The Great Room is the first room off the main entry. The home entertainment gear consists of a Samsung 55" LED TV, a Marantz SR7007 receiver, a Marantz Blu Ray, an AppleTV with Sonos handling the whole house music.

My clients asked me to transform their current living and dining room into a music room as their children enjoy playing their Baby Grand piano on a regular basis. The wall and french door was removed that was between the living room and dining room and we installed a linear electric fireplace with storage pullouts for some of their music books along the bottom on either side as well as floating shelves above the pullouts. Their wall to wall carpet was removed and new hardwood was laid down. Ceilings were scraped and pot lights were also placed throughout the space and lighting was installed underneath the floating shelves. My client loves artwork by Toronto based artist Sharon Barr so she commissioned a piece from her and that sits above the fireplace. We also installed the "Frame" TV by Samsung on the other side of the fireplace which looks like another piece of artwork nicely framed. My client already had 2 beautiful occasional chairs that we designed at Gresham House 6 years earlier so we re-purposed them in this room to sit in front of the fireplace. In the cozy sitting area, we grounded it with a beautiful silk and wool area rug, added a comfortable leather ottoman, a small round swivel chair, a beautiful contemporary sectional and a set of nesting end tables. All of this furniture was designed by The Expert Touch Interiors at The Decorating Centre. Final touches with accessories and the floor lamp and pouff were found at Urban Barn. My client's once dated and unused space is now a well-used dual purpose room that the whole family can enjoy!

Welcome to five separate units of luxury living. The residences at Greenleaf are the new standard for living the integrated lifestyle. While multiple systems control everything from lighting and powered windows, to custom wireless shades, the life of a Greenleaf resident iseasily controlled through their touchscreen interface. A Single Interface – Unlimited Control Greenleaf units are all controlled through an AMX system using an intuitive iPad user interface. With such a powerful system, residents are able to control their lighting, as well as powered shades and motorized windows through the simple touch of a button. Intelligence in Technology Thanks to automated sensors, residents are always in the know about their home and safety – whether at home or away. The control system monitors the weather and natural lighting to close powered windows if they need to be shut for incoming rain, and raise or lower shades automatically. Lights can be set to turn on as any resident gets home from work late at night, welcoming them home after a long day away. While they are getting ready to head out for a night on the town, residents can listen to their favorite music throughout the home and call the elevator when they’re ready all from one spot. Call stations allow you to always know who is at the front door, so having multiple guests over for dinner is easier (with less trips up and down the stairs). Remote, secure access allows the home owner to control their property from anywhere in the world and make sure everything is safe and sound. Save Energy Without Lifting a Finger Motorized shades can be raised and lowered automatically by the system according to weather and season for efficient light harvesting. Dimmers throughout the residences are set to a default turn-on of 80% for more energy savings. Residents can monitor their heating and cooling systems, as well as energy use, all from their touch pads at home or away. Control that Disappears At every Greenleaf residence your eyes focus on the luxurious design, not the state-of-theart technology that seamlessly controls it all. Spire collaborated to create custom solutions focused around an integrated lifestyle while maintaining the high-end design expected at the Greenleaf Trust building.

This project was a complete kitchen remodel. The existing kitchen was dark and dated and no longer met the client’s needs. The space was awkward with no usable counter space and the cabinetry had large “dead” spots that were useless. We opened up the walls enclosing the kitchen and moved all the electrical work. We also eliminated the upper bar in peninsula and make it into on level. The design was based around elements that would complement the floor's. New Medallion cabinets were installed with a custom designed back-splash. We used mariposa buff, a Samsung quartz material for the countertops and Travertine for the backsplash. LED lighting added different layers of dimension and helped create ambiance. If you are thinking about remodeling a space in your home please feel free to contact us. We currently are offering complimentary consultations. www.CustomCreativeAZ.com 602-428-6112

Inspiration for a huge mediterranean galley porcelain tile eat-in kitchen remodel in Baltimore with an undermount sink, raised-panel cabinets, beige cabinets, granite countertops, beige backsplash, stone tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances and an island

This home office was created with natural neutral color tones. The ceiling ‘s custom millwork was painted Sherwin Williams “Black Magic” in satin and flat finishes. The u-shaped walnut veneer desks’ countertop houses a XL Tyrannosaurus skull, as well as provides different work zones for varying tasks, including a motorized mechanism to convert the monitor portion of the desk to a standing desk by the push of a button. The lower cabinets are comprised of pencil drawers and lower file storage. The side backsplash wall is cladded with reclaimed pine with two floating walnut shelves flanking two cubbies. The wall perpendicular to the 49” wide 4k Samsung monitor, acts as a display wall for the proprietor’s previous work. Lastly the bold Merillat cabinets serve as hidden storage for books, samples, and other essentials.

This kitchen design embodies a perfect blend of modern elegance and functionality, featuring Dura Supreme frameless cabinets with classic Shaker doors. The painted white cabinetry offers a bright and timeless foundation, while a cherry wood island with a gray stain introduces warmth and contrast, creating a harmonious balance within the space. The countertops showcase Vadara Marbella Quartz with a bevel edge, adding a touch of sophistication and durability to the design. A marble Calacatta Gold tile backsplash in a striking chevron pattern, crafted by Jeffrey Court, elevates the aesthetic with its luxurious texture and visual interest. Premium appliances include a Wolf rangetop, Samsung double oven, Bosch dishwasher, Maytag side-by-side refrigerator, and Zephyr hood, ensuring top-tier performance and sleek integration. The addition of a Zephyr beverage center further enhances convenience and style. A Franke sink paired with a Brizo stainless steel faucet provides both practicality and elegance. Luxury vinyl flooring ties the design together, offering a warm and durable foundation for the space. Flat black cabinetry pulls add a modern, bold touch, completing this refined yet inviting kitchen.

This project reimagines the heart of the home with a warm, cohesive transformation of the family room and breakfast nook. Featuring new LVP flooring for seamless flow, a beautifully updated fireplace, motorized window coverings, and thoughtfully curated furnishings, every detail was designed to create a space that feels inviting, functional, and effortlessly stylish. The addition of a Samsung Frame TV and a refreshed dining nook brings together comfort, modern living, and everyday practicality, perfect for gathering, relaxing, and making memories.
