ShadeFX complemented the sophisticated pergola design by adding a beige waterproof retractable shade. The combination of painted hardware, reduced canopy drop and hidden cable stabilizers, make it appear as though the pergola and shade are a single cohesive unit.

With respect to the notion of old-meets-new, the kitchen strikes a comfortable balance between materials. For the center island, Franklin repurposed original barn siding into cladding for the unit, painting it grey. The Corian counter top and stainless steel backsplash provide a cool contrast. A set of antique barstools was a fortunate find for the homeowner. Sourced from a local bar that had closed, all they needed was a little elbow grease to realize their full potential. It took days to remove years worth of nicotine stains from them, but as Franklin exclaims, "It was worth it because the old stools found a new home in an old barn!" The partial wall was designed to address a number of functional and aesthetic concerns. Dividing the workspace from the storage space, it keeps the pantry area out of view, and allows light to carry through this area of the home. Franklin also uses the wall as a means to display his growing teapot collection. "It’s funny," he confesses, "but I think they can entice people to sit down, have a cup of tea and converse (Imagine that in this world of technology!)" Adrienne DeRosa Photography

The large corner tub and angled shower created a choppy feel and made the room feel smaller. Aligning the redesigned shower and the new drop-in tub flush against the wall makes for a much more uniform look. The beautiful design details of this space include frameless glass encasing the shower, a custom shower bench to match the granite vanity counter tops, and glass mosaic accent tiles. The diagonal offset lay of the 12x24 flooring tiles reduces the appearance of the grout lines and makes the room appear larger. Final photos by www.impressia.net

A 22’x12’ manual retractable canopy was installed on the homeowners’ wood pergola. To accommodate the sliding glass door when the canopy is retracted, extra wings were added to reduce the canopy drop.

Beside the refrigerator, we tucked in some open shelves to provide a coffee station for easy access during busy mornings.

This pool is a perfect square. By its shape, lines, unique grey coating and the mirror edge on the four sides, it is an exceptional modern pool featuring squares on the side as a minimalist reminder. It seems like a large mirror dropped in this lush garden.
