Breakfast bar with two bar stools against the window for a great morning coffee routine.

The master bathroom had seen better days. The dated tile work, cramped shower area, and lack of storage made her morning routine far from serene. She longed for a place where she could unwind after a long day. The old, cramped shower enclosure was replaced with a spacious, custom-tiled shower featuring luxurious fixtures and modern amenities. The tub was removed and a dry-off was added, creating a dream spacious shower. The wall tile blends Themar Venato Gold Matte 12x24 Porcelain with Ryker Black 4-Inch Leather Hexagon Marble Mosaic. The latter was also utilized in the wall niche of the newly constructed pony wall. The cabinets received a makeover with a fresh coat in SW 7026 - Griffin hue, which looks fantastic with the newly installed Carmen Symphony Quartz Countertops to create a harmonious kitchen ambiance. The pair of 24x36-inch Matte Black Moon Mirrors, equipped with pivot features, not only look fantastic but also offer clever storage options. Colleen was thrilled with the renovations, and we're privileged to have been a part of this journey. Our team relished collaborating with her at every phase of the project, and her contentment is invaluable to us.

Freeform pool featuring LED lightning and a custom water feature. This natural looking pool is enveloped with a travertine patio, luscious green grass, and multicolor plantings accented by uplighting.This backyard oasis provides an al fresco feel and an escape from the daily routine. As outdoor living continues to become a staple of homeownership in Union County, this yard provides multiple lounging zones, a dining area, a hot tub, and of course an inground swimming pool to relax, swim, and build memories.

A complete primary bathroom remodel in Springfield, Virginia, designed around three priorities our clients came in with: a real walk-in shower, a freestanding tub by the windows, and a proper double vanity with storage that actually worked. The original layout had everything in the wrong place. The tub sat against an interior wall away from the natural light. A small stall shower took up real estate across the room. The vanity was squeezed into whatever space was left over. Three windows on the back wall were doing nothing for the room because the layout was fighting them. Our solution involved knocking down the dividing wall between the old shower and vanity area, relocating plumbing for both the tub and the new vanities, and placing the freestanding tub directly under the bay of windows so morning light became part of the experience. Design Approach We anchored the room around contrast: deep navy cabinetry against soft white walls, warm brushed gold against cool marble tile, sharp Shaker lines against the curved silhouette of the freestanding tub. Navy was the design decision the rest of the room was built around — the clients knew they wanted color but didn't want anything that would feel dated in five years. Navy reads bold without being loud, pairs with virtually any metal finish, and has staying power that trendier choices don't. We used Fabuwood Galaxy Indigo for the vanities — all-plywood construction with solid wood doors and drawer fronts, soft close throughout. Shaker-style flat panels keep the navy from feeling heavy. The brushed gold (Jeffrey Alexander 635-96SBZ in satin bronze) shows up across hardware, faucets, lighting, the tub filler, and the shower trim, creating a quiet continuity throughout the room. The Shower Removing the wall between the old shower and old vanity area created room for a proper walk-in. We tiled the entire shower floor to ceiling in Decovita Calacatta Suave 24x48" porcelain — large format installed in a 50% offset horizontal pattern, with cement board and redgard underneath. The marble-look porcelain gives the visual depth of natural marble without the maintenance. A built-in shower bench, custom-built into the corner, is wrapped in the same wall tile on the front with a quartz top matching the vanity counter. The shower niche is detailed with MSI Arabescato Carrara 2" honed hex mosaic at the back, the same tile used on the shower floor. All tile edges are finished with Schluter in satin bronze to match the room's metal finishes. The shower door is custom frameless 3/8" tempered glass with a satin bronze pull — no metal frame interrupting the sight line. The Vanities and Countertops The new double vanity gives both clients their own space for morning routines. Counter tops are MSI Calacatta Miraggio Cielo quartz with pencil edging and a 4" backsplash — a soft white with subtle gray veining that reads like real Calacatta marble without the porosity issues. Two undermount square porcelain sinks finish the surface cleanly. The Tub A 60" freestanding soaker tub sits under the bay of three windows. The floor-mounted tub filler is satin bronze with a handheld sprayer. We relocated the drain and supply lines to make the centered placement work. The tub is the room's quietest feature and its strongest — clients tell us they use this bathroom differently than they used the old one. Flooring MSI Sande Ivory 12x24" matte porcelain runs throughout the bathroom floor in a 50% offset pattern parallel to the vanity wall. Cement board underneath, 4" white wood baseboard, Whisper Grey grout that handles daily use without showing wear. Paint and Lighting Walls are Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace 2121-70 in satin — a true crisp white that doesn't lean cool or warm. The ceiling uses Benjamin Moore Aura Bath and Spa White, which is formulated to resist mildew in high-humidity spaces. Lighting is layered: three new 6" LED recessed lights on a dimmer, two satin bronze vanity sconces above the mirrors, and the existing three windows providing the daytime ambient light.

Master Bathroom: Where Simplicity Meets Spa-Like Luxury A floating walnut vanity, oversized mirrors, and marble-patterned porcelain tile set a serene tone in this primary bathroom. Brushed brass fixtures add a warm, elegant contrast, while the walk-in shower with a recessed niche and rain head turns everyday routines into a spa-inspired experience.

The most transformative part of the project was the addition of the primary suite. Our clients wanted this space to be more than just a bedroom—it needed to become an integral part of their daily routine, where they could truly unwind after a long day and start each morning with intention. Because they worked from home, we connected the suite to their lounge office through a private seating room, allowing them to ease into the workday feeling refreshed and retreat just as easily afterward without ever leaving their sanctuary. Designed as a retreat, the suite features exposed wood beams that add character and warmth, while the walls are painted in White Flour by Sherwin-Williams for a soft, airy backdrop. Overhead, a Williams Sonoma Ingrid chandelier serves as a warm focal point, bringing elegance with a modern edge. A walk-in closet with glass-and-iron doors provides a boutique-like entrance, while the bedroom flows seamlessly into the spa bathroom. The bathroom walls are painted in that same Swiss Coffee by Sherwin-Williams, creating a light and calming foundation for the warm wood tones of the floating double vanity. At the heart of the room, the freestanding Kohler tub rests on a bed of smooth river stones, creating a grounding focal point that welcomes our clients to truly unwind. The zero-entry shower, finished with Kenridge Ribbon Maple Matte porcelain tile, adds an organic warmth, while Kohler matte black fixtures provide a modern contrast. This balance of natural warmth and modern refinement turned the suite into more than just a functional addition—it became the personal retreat our clients had envisioned, perfectly supporting their lifestyle of working, resting, and recharging at home.

Designed for repeat clients, this Overland Park remodel focused on improving function, flow, and everyday livability across multiple spaces. In the kitchen, the layout was refined to create a more open and efficient environment. An enlarged island now serves as a central hub for cooking, gathering, and daily use, while ceiling-height cabinetry maximizes storage and creates a clean, built-in aesthetic. New hardwood flooring ties the space together, adding warmth and continuity. A key transformation involved reconfiguring the layout to better support storage needs. By relocating the laundry room door, a dedicated pantry was introduced, significantly improving organization and accessibility. The adjacent laundry room was also updated, along with the addition of custom cubbies to streamline daily routines. For a bold contrast, the powder bath was reimagined as a moody, speakeasy-inspired space, bringing depth, character, and a memorable design moment to the home. The result is a cohesive, thoughtfully redesigned interior that enhances how the family lives day to day, balancing function, storage, and distinctive style.

This project was kick-started by the removal of a large intrusive peninsula that competed with the young family’s bustling daily routine. Having already experienced the time investment of a sweat equity remodel, our clients enlisted us to do things a bit different while still paying careful attention to their personal aesthetic and lifestyle needs. The design sought to recreate a kitchen layout that would encourage gathering and create a welcoming space for friends and family, young and old. To open things up, the wall between the kitchen and dining room was eliminated. But we chose to retain and added on architectural elements to maintain a sense of intimate space within the new open concept. Those architectural elements were a creative way to accommodate existing structural elements and respect the bones of the home. The chunky early 00s arches were squared off for a more modern feel that better aligned with the client’s style. The hub of the home centers around the large walnut island featuring storage on three sides and seating for four. Handmade tile from Heath Ceramic creates a bold focal point. To ensure the space was bright and open, we opted for the two-tone mix of walnut and white cabinetry. The walnut cabinetry grounds the island and adds a touch of symmetry by flanking either side of the gas range. A new broom closet offers visual separation between the kitchen and the garage entry. Just of the garage door are a set of three tall cabinets that have been configured as locker storage for their kid's book bags, jackers, and shoes. Opposite the lockers is an overflow pantry space, window seat with extra storage, a nook for the dog bowls, and a mail station. A glass table in front of the window seat turns this area into the perfect homework nook. A set of three glass pendants from Pottery Barn illuminate the island. The soft white countertops are Daltile’s, Lincoln White matte quartz. Sleek cabinetry pulls from Amerock add that final touch. We are so in love with this cheerful, inviting main-level and are so happy our clients get to create memories inside these walls!

A client with Traditional tastes wanted an overhaul to their builder-grade bathrooms, while still retaining their Traditional style. The Master Bath was a long, narrow space with 2 focal points – the built-in tub at the end of the room, and the vanity which faced the entry. We gave a facelift to both areas with an updated choice of materials and a modern take on the Traditional theme. Replacing the old fiberglass tub with a sleek, rectangular drop-in model, we enclosed it in a quartz platform to match the countertop. To replace the old mirror above the tub, we used a show-stopping backsplash that brings both beauty and elegance to the room. A new vanity of Decora cabinets in Maple Kindling finish, a rich brown, tied in beautifully with the backsplash and quartz. For a sophisticated touch, the counter transitions to a waterfall edge, connecting it to the tub platform. Personalized storage, such as the makeup organizer, adds convenience to the client’s routine. The shower, at the other end of the room is tied in beautifully with a coordinating porcelain. Beveled framed mirrors and a crystal chandelier are refined finishing touches. Each of the guest bathrooms was also refreshed with a modern take on the Traditional theme.

This primary bathroom was thoughtfully reimagined into a luxurious retreat designed to enhance everyday living. Our clients wanted a space that felt cohesive with the rest of their home while offering elevated comfort, convenience, and timeless style. The remodel features a dry sauna, air bath, heated floors, and a spacious zero-entry shower complete with multiple showerheads and a rainfall feature for a true spa-like experience. A dedicated makeup vanity provides a personalized space for daily routines, while custom additions like a beverage refrigerator and a concealed appliance garage for a coffee maker bring added functionality without compromising the clean, elegant design. Decorative lighting, warm finishes, and expert craftsmanship complete the transformation, creating a welcoming primary bathroom that blends luxury, practicality, and lasting beauty.

This kitchen renovation was designed to create a more open, functional space while adding thoughtful details that elevate everyday living. By opening two doorways and removing the peninsula that once divided the room, the layout now allows for better flow throughout the kitchen. The pantry wall cabinets were replaced with a custom buffet-style coffee bar, adding both storage and a dedicated spot for morning routines. Beautiful Canaan quartz countertops, gold finishes, and updated lighting bring warmth and refinement to the space, while the fluted tile backsplash from The Tile Shop adds subtle texture and visual interest. An operable bench seat by the window creates the perfect nook for a small eat-in table, making the kitchen both practical and inviting. To complete the project, SVB Wood Floors carefully feathered the floor finish to blend seamlessly with the existing hardwoods, ensuring a cohesive look without refinishing the entire main level. Thoughtful planning and quality craftsmanship helped transform this kitchen into a brighter, more functional heart of the home.

Serene Spa-Like Master Bath Retreat This master bathroom remodel blends organic warmth with elevated modern design to create a luxurious, spa-like retreat. Natural wood tones ground the space, from the custom double vanity cabinetry to the open shelving tucked beside the freestanding soaking tub. Large-format marble-look tile underfoot and in the expansive walk-in shower exudes timeless elegance. Brushed gold fixtures and lighting add a touch of glam while maintaining a soft, calming aesthetic. The dual mirrors and sconces over the vanity enhance functionality and symmetry, while a niche with decorative tile and open shelves brings both personality and practicality. A sculptural freestanding tub framed by bay windows invites relaxation and serenity. From everyday routines to long soaks at the end of the day, this master bath was thoughtfully designed for comfort, beauty, and indulgence.

This Spring 2024 bathroom renovation project in Dilworth was completed in collaboration with Tailored Designs and focused on transforming both the primary and hall bathrooms into beautiful, functional spaces tailored to the homeowners' lifestyle. The primary bathroom was redesigned to create a relaxing retreat with elegant finishes, improved functionality, and a timeless aesthetic. The hall bathroom received a complete refresh, featuring updated fixtures, thoughtful storage solutions, and a bright, welcoming design that serves both family members and guests. By combining quality craftsmanship with carefully selected materials, these renovations deliver comfort, durability, and lasting style. The result is a pair of beautifully updated bathrooms that enhance both the daily routine and the overall value of the home.

This craftsman style bathroom design offers a bright spot in any morning routine. The furniture-like white vanity cabinet with clover molding includes his and hers cabinets and sinks adjoined by a make-up vanity. Each is complemented by a matching white-framed mirror, along with a ceramic tile floor and blue wall color. A powder room was completed in the same home that included a furniture-style vanity in a warm wood tone. Steven Paul Whitsitt Photography

In the master bathroom, his and her sink vanities were nestled in opposite corners, separated by a large charcoal garden tub and small shower stall. Removing the large, corner garden tub we relocated his sink vanity beside hers along the main wall. Because two existing corner windows now occupied the space above his new sink vanity, the clients feared he would have to forego a mirror, because we didn't want to sacrifice any natural light. A custom, swivel mirror mounted inside the window casing was our solution, allowing both the mirror and window to coexist while also providing maneuverability when routine cleaning of the window was required.

We converted the never-used bathtub to a larger, walk-in shower. The sunny yellow subway tile is a bright welcome to the four pre-teens/teens that use this bathroom each day. Even the decor is encouraging with framed inspiration statements. Oil rubbed bronze plumbing fixtures create an industrial vibe in the cheery space. Double barn lights above the vanity provide task lighting for the morning routines and continue the industrial theme. photo by Myndi Pressly

This bathroom design blends warm natural textures with clean modern lines, creating a space that feels both refreshing and inviting. Featuring a custom floating vanity, integrated stone sinks, and a tranquil soaking tub, the design balances elegance with everyday functionality. Soft wood accents, warm brass fixtures, and layered lighting enhance the atmosphere, while premium materials and meticulous craftsmanship turn daily routines into a luxurious experience.

Beautiful spec home build that boasts an open floor plan design. The designer worked with blue color pallet as inspiration throughout this home project. The master bath in this home was designed to give a spa like escape to the lady of the home. A free standing tub was used in the master in place of a drop in tub. The family room has a beautiful stone fireplace with bookcases to give the room a beautiful room feeling. The fireplace wall was also given a unique look to draw the eye to that wall as a focal point in the room. A drop zone was added into the laundry area just inside the garage entrance which has both benches as well as cubbies for the homeowners to be able to drop items when returning from activities during their daily routines.
