This dining/living space required smaller scaled furniture pieces, with lighter tones to create a casual atmosphere. The goal was to brighten up the room and tone down the dark cabinets in the kitchen area. The client asked for a model home look and feel for her townhouse. She asked for colorful accents against a neutral background. We achieved this sophisticated look with cooling blue hues, added warmth with a golden orange, and balanced the space with the right mixture of wood and metal.

Feature In: Visit Miami Beach Magazine & Island Living A nice young couple contacted us from Brazil to decorate their newly acquired apartment. We schedule a meeting through Skype and from the very first moment we had a very good feeling this was going to be a nice project and people to work with. We exchanged some ideas, comments, images and we explained to them how we were used to worked with clients overseas and how important was to keep communication opened. They main concerned was to find a solution for a giant structure leaning column in the main room, as well as how to make the kitchen, dining and living room work together in one considerably small space with few dimensions. Whether it was a holiday home or a place to rent occasionally, the requirements were simple, Scandinavian style, accent colors and low investment, and so we did it. Once the proposal was signed, we got down to work and in two months the apartment was ready to welcome them with nice scented candles, flowers and delicious Mojitos from their spectacular view at the 41th floor of one of Miami's most modern and tallest building.

Wall Control Pegboard features formed flanges on the sides of each panel to space the pegboard panel face off of the wall so hooks can pass through. These formed flanges make installation easy because they eliminate the need to build a frame work like old, traditional pegboard sheets require. Additionally, these formed flanges create a small space for access to the backside of the panels where things like extension cords and, in this case, LED lights can be threaded through to create a cool effect behind the face of the Wall Control Pegboard. Thanks for the great customer submission William! Your new shop looks awesome and we love the LED lights behind your Wall Control Pegboard!

Working in small or awkward spaces is often the most rewarding because the problem solving required calls on one’s creativity. The slanted ceiling nook in this tween bedroom is a great example of how to turn a demerit into an asset. Instead of trying to ignore it, the feature is played up here with the bold stripe treatment. The nook’s utility is maximized by using a corner desk and creating custom wood shelves affixed to the wall using plumbing piping. Storage space remained a challenge in the room, and if we added a tall storage unit to the wall where one could fit, we would be blocking the light and views of the windows. The solution was to create a long, built-in bench with drawer storage below and two long wooden shelves, higher up the wall, for books and personal items. To bring in an industrial vibe and complement the iron bed, we distressed the wood and used plumbing pipes and fixtures for shelf support. Pops of yellow as a repeating element bring energy and personality to the space. Custom bedding, pillows, and window seat fabric from Spoonflower. Images ©Spoonflower and ©Sloan Polish Design.

This house was designed for a couple and their son. One of the design program requirements was to have two master suites on the main level. They enjoy cooking and entertaining so the public and food prep. areas are functional, attractive and conducive to people gathering around. Consequently, the square footage of the main level is large. The house is also on a very steep slope which didn't help with the required footprint. In order to minimize the related costs of building with this site condition, the footprint of the house is long and not deep as it reaches down the slope. The scale of the existing homes in the neighborhood are unimposing. In order to play down the size as viewed from the street, the facade is broken up into several different masses with low sloping roofs. Once you're inside, the house opens up with 14 foot ceilings in the entry and living areas. The ceiling height of other spaces on the main level are 10 feet. Universal design was implemented on the main level to provide inherent accessibility for everyone. The lower level accommodates several guest rooms and baths, an exercise room, a guest den with wet bar and a man cave. Another design program requirement was to make the house as maintenance-free as possible. Exterior materials include stucco, Pennsylvania Blue Stone and a new aluminum siding product called Longboard. The siding comes in many wood grain finishes and to everyone that has seen it, they think it's real wood. It's also made from heavy gauge aluminum so it doesn't ding like traditional aluminum siding. The roofs are metal standing seam. The house is energy efficient. It's fully insulated with spray foam insulation-lots of it. The exterior walls were designed with 2x6 studs and roof rafters are 2x12 to provide plenty of space for the insulation, exceeding the required R-values. Windows and doors of course are energy efficient as well. All lighting is LED. The decking around the exterior is locust, a very hard native wood which is naturally insect and rot resistant. The best part of the whole project are the owners who love their new home. They initially had plans to live in this house during the summer months and Florida during the winter. They are now seriously considering living here full-time.

This customer wanted a normal (western cedar) deck attached to his porch. He also had a drainage problem that required a french drain, and he wanted a walkway. This is the solution we came up with. under all the flagstone is a gravel bed with the french drain system inside. In between the flagstone is pea gravel to let the water through and the stones on each side serve as water traps to keep heavy rain from the house. We also dug into the hillside and installed a retaining wall with drains to make the deck the size and shape he wanted. I think it was a nice solution to a normally unusable space!

This homeowner in Downingtown, PA wanted to replace two standard white garage doors with a more distinctive, modern design that would better complement the home’s exterior. We installed two Clopay® Gallery® Collection Model GD1SU steel garage doors with elegant black arched windows, giving the home an instant curb appeal upgrade. The original white doors blended into the home’s façade and showed signs of age. The new black Clopay Gallery GD1SU doors create a striking contrast against the gray siding, while the arched window design adds architectural character and a more custom appearance. The durable, insulated steel construction and factory-applied finish provide long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance. Our team completed the two-door installation with precision, ensuring each door was properly aligned for smooth, reliable operation. The finished result is a dramatic exterior transformation that gives this Downingtown home a bold, timeless look.

1950's mid-century modern beach house built by architect Richard Leitch in Carpinteria, California. Leitch built two one-story adjacent homes on the property which made for the perfect space to share seaside with family. In 2016, Emily restored the homes with a goal of melding past and present. Emily kept the beloved simple mid-century atmosphere while enhancing it with interiors that were beachy and fun yet durable and practical. The project also required complete re-landscaping by adding a variety of beautiful grasses and drought tolerant plants, extensive decking, fire pits, and repaving the driveway with cement and brick.
