Great design makes all the difference - bold material choices were just what was needed to give this little bathroom some BIG personality! Our clients wanted a dark, moody vibe, but had always heard that using dark colors in a small space would only make it feel smaller. Not true! Introducing a larger vanity cabinet with more storage and replacing the tub with an expansive walk-in shower immediately made the space feel larger, without any structural alterations. We went with a dark graphite tile that had a mix of texture on the walls and in the shower, but then anchored the space with white shiplap on the upper portion of the walls and a graphic floor tile (with mostly white and light gray tones). This technique of balancing dark tones with lighter tones is key to achieving those moody vibes, without creeping into cavernous territory. Subtle gray/blue/green tones on the vanity blend in well, but still pop in the space, and matte black fixtures add fantastic contrast to really finish off the whole look!

The Carsten Lane Cottage, a classic cigar-makers conch cottage in the Old Town district of Key West, FL, was fully restored using traditional materials and techniques. The original board and batten cypress wood siding was restored and replaced in kind where required. This project received the prestigious Ceramic Star Award given by the Historic Florida Keys Foundation and has been a favorite on the Foundation's Annual House Tours several times.

Over the course of two months, both pergolas were carefully dismantled and rebuilt in the same footprint using durable cedar. Every element was designed to echo the original architecture while adding subtle enhancements that elevated the overall aesthetic. Custom rafter end detailing and new trim accents on the columns brought an extra level of refinement, complementing the home’s classic colonial character. The most delicate part of the project involved replacing the old, buried posts without disturbing the wisteria’s root system. The team used protective barriers and hand-digging techniques to safeguard the vine while ensuring the new structures were solid and long-lasting.
