Amazing transformation of severely damaged retaining wall, Both return walls were cracked and we removed the enite section or steps and wall of the existing brick, reconstructed new all with proper drainage, and reconstructed the wall with mossrock stone to veneer. The structural part of the existing brick that remained was also veneered with mossrock, leaving the long section in the middle brick to balance with the house brick color. The entire wall was dug out from behind to install gravel and drainage, as well at to relieve pressure on wall and install weep holes not included in original wall construction. Irrigation was adjusted and a small seatwall was constructed behind existing wall to direct water away from the wall. Plantings were removed to open the view and replaced with metal railing

Initially the vanity had been made of veneered presswood and wear and tear had caused water damages that had lifted the veneer in spots. The walls were painted a greenish gray and the light was incorporated into a rectangular mirror fitted above the sink, while a small cabinet made of the same veneer hung above the toilet. A gray tiled backsplash right above the vanity surrounded the tap and ran the length of the wall. The designer decided to remove the backsplash, the mirror and the small cabinet and replace them with a full wall mirror with a new sconce, to enlarge the room and give a better display to the monochrome mural. The mural picks up a nature theme that somewhat reflects the neighbourhood vistas. The vessel sink original to the room has also been used for colour inspiration for the vanity new top, a subtle epoxy finish in dark browns with hints of blue. Photos by Marie-Pierre Ayoul.

Remodel of Upstairs Balcony Remodel and removal of weather and moisture damaged old slate tile for replacement and repair of the porch pan, floor mud – layers of floor mud to seal in the upper porch balcony from any moisture coming through into the downstairs dining room - and new slate tile. The metal fence rail and cooper gutters created complexity to the job – hiring the right expert who knew how to properly mix metals was very important for this remodel. The end result was a beautifully tiled upstairs balcony where we can sit in our rocking chairs, watching the migratory birds. Photographer: Lauren Brown

If floor space is limited or you have a long wall space you don't know what to do with the half-round Moon Pad may be the perfect choice. The Pad is 78'' wide and 39'' deep and provides a huge amount of seating space in a small area. For added comfort and back support you can add the 72'' long x 8'' diameter Roll Pad. The interior of the Pad and Roll is made of polymeric structural foam and layers of cushioning foam that are covered in a waterproof membrane made of marine grade vinyl. The vinyl has a slightly textured surface that gives it the appearance of real leather. Its firm appearance belies the soft cushiony comfort you experience when you sit down. It is stain, fungal and mildew resistant and cleans easily with soap and water. The outer cover is removable and easily replaceable with a new cover as it ages or if it is ever damaged. Available in several colors. Materials used in construction are 95% recyclable.

This zealous gardener was tired of her pool taking up so much space in her landscape. She asked me for ideas. The answer was simple. Since her garden brings her so much joy, I proposed adding more garden rooms to experience. We removed the large expansive pool and replaced it with a small reflecting pond that doubles as the pool. This allowed us to create 4 new garden spaces. We replaced all concrete pavers with natural PA flagstone. The traditional square lawn provides elements of simplicity, elegance and classical style while creating a new play space for the grand kids. The pergola creates depth and a great focal point from the loggia. We illuminated all the walkways and garden rooms with Escort Lighting. One of the most fun transformations was converting the spa to a fish pond. The pond provides just enough sound to drain out all neighborhood activities. In the front, we created a new permeable brick paving parking area. The parking area was designed to keep visitors from venturing to the back parking. We chose the permeable brick pavers to collect runoff that is becoming more of a problem in the neighborhood. Our final piece to this property was to come up with a unique solution creating additional privacy while minimizing root damage to the existing plant material. Our client was looking for a permanent solution that required little to no maintenance. Masonry walls were out due to the necessary footers. We looked at fence options. Wood and plastics were out, so we created post out of steel “I” beams and setting concrete lintels in between the lintels. It was perfect. This has to be one of my favorite projects to design and implement of my 25 year experience.

The homeowners were looking to refresh their kitchen and also replace some damaged doors. They decided to keep the same layout, but didn’t like the unused open shelving on the island end cap. We removed the shelves and installed a 12” cabinet for added storage. We also closed off one side of their dual access island cabinets with a decorative shaker panel and modified the front of the cabinets to be able to utilize full width rollout drawers for additional storage and utilization. The homeowner decided to reface the existing cabinets in Glacier White and a shaker style door. To finish the new look, we added decorative satin nickel finished hardware, new Calacatta Laza countertops and subway tile backsplash. The homeowners are pleased with their refreshed kitchen, and we were happy to provide them with the look and functionality they wanted.

After devastating flooding damaged the entire first floor and left the walls stripped to the studs, we had the rare opportunity to completely reimagine the kitchen, dining room, family room, and butler’s pantry. The kitchen received an entirely new footprint—removing the dividing wall opened the space dramatically and improved flow and functionality. The former butler’s pantry was transformed into a dedicated beverage center and coffee bar, creating a hard-working hub for daily routines. In the casual dining area, we added floor-to-ceiling cabinetry that expanded pantry storage and created a hidden “locker” for the kids’ homework, backpacks, and everyday essentials. In the family room, the outdated media niche was replaced with custom built-ins, adding architectural detail and much-needed storage, and the fireplace received a complete facelift to bring the whole room up to date. The result is a cohesive, modernized first floor designed for real family living—open, functional, and beautifully renewed.

Boynton Beach Kitchen Cabinet Refinishing Project This kitchen in Boynton Beach had cabinets covered with adhesive paper that was outdated and damaged. Our team carefully removed the adhesive, cleaned and prepped all surfaces, repaired imperfections, and applied a professional spray finish for a smooth, factory-like result. Instead of replacing the cabinets, the homeowner chose cabinet refinishing to save money while achieving a modern, durable look. We used high-quality coatings designed to resist humidity, wear, and daily use in South Florida homes. Services included: • Adhesive removal • Surface prep & sanding • Color consultation • Professional cabinet spray painting • Durable protective finish The result is a clean, updated kitchen without the cost of a full remodel.
