Small coastal condo gets a new life!
This project started as a consultation that really focused on whether or not it was feasible to maximize functionality out of a tight kitchen area in a condo on the beach. The cabinetry was sort of dated but not terrible terrible.
Refresh or total gut of this small kitchen
The client wanted to give it a refresh worked but we had worked with her before…so she could not quite decide how far to go. Maybe just repaint the existing cabinets? She needed some furniture. She wanted a little more ambiance and pizazz. And she wanted the Cheryl magic.
Ok finally, decision made. Kitchen had to go@!
Decision made- a new kitchen to go with the new living!
After further review on site with her during the consult meeting, and pitching a few inquiries around for bids on cabinetry and countertops – she ultimately decided to gut and re-do the whole layout. And man-oh-man what a difference some well executed design makes!!
This layout was unique and truly optimized every inch we could muster from the kitchen. (Working around that spiral staircase and navigating the soffit that wrapped the entire kitchen and adjacent living room!!) Colors needed to be bold while still feeling fresh so we paired a deep aubergine and a sort of “matte” Caribbean blue which laid the groundwork for a stunning living area palette.
Tough layout to enlarge much
There were a lot of other “givens” in this space that made the execution of the design a highly strategized process. We knew we had to work around the large wall space that starts the kitchen because it had the laundry room hiding on the other side… the awkward nook with windows on all sides that was a small breakfast area before the remodel… oh, and did we mention that dang spiral staircase?! Multiple site visits to plot the cabinetry and countertop curve paid off all said and done, though!
Living space that work with the open floor plan kitchen
Designing the furnishings then became the fun part! With a smaller living space flanked by windows and sliders – but one that needed to balance the kitchen in substance – we had to break a few preferred design rules to make up the amount of seating desired.
The deep grape-y purple barrel swivels were the perfect “transition” piece by the slider offering access to the views while being versatile enough to still afford safe use of the slider and passage outside. Adding some graphic punch with the droplet shaped, stone and brass cocktail table and bold multicolored rug we love the balance of these weightier aesthetic choices with the adjacent kitchen.
Signature pieces make all the difference
Carrying through little pops of that blue green between the counter stools (I die! Seriously! SO GORGEOUS) and the sofa (with those brass nails!) — these colors really created a sturdy but eclectic tonal feel that the client was just over the moon for. The art and grasscloth on the walls throughout developed the architecture of the space in an overall structure that was really lacking – it feels warm, inviting, comfortable – BEAUTIFUL – but not too priss and pomp.
Now if we could just keep the pup off the sofa!

“The lights look amazing! The Orange finish color pops against the green of the house. They were a fun choice, not a safe one. There are a lot of fixtures that look like these, but I doubt many of them are built like these.”

The homeowners of this transitional contemporary home near Albany, Vermont, are avid bird watchers. When building their new home near the Green Mountains, they wanted windows and doors that provided natural views while also helping to protect the local bird population. The homeowners used bird-friendly, bird-strike-deterring glass to meet both of these goals.
The homeowners used the services of the Marvin at 7 Tide Brand Experience Center in Boston, Massachusetts, to help curate the window and door choices for their project, including confirming their desire to use bird-friendly glass in Marvin Ultimate collection windows and exterior doors. To complete their home, they selected interior doors from TruStile.

We used a 24x24 grey tile on the floors for easy maintenance. Our client wanted to play safe by using a subway tile on the shower walls. When it comes to subway tiles the choices are endless. We proposed a subway tile with a colour variation of white and grey. To bring some warm to this project we designed and custom made a wood vanity.

Vintage wood, reclaimed barn wood and reclaimed barn wood alternatives are very popular building materials due to their aesthetic beauty, traditional look, and chemical free finish.
If the environmentally friendly and renewable aspect of natural wood siding is important to you, be sure to do your homework when choosing your siding, interior accents, trim, timbers, or other wood siding products. Some companies choose to use degenerative chemicals to achieve the desired look and texture of rustic wood siding. This is not the case with Montana Timber Products.
Montana Timber Products' most commonly seen rustic siding texture options are Circle Sawn and Wire Brushed.
The Circle Sawn texture commonly seen on rustic reclaimed barn wood is created from the large circular saw blades used in more traditional milling practices. The Wire Brushed option, like the Circle Sawn, adds physical and aesthetic depth to the wood grain. In addition to the aesthetic beauty added from the texturing process, greater surface area is created, which allows the Seal-Once, 100% NO VOC waterproofer to more effectively penetrate the wood.
ranchwood kiln dried, circle saw, ship lap, tackroom, douglas fir rough #2
Whether you are looking for siding, beams, flooring, or interior accents, Montana Timber Products offers a solution for your rustic needs. All Montana Timber Products’ prefinished wood siding utilizes Seal-Once, a 100% NO VOC waterproofer with a 10 year limited warranty against water ingress.

"Not beige" was the homeowner's directive for this space. So often it is easy to fall back into safe and familiar furniture and color choices. This room started with the the bold selection of the lemon grass sofa. With orange chairs the combination called for a rug to tie it all together. Mixed material tables and colorful accent pillows complete look.

Creating a dream bedroom involves more than just selecting furniture and color schemes; it’s about curating every detail to reflect your personal style and provide comfort. One of the most impactful elements in achieving this is choosing the right area rug. Whether you envision a serene sanctuary or a chic retreat, the perfect rug can enhance your bedroom decor and make a striking statement.
Imagine stepping into a bedroom where the first thing that greets you is a luxurious hand-tufted rug, its rich textures and plush pile inviting you to sink your toes into its softness. Hand-tufted rugs offer not only comfort but also a touch of artistry, with designs that can range from contemporary geometric patterns to traditional motifs. For those who appreciate the craftsmanship of a bygone era, hand-knotted rugs bring an unparalleled level of detail and durability, making them timeless treasures in any bedroom setting.
If a more modern or transitional look is what you’re after, machine-woven and heat-set rugs provide both style and practicality. These rugs, available in various patterns and vibrant colors, are designed to maintain their appearance and texture with minimal maintenance. Machine-washable options add an extra layer of convenience, ensuring that your rug remains fresh and clean even in the most active spaces.
For a touch of classic elegance, consider flat-woven rugs such as kilims, known for their reversible design and lightweight feel. These rugs offer a textured look and can seamlessly blend into both traditional and contemporary decors. Hand-loomed rugs also fall into this category, offering a handcrafted quality that adds uniqueness to your bedroom while maintaining a sophisticated edge.
Shag and flokati rugs are perfect for those who value comfort and a cozy ambiance. Their long, plush fibers create a sumptuous feel underfoot, making them ideal for creating a warm and inviting space. Meanwhile, braided and hand-hooked rugs add an artisanal charm and a bit of rustic flair, while organic and distressed designs bring a natural, lived-in feel to the room.
When selecting your area rug, it’s important to consider practical features to enhance both safety and durability. Non-slip and adhesive backings ensure that your rug stays securely in place, protecting hardwood floors from potential damage. Water-resistant and stain-resistant properties make these rugs practical choices for busy bedrooms, while cushioned options add an extra layer of comfort.
Personalization is key in making a space uniquely yours. Rug sets, including options sized like 8x10, allow you to create a cohesive look that fits perfectly within your room's dimensions. Whether you opt for contemporary designs with fringe details or traditional patterns with intricate textures, there’s a rug that can meet your needs.
In summary, the 15 best area rugs are not just about covering the floor; they’re about adding personality and comfort to your bedroom. With a variety of styles ranging from modern to traditional, and features that cater to both aesthetic and functional needs, the right rug can transform your bedroom into a personal oasis of style and comfort.
