kitchen/dining room was converted into a large family space by placing the rectangular dining table in the under-used living room/music room in front of a beautiful fireplace. We chose to design a built in bench for more informal seating, and added a perfect sized round table, that was used elsewhere in the home. Changing the opening to the music/dining room, lets in light, and added cabinetry and a beverage center on a full brick wall that had no cabinets at all. http://www.kitchenvisions.com
